I always enjoy reading about how underhanded and toxic we are; I just want to know what they are actually talking about. Like, some specific examples. And no, taking their baseball coach doesn’t count (coaches jump to other schools all the time, and their claims of our toxicity far predate that event), nor does taking espn’s money to televise our stuff (because why the fuck wouldn’t we, or anyone else?).

I would love to hear them lay out their case with actual events and a modicum of honesty, but I suspect that they don’t really have anything and this is just dogma at this point.

They cant say The Longhorn Network is a reason when they were offered a chance to partner with Texas and they turned it down.

The idea that somehow the one state and small school dominated SWC would have made it as a power conference past the 1990s if it weren't for Texas is incredibly stupid. 

I mean if the PAC 12 wasn't viable in this ridiculous cutthroat era, the SWC wasn't going to make it.

Likewise, pretty sure the Big 10 and the SEC were going to be poaching the second tier conference's schools whether Texas was in them or not. Unless they think the ACC also has Texas in it somehow.

Like everything that has happened to the entire country in sports the past fifty years was somehow all masterminded by Texas, despite the fact we are almost always a step behind and reacting to what other people are doing with the very possible exception of the LHN.

My understanding is Texas forced the big 12 to move its headquarters to Dallas. It has already forced the sec to move media day to Dallas this year.

I’m not sure why this is a big deal but it is and is a precursor to everything

Big Ten greed has led to Big Ten expansion which has resulted in every major conference shift since 1990.  It's remarkable to me the mental gymnastics that some people will perform in order to somehow pin Big Ten greed on Texas.  

Ags aren't the only ones, either.  I post on another message board that's heavily B1G-oriented, and even after those assholes watched their own conference commissioner announce expansion in 2009, then scoop up Nebraska in 2010, they still somehow decided to blame Texas greed for "destroying" the B12 even though Texas is the one that stayed, and shit-ass Nebraska is the one that left for more money,

Well the Big 12 was brand new, we didn't force anything to move.

As for forcing the SEC to do things, well I hope this vast power does us more good than Sark and Texas based media members having to travel a shorter distance.

Nobody cares about money besides Texas. For everybody else it has always been about the pure love of the game.

Forced?  Or am I missing your sarcasm?

So we are the great Destroyer of Conferences, and good 'ole ATM is the only school that can stop us.  But...I feel like ATM was in the last 2 conferences that they claim we destroyed.  So, either we didn't destroy those conferences...or, we did destroy them, and ATM just let us...?

 

Thank God they're around to stop us this time...

This is by far my favorite thing to come out of all the realignment mess -- that the SEC was working behind aggy's back to bring in the mean ol' sips.   

The SEC knew it would piss off aggy and did it anyway.

Apparently a "gentlemen's agreement" just doesn't mean what it used to mean.

Definitely missed the sarcasm

I’ve never understood why those moves to Dallas were a big deal. But apparently in aggy minds evil UT made it happen and that is the sign of the beginning of the end of a conference

It's a crossover to one of my other favorite thread, Ewers is ranked #3 in the game. #1 makes  sense, but # 2 is a great laugh and my favorite football personality took issue with it. (Not in the way you'd think)

It's SI so questionable at best

[BurntEyes 6,315]

To get back on track, the funniest thing for me about aggie threats to go to B1G is the absolute silence from all parties affiliated with the SEC.

The Irish (not the Notre Dame Fighting Irish but real Irish in Ireland) can apparently build a bonfire stack over 200 feet high without it falling over.  Some dude did a base jump off the stack.

‘World’s first base jump’ from controversial 200ft bonfire in Larne

Surely if aggy finds out about this there will be a lawsuit or at least a strongly worded letter written.

I wonder why the SEC felt they had to exclude aggy from the adult table conversations?   It’s not like aggy would act in a childish, unprofessional manner and throw a tantrum to act out to the detriment of the overall group.   
 

What were they going to do?  Run to their local Houston paper as soon as they heard and put the story into the public news while the deal was still being discussed by the adults?

They will never do this.   Since the Houston Chronicle is still regarded as a major sports media outlet in Texas and their sports department is populated with aggy, they can and will keep on pumping crap unquestioned to their sources.    And now they employ a former Longhorn hater who was employed by the AAS up until a few weeks ago.  
 

When aggy resumes coming in behind us in not just football but other sports, screams will get loud and laughable.   They can’t blame themselves because they’ve spent or will be spending a butt load of money on facilities.   And of course they’ve done to same with some of the coaching hires.   It’s surprising they didn’t try to blame us for Jimbo failing.    Maybe I missed it?

I think the jury is out on Sanders.  He's always running for his life.

The jury is most definitely not out on Hunter.  That dude is legit on both sides of the ball.
