A&M is big enough and rich enough that quite frankly, tu is kinda irrelevant outside of the recruiting competition that they are. And OPs story is spot on about how many of them are.

My understanding is that any application from a program to join the SEC that is from a state with a current SEC member, that SEC member can exercise a veto.

Texas has to worry that not only are we in the SEC but the SEC West the strongest Division in NCAA

To complicate matters further for the sippies we got Jimbo.

My word; we still have discussions about this and F***, I'm responding at 3:45 AM?

TU athletics is as relevant as the University of Southern California athletics are; both athletic programs are declining from top to bottom and as to football, both schools are living in the past, primarily because of their arrogance. The problem with tu is they are the BIG gorilla in the jungle (BDF) and frankly, outside of that jungle, nobody.......cares? TAMU made a move that caused tu to whizz in its underwear, and now they don't know what to do except sit there and basically watch. While we haven't necessarily set the world on fire completely, we are making moves and drawing more positive attention to ourselves as we are trending upward. Texas, on the other hand, is drawing attention to itself because it isn't accomplishing anything.

And so, they get to watch.

They're smart enough to know that the SEC is the ticket to success as long as A&M is there. It has been a huge fear of mine from day 1 that they will some day weasel their way in via politics/money

We need to build as much momentum as possible

---

A&M and Arkansas will never vote to allow tu in. I have serious doubts that Alabama would be on board with it either.

Bottom line - it won't happen. Ever.

---

Agree. No need for any "momentum".

tu will never receive enough votes to enter the SEC.

---

If I offered you enough money you would vote exactly like I asked

---

I can see where this would apply to you because you wrote it. But it wouldn't apply to me and hasn't in my lifetime.

It would indeed have to be a hell of a lot of money for each team for multiple SEC teams to vote for tu. (And I am not counting media contracts you apparently think would increase because the SEC already has the 29 million + people within the state of Texas in their numbers).

So, once again, IMO, tu will never receive enough votes to enter the SEC.

---

Everyone has a price whether they admit it or not. I'm pretty sure the deep pockets of sip have more than enough to get votes

But go ahead and act as if their money couldnt buy someone who doesnt hate them like we do

---

Other schools in the SEC may not hate Texas the way many Aggies do, but they have seen how Texas operates toward us and other current Big? members. Can't see many if any would support allowing that cancer to join the SEC.

---

You do realize how much money each year t.u would make the conference if they joined? Chances are if thru joined it would be them and another program to keep the numbers even. I would guess t.u/OU

---

Seriously, just how much money would texas bring to any conference to justify a 60 million share to texas? Hard dollars. 500 million a year? 1 billion a year?

Gator Bait

Agree with you on this. Do they bring more to the table than they will eat? I don't think the SEC would get $125M annually in new money from Texas and OU joining the SEC.

Sorry, Horns, say Howdy to our old friends in Ames and I hope the children are OK.

Gotta ask this question:

So what if OU and TU join the SEC? Those two are very established, name programs. Do you really think St, Ole Miss, Arky, Vandy, Carolina, Mizzou , etc really want another obstacle , another bump in the road for them to climb over? While those guys pull the upset every once in awhile, their chances of being competitive just got harder. H

TU won't be joining the SEC. The conference will only expand by adding schools from new states that aren't already represented, such as North Carolina and Virginia. Those two states have been on the conference's drawing board for many years.

This thread is proof of Texags-sanctioned trolling. I guess any traffic is good traffic for offseason?

127 low IQ individuals starred the original post. Wow.

TU Joining the SEC? I thought Tulane left the SEC in the 1960's with Georgia Tech.

lol wut?

One think is constant about texags...sippy threads will always get the most mileage.

Always have, always will

(Same over there but about us)

OP sounds like a f-ing 5 year old. If this was real sounds like something that happened at a daycare.

More important question, why dilute a school's conference share for minimal revenue increases to the conference as a whole?

500 million increase to the conference only yields 12.5 million to 17 entities. texas and OU won't move the bar 10 digits....

The low iq folks are irritating. The low T folks are just embarrassing. (Reference the Garrett threads).

Tu fans are more interested in dallas cowboys or whoever is winning. Ou doesn't have the television sets. A&M is constant and growing And most A&M fans put their team over any pro team. It's what is the opposite of most tu 'fans'

Your love affair for all things Austin is clouding your judgment.

I'm not sure more than three people here, really believed the OP story.

The whorns in my wife's family generally stay quiet these days. I did overhear a conversation about wanting the Ags back into to the BDF. I'm thinking to myself, are they that delusional to believe we'd come back? WTF is that?

LSU fan here happy that LSU has beat sips for SEC/you.

Can't stand those arrogant priks. Have given my opinion to our AD that we don't schedule them again, in any sport, as their arrogance causes problems watching the games due to their TV crap.

Glad Tamu walked out on them and left them stranded in a dying league.

Did I mention that I don't like those chits?

Some of the most prolific CFB teams are from the west coast... whorns are delusional about more than just their own program I guess. How many west coast schools have played in the CFP? Two? Twice total? None less than four years ago?

USC is a shell of what it once was, Washington had one good season, and Oregon is the only legitimate year in and year out contender and even they struggle to win their own conference most years.

"Some of the most prolific CFB teams are from the west coast."

I know three guys that are diehard Longhorn fans. They fly out there to some of the games. They are terribly upset at you guys even to the point they hate anything Aggie.

Walked down the hall at their business the other day and heard one of them hollering, chewing someone out and cursing them. I slowly started peeking around the door and he was throwing things across his office. His back was to me and he was cursing at the computer screen hollering, "Big s**t!! Big Aggie s**t!!" I waited a minute and eased in asking what was wrong. He said "Aggie this, Aggie that!!! SEC this, SEC that!!! They were a nobody until they joined the SEC and now they're getting all the media attention."

Ha!! Really funny. Heard them at lunch talking to each other saying they had to get in the SEC, too. I laughed at them saying us Vols don't want their cancer and besides A&M will see to it you'll never get in. Ha! They started calling me names and cussing the SEC and the Aggies. They were mad, mad but i got under their skin. Don't think that your recent upturn in facilities and media attention isn't being noticed with jealousy and scorn.

If you've ever seen Big Fan with Patton Oswalt, this reminded me of the scene where he's calling into the sports talk radio after writing his rant for the entire day.

t.u. won't be getting into the SEC for a variety of reasons. First, they don't fit the SEC model of large university in a small college town (Austin is a major US city). Two, Arkansas, A&M, Missouri, and LSU will ALL vote no. Three, expansion will occur in two states and TV markets that won't include Texas.

I'll be honest: I enjoy reminding people at my own school of their own history when Texas Aggies discuss letting our guard down and letting Texas back into our now pristine headspace.

But it does remind me of this passage...

43 "When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. 44 Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation."

Matthew 12:43-45 ESV

(BTW, I had to look up in google who the hell the longhorn president even was. And Google returned Todd Burrowes, president of Longhorn Steakhouse. How far the "mighty" have fallen.)

No one ever mentions or explains what becomes of tech, the Baptist's and tcu when tu magically leaves the b12 for where ever or OSU when ou says see ya!
