OU Rumors Picking Up

Posted on: September 3rd, 2011 by SECAG 2 Comments

Here on the eve of the greatest day of the year – College Football Day – rumors have started to spread that Oklahoma University is starting to shop around for a new conference of their own.

David Boren, the President of OU, has been widely reported as having said, “The Big 12 is not the same Big 12, I was extremely disappointed when Nebraska departed. Disappointed when Colorado departed.” The future of the Big 12-2-1 is clearly looking bleak, which could be a great thing for us Aggies. With no conference to pay, we could be able to jump to the SEC free and clear of the hefty exit fees that many have projected.

Mr. Boren has also set up a fairly quick time frame for any move or announcements to be made by OU, saying, “My experience is that, in these kinds of things, it might be a matter of 72 hours, it might be a matter of two weeks, I don’t really think this is something that’s going to linger on beyond two or three weeks, from the outside.”

This is some big news from the giant that has been lurking in the shadows of TU, and should be a very interesting story to watch unfold in the next couple of weeks as we may be finally seeing the crumbling of the Big 12.

For more of what Mr. Boren had to say…Boren on Big 12, OU’s future in it.

Dear SEC,

Just stop it already. I don’t wanna hear about how glad you are to have The Texas Aggies in your conference. I’m sick of seeing your guest names on my websites. I Hate you. I don’t need your historical citations of conference brotherhood. I don’t care that we let you have a couple of our coaches. And I don’t want you posting SEC SEC SEC! on my facebook wall.

You think I’m starting this relationship off on the wrong foot?? False. I’m starting it off on the right foot. With more unimaginable hate than your feeble brain can calculate.

This is what I know to be true, quantifiable, empirical, irrevocable FACT: NO ONE LOVES THE TEXAS AGGIES. In the history of the world, no man has ever loved the Aggies that loves another school. “No man can serve two masters.” -The Bible.

And we’ve worked for decades to position ourselves like that and maintain said position.

You don’t respect me or my brothers. You see me as an opportunity, not a challenge. You don’t see majestic Maroon, you see greed green. You think just because you bought a month’s worth of our TexAgs that you can just come on in bang my wife? And now you think I’m just gonna let you into TEXAS and bang my recruits too?? Well, fuck you.

I don’t want to callabo hate for the sips with you, bc you don’t hate the sips like I do. I buried the greatest Aggie I’ve ever known last year on a t.u. pennant, because the guy hated the sips so intensely. Blind hatred, gentlemen. A man who well into his 80s couldn’t look a horn in the eye because he knew they were vile and untrustworthy. Hell, you probably own something in your house that is some shade of orange? Ha! No, no, you don’t hate sips like I do.

Some Razorback cock wrinkle had the audacity to proclaim yesterday that after the hate on the field, he likes to drink and eat with the other SEC teams and party. Well, I don’t want an invite. I’m not going to Baton Rouge to have a beignet and wax nostalgic about the time they fucked with our bank roll. I’m not gonna draw some blurred parallel between Auburn and myself, because we’re both products of a land grant Agriculture and Mechanical Colleges. They’re not like me. They work for me.

I’m not going to Gainesville to take a picture with Tim Tebow. And I’m not gonna spell words like “Tibeaux”, because that shit doesn’t make phonetic sense to me. I’m a Texas man, goddammit. With tha sausage, and the fried eggs, and the T-bone steaks.

We, The Texas Aggies are gonna grace whatever Conference WE decide will benefit US the most. We’re 100 MILLION cockstrong, rabid, bloodthirsty fans. With loaded wallets and vacation days abundant.

If the Aggies are playin on the moon, you bet your sweet ass, we’re comin too. Even if the moon signed the #1 class in the nation and we’re 100 pt. dogs. We’re buyin the officially licensed bowl shirts, before the game, and Carter Beauford is gonna lead Yell Practice from the Aitken Basin.

I hate that you conned us into Fran. I hate that you got Championships out of Coach Bryant. I hate Schula Steak Houses. I hate croakies, I hate boat shoes, and I hate North Face. I’m gonna make a mess in all your bars, talk loudly, flex my ripped Aggie guns, and feed your women from the flow of my loins.

So you can cool it will the wolf in sheep’s clothing act. You and everyone of your patronizing SEC pals.

We’re not coming to your league to drink beer with you. We’re coming to your league to kick your asses and then steal your beer and then pour it out and drink Lone Star.

Yeah. It’s like this and like that, motherfuckers,

-BB_05

 

All’s Quiet on the Eastern Front

Posted on: August 17th, 2011 by SECAG No Comments

There was very little rumors or information flying around the internet yesterday, so not much new to look at or think about at this point beyond all the same information.  I’m not even sure how to take this quiet except to hope that it means the work is being done and the two sides are being great about keeping all information in house for a change.  I’m still very hopeful and excited to hear when the announcement is made.

In the mean time to fill time I made myself a new schedule screensaver for our last season in the Big 12/10/9 and am posting it here in case any of you would like it as well.  For now the the only size I’ve made is 1920×1200.  If you would like a new size or even have change suggestions, let me know and I’ll get others put up as well.

8-16-2011 Recap

Posted on: August 16th, 2011 by SECAG No Comments

Here is a pretty good recap on where everything stands right now by Brent Zwerneman of the San-Antonio Express.

“Aggies Inching Closer to SEC”

So Close I Can Taste It

Posted on: August 12th, 2011 by SECAG No Comments

It looks like things have really picked over the last few days with renewed talks of Texas A&M leaving the little 12 for the SEC! Of course this is all going on while I am on vacation with little Internet access and more than enough fishing to distract me. I’ve been trying to catch up each night but know I’m not even close to keeping up with everything that is being said. Here is one nice little article/blog dispelling some myths that are swirling about the whole situation.

Dispelling 5 Myths of SEC Expansion

I hope when I get back to town on Sunday to wade through a lot of what has been written and put some stuff together here. Maybe if we are really lucky I’ll have to get my thoughts together on the move being finally announced, but I won’t count on it just yet.

Aggies to the SEC hope will never die!

Posted on: July 14th, 2011 by SECAG No Comments

Here is a recent great article that was written by Billy Luicci of Texags.com. In it he discusses the current Aggies to the SEC climate:

Will A&M trigger the next realignment explosion?

Some articles on this new situation

Posted on: July 29th, 2010 by SECAG No Comments

Houston Chronicle – “A&M says Big 12 must fulfill pledge”

San Antonio Express – “Aggies to Big 12: Honor your promise”

Dallas Morning New – “A&M president: Big 12 should honor $20 million offer”

Just as I had cooled off…

Posted on: July 29th, 2010 by SECAG No Comments

the rumbles are starting to be heard again. Now, I’ll wait till I have some more information from this whole situation, but it looks like there is a small ray of hope beginning to appear in the Aggies to the SEC camp! With the Ags holding firm in our stance on the money deal that was worked out to stay in the Little XII, it looks like they are trying to back out and pull a fast one. Well the Aggie brass needs to really hold firm to their original call that if the deal is changed at all we’re out of here!!

Like I said, I haven’t had a chance to really look at all the goings on so there may be nothing to this, but I’ll be reading up and getting back to you as soon as I get a chance. Keep the hope alive!

Arkansas to Little XII

Posted on: June 17th, 2010 by SECAG No Comments

If the rumors about Arkansas putting out feelers to the Little XII are true, can we just trade places? I think that would make everyone happy. Arkansas would be out of the SEC. We’d be in the SEC. And lastly, Texas would still get to control the Little XII like they want, without us to get in their way or share their “guaranteed” money.

I really think this would be the best for everyone. Just a thought.

So Tired

Posted on: June 17th, 2010 by SECAG No Comments

Sorry I’ve fallen behind on posting some of the great articles and information I’ve run across, but I got tired of it all. Not tired of the idea af the Ags to the SEC, or the hope that some day it will happen, but tired of all the stories and talk of what happened and what COULD have happened. I’m so sick of hearing about the longhorns and how they set this up for the last 6 months and screwed everyone all at once by backing out like a small child when something didn’t go their way. Tired of hearing how great it would have been. Extremely tired of hearing the talk of these “guaranteed” dollars that are coming our way when we could have had the guaranteed money and stability of the best conference in the nation.

I do think this is just a band aid on the problem that is the horns in the big twelve, and I will look forward to the fine day that the Texas A&M Aggies join the SEC.

Anyway, I’m heading out of the country for the next two weeks, so maybe when I get back I’ll either be suprised by something changing and my Ags SEC bound, or all talk will have died down completely. Either way when I return I’ll be refreshed and ready to continue my campaign for the Texas A&M Aggies to the SEC!
