Welcome to the BIG TIME Texas A&M!….now, who’s gonna be next?
Posted by UFreak in 
A mere “wag of a finger” now separates the Texas A&M Aggies from becoming full fledged members of the most DOMINANT College Sports Conference on the planet! The concern over ”which” Big12/10 bitch institution(Baylor) is trying to be a speed bump in the process aside, the only open question is; “Which lucky team gets to make it 14?”….”or, 14, 15 and 16!?”…
The most talked about teams have been FSU and Virginia Tech…..but, Virginia Tech used up their owed favor getting into the ACC over Syracuse a few (several) years ago. Its believed they still have an ongoing “oral” obligation to some Senator, that they are still working to pay off (slurp-slop!). VTech is a strong program in Football, but an edgy liability in the other sports. Not “my” favorite option by any means!
FSU, as most know, owns a competitive nature in many of the sports disciplines! Their problem is that they’ve never cherished the competitive posture of the SEC. Teams are expected to battle for dominance in the SEC, in each sport – and FSU has shied away from confrontation like that, at least “in conference”. You might recall that when they DID seek out a conference, back in the early 90′s, they purposely chose the ACC because it offered absolutely NO resistance in anything but basketball; -a sport FSU could have cared less about back then! BUT!, times, they do-a-change, and maybe the testicles in Tallahassee have finally dropped?..Maybe they ARE ready to compete in every sport and at a high level!?? So, the question to those in charge at FSU is: “Do you FINALLY possess enough nuts to join a fully functioning conference, or is your vagina STILL telling you to pass!?
Some young-buck FSU fans will note that FSU ranked in the top 5 (in Football) for a record 15 YEARS!…..Ah, but that was in the ACC! Also recall that they “only” won 2 natty’s as a result of those 15 straight top 5 finishes! Why do you think that was?….That’s right, cup-cake scheduling!; – a’la Boise State.
When you only PLAY one tough game a year, its not as demanding as playing in a conference that generally has MORE ranked teams than any other conference (check current Football Polls)….The same conference that owns 9 Football Titles in the past 18 seasons, by FIVE different teams! (Florida 3, Bammer 2, LSU 2, Tennessee 1, Auburn 1)??…Still wonder why TAMU petitioned?
So, Maybe VTech (but I hope not) and “maybe” FSU, or Clemson?..Who else?….Pitt?….Jawja Tech?…UCF,…USF?….UC (another of my hopefuls)?…..There are a lot of hopefuls, but “how many” and “who is the best” (fit) still are questions?
Its not easy to compliment THE established SEC teams, and TAMU, -admittedly. The only thing Notre Dame has is a rabid (and mostly un-demanding) fan base. They throw out token efforts in Football and Basketball, but suck butt in everything else. Still, in the long-term of things, with Texas moving to the Big10-12 or the Pac12-16, it might be worth a look?….It might at least make economic sense to throw a feeler out to ND!??….Of course, even the ND brass know they’d NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER!…win any SEC Title…so, very unlikely they’ll even return the phone call!…hahahahahahaha!
