Welcome to all the new Sooners, Longhorns, & Aggies

[BamaNation]

Lots of new signups over the last week and we want to extend a warm TideFans welcome to you all! Just a reminder that on this site, we try to elevate the discussion high above the gutter talk you'll see elsewhere. Also, it's a BAMA site so take your altercations outside

Lots of experienced and knowledgeable members across the SEC & college football spectrum here can hopefully attest to the fact that they're welcome so long as they remain civil. Put another way, we welcome your discussion and even disagreements - so long as they follow the culture that has been established over this site's 22+ year existence. So far, I'm liking what I'm seeing!

Again, welcome. It should be a fun time until OU/TX are actually in the conference.

I would also encourage you to change your avatars to something representing you / your team.

Yes, welcome. Dive on in, but read the FAQ first - this isn't run like most CFB boards...

 

[NationalTitles18]

Welcome! For a prolonged stay, leave any and all trash talking and profanity outside the door.

I have a feeling our Longhorn visitors will like the "Hat thread"...

Welcome aboard, Horns and Sooners!

 

[Crimson1967]

A hearty welcome to new members. We have one loyal poster who is a grad and a fan of Auburn, so we are a pretty tolerant bunch. Just be prepared to have a thick skin when it comes to comments and jokes about your school.

Seems they are shy boss. BTW, Did you hear they are ripping up the turf at DK Royal Stadium in Austin and replacing it with cardboard? The Longhorns always look great on paper.

Welcome to the two new members of the SEC family. I will, of course still pull for my favorite teams but I will support Texas and Oklahoma if they are representing the SEC in out of conference games and in the BCS playoffs. Welcome to the SEC family -- but I am not passing out cigars.

 

[selmaborntidefan]

I can already tell. May have to bring back some previous actions, I guess we'll see.

We're not really welcoming the Texas fans, though, are we?

Reluctantly, I suspect.

Alabama athletics welcomes Texas and Oklahoma into the SEC

Texas and Oklahoma’s hopes of joining the SEC officially became a reality on Friday when the conference accepted the two universities into the league. Shortly following the announcement University of Alabama President Stuart R. Bell and athletic director Greg Byrne both released statements...

Welcome to Texas and Oklahoma!! I may not have supported the idea of Texas coming to the SEC, but now that its done they will soon be family, so I will pull for both of them (once playing in the SEC) whenever they are out of conference. That said, I hope Texas gets their butts whooped a lot in conference!! LOL

This is like welcoming people to church that you don't really like...you try to act nice but it doesn't come off well....

You are on a roll bro, keep it up!

 

[wishbonesooner]

I'm not exactly new, as a matter of fact I got a message congratulating me for being here 20 years. Kudos to all of you for tolerating a Sooner for that long. I think you'll find most Sooner fans, I said most, are pretty good folks. I can't say the same for the bunch down south though.

Kind of like saying “Good to see ya!” to the drunk uncle that always says something inappropriate over Thanksgiving dinner, huh?

Our benevolent dictator started this thread, so that's a resounding yes!
