Blake, your obsession with texas scares me. Did you go to tech? If so, you should be ashamed of yourself.
"Yes texas, I'll do whatever you say master!"
How ing pathetic and embarrassing.
pretty much a lock that the Ags won't be close enough to even sniff a national championship for the next 50 years if/when they leave.

I'd rather go 0-1,000,000 than act like the slave you'd love to be for texas.
Have fun shining their shoes.
It's just funny that aggie fans think they'll have ANY success in the SEC.
oh, so you think that Carolina will also be vandalizing the aggie ass.
I was giving A&M some benefit of the doubt in that matchup, but your opinion is duly noted.
You just threw out Aggy's version of Geoff Ketchum to try and convince me that Texas is throwing up roadblocks in the legislature to try and prevent Aggy from leaving. You know he makes money off your gulible ass, right?
Show me some proof. A quote from a prominent politician who went to Texas. A Texas booster. , Dan Beebe (who is a UT stooge) just told you gots to off.
If you want to be pissed at anyone, be pissed at Baylor. They have legitimate beef. An alumni from their school is calling this meeting. I haven't seen from Texas. If you can show me, then I'll say otherwise, but some goateed who makes money off your ass isn't proof.
Enjoy the b12, pawn.
If texas didn't care, they would not have hired a PR company to run a campaign to smear and/or stop Texas A&M from leaving.
No matter how much you do not want to admit this is bothering you Kermit, it's quite clear that it does.
They didn't you stupid . That's a Baylor graduates lobbying firm. You think he doesn't have a vested interest in this. I hope your idiocy isn't contagious.

And this isn't bothering me. It's fun.
kermit is mad
I can tell it doesn't bother you. Cussing incessantly, typing in all caps, never leaving this thread. You're becoming obsessed.
You're not following what I'm saying. I can't make anything I'm saying clearer.
t.u. hired a PR campaign to do a smear campaign to prevent or, when we leave, to blame us for potentially ruining the b12.
If it didn't bother them, they wouldn't make this move.
That's as simple as I can lay it out for you. If it's not simple enough, I wouldn't be surprised.
I just read the aggie traditions wiki page. jesus yall are some weirdos in college station.
lol elephant walk
fail.
UT/ESPN: "put this game on the Longhorn Network."
Tech: "get the out of here. We want to play, but on equal footing."
A&M: "You tell 'em, Red. We're also tired of the verbal noogies from big brother and we can't take it any more.
Whips and chains cracking across our backs in the SEC, here we come! Whoooooop!"
like tech had any other options anyway. Just because you guys are stuck doesn't mean you have to be upset on us taking a better offer.
When's the last time a&m was relevant in the BIG XII?
Do you know who Neal T. "Buddy" Jones is?
lol pawn.
Enjoy the b12, pawn.
enjoy watching the Ags get ass whipped. I know I will.
The option would have been to say yes, and play the Horns on the LHN
I'm not upset at all.
I think the Aggies are stupid for leaving a better opportunity to be NC contenders because of the severe inferiority complex.
absolutely they would look into it.

What is the name of the PR company?
We're looking at this from a different perspective then. Let's be real here, When was the last time A&M won a football NC in the big12? It hasn't really worked out here, a change would be good. Also, as a student and fan, I would absolutely love to be able to play in the SEC and witness the best football in the nation as well as great stadiums, teams and a culture that fits us. I've never seen 1 aggie say we are going to go to the SEC and start dominating the conference, nobody believes that. Even if we were to only win 6 or 7 games for awhile but get to play the best teams in the best conference than I would much rather that then play Iowa State, Baylor and Kansas.
By going to the SEC were losing out on winning a NC in the big12? When have we ever won a NC in the big12? Never. We aren't losing out on anything in that regard and if our recruiting can keep picking up and we put the right coaches in charge then who knows, we might have a chance to be a great team in the SEC down the road. Either way, I would much rather be apart of that conference than be with Texas and the little 9.
Not to mention all of our other sports will immediately become le contenders in that conference.
You're a complete idiot. Your best chance to do anything is in the big 12 because UT is coming off a down year, and compe ion is easier than in the SEC. So what, you'd rather get beat my much superior teams than actually have a chance to compete?
Remember this dandy.
Oh, Billy.
Statement One: Texas is going to have a cable channel like the Big Ten Network that will give them even more money and recruiting advantages. After all, it was reported in orangebloods.com and many media outlets picked it up, so it must be true.
Here are the facts. The bottom line is NOTHING HAS CHANGED! They could have had their own network for the last 14 years of the Big 12 and so could we or any member of the conference. Our friends have been bringing their Longhorn Sports Network television mic flags around for years. Their stand alone network has still not happened yet.
ABC/ESPN and FOX continue to have rights to the league's vast inventory of home football, men's basketball, and women's basketball games. For specific's regarding the Big 12 TV Contracts, click here.
There are quite a few baseball and softball games, tennis matches, swim meets, women's basketball and even a few men's basketball and football games that are not selected by ESPN and Fox Sports. And it's those contests, and only those contests, which may be broadcast on a school's own network. We call it a third-tier network. We broadcast many of these contests for free on our Aggies All-Access website powered by CBS Sports. I'm proud to say we have more viewers of our contests than the next three CBS Sports powered websites combined. In effect, that is our Aggie Network and we offer it to you for free around the world.
When we built the 12th Man Productions facilities, our plan was all along to eventually put together an Aggie Network. We are better positioned than any other conference school to do it. Having said that, we would still need to invest millions of dollars to hire the staff, and purchase the equipment and air time to do our own network. And while we would have some live programming from what ABC/ESPN and Fox Sports did not select, the bulk of programming would be replays of recent games and rebroadcasts of historical games. Even ESPN does not have enough live programming to fill its' schedule each day. That's why the Aggie Network is still on the internet.
Today, the financial numbers simply do not work in our favor to produce 168 hours of TV every week. If you think about it, a separate school network does not work unless it's public television, and they need all kinds of ins utional and federal government funding. Last time I checked, the college athletic departments are not eligible.
On the other hand, a conference television network can work. There is enough live and delayed inventory to fill the week, although, even then, the live programming would be skimpy. I would support the new Big 12 doing developing its own network. If you have your own network, the paradigm has shifted on how you build a conference. You ultimately want to expand your footprint to increase the number of cable/satellite viewers who pay a monthly fee to receive your network.
Tech made it up as high as #2 in 2008 and was one win away from being in the le game.
I'm not saying you are losing your national le trophy that would automatically come.
I'm saying any chance you may have to get a le by being in the Big XII will get exponentially smaller by going SEC.
I guess you can always get pointers from Vanderbilt fan on the joy of getting their asses pounded year in, year out by such great teams.
