With us entering the SEC....

[ScottS 1,057]

Personally speaking, for me to give a shit about the other SEC teams (at least the ones outside of aggy and arky) then the SEC had better do a 9 game conference schedule and some sort of regular rotation so we see the other SEC teams on some sort of frequent basis.  Hard to work up any kind of hate for a team if Texas will only face them once every 12 years and will come to Austin once every two decades.

it's amazing to me how those dipshits couldn't recognize that shitting on us would cost them 15% of their tourist traffic every other year

if they had been AT ALL contrite and appreciative the past 25 years we would have kept them as an annual game while we remain at 8 in the league

what's worse is they really had a chance to move up in the world after the pirate made them relevant - despite adopting the 0u approach to pass blocking

tceh could have been a contender and could have counterbalanced the league office' officiating execution we've witnessed the past 15 years

what they did the last 2 years sealed their fate - they are not rapelor or roach who we will never willingly schedule again - but they are now behind oSu and isu on the seniority list to get a game in the 30's.

Like it or not, prime time college football is played in The SEC and The Big Ten.  I hate to say it, but The Aggies were right to make the move a decade ago.  The Horns should’ve made the move first.  For as long as I can remember as a long-time season-ticket holder, home foes at DKR have been mostly mediocre at best to downright pathetic playing in a conference where the only headlining opponent was played away from home at a neutral site.  In this aspect, it will be a pleasure getting to know our new conference brethren.  But with that said, f—k em’ all.  Time to take this new bitch over

I think we should have gone west and saved the Pac, but that's just me. All the Pac leadership had to do is either tolerate LHN for a few years until the contract ran out, or negotiate with ESPN like the SEC did. Instead they chose the "unalive themselves" option, and here we are. There's no way a Pac that included USC, UCLA, Stanford, Oregon, Washington (all the others I can't be bothered to type) PLUS Texas, OU, Tceh and Okie Lite wouldn't be a worthy rival for the B1G and SEC. The 3 super conferences could have added all the worthwhile programs that make geographic sense, leaving all the left behinds to form their own conference..geographic sense be damned. Ahh well, C'est la vie.

[ousux 5,587]

Texas fans are in for a rude awakening w/r/t SEC refs.  

Maybe so, but there was a stark difference between playing Bama in Austin with Rig12 refs versus Tuscaloosa with SEC zebras. I can't be the only one that noticed the refreshing lack of 10 minute game stoppages for what should be easy to spot on replay in about 10 seconds, and pretty much allowing receivers and DB's to do battle without ticky tacky bullshit.

Of course that was only one crew, the SEC may be just as bad, but from the few SEC vs SEC games I watched the games seemed to flow much better.

[Hank Kingsley 20,698]

I am perfectly content to completely ignore Baylor, TTU, UH, TCU moving forward. Never really cared about Okie State, WV, Iowa State, or Kansas, good luck to them. Hat tip to Kansas State...incredible what Bill Snyder started there and they have my respect. 

I'm very excited about the SEC with one (maybe)unpopular caveat. I hate re-engaging with A&M. I know how important the rivalry is. I went to Bonfire in HS (a couple of my best friends were Aggie legacies). I will never forget being at the '98 game when Ricky broke the record. I just seriously hate everything about the culture and overall aura at Texas A&M and being associated with them again. I really enjoyed the hiatus and would've been happy if it lasted forever. 

[closetohumping 17,401]

Never really despised any big 12 teams with the exception of Baylor.  Plan on rooting against ou, aggy, lsu, bama and I think that’s it.  I’m not rooting for anyone though.   I will be much more likely to watch a random sec game va a random big 12 game

When you hate someone or something, that occupies space in your head... rent free space. They don't deserve it.

we MIGHT have gotten slightly favorable reffing in our 2000s heyday, but that ship sailed LOOONNNG ago. and the last 3 years since the announcement have been a clinic in how to get fucked by the refs.

Saban-less Bama aint getting the same calls they got with him, and considering we havent seen anything close to unbiased reffing in 15 years, even it its SLIGHLY in the other DEC teams favor, that still gives us a much better chance than we've had

I live in Nashville so the Texas teams don't mean shit to me other than how they affect the success of TEXAS athletics and now they don't so I don't give a shit at all.

Thoughts?

I’ve never had conference allegiance and never will.

When you live in Texas, you’re exposed to fan bases that are close to you because it’s such a large state with large population. It’s completely different than all of those tiny moonshine guzzling butt fuck cities in Tennessee. 
 

It doesn’t make sense to compare Nashville to anywhere in Texas.

I am excited about competing against others with lower educational standards. I do believe Texas has a lot of T-shirt fans. The SEC has a ton of T-shirt fans with more passion that can’t spell ‘college.’

[msucolt45 3,989]

I lived in Lake Charles from the late ‘90s to ‘08. LSU fans galore there too. I never saw an “SEC” sticker on a vehicle in all my travels from there East to Florida for business/vacation.

It wasn’t until aggy joined that the “SEC” emblem on a vehicle was created -IMO. Prior to them (aggy) most LSU fans I knew was - if it wasn’t “us” then F the rest. Local/surrounding conference mates’ success just might hurt future recruiting, regardless of the sport.

Jeez dude, take 20% off the top there.

This is an overly dramatic, terrible take.  So much wrong here.  Lamenting that you won’t get to travel to scenic big 12 towns like Lubbock, Ames, Manhattan, or Stillwater?  I refuse to believe anyone can argue in good faith that these are better road trips than Nashville, Athens, Baton Rouge or Oxford.  
 

Also, I don’t understand the flying point because it is not like the SEC is more geographically inconvenient than the big 12.  Have you ever driven to Lubbock?  It’s miserable and takes like 9 hours.  Baton Rouge, Fayetville and the Mississippi schools are all closer or comparable distances.

Calling ESPN execs “fascist” is the dumbest, most nonsensical overreaction I’ve seen on this board and that is a high bar.  I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

Finally, zero chance you forego binge drinking during football season.  Most unbelievable take in the entire post, honestly.

In have hated every other team in the Big 12 for my entire life. I have always hated atm and arky in particular growing up in the SWC days. I record every aggy, tech, arky, and blowu game just in case they lose so I can watch it when I need to lift my spirits.

I never root for any team because they are also in the Big 12. I have pride in my alma mater exclusively, and everyone else can suck it.

I suspect my behavior will remain the same with SEC teams.

I hate and look down on Arkansas and aggy.  Beating them is rarely satisfying but losing to them is embarrassing. 

I hate ou but acknowledge them as a worthy adversary and w/ the CB venue, I think it's the best rivalry in cfb. 

I grew up in Baton Rouge going to most LSU home games until we moved to the DFW area in 7th grade, so they've always been my second favorite program; will be weird to be in the same conference w/ them.

I'm pretty indifferent to the rest of the SEC but I am looking forward to going to a lot of stadiums I've never attended.

This.  I usually flew to most road games but last year we road tripped to Tuscaloosa.  It was a blast.  Got up on Sunday morning, assessed that we weren't hungover, and hit the road.  No driving to Birmingham, wasting a couple hours in the airport, yada yada yada.  We're driving to Fayettenam this season because effing with that stupid Wal Mart airport is a pain in the ass.
