TEXAS AND OU TO SEC IN MS PAINT*
I'm dead. Amazing work. Put this in the Louvre.

Burger King is hiring. Seen it all over the news lately.

Also not terribly impressed with Champaign, Iowa City, Bloomington, or West Lafayette, either. But Evanston is pretty rad...especially since you can just hop on the El and party in Chicago.

I now fully understand @SydneyCarton's salty post while ago. Just saying.

Amateur hour adventures such as exactly this should be Exhibit A for why we are leaving this dump of a conference behind.

Maybe it will play out like this: Chair: "Do we have a motion to accept Texas and Oklahoma into the SEC unanimously?" Unnamed SEC School Prez: "So moved." Chair: "Can we get a second?" Another SEC School Prez: "Seconded." Chair: "All right. All those in favor?" [almost everyone says "Aye"] Chair: "All opposed? Texas A&M, you keep your damn mouth shut."- Realignment talk not going away
My vote: Open with Arky Keep Texas-OU exactly where it is, has been, and forever shall be Play aggy on Turkey day I know, I get it...aggy is insufferable and a lot of you want to punish them for their asshattery. But dammit, Turkey day/weekend just hasn't been the same for the last 10 years. Bring 'em on.- Realignment talk not going away
That's a strange hill to die on, Pac-12 - but if you want to go the way of the Big XII, be our guest.- Realignment talk not going away
I remember it well - used TEX all four years I was at Texas to register for classes. You young'uns will never know the agony of Dr. Livingston's voice telling you: "MATH 408D ... WAS NOT ADDED" The old-timer upperclassmen used to tell us horror stories of actually having to stand in line at the Frank Erwin Center and manually register, pre-TEX.- Realignment talk not going away
I came in with a bunch of credits from AP exams and community college, which helped. Plus my hometown was pretty shit, so I hung around Austin for a couple of summers and took summer school. No regrets, but maybe I could have dragged it out a bit more...LOL.- Realignment talk not going away
I can confirm. In addition to my undergrad from Texas, I have a graduate degree from a university in the midwest which is generally not known for fielding competitive sports teams. I have a token amount of gear from that school, and I do wear it on occasion. But over 90% of the time, I wear my Texas gear. I look back on my four years in Austin very fondly, they went by way too quickly.- Realignment talk not going away
Then fine, the SEC will just fill all four spots, and no playoffs for you. Somehow I don't think the other conferences will like that very much.- Realignment talk not going away
I would say this guy is a moron, but his Twitter handle already did that for me.- Realignment talk not going away
More like Texas is the rich dad who is tired of footing the bill for all of his trust fund children, and he just told them all that it's time move out and get an apartment.- Realignment talk not going away

SWC, Big XII, and ??? Reminds me of an old joke: the "N" on the Nebraska players' football helmets stands for "Nowledge."- Poll on going to the SEC
I wanted Texas in the Pac at one time for purely selfish reasons, as I live out on the west coast and would love to see the Longhorns come out here from time to time. But I think the move to the SEC now makes perfect sense, and I am 100% behind it.- Realignment talk not going away
Hmmm, guess he forgot about the part where FSU finished 5-6 in Jimbo's final season there, were set to go off a cliff, and A&M bailed him out with a massive contract. I'll give Looch one thing, though - he is good at the grift. He knows how to spin takes that the aggy faithful will slop right up like pigs at a trough.- Realignment talk not going away
I blame the Big XII more for this smooth buttfucking by the officials, Oklahoma State was just the lucky beneficiary. It honestly would not surprise me if it were to come out one day that somebody in the Big XII office had money on Oklahoma State for this game.- Realignment talk not going away
I was running with the meme there, but this is true.- Realignment talk not going away
Fuck yeah. Now give us our 20 30 pieces of silver and let's get on with it.- Realignment talk not going away
Hold all the hearings you want, Danny. They're not changing a goddamn thing. May I suggest bringing in a keg or two of Shiner Bock to make them slightly less boring.- Realignment talk not going away
Yeah, I think I can safely say that most of the "S-E-C" chants I have heard lately have been coming from the direction of Collie Station. Look, we'll respect our peers in the SEC, and hopefully they'll respect us. We're not doing any of that silly ass-kissing shit, though.- Realignment talk not going away
If anything, from what I have heard, it may have been the other way around. OU got pissed at Bowlsby for not accommodating their request to move the Nebraska game to prime time, and that was apparently the straw that broke the camel's back and started this whole process. Texas isn't going to sit around and watch its two biggest rivals competing in the SEC without joining in. Anyone who thought Texas would go, "okay, fine, we'll just go make Texas Tech and Oklahoma State our new rivals in the Big XII" is seriously deluded. Of the remaining eight, Oklahoma State is one of those schools I don't really harbor a whole lot of dislike for, aside from the hatchet job that the officials pulled on us with the officiating in the 2015 game. I've always kind of liked Gundy as a coach. Hope it works out somehow for them somewhere. - Realignment talk not going away
