re: Reluctantly A&M will head to PAC 10 with Texas, in my opinion

ONCE a year they will go to the west coast

and ONE game a year in AZ

both better destinations than BR/little rock will all due respect

the rest of the time its the same damn teams they play now

bascially trading out lubbock, Stillwater

for Miss and Auburn

Hence why you're a Texas fan. I travel to Alabama and enjoy it not because the town of Tuscaloosa is the most aesthetically beautiful place in the world but because there is a big football game where two passionate fanbases get together for a weekend, and it's only five-six hours away and I can go to work or school on Friday and still make it down there Friday night.

You don't have that advantage. And no, traveling to those schools would be cool initially but would then suck arse because it would be a pain in the arse year in and year out.

im not a texas fan,, dumbass

yet you defend them like you have some stake in this. You must feel serious penis envy through all of this. Just ankle biting on the board with no real play in any of it. Have fun relying on mediocre baseball.

no,, its just funny that SEC fans cant see past thier one myopic outlook

the PAC 10 combination is MORE big markets to sell the product in,,

Ive said plenty of time the best football in the country in played from Fla to Texas

but this isnt about football its about $$



and as a fan,, of any team I would rather travel once a year to LA... or Seattle or San Fran,, than any town a SEC team plays in

easier to schedule flights,( cheaper), more to do once Im there,,

Everyone knows it's about money and increased television exposure. You're not really saying anything that hasn't already been said a hundred times on here.

Again, depends on what you are looking for during a weekend. San Fran is better than every place in the SEC, but then driving to Paulo Alto for a weekend to watch a football game doesn't give you much time to site see.

It's a lot easier to just go a few hours down the road to a place that actually cares about football. I care about football, you care about looking at an ocean. I can do that in Destin.

but "that" game happens ONCE a year in the pac 16,, every other game IS withen driving distance

and in the SEC there would also be at least ONE game you would have to fly to From Austin or Houston

I can drive to LA about as easy as I can knoxville

Using the longhorns as an example
will travel to Seattle ONCE every 16 years

last year there were plenty of LSU fans pumped about going up to play Washignton, a 16 year cycle it will always be fresh

Not a conference where tailgating can only start at 2pm on a Saturday. Talk about lame.

I have tailgated at Udub, Oregon state and Oregon......those people must not know the law and the police are just letting it slide I guess.

I am in now way comparing tailgating to the sec but your version certainly isn't true from my experiences.

I don't know what to tell you. There is a reason the SEC is the SEC and the Pac 10 isn't. And it starts with passion for the game, something that is lacking on the Pacific Coast.
