Hey BMEN, what do you think of A&M going to the SEC??
Click to expand...

Love it. Here is my diatribe on it . WYS may not like it but this is how i see it from how everything has played it the past couple of years

The SEC Brings:
1. Stability
2. More Money
3. More TV coverage and visibility
4. Better competition
5. Tailgating that is second to none

A&M Brings:
1. The 6th largest fan base in the country
2. Women's national championship basketball team
3. Men and Women's National Championship Track Teams
3. One of the best game day atmospheres in Kyle Field
4. Texas TV Markets
5. A Tier 1 Research University which was ranked by Forbes as the top Institution in the Big 12 this year
6. Texas recruiting
7. Top 25 Basketball team
8. Top 10 Baseball team
9. Top 10 Football team

You do know that A&M has the top Athletic Department in the Big 12 right?

BOTTOM LINE: This move benefits both sides.


Other Thoughts:
With all of that said there are some really butt hurt fans out there of opposing teams that do not want this to happen. And the fans that know they can't do anything about it are throwing A&M under the bus left an right.

You know you can't deny that the Big 12-3 is really on shaky ground now. If anything, the fans that are mad at A&M should be mad at their own University's AD for not growing a pair and looking out for their own school.

There are also people who think A&M will take a hit in recruiting and if you think that you haven't been following recruiting the past few years. Sherman has done a great job of keeping OU at bay this last year and Les Miles is pissed about the recruits we are stealing form LA. Heck last year we stole Shaun Ward (one of the top LBs in FL) out of Florida. If anything this gives us more states to recruit and more of a sales pitch than before.

In addition there are also people who have convinced themselves that TCU or Houston will be just as good or better. PLEASE put down the crack pipe. TCU is a respectable program and Gary Patterson is an amazing coach. Their fans are also classy from what I have experienced. But they bring no more TVs or fans to the table. A&M has 3 national championships (Only 1 that we claim) 18 conference titles and we are top 20 all time in wins. TCU is not. They have a program headed in the right direction but they do not bring what A&M does to the table.

There was also an article today about how Deloss Dodds, NOT Dan Beebe was sizing up replacements for A&M. That should go to show you right there that none of the remaining teams in the conference will be treated with respect as long as they are in the same conference as Texas. Dan Beebe is dirty and he is a whipping boy for TU.

The other thing that gets me is that A&M was never really against the LHN. We were only against the airing of high school games and fine with TU only airing one game. I think most people thought ESPN was crazy because they would never fill air time with Texas sports alone. Once the deal was finalized A&M was actually okay with it. Then came word that Texas had signed contracts with high school coaches in which they had recruited from to air high school games. That was a huge red flag. About the same time Texas announced they were going to jump the gun and go ahead and try to air a second football game.

We weren't against the network. Only the smoke that Texas was blowing because they were not being honest. A few weeks later communications and emails surfaced where it became apparent that Texas did not care about the rest of the conference. Missouri and OU stood up an apposed what was going on but did nothing other than say a few words.



REALITY:
Us Aggies could regret this move down the line but for now we have the Coaching, Resources, Facilities, Fans and the Money and a team that is on the rise. Things are looking up. And if you really hate us that much then you shouldn't mind us leaving.

tldr: Great for both sides. Better sense money wise for us. Forces us to expand our stadium too. Culture fits better in the SEC. Also the big12 was on crutches after NU and CU left. Only a matter of time before the PAC decided another conference raid. Long run stability is what is needed
 
So... my flight is super delayed. Like a whole 6 hours.

So here's where I am currently sitting...

WOAH...that (especially including the quoted section) was a much more intense response than i was expecting!
 
Personally, I was a little bit sad...I like(d) the Big 12

well you weren't around during the game music discussion, and I don't even know if you play/like videogames.

My thought is it will still continue. GT -Georgia kept theirs. UF-FSU did too. It would be a stupid action on both parties to not do it. They both produce some of the highest revenue games for each team.

Me too. But with NU and CU leaving it was destined to happen. It was shaky afterwards and is going the way of the Southwest Conference where teams slowly left

True...I wonder what will happen with the rest of the teams though. I heard Missouri may head to the SEC too (this is weirder to me than A&M). I don't know about the other 8 though...

Will the A&M move be effective for football after this upcoming season?

I'm a nerd. Sega Genesis, Nintendo all consoles, and Xbox are in my possession back home.

So.... yes. I play videogames... and I used to RPG back in the day too.

I too was a child of Sega back in the day. I even have a Gamegear and I still own my Dreamcast too.

Dunno thats a toss up. Theoretically, it means better impact on recruiting. Playing in the SEC is a big grab for many players. We lost a player this year for that very reason on the recruiting trail. If our coach continues to recruit the way he does and then uses the new SEC state pipelines, then great. South Carolina set the bar low by going 2-22 the first two seasons in the SEC so its kinda hard to be that terrible.


My guess is many bolt to the PAC, Big East,Big 10. Baylor goes to conference USA lulz

Hmmm interesting. It's just so strange to have all these Big 12 teams dispersing.

Anyways, it will be fun to watch regardless! And we still have this season with the Big 12 (10..)

Love Japanese stuff.

Remember the EK passage about video games?

I was so enthralled by it.

I got perfect on that passage. That's one thing I will miss about the MCAT I guess... the cool tid bits of info you learn. Random stuff that would show up on jeopardy or who wants to be a millionaire.

:laugh: Once again, your dedication puts me to shame.

I did go watch the Broncos training camp today in Denver and it was sweet!

Really depends on how things shake up. I see a lot of bad blood between the two athletic departments.

The only video game thing (?) I ever had was a Gameboy Color...With Pokemon....YELLOW version....I felt like the boss.
 
I'm about to watch a little Futurama WYS....just thought you should know.

Maybe. But if it came to that it would be a decision from Dodds and Powers.

EK? I never had examkrackers, maybe I should have.... No no more MCAT talk, back to videogames.

I really wish I had a Sega CD / Saturn though, such great games that I wont get to play.

I'll show that judgmental feline to my parents...since they are largely (and by largely, I mean completely) at fault for my lack of video gaming. If I try to play video games now, I last about 4.3 minutes and then I go crazy and leave.
