Don't go callin' grits no "poluntah" around heah.

I'm not, I didn't-- that's the point.

It's the yankees that erroneously call grits "polenta."  No idea why they do that.

Probably not.  But we're all gonna have a lot of fun, anyway!

The Texas dude doesn't look like much of an athlete, to me.  ....

How would you feel about that, Gig'em?

I love being in the SEC.  I would think that the Texas A&M I knew would be a major misfit in the B1G.  I always thought Texas was a better fit, I would love to know if they had an offer and chose the SEC instead. 

Mostly, I think the article is nothing more than click-bait.  Amusing, but no chance.  

The old, original Big 12 from 1996-2010 was really a great conference.  Still not clear why we couldn't make it work.  Helmet teams NU, OU, Tex, near helmets A&M, CU (at times), Mizzou.  Great BBall with KU.  Decent programs like TT and oSu.  Up and comers like KSU.  

The thought of A&M in the B1G is certainly strange.  TAMU has felt like a great fit in the SEC, to me.

Mizzou wanted very much to go into the B1G in the 2010 realignment. The B1G didn't issue an invitation, so Mizzou went to the SEC instead.
A&M seems like a better fit in the SEC than it would be in the B1G.

Yup.

Although I also think the idea of "fit" in a conference is sort of antiquated and silly at this point.  It's all about money, the rest is just internet message board fodder.

I don't think Texas is a particularly good fit for the SEC, or at least what the SEC was 15-20 years ago, but at this point, with it already being stretched beyond its original Deep South roots, what does that really mean, and who even cares?

Nobody asked me about realignment, I didn't have any say in it, so all I can do is watch the matchups that appear on the schedule, however that schedule might have been decided.  And for me personally at least, I think watching Texas sports play in the SEC, is going to be a lot of fun.  Some new faces, and some old ones.  It's supposed to be entertainment and that's what I'm looking forward to.

Yes that's a sentence-ending preposition, poor grammar.  Maybe we WILL fit in with the SEC after all.
