The new will wear off very quickly with aTm.

Miami sucks and would not be able to perform well in the SEC. Rather small school with an underwhelming alumni base.

A&M fans are really freaking weird. I'd be all for A&M joining the SEC but I doubt I'd go see LSU play there for example. No way will FSU ever leave the ACC as long as that conference retains a BCS bid.

I just got off the phone with someone on campus who I had been trying to talk to over the last few days because he's very well connected. Unlike a lot of things we had heard over the past few days which might have contradicted something else we heard or came from outside the university itself, his stuff comes from the highest levels and it's like God handing Moses the Ten Commandments.

A&M's going to the SEC.

This is what was said:

When the LHN was announced last fall, A&M officials took a long hard look at the economics of the deal and decided that they couldn't compete with Texas unless they did something different. They have been in discussions with SEC officials since that time. The person he talked to said that all future alignment discussions would be based on economics and that A&M was ahead of the curve in this regard.

On August 22, the A&M BOR will make it official. It doesn't matter what the NCAA decided today regarding the LHN or if the Big 12 has any further meetings or whatever penalties are assessed by the Big 12 for A&M leaving the conference.

There's nothing that can be done at this point to stop this. The BOR has determined that A&M's future lies in the SEC and away from Texas and will ratify this officially.

He was told that although Rick Perry will be in Birmingham and South Carolina this weekend, he has nothing to do with it. He was also told that he didn't have anything to do with the events of last summer. The timing of Perry's trip to the south has to do with his announcement that he is running for president which will be made Saturday on the same day that the Iowa straw polls are being done.

I apologize for not having much prior to this but this is the conversation that I waiting to have because there has been no better source on A&M over the years and because this comes directly from the highest levels. Prior to that, I wanted to be cautious but there's no need to be cautious at this point.

It's over."

Yeah. I don't know if it is because of their abusive relationship with Austin, but very different. They are clannish too.

Oh, and everything is bigger and better in Texas. Get used to hearing this.

That is a myth. And I've never met an Aggie I don't like. On the other hand, hog fans...

Last game I went to was in the 80's, obviously. I was a kid, so not me.

I'm very excited about this, unless we get the criminoles or da U.


Bring em on and stick em in the East. FSU is primed to take over the state of Florida.

FSU isn't going to "take" the state of Florida. They can't even fill up their stadium.

We play them every year regardless, so really it affects others more than Florida.

FSU doesn't add a TV market. The SEC can do a lot better for sure.

As much as I hate daU, they would bring south FL, which is a great TV market.

This decision will be made based on dollars and cents.
