Fuck aggy, and fuck 0U, too. I want aggy in our pod, so we can kick their ass every fucking year. I also think 0U in another pod is best, and gives 0U and Texas control over half the SEC, likely. 0U can still be our "official conference rival" and play us every year. I don't give a fuck about the rest of their pod - errbody saying "oooh! oooh! 0U gets an easier path, ohhhh noooo!" can fuck right off. I want 0U in a different pod, which they should be able to breeze through every year... as should we in ours. Keeping 0U, Texas, and aggy in one pod is not to our advantage

Nope, it was all Texas.  Kind of funny how, in the decade since they cut Texas out of their lives, they still suck.  On the other hand, we barely even think about them anymore unless they pop up around here and show their asses.

I am completely satisfied with the narrative that Texas killed Nebraska football.

We can sit literally anywhere we want, because we draw a ton of water and, contrary to your whining bullshit, are a net benefit to any conference that we would be part of.

Us having a place to sit was never a concern or question.

It doesn't matter. No matter what ever happened in that shitty conference we were assholes. If we took less $$ then we were lording our status over everyone, if we took it equally we were just using that to hide our TRUE greed and arrogance, and if we take more then well that just shows how greedy we are

I'm already hearing the "You're not used to playing good teams every week."  They're also not used to playing good offenses every week.  Now, a team like Arky is going to have to play LSU and then OU the next week.  They'll just have a few days to prepare.  Good luck with that.

Aggy wants to act like they’re so different from when they left the Big 12 because they’ve played in the league for almost a decade and have recruited “SEC” players but the truth is one of their best football seasons in their history was their first year in the SEC with a defacto Big 12 roster.

[Gucci_Suit 2,610]

The B12 is/was actually a high quality conference in terms of level of football play. Coaching is really damn good (except here) and the talent level is high.  The problem is low level of respect for performing at a high level, which over time, can erode the talent in the league. You beat a really good (to great) team and you get nothing for it. 

It’s like being married vs not-married. Married guy makes solid money, takes family on many vacations, keeps the house in tip-top shape… has to beg for blowjobs. 

Unmarried dude gets bjs for picking the girl up on time and springing for P.F. Chang’s. 

If you’re SEC, all you gotta do is be the unmarried guy and ESPN drops to its knees. Even tickles your ass a little. 

All that to say… I bet we get lots of blowjobs in the SEC. I know I’ll be hunting for them on road trips. Horns will do very well!

Texas had the toughest 4 game stretch in the history of college football a few years back in the SEC I mean Big 12. It don’t make a shit.

Protection of power last year for sure.  When it was decided SEC only schedule, a lot of people thought it would be your schedule for that year and then move in the next 2 scheduled to come on your schedule.  But, in an almost comically obvious action, all of the sudden it was completely revamped and you would play your schedule plus whoever was "randomly" assigned as 2 extra games.  So since Arkansas was expected to be painfully bad following Aggie Chads years, somehow we were awarded the top 2 teams from the East, Florida and Georgia.  Missouri somehow got to see Alabama and LSU.  Didn't work out as well the offices hoped, we were a fair bit better and didn't look like keystone cops, even though we were not gonna take down Bama, Gators and Georgia.  But most people who rank schedules said we had the toughest and will have the toughest this year also.  Most years our schedule is ranked among the toughest. It is part of the reason (see also Aggie Chad above) that we have looked so inept on field in the last few years.

I think Texas came out with some official class ring design at some point in time.  Maybe it was 1996.

But you've always been able to buy a class ring and have it designed any way you liked.  I got mine in 1994.  My mom got hers in 1964.  My dad got his in 1963.  So as usual.... ags are full of shit.

Conf. Titles	7	0
National Titles	3	0
AP Top 10 Finishes	11	0

This is the thing I think most SEC outsiders can’t stand hearing the SEC conference homers thump their chest about.   
 

Over the past decade, they’ve had one team that has been a constant-Bama. In other words we’d probably be 0-10 against them, maybe 1-9  with a win during the Herman years if his brain farted the right way.  

After them, they had two that were consistently good, but beatable.    I mean we we beat UGA even though we were underdogs to a team the media said didn’t want to be there.    We came  razor thin close to beating LSU for crying out loud the same year they won the NC.  Again both games under the leadership of Coach Mensa .  Further perspective UGA came within two points of losing to Nichols State in 2016 on their home turf with Homer SEC Refs. In other words both were very beatable and not an ass kicker week in and week out as some like to make them out to be. 

Then  you have Florida who had some time in the wilderness .   Auburn won an NC I think be accident now looking back because they didn’t do much after that.  Over all nothing to strike fear into a respectable opponents psyche.    
 

So of the teams remaining you have Arkansas, Mizzou, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Miss State, Vandy, Tennessee, and South Carolina.   Oh and aggy.

Can anyone with a straight face suggest if you took one or two of these teams from the group listed above and put them in the ACC, Big 12, Big10, or PAC 12, they would dominate week in and week out?   Nope, and many of them would struggle just like they did in the SEC or be a couple games north of .500. Saving grace that made many of them look better than they were was the cupcake non conference scheduling that was encouraged by the SEC on top of getting one of those cupcakes in November which would allow them to solidify poll slots largely drive by lapdog pro SEC  sports media.  You get four wins from non conference  and all you need to do is win three more and boom, you are seven game winner. 

  

[ousux 5,587]

I can’t fucking wait, I’ve been vocal about the loss of rivalries … Texas may be the last to the SEC but I would give some dude’s left and right nuts to restore Texas vs Arkansas, Texas vs. A&M and keep Texas versus OU. Those are Texas most hated rivals and how I want to watch Texas football on saturdays in the fall. 

Meh, I'm a bit too young to remember the piggy thing and can live the rest of my life never going within 10 miles of collie station or having the gomers defile DRK...but Texas-blowU must stay..and must stay in the Cotton Bowl even if the thing starts crumbling and tumbling down as we're playing.
