Oh, so since I made you look like a moron you are changing your argument. I should have seen that one coming.
-
You are [expletive] clueless. Our football program has been down, but it is on the way back up. A 9-win season wouldn't surprise me this year. We still have work to do to catch Texas and OU. WTF is "qualifying" in regards to baseball? A&M won the conference tournament and were 1 win away from a Super Regional match-up with #3 Florida. And if you think think we suck at basketball, you may be too stupid to breathe. We are one of only TWO teams to advance to the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament the past 5 years. Pittsburgh is the other. We are not an elite program yet, but we are now a consistent Top 25 team. Did someone from A&M [expletive] your girlfriend or something?
-
Not from laughing, I'm sure.
-
They had an offer. In fact they were the only school with rumors to the SEC to have an offer. Apparently it is still there if we change our mind or this Fox TV deal for the Mack-10 falls through.
-
I've seen multiple sources say that we had an SEC offer if we wanted to take it.
-
SI's Stewart Mandel's tweets on the Beebe teleconference :banghead:
-
yikes EXACTLY! This guy was pulling numbers out of his ass and we fell for it.
-
I'm still pissed about this. I want all of A&M's leadership replaced. They are spineless, weak, and short sighted. I wonder how long the Mack-10 will survive? Maybe 5 years?
-
I'm hearing Fox from Aggie sources.
-
Texas A&M is staying in the Big 12. I want to [expletive] puke.
-
How in the hell is ESPN going to carry yet another conference's football games?
-
I bet Magic Johnson didn't say that.
-
That very well could be true. 9 votes are needed to dissolve the conference so teams could leave without paying a $10MM fine. With NU and the 6 schools going to the Pac-10, we would need one more school to get to 9. This would be a way to ensure that.
-
I can't believe what I am hearing, but all of a sudden there is a lot of chatter that A&M will in fact stay in the Big 12. I will be extremely pissed if this is true.
-
I was born & raised in the Chicago suburbs. And thank you for complimenting me on my Cubs knowledge.
-
Doesn't matter. It's in the best interest of the state of Texas to keep Texas and aTm playing each other. Where does it say that we have to be in the same conference to play each other? It's not going to say it anywhere, but that's what they want. If the Texas government wants it bad enough, it'll happen. For someone in Michigan, you sure seem to know a lot about the Texas legislature.
-
Chip Brown really needs to stop using words like "committed." Don't blame Chip. The Texas AD tells him what to say.
-
If A&M goes to the SEC and texas, tceh, OU, and OSU go to the Pac-10, it appears that the next Pac-10 target will be Kansas to give them an even 16. Possibly Utah.
-
the conference is a mess right now because the populations of the states involved is much smaller than other high-profile conferences, and the population that is there is heavily weighted toward the south. it's a patchwork organization with one good academic school, several decent schools and a few bad ones. texas is far and away the best school in the conference in both athletics and academics, so why shouldn't they hold more of the power? You highly underestimate the athletics and academics of Texas A&M. I realize that they are the tops in each category at the moment, but we aren't far behind in either area.

I wasn't around a computer last night, but I had to come and post that I [expletive] hate Juan Pierre even more now. -
In a week's time it went from probably 90% to Pac-10 to 60% to Pac-10 to we have the votes on the Board of Regents for the SEC. Now our insider says Don Beebe is making a huge push to keep the Big 12 afloat that is actually making everyone rethink their moves. Even still, I expect us to bolt to the SEC. If we don't, I will be pissed. There's no way that if Texas commits to the Big 12 lite, the Texas Legislature will let aTm move anywhere. It's not up to the legislature. The state pours a TON of money into it's schools. It sure as hell will be up to them in the long run. They will threaten to pull money, etc. Look at how Baylor tagged along for the ride to the original Big 12. That was a 100% state government move. The 3 didn't want to take Baylor with them, and nobody in the Big 8 wanted to add Baylor. The state of Texas said it was a package deal, take it or leave it, and they HAD to take Baylor into the original Big 12. At that time, the governor was a Baylor grad and the lieutenant governor was a Baylor law grad. The governor now is an Aggie.

If we don't, I will be pissed. Why? Why would I be pissed? I am sick and tired of Texas bullying everyone else around. There is a reason this conference is a mess right now. They want everyone to bow down & kiss their ring and we have enough power to stand up to them once and for all. I'm sure Beebe has made plenty of concessions to convice the horns to stay that would give them an even bigger advantage than they already have.

And Chip Brown drops the bombshell that Texas is willing to commit to a 10-team Big 12. I think this is nothing more than a PR to make us look like the bad guy when we leave for greener pastures. http://texas.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1094038
