Maybe Texas and OU will rethink joining a crappy conference.

Good game, Texas!  One of the few times I've rooted for the 'Horns.  This season I would love for the Horns and Sooners to play for the B12 championship just to make sure the final B12 trophy leaves with one of us.

It would be a fitting end to our tenure in the conference.

As long as Texas wins the trophy.

Please oh please, y'all already have so many, you wouldn't even notice one more on your shelf!  Please let us win it!!

Yeah, OK, I think we can LET you win.:73:

OU is better than last year so it might not be 49-0 but Texas is probably better than OU at every position group this year.  I'm not holding out much hope.

Ok, 41-3 then.  

Shake on it, and then sign your papers.  

We got two new houses built at the end of our street waiting for y'all to move in, and if y'all back out, Tulane is probably gonna want back in the neighborhood, and I can't have that.

Sixlane for sure!

It's gonna feel really weird joining the SEC I have to admit.  But there will be a lot of entertaining games, and ultimately that's what matters most to me, as a fan.

The weirdest thing to me is knowing how in a short while, it won't be weird.

I had such a hard time imagining A&M as an SEC team because I was used to them playing Texas schools in the SWC days, and "middle-America" teams in the Big 12 days (a great long-standing ooc rivalry with LSU notwithstanding).  It felt so werid to watch them play Florida that first conference opener, and then move to their annual slate of Ole Miss, Auburn, etc.  

Fast forward just a few seasons and it felt normal, natural, and like it had always been that way.  Which is what's gonna happen with OU and UT.  I've already gotten used to not seeing OU/Neb anymore, and now OU's mental footprint in my mind is going to completely shift, as will Texas'.  

It will be nice to get the UT/A&M game back.  My hope is A&M will quit projecting the loss of their last girlfriend onto us, because it's damn weird when we never dated them in the first place.  

My further hope is we go to the 9-game conference schedule with the 4-team perma-rival models I've seen.

I still find it weird that South Carolina is in the SEC ...  and Mizzou is as well, right?  I forget them.  (So do the Dawgs at times ...).

Suwanee is out now, right?

I think it's stranger for the movers, than the move-ees.  Or whatever.

My i s c & a aggie wife still wonders why the ags are playing Miss State and Auburn instead of Texas Tech and Texas.  She grew up with the SWC rivalries and I don't think she'll ever really get into the SEC groove (although she did enjoy watching her team beat Alabama those couple of times).

For me though, I'm happy we'll have Texas A&M and Arkansas back on the schedule, while also maintaining the annual game against OU.  And then the thought of sprinkling in some games against LSU, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, makes for a lot of fun.  I'm just going to have to get to the point where I can accept all of that at face value.  But it's going to take a while, no doubt.

I've really enjoyed A&M's time in the SEC, but I really don't want things to change.  Because with the 14 team set-up and the E/W split it still felt like a cozy little place, not a lot different than the Big 12.  We had Bama/LSU instead of OU/Tx as the big boys, Auburn/Ole Miss instead of Tech and oSu, Vanderbilt instead of Baylor, South Carolina instead of Kansas State.  Now it just seems like a lot bigger deal, less cozy.  I really would have like to see A&M win at least one SEC W division, and we had some good to great teams, but came up short.  The worst part is that we were closest in our first season, losing to Florida before JFF was unleashed hurt.
