re: Reports: Texas A & M to the SEC

for any of you who oppose this, you are fricking idiots.

Here's what does not matter at all:

-weird fanbase
-positives/negatives of college town
-tailgating
-academics
-winning record
-win % against ________


and what does matter to all of us, especially in the west:

-$$$$$$$
-Recruiting
-You will be playing every other year in the state of Texas


that's it, that's all you need, that's all this about - this is great thing

FSU and Miami do it!

For real. Their yearly games with Florida would count as conference games. And those schools would add to the strength of the SEC.

If AU and UA can be successful out of the same state, then those Florida schools can too. If not, oh well.

I'm not too crazy about the expansion of the conference. But it is something I'm going to have to get use to and I will. If we are going to add a team, aTm isn't a bad team to get. I'd also like to see us pull in FSU if we pull in aTm.

I thought Arky and LSU would be a long trip. Good Lord for A&M.

Yeah, that drive will suck.

Closest game is LSU.

364 miles/6 hour drive.

You are the idiot if you believe your reasons are persuasive to Arkansas. We already play every year in Texas and get a lot of $$$$ doing so. Adding aTm to the conference will more than likely hurt recruiting more than help it (I don't believe it will have an impact In recruiting at all).


BTW, College Station sucks.

Add A&M only. Eliminate divisions. Six permanent rivals. Top two duke it out in Atlanta.

We have the most history with them. Makes sense to me.
