BOL Round Table

That sounds gay. And, yes, I'm still out of downvotes so I'm going to do the upvote thing again while informing you that my upvote represents a downvote. Please subtract 2 from your post rating or whatever it's called to see the true value.

As it turns out, I'm out of upvotes too, so you should only subtract 1 from your post rating.

As it turns out, it takes roughly 30 up or down votes to make my overall rating budge a single point. But do your best.

To be serious, I was excited about A&M coming on board, with the addition of a 14th team. Whether or not you guys like it, chances are it will happen sooner or later. Maybe not A&M, but it will.

Yea that makes a lot of sense.

Agree 100%

"The one thing I have grown to hate is the abundance of stupid/ignorant fans we have."

You should be careful who you call "stupid/ignorant". You just had 12 SEC school presidents that voted against your opinion that TAMU is good for our conference.

I agree. If we knew for sure that super conferences were going to be formed and I believe this to be true, then why wouldn't we want to add the 4 best teams possible? I would want to add, Texas, Oklahoma, FSU and one of the next 3 (Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Clemson). Can you imagine the TV deal that could be struck if you had these programs added to the SEC? There would always be an SEC game the would command and demand prime time coverage.

Only way TAMU is big brother in Texas is if UT gets death penalty.

Exactly the problem with his argument. There might be a few reasonable people who disagree with him, but they are wrong because they disagree with him. Meanwhile, there are no ignorant or embarrassing people who agree with him, um, because they agree with him and are thus enlightened, informed, and intelligent, notwithstanding the fact that TAMU is just another middle-of-the-road Auburn or Arkansas, not an Alabama, Florida, Oklahoma, or Texas. They're objectively smart because they're objectively right; they're objectively right because they subjectively agree with him.

That's not it at all. You clearly didn't read my post just a few above yours that I am quoting. I said this:

"I don't believe that those who disagree with me are idiots. I was saying that those who give ignorant, baseless reasons to exclude A&M are idiots (the reasons I listed in my OP). I welcome all dissenting opinions and some people on the other side actually made some solid points, although I still maintain my original position. I was simply saying that we have many unintelligent fans that make us look bad."

Also, I see the likelihood that A&M would be an Arkansas or Auburn as an advantage and a good reason to add them. Adding Texas or Oklahoma doesn't help anything because it makes the conference too much harder to win. Adding Baylor does no good because they suck. A&M is the perfect middle ground. JMO.
