SEC is now weaker

It's not like we added a perrenial powerhouse. A&M will now just be LSUs bitch, instead of UT

Say what you want, but they have actually done pretty well against the SEC. They also dismantled OU in recent years. They are solid.

Does this group only have a ten year memory? A&M was the top dog in the SWC through the mid 90s. Slocum started to slip in the early 00s because they refused to modernize their facilities, but they've done some big things since then and just announced some huge new additions that will attract alot of talent. I think they will compete pretty quickly and be a contender within five years. They can definitely beat teams like Ole Miss, MSU and AU right off the bat and at least four of the six East teams. They will struggle against the top five for a couple of years, but they will not be cellar dwellers. An does anyone remember how they owned us in the mid 90s? And yes their other programs are all contenders for national titles right now. They've got Pat Henry who will continue to win national titles, and they just won titles in golf and women's bball. I believe they just won the all sports trophy for the Big 12 for 2 straight years.

Ask Georgia how they feel about playing WVU in the Sugar Bowl that was held in Atlanta in 06. Or if LSU is glad Pitt beat them or we'd have to give back our crystal ball from 07.....

WVU is a good program and would be a good addition to the SEC.

The only professional sports distraction they have is Pittsburg. They are a lot like LSU demographically.

Um you don't want the conference with nothing but powerhouses. What do you want more losses and injuries?? Get more chances to get knocked out of the National Championship pic. Why do you think OU is considering the Pac 12 over the SEC. Easier big name opponents.

Right now we are the premier, flagship conference in the nation. Don't fix what isn't broken, and that's what we did. It's not so much TAMU that makes us weaker, but now we have a 14th, WVU is not cut out for SEC football. Yall want to bring up WVU recent success but TAMU success from the 90s. We need to go after FSU.

So you want to talk about bringing in a stronger team than A&M or WVU...but then mention FSU??? This is the first year this decade they're actually not horrible

This is like finding out your elite fraternity has voted to send a bid to a short, fat, ugly kid with bad breath and a 1.5 GPA.

FSU and WVU have little to offer our conference. Look at the numbers. They are both small market teams with weak academics. Furthermore, Florida is not the only loser when it comes to sharing premium recruits. Tallahassee is located in the heart of SEC country, and I can guarantee they would use that new membership to their advantage.
