There's no need to worry about whether A&M will stick out like a sore thumb. We're not coming to the SEC.....EVER. We're stuck with this shitty conference full of steer cockgobblers and chumpchange TV money.

Reality setting in.

the reality in this thread is the Piggie fans are very, very afraid of the prosect of A&M joining the SEC.

way to put it. you frickers are straight up weird-o's. Cultish in the largest sense of the word.

Seriously, they are strange/twisted frickwads

Charles, obviously, chiming in from the LSU English Department

buildings painted a weird prison reformatory school brown

The SEC really does not need another engineering school. SO besides that, A&M is really different than most of the schools in the SEC.

Hawg, you've obviously never been to our campus. The buildings aren't painted. Just beige brick. And there's a lot of new buildings in the last 5 years that are mostly glass

I think y'all are weird and am not excited about A&M joining. Just doesn't have an "SEC" feel to me.

I thought the SEC was a football conference, and it's looking--from the posters here--like an architecture and sociology conference.



I think we'll field some decent teams and have some fun, even if you don't agree with our building codes or the hem of our women's sun dresses.

so all the SEC peps are like whatever and the Aggies have a crush on our league. too bad

Hardly, I welcome A&M.

as far as afraid?
You will see how afraid we are this fall

Are you really that dense? What happens in one or 2 games is not relevant. Arky fans seem apoplexy about A&M joining the SEC, which tells me that fear the Aggies joining, maybe because they know A&M could do even better than the Piggies in the SEC.

But I don't see y'all as a good cultural fit

I really don't get this view of so many SEC fans. A&M is a large, passionate fanbase, crazy about football thats in the south. So they have some silly cheers and chants. Its not that big of a deal. On game day the atmosphere is great, unlike say UT, which has more of a Pac 10, laid back fanbase. Culturally, UT and UNC do not fit really, A&M, FSU, Clemson, do. But we already have teams in SC and Fla, so the aggies bring a lot more.

If we were desperate and HAD to add a team, then A&M would be a good consideration. But I don't know why the SEC needs to force the issue

---

The point is they don't want to get desperate and wind up scrambling to add teams that don't bring as much to the table. If the Pac 16 idea had gone thru, the only options to expand into Texas would be teams like UH or Rice, who do not bring nearly the fan base as A&M and hence not near the revenue.

I've read if the SEC expands into new markets (ie states with out current SEC teams), they can redo the TV deals and get a lot more. given the new deal the Pac 12 got, you would think the SEC can get a lot more from CBS/ESPN. That's
