Apparently from the video footage up here last week, so is the aggy baseball team
Aggy got manhandled and out-toughed.

Lol, try it and you'll learn the same lesson that GA Tech learned when they were king shite a few decades ago. You have one bad season and you'll fade into nothingness. A conference gives you staying power and marketability in years when you aren't marketable.


Notre Dame says hi.

I don't disagree with your main point but there are definitely some brands that could pull off independence. Others not so much.

That said and for reasons you stated, a solid conference with as many big name brands and commitment to sports, as the SEC has, make the most sense for all.
Poooor aggy

Great series Rebs! That top of the 9th on Friday was epic. Y’all are going to do some damage in the SEC this year.

Basketball is a major sport you suck at.

No argument here. Always been a football and baseball school first. But it is a little crazy how our basketball program hasn't been able to find a gear. For like 15-20 years now.

That said aggy who we beat this year is probably the last school here that should be throwing any stones re basketball.
Chicken Littles never like change.
Thanks for posting. I thought Texas would go to LSU this year since they came to Austin last year. Anyone know what the scheduling plan is year to year?

RIP Coach. Thanks for doing things the right way. God bless you and your family.
I think the SEC had to pay the Big 12 some buyouts for TX-OU to leave 2 years before contract expired.

What's "basketball"?...
None other than making the Big 10 happy since they have a 9 game schedule

It’s a cool city, but imo not what it used to be.

Was such a cool town when I was there in early 90s. That’s about when Austin was ranked in one of those “best places to live” lists. The downward spiral began. Culture seems more like California now than Texas. The surrounding areas are still Texas but it’s sad that the city itself has become such a liberal crap hole. I’ve already told my daughter that if she wants to go to UT she’ll have to get a scholarship because I’m not paying for her to marinate in that crap for 4 years.

All that said I hope the football and baseball teams win all the games…

Ran into Earl Campbell a couple of times years ago when I lived in Victoria. Heck of a nice guy and would talk your ear off. He was actually grocery shopping both times.

Yeah I bumped into him another time at a gas station near downtown Austin. Was super friendly.
Still trying to figure out who's going to block for our new skill players. Portal fail by Sark IMO.

That man is a man’s man.

He’s an awesome guy as well. Met him that same year when I was a bouncer/bartender on Sixth St. He came in to our bar (Maggie Mae’s) when he was starting his sausage business. Super approachable and gave a ton to the homeless community in Austin.

Jack Lambert said he was the most punishing RB he ever faced.

I think half the kids playing today would wet their pants if they had to go against him.
