If this ain't assurance that A&M isn't gonna be in the SEC, I don't know what is

I hate conference expansion.

However, I do like the fact that A&M told the Big 12 "hey, maybe we should think about an open relationship."

Any reaction from the representatives from Waco? Afterall, you and your d-bag president have been very vocal recently.

Never been as bad as that ass in Wacko. Never been as desperate. Tech can go West.

True, but he's been going on about the need for keeping the conference together through state (or federal) legislation or something....been pretty verbal too

i don't know if it was in this thread or not, but some of us said this would happen.

the a&m websites have done a fabulous job covering this. it makes one see just how sad the "regular" media is.

the process still isn't finished, but they will be the next member of the sec.

If there is one to be held, it is currently unscheduled. I would certainly expect an emergency meeting of University Presidents within a few days of any announcement from us. There has been expressed desire to maintain the conference from many members. Aint that right Baylor?

This seems to indicate that there is a scheduled meeting for Saturday, the BOD of the B12.

Visited College Station for the first time last week. Enjoyed the Chicken. Even though I had to split my order up into threes. Apparently you have to order food, draft beer and bottle beer at individual counters? Still don't understand.

Hit me up next time you come though and I'll get the first round. That goes for the rest of y'all too.

Now Freak, about that name change.....

I'm geeked about it. For those wailing about the loss of "tradition"....Arkansas and South Carolina weren't originals at all and they've fit in ok.

Texas is an awesome state (I've got family in Abilene) and we're plucking the normal, most "SEC" school out of the lot...not the lesser siblings in Tech and Baylor or the douche-y one in Texas.

I say come on down.

I really like this idea. A&M is a solid school with a good football history and the football program is on the way back to being a perennial Top 20 team like when I was a kid.

Their traditions are unrivaled and the rest of the sports teams consistently compete for and win championships. This only strengthens the SEC, makes competition tougher, and further bolsters the best conference in the NCAA.

The University of Texas would have been a terrible fit for the SEC and the arrogance they have displayed throughout this whole process has really strengthened the negative feelings for their program, both in their own state, and nationally. I don't care if they can dictate the market, doesn't mean they should be able to bully all the other conference teams into diminished returns to buoy their bottom line. That crap wouldn't and shouldn't be allowed to fly in this "nape of the woods, neck of the wape". It will be fun to see how this all plays out after A&M leaves.

Welcome aboard, Aggies! Can't wait to see y'all on the schedule in the coming years.

I hope we annihilate y'all in basketball and football. You can have baseball.
