And despite all that, if they had stayed in the big 12, their 2012 team would have had a real shot at playing for the national title.

They likely would have won it because they would have rolled the BDF and gotten to sabotage Saban in the championship game instead of Tuscaloosa

Not so sure. Their O was definitely better. D not so much. They would have played much better offense in B12. Also hearing the stories of sumlins running of the team they would have screwed it up somehow.

Credit to A&M for how quickly they realized they were making themselves look like idiots and also making an even bigger laughingstock of themselves. The good thing about being a fanbase full of sheep is that Liucci will tell them they were excited about Texas coming the whole time and they'll believe it and act like the last 48 hours never happened. 

Credit to A&M? Fuck that. They got told off, they did. By the SEC and the Governor's mansion.

I have posted here for a few years and generally like most of y’all.

But the attitude displayed in this post is exactly why some of us have the impression of UT fans that we do.

“We’re Texas”. Whatever. You’re one of 16 now.

Give it 5 years, once the novelty has worn off, and y’all will bitching about “THE SEC OFFICE IS IN BIRMINGHAM, PAULLLLLLL” and posting conspiracy theories about the Red Elephant Club.

Nebraska fans once thought like you.

Where credit goes is to the SEC. This was the culmination of a 31-year-long plan to drag us into this conference. A&M played their role as pawns phenomenally. All I'll say is: Be careful what you wish for.

We are the Joneses. Yes, everyone has been kicking us around for a dozen years, while an old guard stuck around far past its expiration date, then various political issues prevented us from getting our shit in gear.

Well, our shit is back in gear now, and that will start showing results on the field really, really soon. And -- God, I love Bama, I love your traditions, and I love your contributions Bama Chick, but as bad as people like to make it, the biggest problem they have with us isn't that we are arrogant.

It's that we have good reason to be.

Thanks, Troph.  I remember this game well, but don't think I'd ever seen the video.  Was doing normal Saturday chores with my wife and listening on the car radio.  Was waiting in line at a car wash and ended up in the wash in total radio silence on the final play.  Couldn't believe that we won!

We listened on the radio too! At least the last drive on the way to a wedding. I was a kid I didn’t care about some stupid wedding. I was so mad my folks made me turn off the tv. We went ape shit in the car, honking the horn and  horns up out the windows. I saw the highlights on the local 10pm news.

This is the first game I recall as a Longhorn.  I was really young.  I had purchased my first college football preview mag with Eric Metcalf earlier that year.

I don't remember if I watched this or listened on the radio.  It just so happened that night we had to pick my mom up at Love Field.  While waiting, we heard a bunch of hooping and hollering.  The UT Pom or cheerleaders had gotten off a flight to switch planes.

I know it's a popular jape to mock the ags with this, but the 2011 team was 6-6 (4-5 vs. B12) in the regular season.  They weren't going to miraculously dominate the B12 and challenge for the national championship the next year.  The B12 was accustomed to offenses like theirs and the SEC was unprepared for it.

A&M barely choked games away in 2011. If we had had the Heisman quarterback performance in 2011 that we had in 2012, we would have likely gone 11-1….and gotten snubbed for Alabama and LSU just like Oklahoma State did.

This dude is talking out of his ass.

Texas Legislature is in special session and cannot consider any legislation to block Texas from leaving.  Plus, they do not have a quorum due to all the Democratic members leaving the state.  The earliest that the Legislature could take this up would be 2023, and the deed will have long since been done by then.

LHN is bleeding money for ESPN and not likely to be renewed.

But keep on dreaming.
