I post here because the SEC board is boring more days (present company notwithstanding).... and this place sees more action. If we had more discussions about beer, women and chicken fried steak over there.... that's where you'd find me.

I do believe that one day the SEC will do something that will fly below the Aggie standard, whatever that may be, and A&M will buddy back up with Texas in the future.
For instance, LSU will hire Art Briles, or something along those lines.

I see no denials that A&M is indeed a B12 team. So it is decided, so let it be.

The conference is going to try and force us to be blood-rivals, just like they did us with Arkansas in a 20-yr experiment that never, ever took. I spend most Thanksgivings with my family in Houston who are all Aggies, and they really try to talk smack, but it's obvious their heart is not in it the way it always was with UT. All I have to do is mention the Horns and you can almost see the blood flowing harder in their face.

But just like Florida as a lock-in, the conference is convinced that organic things can be manipulated by dumbasses in Birmingham.

Whatever. I guess with no real rivals I don't actually care what our schedule plays out like. I guess I should just take a win where I can find it and be impressed that our spineless AD actually got us out of Thanksgiving games. Alleva actually accomplishing something that the university wanted that the SEC and another school didn't.....yeah, I can hardly believe it either.

Let's put it this way - if you want A&M to become a heart & soul SEC team, bring Texas over to the SEC as well.

Otherwise, it's just a feigned passion.

Yeah.... we're an SEC team. You're focused on the wrong thing MDT. The better question is, are all the folks posting on the SEC board actually SEC fans? I mean... no discussions about beer or women or good food really make one wonder. Ain't life in the deep south all about those things in addition to football?

Anyway.... bringing the horns to the SEC would be a tragic mistake that everyone in the SEC would quickly regret. That's a shit show y'all don't want any part of and we're happy to be away from.

We tried, twice. Horns don't wanna play.
Incidentally, you might take a look at Aggie's history before you go impugning the integrity of other schools, particularly linking Briles to LSU--even in an example--because it's an example that will never, ever happen, or anything like it. Which is not to say LSU can't do something stupid. But really man.....let's not act like Aggie is above our moral standard over here.

I'm thinking the B1G would happily oblige, should we ever go shopping.

Peers should hang around peers, may be the way to look at it.

A&M's "sordid" past consists almost exclusively of paying players. Whoop-de-do-dah.
BC mentioned Art Briles. The two are hardly comparable.

Obviously.

But you clearly missed the point. I don't know what makes him think any of the SEC schools are going to do something like hire Briles, but it's very, very unlikely they do anything more than cheating in some fashion. Which I'm not wrong to point out is not outside A&M's moral scope.

The Aggies may leave one day, but it won't be because the SEC offended their sense of goodness and dignity.

It will be because A&M could never, ever beat LSU ;-)

And I know BC was tossing out an example, but he should note that as far as anything dirty goes, like infractions and violations, LSU has the best record in the modern era in the SEC in that regard next to Vandy. And it wasn't that long ago that utee94 coined the term Bonghorns for a reason. Something about glass houses and stones.

1. A school can't have a moral scope. It's boosters and admins do.

2. A&M isn't leaving the SEC.

3. BC doesn't speak for A&M or its fanbase.

4. It's unlikely anyone will be impressed with LSU's record on infractions. It probably just means you haven't been caught as much.

But I did sleep in a Holiday Inn last night.
(oh, and I do have a Master's degree from A&M, but that's just details...)

now the BC picture is becoming clearer and clearer
no wonder he hates the LHN and wants to go to another conference

I knew I liked BC for some reason... just couldn't put my finger on it before now.

This juggernaut conference we are currently in is too competitive and I need less helmet schools on my season ticket package.
Oh yeah, and who needs Nebraska and A&M in their conference, when you can watch Augie cooking shows and the same 3 commercials all day long?
