I'm glad I haven't seen any University of Michigan billboards around the area. I think it would tip me over the edge. We already have some Wolverines coming to our Spartan household for that game Kidding of course. Kind of.

What benefit would it be for them to go SEC? They can have a near perfect football record even in mediocre years, plus they make bank on all their TV royalty and bowl/ conference winnings. Only 1 team gets out of the SEC West to go to the big 4 bowls. Why chance it when they can dominate the Big 12/10/9 (whatever we are now....)

Why would UT move to the SEC? Why doesn't everyone move to the SEC if that's the case. Why bother having a big 12, pac10 and such. All I know is I can't wait to watch a&m get demolished in the SEC.

Because texas likes to suggest they are one of the big boys and yet they are running like a scared queen away from the big boys in the SEC. And besides all of this was when it looked like the big 12 was about to not exist.

Go Green!

And who took their marbles and ran home/to another conference? Um, the Aggies. Still curious as to which school in the SEC will give the Aggies their next inferiority complex. What's that phrase about how no one can make you feel inferior without your consent? Aggies in a nutshell. The Aggies now have a billboard in Austin about the city being SEC country now. Okay. Whatever. And my money is on LSU for the next Aggie rivalry/unneeded inferiority complex.

1.) Everyone can't be in the same conference.

2.) Texas is considered a "Big Boy" because they had the best record in the 2000s and 2 title apperances. A&M is the one who always talked like a "Big Boy".

3.) Texas A&M is a "Big Boy" even though they averaged a 5th place finish in the Big XII?

4.) Most of the SEC is not all that great. They have been living off of Bama, LSU, Florida's and sometimes Auburn's national successes the last 10 years.

5.) After the initial wave of playoff success, the BCS or whatever will change the qualifier. I bet some SEC schools jump at that point.
