The major break-up

« on: June 13, 2010, 10:29:59 PM »

WoW, all I can say is WoW!

Not sure if anyone else has been following this but it looks like t.u. and the other BIGXII South teams are going to head to the PAC10 and Texas A&M is going to the SEC. Is this true, all indications point to it and if so will this be the end of the t.u. and A&M thanksgiving day game?

I for one am really glad the A&M didn't bow down to the pressure from t.u. to follow them, it seems that A&M has done what is best for them. I am really excited about A&M to the SEC, WoW, what great games there are going to be. Don't get me wrong, we will get or ass kick, but this will open up so many great recruiting opportunity. Bringing back the old SWC rivalries will make some great games in College Station.

I think it makes more sense for A&M to go to the SEC as it fits their recruitment style and geography. The only down side is we have a coach that is pretty straight laced, and they don't do too well in the SEC IMO, (ie T. Tubberville, etc). The exception to that is Fla....so I guess we'll see if we can be legit and still compete with the Ala., LSU and all their paid players.

I think Texas will make a huge mistake if they go to the PAC-10. Their best interests lay solely in an invite to the Big-10 or going independant. Just think Notre Dame without strict admissions.....yikes.

Just in today, Texas is staying put due to being promised an option for their own sports network as well as a new TV deal for the remaining ten schools (20 million a yr for each school) in the Big 12....TXA&M Officials met today but no public word as to if they are leaving or not.

Yeah, A&M is staying also, I am very disappointed in them. This was the time to get out of the shadow of t.u. and get into a conference that is one if not the best. That would open up so much more recruiting opportunities, but no, back to the same old Dung beatle food. After 4 years, we will see t.u. go independent because they will have built there network up and would have no need for the other schools anymore.

A&M has blown a great opportunity by not sticking to there guns and joining the SEC.
