RollLeft

So...see you tomorrow on the 9.95 thread?

Dear Farmer, Please clarify your stance. Are you or are you not big brother? If you are how is it that when you left it impacted no one yet when Texas leaves it somehow will impact the entire state/world? Which is it? It can't be both. Lastly, we the legislature have already set the precedent. We let one state university go to the SEC and it would only be fair to do the same for Texas. We would be hypocrites and have no legal basis to try and negate The Flagship of the very freedoms afforded to you. Greg Abbott | Governor of the State of Texas | Hook'Em Bitch!

This page and the page after are nice gathering of this mfer's posts for those who want to go FATWA on his ass.

fife

why?

Nothing is off the table.

They did a good job.

Which one of you magnificent bastards....

No need to fight it anymore. True or not we will now get to use it to our advantage.

jExactly! Like you say we might as well benefit from being unable to fix stupid. The perception is too far gone. Joining is the smart thing to do.

Wow.

why do i doubt?

Is "Texas ring 1996" referencing class rings? Hahahahahaha. I honestly had no clue what his logic even was there!

987 hearts, LOL!!!

fify

but do you also have cheeseburgers!

I'd bet you have one more tooth than strand of hair.

Quick! Someone make sure we publicly state we don't intend to leave the SEC.

You're damn right it won't be the same. We go from having to be one of the smartest guys in the room, including the B12 office, to being able to count on a conference with some capacity and pull to be able to make decisions. That said your point is two sided. Its not just us who have to realize how things will no longer be the same. its naïve to think that things will be same for you. Change brings change, for everyone. Cool story, i guess? That some of you feel the need to preface or express these types of sentiments on a message board, Surly no less, is humorous to me. I suppose dealing with those rubes over in collie set that expectation. No one is saying WE / Texas will move anything much less want to move anything. That said the center will move, not because Texas wills it or seeks "power" or "control" but because things as we know it are changing, drastically. Both parties have done well for themselves and yet at this juncture both parties STILL see it in their mutual interest to join forces. This provides each side with new leverage. Also to possibly change the rules of the game. There is no need to worry. As someone else stated Texas can read a room. Furthermore, anyone who has held it knows, power and the smartest guys in the room will gravitate to each other naturally. Those who think the SEC of old will be the same are in for a ride, but again not because Texas will try and "flex" but because the size of change, NIL/superconference/tv contracts, is new and bigger than ever before and the resources and talents are at the disposal to the conference to navigate that shit. Who that is and who respects who and who entrusts who with power and control is known in the room. Its usually those fighting for it in public that don't have it. Jfc, i leave this place for an hour and return to a bunch of buzz kill posts. Quick someone post the spanish guy again. What an opportunity Texas has before it. I'm licking my chops at the possibilities! Bring it.
