Sorry if this has already been posted; I haven't been following this board. What are the chances that Texas will join the SEC? My husband is a Longhorn.... It's bad enough I didn't marry a guy from LSU, but I certainly never thought I'd be the wife of a conference rival. Please post any info you have. Hopefully, somehow, divorce can be avoided. Thanks.

I think the only way the SEC gets UT is if OU and A&M join the conference.

he's pulling your chain. Nobody knows what is gonna happen but what Texas wanted is for all the big 12 south teams to follow them to the pac 10 but it looks like A&M is really having a tough time deciding if they wanna split with Texas and join the SEC or still be dominated by UT in the pac 10. I don't see OU going anywhere without Texas. Texas is threatening A&M that if A&M goes off on their own UT will never schedule them again

This is exactly why I would say whoop-de-frickin'-do and walk on on Texas.

You won't schedule me? Oooooooh... I'm so scared... A&M shouldn't need Texas to justify its existence.

F-ing Nebraska; I've been up in arms all morning. Big 12 should just pull in another texas team (TCU imo) and call it a day.

exactly but over here in Texas its sorta like a power struggle between older fans and younger fans. Older A&M fans don't want to break rivalries but the younger generation doesn't want to be UT's little brother anymore

You obviously don't understand the aggie mind. Without their hatred of Texas they have nothing. It's even enshrined in the first line of their fight song. "Goodbye to Texas University..." or some shite like that.

Well the ags have a chance to say goodbye...how much do you want to bet they never will?

UT will not be joining the SEC...too many big dogs in the SEC for Texas...

they are used to calling the shots and owning the field..in the SEC, they will be among true equals...

UT has no balls

This is pretty much all speculation going on right now but my email ahelmer7@live.com
UT doesn't want to join the SEC if they don't have to.

That would make for a nice future Big 10/SEC bowl game.

Thanks guys. If we hear anything big will y'all follow up on this thread? I don't check TD very often, but I will receive an email if someone replies to this thread.

Happy Friday to all!

OU is the key to this whole thing. I might start a separate thread about this, based on information I received last night.

More likely A&M than Texas. Looks like A&M might be willing to part from the other Texas schools -- LINK
