(NEW) Aggie rumors of going to the SEC

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Vanderbilt is obviously the best academic school in the SEC

And it ain't close.

 

[BrntO4Life]

Right. I forgot about Vanderbilt. It's easy to forget they play football, though.

From dealing with the TAMU football players though both business reasons and running in to them around town, I get a good chuckle out of the idea that TAMU is a school that supposedly cares about academic standards to some degree. I can't even imagine what the dolt footballers in places like Alabama and LSU must be like.

Anyway, word here the last few years concerning moving to the SEC has always been that TAMU doesn't want to play in the mud in order to compete. The Pac 10 was the best fit when UT and TAMU were rumored to be going together, but that ship sailed. I doubt this move happens.

I'd be all for it, the Aggies decided to cut the rivalry off just before LSU was ready to offer some payback for the 80s and early 90s. They can play us every year again if they want, and we'll continue to spank that ass as we did in Dallas last January. As for the SEC adding a 14th team, it'd probably have to be another midlevel program comparable to aTm, and preferably one located east of Auburn. Clemson would probably be the most ideal fit.

But let me address all this shit talking going on about the SEC's academics. I'm pretty sure you can still get a world class education at any of those schools if you truly want to. Everyone considers heels an "intelligent" poster at VSN and he went to Moo State, decidedly among the least regarded SEC institutions. I don't say this to bash heels or Mississippi State but rather to highlight the dangers of judging a school based on its reputation. They each have nationally ranked programs in individual fields (like Miss State for turf management, or Alabama for broadcast journalism, or LSU or Auburn for agriculture, etc.). Sure, overall the schools have some weaker students/curricular offerings compared to other state schools, but you guys are grossly over generalizing.

This doesn't even sound real.

Too bad Auburn's isn't better.

Bring back the Southwest Conference.

Bring back the Southwest Conference.

If you want a conference where every school is on probation...just give the NCAA another 5 years or so and the SEC will hook you up with that fix.

 

[Hasselbeck]

If they get TAMU, they really need a 14th member. Only 13 is gay

Vanderbilt is in the league.. so really it's expanding to 12.

Of course, but this is a discussion of overall academics at an institution.

I don't care if Ole Miss has an awesome graduate program in Pasture Ass-Grabbery or Alabama is amazing at Manure Science. It doesn't make it a quality school all-around. It makes you good at touching cow's asses and playing in shit.

Texas will try to hold the Big 12 together as long as they can to maximize profit on the LHN.

I seriously hope Texas can keep the Big 12 together. It makes me sick, but my Jayhawks (and most of the conference) need Texas.

 

[Irish]

Tennessee has a top 3 architecture program in the nation.

Well that is pretty much it.

Someone begs to differ...

I heard a stat the other day that Vandy is the only team in the SEC in the last 20 years who has not been convicted of a major violation in Football.


I think TAMU and one more school will come to the SEC in the next two years, just a hunch though.

The Texas Network or whatever its called obliterated the Big 12, deal with it. It creates a retardedly unfair advantage for one school and they will be independent within 5 years. Im aware Dodd has said UT wont go independent on his watch, but id be willing to bet it happens anyway.

Don't be surprised when Mack Brown is AD within 5 years. It's certainly the plan.

Yeah and Will Muschamp will be the coach too, right?

Have you ever seen a Miami fan or former player or booster deny it?

Luke would openly still pay players, proudly, if someone would let him near the program again.

Our last coach was his former BAG MAN for Christ's sake.

Hah. Touche.

I doubt Mack coaches for more than 5 years. I doubt he coaches more than 3 more, honestly.
