Would rather be with Mizzou than WVU.

we're. damnit.

Thank you Stacy!

Good to see you again =]

I don't think you can put commas or apostrophes in thread titles, stacy.

Horrible phrasing. This is why I do not subscribe to this guy.

What aggiesouth said,

We will take both Mizzou and WVU then need to add another east member. Please for goodness sake do not mention Maryland to the SEC those uniforms looked like a family coat of arms you mail away to get.

won't believe it until liucci says so or until there is an official announcement from Texas A&M

To 1,000,000 touchdowns ...and beyond

Please Lord not WVU. Horrible fans, horrible place to go play. I would rather sit in the student section at LSU than have WVU in the SEC.

We had a home and home with them a couple years ago. Really terrible experiences all around with their fans.

War Eagle!

Liucci is here!

So what's going on then???

Do tell.

As a Hawg Fan, I rather it be MU. Missouri has a much larger population than WV, therefor potential larger TV contract for all of use to share. Plus, I sure we can all take turns beating that @#$ of theirs.

He speaks!

I won't really believe it either, not til I hear something official. Just reporting the gossip to keep everyone in the loop.

by Brent Zwerneman - Zone Club to be site of SEC announcement
The swanky Zone Club at Kyle Field has been reserved for Wednesday and Thursday for an announcement that Texas A&M will join the Southeastern Conference, an A&M insider said Tuesday night. All signs point to a Wednesday announcement. The Aggies announced their impending exit from the Big 12 last Wednesday.

I want Missouri to come with us. I have never seen where the relationship between Mizzou and TAMU has ever been an issue, and they were good reliable conference mates in the Big 12. Hoping they get an invite and come too. Always respected the Tigers.

Why no VT?

can the fans veto? West Virginia is NOT SEC, no way, no how.

That's par for the course and why VT ended the rivalry with them. Worst. Fans. Ever.

LOOCH!!!!!!

I saw this at an Arkansas site.

Hypothetical
16 team SEC
Four divisions

LSU,Ark,aTm, Mizzou

Bama, Au, Ole Miss, Ms. St.

WVU, VA Tech or other ACC, Kentucky, Tenn

Georgia, Vandy, USCe, Florida

Each team plays it's division mates and one permanent opponent from each of the other divisions. Three rotation games (home and home, one game from each of the other three divisions. switch years staggered.

Example for aTm:
permanent games with
Ark, LSU, Mizzou, Ms. State, Va Tech, Florida

rotation game 1, Georgia, Vandy, USCe
rotation game 2, Tenn, Kentucky, WVU
rotation game 3, Bama, AU, Ole Miss

9 game conference slate
Allows for nearly all old rival games to continue(Bama/Tenn)(Tenn/Vandy)

If its FSU, slide Vandy to the KEntucky, Tenn division and add FSU with Florida, Georgia. Some division gets lucky with Vandy unfortunately.

two semigames (tv revenue gain)Atlanta, Dallas
(Ncaa would have to approve additional game.)
conference championship, New Orleans.

Why no VT? VA

WVU and Maryland are well known on the East coast for their horrible fanbases. Would just as soon not be in the same conference as them.

VT has openly said they are not interested.

Mizzou >>>>>>>>>>>> WVU

Don't want to go on the road to WVU.

getting a source for team # 14 from a B12 site, as opposed to an SEC one seems questionable. After all, the SEC is the one handing out the invites, and why I think Chip Brown is just an unlikely source for team #14. OP, what street cred does this source bring for what Slive and Co. will do?

Speaking of roads in West Virginia.....this movie is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of that state.
