re: Pretty Good Pics of Campus brought to you by the SEC

I don't understand the view of some fans/media members....basically, their idea is that unless you dominate your current conference, you shouldn't be allowed to leave. The theory goes, that since Nebraska/CU/A&M/Mizzou can't win consistently in the Big 12, they are stupid for leaving, and other conferences are stupid for wanting them.
Huh?
The other puzzling part of this mindset believes that the SEC is made up 100% of Bama/LSU/UF caliber programs, and any new member who is not currently this caliber has no business joining.
Did they forget about MSU, Ole Miss, UK, Vandy? And sometimes UT, USC, Arkansas? Hell, even AU and UF are pretty average this year.
A&M and Mizzou will both settle into the middle-upper middle of the pack in the SEC, and both were middle of the pack in the Big 12. So what?
Both are also capable of leveraging the fact that they are in the best conference in America into more success than they've experienced in the Big 12. The only way to find out is to play the games on the field and see what happens.

I don't see why SOME fans want a TOUGH team to join. Hell LSU already have a tough schedule compared to rinky dinks like Oklahoma State(ranked high and nobody even talks about them), Stanford, Boise State, etc. Those guys have an easy route to the National Title compared to LSU. Yeah lets add tougher competition to an already hard schedule.

Nah, we know we suck, you all think you are good. That's why everyone is pissy.

The "average teams" in the SEC are still better than the great teams in other conferences

Don't worry about them, just know that one day you will play in a SEC championship game in Atlanta and will play some Sugar Bowls.
LSU had down seasons too, every program does. This move wasn't made for this year or next, but the next few decades.
Winning the SEC is so important, Tulane still flies their 1934 SEC championship banner in the Dome.
