so when does the SEC office move to Dallas?

aggy doesn't want that to happen because the perception (correct) would be the SEC bowing down to it's new overlords. 12 years and never talk of moving to Dallas lolololololol

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

My thoughts on Tuscaloosa are more from the tourist/traveler in me than the football fan. They've got good restaurants, the bars are fun, and it's a scenic area. It helps that we have friends there. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit there if it wasn't for football every now and then. Still, the lesson on my end has been learned and our next trip will include anywhere between 3 and 6 couples. 

Fair enough. If you think Tusca is fun, you will love the rest of SEC country 😄

[Teamdirtyleg 1,058]

I know there are some backwards hicks in the Alabama fan base and they can be awful, but the main issue is their deeply felt entitlement to win, and certainly to beat “silly little wanna-be Texas”.  They do not handle losing with any amount rational measure or grace. They will get more used to losing to us.

[sidis 9,713]

@4th&Five and I have done a lot of the SEC with a group of dudes that has doing a trip a year for the last 20 years as well as a few pac12s (oregon and washington), some big 10s (michigan, wisconsin, iowa), and acc's (clemson, notre, and vatech).  However, we have only been as visiting texas fans once and that was in 2015 for notre dame which sucked all around.

LSU a few times including Auburn in 2003 and Alabama in 2010.

Alabama in 2007 in Saban's first year for LSU.  

Tennessee in 2008 for Florida.

Georgia in 2013 for LSU.

South Carolina in 2012 for Georgia.

Ole Miss in 2016 for Alabama.

Auburn in 2019 for Georgia.

We are going to Kentucky this year for the florida game.

Tuscaloosa is definitely, by far, the shittiest town in all of the sec that i have been to.  it fucking sucked ass in every way.  they may have upgraded the town a bit in the last 15 years while being good but holy shit did it suck.  stadium was super nice and we had fun with the fans but they weren't losing to texas.  good food in birmingham.  all the fanbases are chocked full of white trash idiots.  There is nothing distinguishing them...EXCEPT LSU.  they aren't human beings.  they truly are a different species of swamp dwelling trash.  that said, if you aren't playing them and just a neutral observer as we were, holy shit are they a fucking good time.  great food.  but easily the most obnoxious and drunkest fucking people on the planet.

ole miss was super chill, tennessee was super chill (because they were horrible when we went), south carolina had a shocking amount of hot ass and it didn't hurt that they were playing uga, georgia was the most fun and enjoyable town by a long shot.  knoxville second.  auburn is boring ass rural alabama.

The people in Tuscaloosa were pretty nice. Lots of good conversations, mutual A&M bashing, handshakes, fist bumps and whatnot. It's a pretty area and good vibes.

You'll get immature assholes everywhere, but overall I enjoyed the visit. 

Hell, I had to eat lunch in a sorority house (sister-in-law goes there) and people were still pretty gracious hosts.

On the other hand, getting out after the game was a nightmare and everything surrounding the area seemed backwoods as hell. And I don't think Alabama believes in street lights.

One thing I will embrace about the SEC

Its unquestionably the hardest hitting and toughest style of football in existence. NFL doesn’t allow this level of hitting anymore. This is NFL talent with less restrictions. 

the officials called holding when it was obvious and it mattered

they even called an illegal man downfield

They error on the side of caution mostly and letting guys play instead of getting involved in the game too much. Not a ton of dumb reviews either.

I think it will be worse for Texas moving into the new conference than for OU regarding how fans/players are treated on the road. The SEC schools think of their conference as a brotherhood. We think of it as a bigger check for us; therefore, we’ll stick out as the school that doesn’t want to fully integrate. We have no intentions of being “brothers” with any of those animals. We walked out of that stadium Saturday evening with our middle fingers extended and we will continue to do so even as we officially become members of the conference. 

They don't think of Mizzou, Pig or aggy as brothers, no matter how much aggy yells SEC-SEC-SEC.   OU and us will also be outsiders for a long time.

I think the direction on that is pretty clear.

We're not plastering "SEC" all over everything we have like aggy did.  We'll have it on the field and on the basketball court because I suppose we have to.  But it's not going to be bigger than our own logo on every goddamned t-shirt we sell.  Frankly, I don't think it'll be on any t-shirt we sell.

To the extent you hear anything from our fans or the school about "SEC," it's as a middle finger to the Big 12, which richly deserves it.  

And on the part of the SEC, you saw their "a new era . . ." commercial, which prominently features Texas, three times during the Saturday night broadcast.  The SEC is plainly pretty damned excited to have Texas in a way that it wasn't with aggy.

Texas was the golden egg, the whole time.  kept trying to bust up SWC and Big 12.  had to get aggy to get to us once it became obvious we weren't going to go Big 10 and that we were kind of a package with OU.  that is pretty much it.

I know it's a very unlikely scenario aggy will ever sniff the championship game but crazier shit has happened.

I'd pass your admiration of my avatar on to the esposa. On 2nd thought I better not. I'd probably get kicked in the nuts for using the pic. 

I've got to admit.  There were a lot of us in the Texas-exes center really enjoying that 77-0 beating OU gave aggy back about 15 years ago.

Probably wouldn't have cared who lost if it was a close game, but we were rooting for 100!

The hitting is good.  The cheap shots they let them get away with (and Bama has become one of the worst) is not good for the players.  Nick Chubb had a really nasty knee injury in Knoxville about 10 years ago when a Tennessee player hit him about 5 yards out of bounds.  Not a flag at all.  That is the worst part of SEC officiating.

[John80 121]

Ohio State and Alabama's fanbases are notorious for being terrible to everyone. Texas will be hated by their old rivals but the rest of the conference doesn't care. No one thinks of the other schools as brothers. Maybe aggy thinks this way but no one else does.

I'm pretty sure student section.  Night game.  Troy was an upset watch team back then and the game went poorly for LSU.  I think LSU needed a late TD to win.  Place was packed.  Rooting for LSU.  Maybe some of the usual light-hearted jeering, but nothing angry or fighty.  "Wearing the wrong color; long way from Austin" and crap like that.

Full disclosure: It was like 10 of us (UT and LSU) and most of us were big dudes. Probably not the sort that generic college guy would have looked at and said, 'I'm gonna fuck with that group.'
