I have not been a cfb fan for long. I did not realize how poisonous U.Texas was to a conference (if that is true).
Are there links that cover the Longhorns' degradation of the the Big12 or SWAC (right?)? Or is it just common knowledge to older/wiser fans?

UTw
A&M
LSU
Oklahoma
Arkansas
Oklahoms St.
Ole Miss
Miss State

SEC East
Alabama
Florida
UGA
Auburn
UTe
USCe

Now this is a Mega Conference and I would welcome it! If you want to be a Bear be a Grizzly!

I only want 1 Texas school to join and that would be out of UT or aTm. Having 2 Texas schools would be too detrimental to LSU recruiting in Texas.

I don't want them mainly because I feel like they don't want to come here because they are afraid of joining a big boy conference. Also, LSU's schedule is fricking hard enough as it is with Alabama, Florida, Auburn, and lately Ole Miss every year. Adding Texas would be another bitch and a half. The challenge wouldn't be terrible, though. It would be awesome to travel to Austin every other year.

During the Southwest Conference days, Texas controlled the conference (politically). It consisted of all-Texas teams and Arkansas until Arkansas left. Diversity converts to larger viewing audiences and $$$. Frank Broyles could see the whole equation (for us). I've always believed that Texas preferred to keep it that way because it virtually insured them having an easier road to championships/elite bowl games/money. Texas has always had strong teams and they like to dominate/control their divisions/conference. Their team would not have near the success that they are used to having if they were in the SEC. They would be successful, just not nearly as successful, which converts to less championships and money, IMO. Unequal sharing of revenue helped in the short term and hurt them in the long term ...at least in the Big 12.

Nebraska and Colorado finally were done with UTw bullshite and they moved on to better deals! It is about money and UTw is and always will be a bully! This is the reason why UTw will never join the SEC because UTw can't bully members of the SEC! The SEC is the best College Football Conference and it isn't even close! UTw has a great athletic program but it is a shame that the people who run it are a big bunch of Pussies that would rather dominate a shitty Conference instead of competing with the best! The good news for college football is that even though there might be a Texas dominance over a shitty conference there will always be SEC team to whip their arse! SEC, SEC, SEC!

99%???



Sorry, I cannot give a serious answer to someone who pulls stats out of their arse.

FWIW, everyone SEC fan I know wanted UT, because none of us are scared of competition. Our conference is loaded with recent national champions, why on earth would UT scare us??? Frick, bring 'em on.

We're 2-2 against Texas since joining the SEC.

We love playing them. I just don't want to see them in our conference.

To the people complaining about UT fans. What the hell is the gripe? I've lived in Austin for a while and I've never had issues with them. The only thing that annoys the hell out of me is the stupid hook em horns hand thing, but other than that they are nice in general. On the other hand, people are saying that they would rather have A&M join the SEC...and we ALL know how retarded their fans are...

Without Tech and Baylor would be fine with me. A more appropriate question would be ...why does Texas think the SEC isn't good enough for them?

Eh, I'd rather have AM because it wouldn't hurt our recruiting. UT coming would. Not scared though, just don't want them in. They seem to be a plague on any conference they join. They come in and try to run the show. I don't want that.


How would UT coming hurt LSU's recruiting? They already recruit at a high level year after year, and for the most part get their pick in Texas. aTm has the biggest leap to make in recruiting; they would potentially be the biggest hindrance to LSU's recruiting effort's.

Although I agree on rather having aTm join at this point.
