Anyone with eyes can see A&M's acceptance of the SEC's invitation was the smart move . Been a huge success on many fronts .
Thought OU was obligated to bring Okie State along to any conference move certainly doesn't appear to be the case now .
Of course if UT and OU are able to force their way into the SEC the Big 12 ( 10 teams ) abomination is finished .
Baylor's only hope is an ACC bid . With the strength of its men and women's basketball programs such an move could happen.
Everyone else is **** out of luck .
To me....its a lateral move.
Texas A&M is still the same average to pretty good football program they were in the BIGXII....just with more money and a larger stadium.
I fail to see what the "huge" success has been.....and I'm being dead serious.
Baylor has more success in major college sports in the 10 years that A&M has been in the SEC.
For the past 25 years of being in a big conference aggy averages about 1 elite season (see 1998, 2012, 2020...etc) every 8-9 years.
When this one season happens you can be sure that aggy (and their Texas media cronies) are going to crow about how badass A&M is, how they have all this fancy redneck money, how big their stadium is....etc and what they fail to always mention is that A&M will almost always go back to what they have historically been.....which is an 8-5 program.
Remove 1984-1998 from Texas A&M (when they were dominating a dying Southwest Conference by cheating their asses off) and they are nothing more than Mississippi St.
The Texas Media gives aggy way more respect than they actually deserve.
