the one school that I never want to see in our conference is West Virginia. West VA fans as a group are really just terrible people.

Seriously. It's now time for you to shut the #%!# up. You are an ignorant jackass who doesn't understand what's happening and why. Get your blankie and go stand in the corner sobbing quietly while the adults talk.

Missouri would be too. But please no WVU. Holy crap, they do not fit with our conference AT ALL!

- Geographically contingent
- Gets NC State out of the shadow of UNC and Duke (esp in basketball)
- Ag/Engineering School like MSU
- Raleigh is a cool town and fairly easy to get to
- In every way better than the Coal Miners from Appalachia

I am hoping we don't take WV. Why would we? We'd only be adding only 10 tv's in the entire state. Burning couches and outhouses....

Whywould Missouri be a better fit over WVU. As of right nowI don't have a preference either way. Just want to knowwhy you think that.

and they seem like good folks. Now, I know that's a small sample size but I would be able to tell if they were dicks like Ole Miss people. More importantly to the SEC though, they bring in the St. Louis and Kansas City TV markets and the would fit in geographically with our new look. Personally, I would rather go east if we are going to only go to 14 though, but NOT WVU!

I sincerely hope that's just a bad rumor.

Most of the other people I know from there are pretty level headed. Columbia is more like Berkeley than Morgantown, but I'd take clean sidewalks and organic food stands over death metal 6 days a week and twice on Sunday.

First of all, A&M isn't preppy. Talking about A&M frat boys like A&M is renowned for its Greek system is 17ing stupid.

The SEC has made it clear that they aren't going to take a school from a state in which a SEC school already resides. A&M happens to lie in Texas, has tradition, is accredited by the AAU, is one of the leading research universities in the country, has one of the best overall athletic departments in the country, an etc. If the SEC is going to expand, it would be idiotic to not take A&M. I don't consider Texas to be southern, culturally speaking, but A&M will fit in the SEC every bit as well as Arkansas does. Arkansas is basically a midwestern college (people from Northwest Arkansas aren't Southerners).

The only thing you have proven with your anti-A&M ******** is that you are too stupid to 17ing breathe. Everyone else seems to agree with me on this.

With all of this said, I will pray every night that we don't take WVU. However, a West Virginia/Ole Miss football game would be 17ing epic. I would pay good money to watch Jesco White whip Shepard Smith's *** after Shep offered Jesco Xanax in exchange for a night of sexual pleasure with a West Virginia mountain man. Shep would end up cooking Jesco some sloppy eggs for breakfast.

I didn't realize I was amongst so many TAMU fans. Everyone rips WVU a new ******* butttttt it's not ok to say anything bad about precious TAMU. I'm a Mississippi State fan only. I'm not positive I can say that about you though.
