What am I missing about A&M..

I see they have won 1 bowl game (2001) since joining the Big 12(10).. and finished in the top 25 last year for the first time since 1999.
Why all the hype? The Shermanator?
I understand returning all these starters creates promise but by the time they get to the SEC they're are going to suck balls.

Look back a little farther. And look at our fanbase, resources, etc. We have potential.

We are finally putting the pieces together to form a strong foundation for a football team. You're right, our resume isn't stellar. But we've made some noise lately and could provide a great addition to the SEC area. The state of Texas is the unquestioned king of HS football and only stands to benefit those that have a hand in it.

I like the deal from the rivalry POV. Arky hates them and they'll be a natural rival for us since we recruit the same swath of east Texas.
If we can find a decent counter-balance in the East like a FSU, VT or Clemson that would avoid a division re-alignment, then I really like this a lot.

how can you be so myopic to not grasp the fact that gaining a footprint in the state of Texas is huge for the SEC
it's monumental, it's a game changer for everyone

A&M had a tough time for a few years, and then compounded it by hiring Dennis Franchione. It was like when Texas hired John Mackovic, it just was a terrible fit. They are recovering now.
I'd like to see the Ags get back to the "wrecking crew" days when their defense was nothing less than awesome.
It's a great school, with great tradition, a fanatic fan base, and lots of upside.

Why all the hype?
2. Recruiting. It'll open up access to a LOT of Texas recruits we normally don't have a shot at. IMO, this will work out far better for A&M than any other SEC school; playing in the SEC and staying home in Texas provides a lot more incentive to recruits. Although, LSU should fare better than most other current SEC schools.
