Half of our classes come from out of state as it is. The magic today is much more tied to Fisher than being in the SEC.

But Fisher is, in part able to do it, because we're in the SEC.

SEC has helped but A&M has a brand now on its own. That doesn't go away. All of this hand wringing about expansion assumes a recruiting landscape from 30+ years ago when geography mattered, when recruiting classes were Texas kids plus perhaps one or two crossing the border from Louisiana. Much different world today.

Sip grad Sam Acho confirmed on Finebaum's show last night the substance of my topic here. "There are two reasons for Texas going to the SEC: 1. Money; 2. Texas A&M has passed them by in recruiting.

Bryanisbest, you were correct in 2012, and you may be correct now. We have passed the sips and the proof is in the 3 failed head Coaches in a row. May they find that the road back is harder, much harder than they think. See Nebraska for example. When we have 4 to 6 MNC in the next ten years if our leaders are correct. I have watched Aggie Games since 1963 and so that their failures as teasips are Karma writ large.

Those two bring nothing to the table. No increased TV ratings, no increased revenues, no increased fan support, and no boost to SEC recruiting. Who the hell recruits in Oklahoma anyway for most of OU's players come form Texas.

t.u. is poison and contaminates everything they touch.

This thread proves that fan boards (and that includes myself since I pretty much agreed with you) know absolutely NOTHING about college athletics in general.

I'm not insulting anyone; its just that what the priorities are of those in charge are unknown to the rest of us. And the word is not getting out. So everyone needs to quit thinking they know or have figured it out. They haven't and they probably never will.

Just saw this for the first time. Crazy.

I was one of the idiots. I still can't believe it.

Props to OP.

sip came to the desire to join the SEC out of desperation. They aren't fooling anyone and they're just beginning a multi year stint in BDF purgatory.

They will go Big10 eventually. Or possibly Pac10.




Neither the BIG or the PAC will help them. They will not be able to contend with us in recruiting if they go to either of those conferences. Going to the SEC is the only way to recruit against us in this state. No other conference will work for them.

From SurlyHorns, pull quote below is a perfect statement of UT's entitled worldview (Ags are going to be reminded shortly just how obnoxious & toxic they are as conference members, despite punching below their weight class for many years):

"There is not now, nor will there ever be, a "we" for Texas or its fans, and joining the SEC isn't going to change that. There will never be camaraderie from our end just because we're in the same conference. I hope Arkansas, Texas ATM and OU all find a way to go 0-12 every year while we laugh and point at each of you for being impotent rubes."
