Well you can say that some SEC games are boring. The field-goal contest between LSU - Miss State was nothing to write home about.
A thought just occurred to me, if I were Baylor, I'd be worried about adding BYU/TCU. I mean, one of Baylor's biggest assets to the conference was being its only private institution (for financial reasons). Now they no longer serve that purpose. And I'm not sure, but the conflicting religious affiliations may bother some people in Waco/Provo?
I was thinking that it might be a problem for our basketball program since it gets a lot of nice prospects from the Dallas area.
Field goal contest?! That sounds to me like some FOOTBALL! And I'm HAAAUUUNGGGRY for some FOOTBALL! Mighty, mighty kind-a HUNGGGEERRRR. Been starving tryin' to make it off this tofu and lettuce y'all call the "Big" 12.
TCU "moving on up the list" of teams for #10 spot in the Big 12. BYU "may no longer be interested" according to Chimp.
The religious aspect wont cause any problems on either side. Maybe a little friendly rivalry. BYU fans are good people, they're going to be a HUGE addition to the conference. Solid replacement for TAMU, if not a better one -- although the "fit" isn't exactly that great IMO. But they're an asset.The Big 12 should feel lucky if they do land them. The problem will be scheduling around them. Everyone got pissed off at UT's demands. Wait til' they get a load of BYU's. No Sunday games in any sport, etc...
They have 3 wins. They are no where near the top of the big 12. They have not beaten anyone. You are weighing 3 games of beating crappy teams to 10 years of sucking. Which one do you think is a better representation of the program?
Fake Dan Beebe goes off. Spoiler THIS IS WHAT YOU BASTARDS WANTED AND THIS IS WHAT YOU GET DANNY DID NOTHING BUT HUSTLE FOR YOU BIG 12 AND THIS IS THE THANKS I GET, A FORCED RESIGNATION JUST SO OKLAHOMA WILL STOP BEING BUTTHOLES.

IT LOOKS LIKE BABY POOP TEXAS IS GOING TO BE LONELY FOREVER AND THAT'S STILL A FATE BETTER THAN IT DESERVES NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR EYES. YOU STOLE THAT SONG FROM A CHILDRENS SONG RT @chisoxfan30: @DanBeebe the eyes of Texas are upon you. #hookem THE EYES OF TEXAS ARE UPONNN YOUU... ALLLL THE LIVE LONG DAYYYYYY. YOU HAVE TO SING YOUR FIGHT SONG ALONG TO "I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE RAILROAD" AND YOU EXPECT ANYBODY TO TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CITY OF AUSTIN DID TO DESERVE HAVING SUCH A HORRIBLE BUNCH OF HYPER-PRIVILEGED BRATS OVERTAKE IT BUT IT CAN'T BE GOOD. CAN WE NUKE AUSTIN? IS THAT APPROPRIATE? IT'S PROBABLY APPROPRIATE I'M OUT. I'M NEVER COMMISSIONERING ANOTHER CONFERENCE EVER AGAIN. COLLEGE SPORTS ARE TO COLLEGE WHAT GENITAL WARTS ARE TO GENITALS ENJOY YOUR MISERABLE LITTLE CONFERENCE, "BIG 12." I HOPE YOU FAIL. I'M OUT. GOODBYE.
They're ranked in the top 10, you'd prefer to go off of what? An octopus' prediction? TAMU is nowhere near the top of the Big 12? Okay, I'm sure everyone in their right mind would agree with you. I'm not even saying TAMU is all that, I'm saying the Big 12 gave me cancer. You want to compare 10 years of TAMU sucking (I guess multiple Cotton Bowls constitutes sucking these days) to what... ZERO years of history of the Big 12 being a viable conference without Nebraska, TAMU and Colorado. You've got 2 programs, one of which is in a slump (fair enough, it happens) and you think that's special? 1. UT 2. OU 3. OSU 4. Tech 5. Kansas 6. Kansas State? vs what... 1. Bama 2. LSU 3. Auburn 4. Florida 5. Tennesse 6. Georgia 7. TAMU 8. Arkansas 9. South Carolina 10. Ole Miss 11. Mississippi State *STILL BETTER THAN THE BIG 12's 4th MOST "Prestigious" PROGRAM* Or how about... 1. tOSU 2. Michigan 3. PSU 4. Nebraska 5. MSU 6. Iowa 7. Wisconsin I can keep going... And don't give me that whole -- PSU, Michigan, Georgia, Tennesse, Iowa, etc... are down schtick -- BECAUSE GUESS WHAT sucky-boy, UT is DOWN. And current status has no barring on overall program worth and prestige. Powerhouse conferences baby. Thank Beebe for leaving the Big 12 out of the mix. Spoiler sucker
Do you understand that those rankings are make believe? They are just pulled out of everyones ass. They mean nothing right now. At the end of the day, A&M has played 2 games against bad opponents along with the rest of college football for the most part. Saying they are at the top of the conference is not based on anything tangible. What the hell does this even mean? I've called you out before when you just name random schools and claim they are so much better programs. Based on what? When you play the same schools over and over you lose that personified perception that you still have for the schools you don't deal with. The Big 12 has had 5 teams in the championship in the last 10 or 11 years. OU even got the nod over an undefeated Auburn team. UT is down? They had one bad year. They were the winingest program in the 10 years before that and the team this year is promising. Way 1 year at UT against 10 years at A&M. As I said, you are NOT at the top of the big 12. You haven't been in forever. You are not going to the SEC with any amount of steam. You were average in a good conference and you are going into the best conference in college football. Be honest with yourself.
Hope you didn't think by top I meant #1, sure you're not that big of sucker. Then again... maybe you are. The moment you try and tell me Tech holds a candle to the 6th best team in the Big 10 or SEC I'll know you're a sucker. Those "make believe" rankings actually wind up counting. Also, us humans use them as a gauge. Your fairytale-fantasy-wonderland opinions probably do hold more merit than the thoughts of the media and college football coaches. I left Mizzou of the list? Maybe I'm thinking about taking em' with me. Go-go-gig'm-LEGS!
Put your money where your mouth is. Tell me the 6th best team in the Big 12 is as valuable of a program as the 6th best team in the SEC. There's a reason none of the real conferences give Boise State the time of day, meanwhile you have conferences tucking their dicks between their legs trying to land Notre Dame... go ahead though. Say it. Back your stance. General Acbar awaits.
Typical Aggie arrogance..Next year the excuses will be "But we're in a harder conference!" or "we lost our top qb/rb/wr!"
You aren't getting it. You have played 2 games. 2 games. 2 games. Hopefully repeating that will help you make sense of everything. The rankings are meaningless because it is so early in the season and no one has played anyone. Most teams have at least played 3. A&M has played 2. At the end of the season, you will have 6 or 7 conference champions. Either the winner of the SEC, Big 10, Big 12, Pac 12, ACC or Notre Dame will be in the championship game. It makes no difference what you are ranked right now especially when you have only played Idaho and SMU.
Dude. Go back and read. Do you even have a clue what I'm arguing? Your argument is that TAMU wont be near the top of the Big 12. Which means what? They finish 5th? Say they'll finish 5th then. I'm saying the Big 12 is weak. Just get outta here baby dick. You're making a fool of yourself and none of the good posters are here to laugh. At least save up some energy for tomorrow morning.
