According to this.. its LSU by a landslide LOL. I knew they hated us. Especially since the Bourque debacle. TexAgs was so fun to read went that was going on.

In general there is a lot more dislike for LSU than Arkansas, and we've been playing Arkansas the last couple years. Hate for LSU will probably only get more intense once we start playing them regularly.

This is true. They just don't admit A&M is but they are.

It will...believe it! ...but we love 'em.

Seems most of the LSU hate on TexAgs is more specifically on the Recruiting Board. So yeah, I'm sure it will heat up once we start playing head to head and potentially ruining each others' seasons.

Absolutely. Aside from the CB last year, what else would the younger Aggies have to base LSU hate on, except shite passed on from their parents? I personally don't really hate LSU yet except when y'all nab an East Texas/Louisiana recruit from us. The recruiting wars between LSU and A&M should become VERY intense.

LSU, big time. LSU and A&M have a storied rivalry that goes back over the years. The two schools have many similarities and LSU has a large alumni base in the Houston area as well as Dallas.

LSU will learn to hate the Aggies if Texas A&M definitely joins the SEC. Mainly because they're gonna get more than they bargained for. I may be wrong but I get the idea that a lot of LSU fans are thinking it will be an almost guaranteed win and I don't see it turning out that way. It will make A&M much stronger. I have no doubt.

I just don't think A&M will ever get to the "elite" level in the west division like the LSU's and Bama's. Texas and OU are still going to get most of the major recruits in Texas. I see A&M being on par with the skill level of a South Carolina where they will have some talent just not enough depth to sustain a winning program.

I learned to hate aTm as a kid and when I was at LSU. The two schools have played 50 times with LSU holding the advantage of 27-20-3. The first game between the two was in 1899 and the last was the 2011 Cotton Bowl.

Absolutely not. Well, I can't speak for the rest of Tiger fans, but this is definitely adding another hard game to a relentless schedule year in and year out. I don't see how anyone can see them as a cake walk. It might start out slow, but I think once they get that 1st BIG SEC win, it will pick up dramatically.

They will be closer to what Arkansas is right now, if they continue with a good staff. Don't underestimate them. Their recruiting will be a whole lot better than it is now. I have no doubt. The west will be unreal.

This is true.

Once A&M joins the SEC I think the OOC scheduling will become less exciting. I don't think we'd have to worry to much about playing Oregon and West Virginia as LSU's ooc teams.
Posted on 8/30/11 at 2:05 am to Porky
One thing I think will happen early on will be that the excitement from the fan base will give us a major homefield advantage. I know SEC fans have been divided on how tough Kyle Field is, but I expect every SEC game the first two years or so to be similar to a home game against the whorns in terms of the atmosphere. The intensity from the fan base surrounding this whole thing has been ridiculous, and I think it will show in our home SEC games early on.
So while we may struggle with some 5-6 win seasons early on, I could also see us pulling some upsets at home as well.

It's just going to make A&M a lot stronger. Arkansas and LSU both will both improve as well. It might be harder to get some better ooc teams to schedule games with us but one thing for sure...the west division will be a sumbich.
Posted on 8/30/11 at 2:08 am to Porky
If we have our way, our OOC won't be vanilla. We'll have the West every year plus Texas. And possibly a resurgent FSU as our cross division. It will be an absolute gauntlet.

I think you're selling yourselves a little short there. I think you could get about 8 wins. If you get a big upset it would really put yall on the map. I think it will benefit yall in recruiting a lot more than some LSU fans are willing to admit.

It's gonna be like playing against Texas almost every week. Y'all will get a lot better but the SEC competition will be insane. Texas won't want to play y'all ooc on a regular basis. Mark my word.
Posted on 8/30/11 at 2:15 am to Porky
They already don't want to play us OOC and we haven't even officially left yet.
As far as wins, our first year could be tough. We will be replacing a lot of talent from this year's team. This year's team could definitely compete for 9 or so wins this year in the SEC. Our 2012 class is looking great, but there will definitely be an adjustment period.
