Yea I would say the Big12 as a whole doesn't play D.

TCU is just the best... it's like being the prettiest girl in a room full of ugly ones.

I'm sure many of those SEC defensive accolades would decrease (certainly over the course of the whole season) in the offensive-oriented Big XII. (See A&M/Bammer game.)

Wrong year dude. LSU beat up on A&M in 2010, when they were actually a Big12 team. In 2012, they're an SEC team.

Let's see what happens when A&M takes on OU. LOL!

A&M 65 OU 21.

First of all A&M is not running the same offense they ran in the Big12... Lets get that straight first. This is Sumlin and His OC'a first year!!! Don't try to take credit for something that was never a part of the big12. I thought you didn't root, brag, or boast about your conf like SEC honks anyway??? Cause that sounds like you are trying too...

Second of all their stats are not THAT great for that game. They barely hung on to win. Bama outgained them. Go back and look. And After the first quarter they were virtually shut down.

I'm sure you would agree scoreboard matters the most.

The total offense difference was 13 yds in favor of Alabama (431 vs. 418). A&M had the best quarter of football they ever played (1st quarter). And Alabama, like a quality team should, fought back. Alabama was out-rushed by A&M. They had two 54 yd. pass plays to get back in the game. But still it is scoreboard - and earned in Tuscaloosa. A&M also missed a 37 yd. FG and 1 PAT.

You're correct that Sumlin's offense is very different than Mike Sherman's the previous seasons. To me that makes this year's offense even more impressive. Completely new scheme, new QB, even the OL had to block from a different stance.

It's all good... I'm not upset or anything if my post seemed that way. I was smiling at your post... . The diggin was deserved.

But it was hedging your bets saying TAM would suck then when they were good Big12 fans were wanting to claim them. So as long as you all are cheering for an SEC team is all good...

Plus I know you all miss TAM... the SEC came up.

We'll trade you Mizzou for OK? Lol...
