I agree. What do they bring? I don't know what sport they really excel at.


Feel free to check the Director's Cup for the last few years. Our Athletic Department is currently second overall to only UF in the SEC.

This is a potential good move for A&M. But they will need to be competetive. If they aren't the natives might turn on this decision in a few years and regret it. Heads would roll. I'm sure the horns would love to see A&M fall on their face as a result of this move.


These are my hopes/concerns. If our staff doesn't work out, we will probably get the coaching that we need in the SEC. That's the upside.

I agree with you, but track and women's basketball our the big standouts. We need football/basketball/baseball to continue to improve.

I love all of the SEC Mizzou haters! Awesome! Because it will be like dancing on a grave if Mizzou is invited into the SEC and spanks about 80 percent of the SEC competition. I and most Mizzou fans would KILL for the opportunity to spank SEC teams.

Sure, the SEC is tough. But Mizzou isn't a walkover team. And what's extremely funny is that the SEC truly believes that A&M has a better football program when in reality they've been a bottom feeder. Don't look at the past. Look at recent Big 12 history.

I know...I know...the SEC wants the Texas recruits and the 12th Man, but still, A&M will just continue to suck like they have for the past 10 years.

Mizzou borders Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas and has a respectable TV market. Not to mention that we've won over 40 games in the past 4 years and only missed the national championship game due to a Big 12 Championship loss to Oklahoma.

And you SEC'ers think Mizzou would be a crappy addition? Really? Kentucky football? Really? Vanderbilt football? Really? Arkansas was embarrassed by Mizzou recently in a bowl game. Mississippi schools would be spanked. Tennessee would be spanked (Yes, Tennessee...you heard right. I compare Tennessee on a good day to maybe Texas Tech). The rest of the power schools would be tough, but give us a few years and we'd give them a run for their money too.

Don't dismiss Mizzou so easily. You're laughable in your quest for A&M considering their performance for the past 10 years in the Big 12.

Laughable.

I'm laughing more at all the Big12 teams wanting to join the SEC after decades of calling us inbred rednecks and the bottom of society.

Welcome home?

I think yall will be middle of the pack and could potentially do better, imo. Yall will be able to sell playing in the SEC to Texas kids now, if your AD is smart, will quit playing Texas and get out completely from their shadow. This move, could take the Aggies to a place they've never been eventually.


Well said, and I agree completely. TAMU now has something to sell that Texas doesn't: playing against the best in CFB.

Sell that hard Aggies.

I guess it boils down to this:

Brah, i ve got no problem with Mizzou to the SEC. In fact , I would like to get a little payback. In the Libertyy Bowl in Memphis in December 1978 you all put a pretty good whipping on my Bengal Tigers. I believe you all won 21-14 but really wasnt that close as we could not stop (Wilder and Gantz) I believe that was your tandem backs at that time. Anyway, I apparently may be in the minority but I believe we could get some great games out of MiZzou. Welcome aboard to the SEC if it happens.

You'll have to fight Auburn over the cows and sheep.

They're the #1 cow college in the SEC...

They hate Kentucky and want nothing to do with another Kentucky diluting their football pool let alone their other sports (baseball, etc.)


Pretty hilarious that they don't realize that every single SEC team except Vandy is MUCH better than they are.
