One Aggie's opinion of a potential move to the SEC:

One of the most compelling reasons many Aggies desire a move to the SEC: night Games in Death Valley. I was a student at A&M from 1992-1996 (ish), the last four football seasons of the LSU/A&M series (’92-’95 seasons) and this was the most anticipated game on our schedule for myself and many of my buddies. Road trips to Baton Rouge were epic, and LSU fans coming to Kyle Field was always a damn good time (although some parts in the wee hours of the morning are a little foggy, you boys can drink a little…).
Generally speaking, most of us are smart enough to realize that a move to the SEC is a sink or swim proposition, the quality of the competition goes up several notches in your league, but the idea of playing games like the LSU games that I remember so fondly from my days in College Station on a weekly basis against the other SEC teams is a die-hard college football fans dream come true.
Hopefully our BOR can get this deal done, our program can continue the improvement under third year coach Sherman that many of us are cautiously optimistic is coming, and we can have many years of incredibly entertaining football in our future with y’all.
On a side note, I know some ‘Bama fans have a disdain for us about the whole coach fraud deal; all I will say about that is that he punished us worse than anyone in the history of our program. Hopefully Tidefans can find solace in that fact should we make the transition to your league.
Gig ‘Em!

I would love playing A&M every year again

If it happens... welcome to the SEC. I think LSU/A&M rivalry will quickly overcome the made up rivalry between LSU and ARk.

I've got no anger whatsoever over the Coach Fran deal...and never had any toward A&M in the matter anyway.
I'm all for A&M coming to the SEC, and have been posting some words of encouragement on Texags.com
Hope you guys make the best move you could possibly make, and stiffarm Texas on your way East!

It seems like there is a lot of support for A&M to the SEC from both sides (at least from what I read on here). The only thing that seems to go agaisnt it is all the talk of Texas and the Texas state legislature.

I never felt any disdain towards A&M directly because of Franchione. I did root against ya'll while he was there (except for that game against UT in the Cotton Bowl....I rooted for a tornado). I never rooted against ya'll before, and I haven't since.
Of course I did enjoy this immensely....

I think all LSU and SEC fans want TAMU. I could care less about UT, but I WANT TAMU. They just "fit."

On a side note, if you do come into the league, I can't wait to make fun of you weirdos.

it was my misfortune to make the '89 road trip to College Station. if i recall, part of the stadium was getting expanded then. i think the stadium has been expanded since as well?
anyway, most ag fans we met were great...some of the traditions are a little hokey but what the hey?
wouldn't mind a bit going back a bit.

SEC might get A & M and, possibly, Clemson, Florida State, Va Tech or Miami. Interesting.
I would definitely like to have A & M and Florida State in the conference.

Bring the Ags and leave Texas!

Add Mizzou and Texas A&M to the West. N.C. State and Virginia Tech to the East. HELLOOOOO television revenues.
Posted on 6/11/10 at 3:20 pm to SaltyAg
I really want the Aggies and JUST the Aggies, but we're probably going to need someone to add to the East... I just don't know who I'd invite

I attended LSU in the early 70's and fondly remember the games with A&M. The Aggies never failed to put on a show when they came to town and I would love to see the rivalry renewed.
Any A&M fans visiting this board should ignore most of the comments by the Gumps. If your school joins the SEC, they will actually make you feel right at home in that they are much like their UT counterparts - always full of hot air and whine like little bitches when they lose.

Love the Aggie games too. Most memorable in the early 80's as your band marched out of Tiger Stadium, LSU fans would stand on the ramps and clap as they went by. Pretty impressive. I hope you guys come - leave the Horns to their own.

I think the rest of the conference wishes Fran was still at Bama moreso than Bama fans.

Screw Texas, join the SEC. Your program will eventually surpass UTx.

I'm with you, brotha.
This is the moment of glory for aTm, hope your leadership won't let it slip away.
The Ags would be a great fit in the SEC, where there are already 3 ag-influenced schools (LSU, MSU, & Aub) with more needed.
