SEC unanimously votes to extend membership invitations to Texas, Oklahoma

[Padreruf]

I figured UT is trying to get away from Baylor -- they are only 5-6 over the last 11 years against one of the historically weaker D1 teams...

Also why it might be best, in distinguishing them from the Toxvillians (UcheaT), to refer to the teasipping newcomers who don't matter much on the CFB landscape and haven't for 50 years, as UmooT.

...Texas is Georgia with uglier uniforms and bigger mouths, which seems impossible.

Everything the uninitiated need to know about UTx...

Currently watching the Oklahoma Board meeting. Looks like its going to be unanimous as well on the OU side.

 

[OUGuy1999]

Votes are in all in favor, SEC here we come.

Watching the Oklahoma board meeting, just from what was being said and how things were done, this definitely was all planned and all of this was just formalities and this was gonna happen regardless at some point.

I agree with all but the statement about Texas having more resources...Georgia is the "only dog" in a state that produces tons of high caliber players every year. Yes, they are poached off by others...but UGA ought to be picking who they want in their home state. They have no financial limitations...none.

You are correct that they have played in a tougher conference...and imho that has made them stronger, not weaker.

georgia is always loaded with big time talent and has been for a long time.

you can compare that with their record and draw your own conclusions

It has been their year for 41 years and counting.

Texags forum is amazing right now.

At least they have some players they can interview for $$$.

 

[BamaNation]

So as a forum, where do we stand on the rivalry of aggy vs tu?

Destroy both. Let God sort'em out.

 

[2003TIDE]

Ok so any thoughts on how the divisions are going to shake out? Are we going to kick Auburn over to the east?

Given that there has only been one game in the last 40 years, there's not really much tradition...

The SEC, meanwhile, has solidified its standing as the top conference in college sports. The league has now grown to include 16 total members, including 11 of the top 17 revenue-generating universities in the NCAA, per USA Today's most-recent database of athletic department finances. The league officially announced the addition of the two schools Friday with a statement touting the academic and athletic success of each university.

…this was gonna happen irregardless at some point.

Welcome OUGuy. As you transition to the SEC, you’ll need to learn some new “words.” See above…

Those 3 loses in the Coach Bryant era are tough. We should have won each game and likely did win the '65 Orange Bowl. Instant replay probably gives Namath the TD near the end of the game. But even the two Cotton Bowls, I think we led late.
