to the SEC. Screw Texas, they can't deal with being one of the Boys in the SEC. Texas ain't **** outside of the state of Texas.
Geographically and Otherwise,Oklahoma, and TxAM should embrace the SEC.Good fit to me.
Other teams to offset, Fla St., Virginia Tech. ....Miami Sucks, and I never understood the fascination some have with Clemson.
Oh well, we'll probably see over the next week.

The problem seems to be that Texas wants Texas A&M to act in Texas's best interest as well. If when the dust settles A&M is in the SEC, I think this whole process will have been a net negative for the other Texas schools.
in terms of football programs and in terms of TV audience. OU and VT would basically negate anything the Pac-10 or Big 10 could do, prestige-wise.
yes Texas would be an attractive addition...but they don't have say, the Notra Dame stigma, (and the Catholic influence).
Just let them go independent, like I saw one guy post earlier. In this environment it would about be sports suicide.

"aint **** out side of Texas" to "they aren't Notre Dame...you know Catholics and all". So you went from aint **** to well they arent the MOST powerful program...maybe second or sumpin.
Yeah, the orangebloods guys have been over a lot of potential scenarios for a few weeks now.
(Not the aTm to SEC scenario, that's only been reported recently).
I occasionally listen to their radio shows in the afternoon. Geoff Ketchum is a texas homer.
Chip Brown is a solid reporter who has seemed more interested in accurate info than homerism.
The consensus was either keeping the big 12 together in some form, or a few schools going Pac 10.
Utexas expects the rest of the south to go lock-step with them, and it seems appropriate that
aTm would try to buck that trend. I'm pretty sure the Oklahoma president said just yesterday
that they were in agreement with Texas. Obviously texas tech and okie state are happy to
ride coattails wherever they can.
