the f'n sips.

I just didn't think it could get that much worse.


I haven't had a drink since '98.


But right now I'm real tempted to go out and buy a cold one


And get a nice seat to relax in while I watch the end of the world.

Meh, it is what it is. Conference expansion was always going to continue. I wish Texas was going to the PAC12 or BIG, but we can handle them. We've got jimbo.

The sips and OU want to come to the SEC. Never happening. Half the schools would vote against it.

Wont happen, SEC is killing it with our market share. They know the sips are toxic.

SEC does not want them

Sips are toxic and the longhorn network is an anchor around their neck.

SEC has said this multiple times.

The sips bring them nothing that they want.

Maybe it doesn't end up happening, but I think you guys are underestimating how much more the rest of the conference likes money more than they hate Texas

The only good thing I can see about this is that it would be awesome to see the sips faces when they get turned down by the SEC. Specially if A&M gets to cast the deciding vote.

Texas by itself destroyed the SWC and turned the BigXII into the dumpster fire it currently is.

Texas' stupid ass demands is what torpedoed conference realignments years ago. Most of the people in control of this process were around to see it back then.

The SEC does not need another texas school.

If you think BOYLOL put up a fight to keep us from leaving watch what happens when Texas tries to leave.

I hope you're right, but I think the arrogance of the sec will lead the conference to believe they are too big for Texas to pull that *****

Conference realignment is a game of musical chairs. Texas and OU are the biggest pieces that are looking for a conference. The SEC assures the continued dominance and the title for most desirable TV deal by adding them.

I don't want it to happen either, but this is about money. I will definitely not be shocked if it happens.

Wouldn't it be funny if they took OU and someone else, but not Texas?

What I do not understand is why t.u. would want to expose themselves to a schedule that we face since they have only OU and TCU to worry about.along with Iowa State every now and then.

Tech to the Pac 78 makes more sense than tu and/or 0u in SEC.

I'm guess the two schools had some informal talks and indication the SEC would be ok with it.


I'm an surprised because I thought the Okie legislature wouldn't let OU leave OSU out to dry.

This is just posturing to get a better deal in their current conference. No one truly believes they have a chance.

64 teams in 4 conferences, the Rice's of the world lose again, but choice was ours. Money talks loudest.
4 conference championships, one semi final, one championship game. Lots more of eyes than 64 bowl games.
And really, if guys are going to get paid, it's way it ought to be.
Only thing I would like to see , would be that you had to play all your games within that 64- no mullet games with the guise of "helping" smaller program by letting them come take their shellacking in a body bag game. Put up or shut up.

Ideally the two do formally petition for membership, and the SEC unanimously rejects them.

Sounds like it is happening. Even Looch thinks so now.

Yep. They got screwed by their tv deals this latest go-around and want the media companies to scrap them.

They wouldn't ask to be admitted if it wasn't likely. It will be terrible for us if tu gets in.

SEC won't permit this, no way. Not a chance.

Although I'm terrified of just one thing.....

Where did you see this? I have only seen him say it's possible but that he doesn't think it will happen.

From what's been reported, I don't think they have formally asked. They are still in discussions. I do agree though that if they formally submit a request to the league for admission, then that means they know they probably are in.

Geez. I'm prob done with CFB if we let this happen. Destroys any competitive advantage we had over these teams. How could we not get Arky and two others to vote "no"? F Sankey the Yankee.

True, but if you've followed Looch through the years, this is pretty much the nail in the coffin. This is how he tells it without actually saying it.

It would pretty much be the end of A&M Athletics having any advantage.

Plus, we'd get to play against sip refs every year.

And within 5 years, Texas would either be running the SEC, or will have burned it down trying to take over.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
