In other news, who was the dipshit SECSECSEC fan that decided to call a game where both teams go over 40 points "Twelving?"

Cause it sure seems like the two best SECSECSEC teams in all the land just went over 40 points against one another.  What a shitty-ass defensive conference.

I think I'll rename this craptacular phenomenon "SECing" because that sounds equally as stupid.

I think that was afroman
anyway you stole my thunder

secsecsec

Auburn 48
Alabama 45

Another stellar example of bad defenses doing what they do best-- or, what we call around here, "SECing."

yep I actually thought of this thread yesterday during the game

BC you’re so full of shit and totally presumptuous about what Aggies think.

Whether I should confess or not, I am related to as many Aggies as Longhorns.

The casual football fan Aggie would much rather be playing Big 12 teams - you know, locals, cuz it's more fun.

The redass Aggie who would cut off his wiener to spite UT (and has done so many times) proclaims to much prefer the SEC SEC SEC.

I'll go with the casual Ag whose thinker isn't anti-programmed.

I'm married into a large Aggie family.  They're generally good people.

I can't speak for most of them, but my i s c & aggie wife still has no idea why her team is playing Ole Miss and Miss State and South Carolina and Auburn and Kentucky instead of Texas and Texas Tech and Baylor and TCU.  She regularly mixes with people from those schools, and she doesn't know a single person that graduated from any of her new SEC foes.  No shared eperience, no familiarity,  no historical context, no real interest in those schools.  She loves her Aggies, and will watch them play regardless, but she'd definitely MUCH rather be playing her old SWC/B12 foes.  

BC are you saying the on campus number of aggies is 200000

IIRC about 66,000 on campus nowadays but there is some contention about how many are on-line vs actual bodies.  Every college is allowing students to take online courses.  I was up there for Student Bonfire a few weeks ago and there are a lot, and I mean a lot, more buildings and stuff on campus vs my time 20 years ago.  A&M is 5,000 acres, we have the room to handle more students and the state population keeps going up.  I have mixed feelings about it.  There were about 43K when I was there.  I'm not sure 20K more students change a lot from my perspective.  

Perspectives can change a lot due to location.  Being on the Gulf coast (Houston Galveston area) I talk to a lot of Aggies and all are glad we are in the SEC.  Sure the competition is tough but I think all aggies are confident that we are getting there and in much better shape being in a stable conference.  I do not work with or know a single Baylor graduate or TCU graduate and very few Tx Tech.  There are more Longhorns here than any other single group (not surprising).  A few OU.  Surprisingly a lot of Miss St grads and LSU grads.  I work for a fortune 100 company so I meet a lot of different people with various college affiliations.  

Utee as far as your wife not knowing why we play Ole Miss or Miss State my wife couldn't even tell you what conference we play in or what division.  She just knows that it's exciting to play Georgia and LSU over Kansas State and Iowa State.  A lot of Aggies want to play the longhorns again and lots don't, it's pretty well split.  Maybe not 50/50 but close.

That one's easy.  Longhorn Network.
