Do appreciate the respect for MIZ. It hasn't felt this good to be a Tigers fan in years. And being a proud member of the SEC, we want to hold up the NIL of SEC football !

[@jessesewell7922]

SC’s Defense and Running Backs will be much improved over last year. Talent on the O-Line is being massively upgraded. SC is headed in the right direction and might have the SEC’s top pass rush defense in 2024.

[@jessesewell7922]

@Berley_1234 true. Gotta make a statement at Kentucky

[@followword6452]

Oklahoma was the best team in the Big 12 since forever they are underrated for sure, and Missouri has resources they ain't going anywhere., they haven't had a coach since Gary Pinkle well they have one now.

[@davidcates2639]

First off, congrats to Tennessee for their well-earned baseball championship. To all the t.u. fans that I know will be commenting on this and calling me "little brother" and "clown" - go ahead! Enjoy your two moments of glory, you absolutely pulled one off on us. To everyone else, know that this is how t.u. treats everybody, not just us. And know that this just lit a fire at A&M. This isn't thirty years ago. We're no longer a school with no connections and no power; we have more Fortune 100 CEOs than any other school in the country. Checkbooks are about to open to make sure A&M athletics, for baseball but also football doesn't go anywhere. Don't be surprised if t.u. fans get treated at A&M the way Tech or LSU treats people. A&M alumni are tired of this bullshit, and they're about to flex a little bit. Short term? This may well be an incredible move for t.u. Judas Schlossnagle is one hell of a baseball coach, and anyone who says otherwise is talking out their ass. Long term, though? This may prove to have been a mistake. Time will tell, nothing is certain in sports, but if A&M fails, it will never be for lack of buy-in from the fans, ever again. This means war. This rivalry just became the most bitter in all of sports. Ohio and Michigan, or the Iron Bowl, are going to *pale* in comparison to November 30th at Kyle field this year.

[@seansmith117]

Take a breath. You say this is how Texas treats everybody. Yes, we try to upgrade coaches when necessary and if they are the coach elsewhere, we try to offer a better package for them to come to Austin. If your program doesn't do that, you need a better AD. You're mad because you lost your coach, but this doesn't make you special - it happens to all but a handful of programs. The bitterness of the rivalry is pretty one-way and most people outside of College Station see it for what it is. ATM hates Texas. Texas sees ATM as an in-state rival (and our second or third rival overall), but we don't hate them. It's not bitter. A hammer doesn't hate a nail. Maybe if your fan base carries out these threats of violence I've seen it will become bitter (and based on the comments about Florida's young bat boy, y'all might), but for now you're just another team who got big mad when we took their coach.

[@davidcates2639]

@@seansmith117 Such a tired line. "We don't care about y'all" - which is why we're in your fight song. It's also really telling that you're blaming this on our AD. We offered Schloss a $3 million salary, he had everything he claimed to want coming in stadium renovations; this isn't our admin's fault, this is Schloss never giving us a chance. This has nothing to do with "offering better" - let me know when the Disch-Falk renovations start because I sure haven't seen anything - and everything to do with CDC and Schloss having a bromance. Oh, and find another way to handle the rivalry.

[@seansmith117]

@@davidcates2639 I didn't say we don't care about ATM - I said that ATM was a rivalry. It's just not hate-filled on the Texas side. Texas reserves its hate for Oklahoma. I didn't blame your AD for losing Schloss; I said that you can't be upset that CDC did his job because any AD would do the same and if yours wouldn't, then you should get another AD. Texas "offered better" by being Texas.

[@Tony-mr1iv]

If what you’re saying is true, being in the SEC will humble Texas fans a lot. We have Alabama and Georgia fans on stand by to rip them a new one. They’re always ready 😂😂 But good game, that A&M baseball team was great and it was a great series. I think you guys will be just fine.

You can find great BBQ in every state in the South. You can find good BBQ outside of the South, but it's not as plentiful there. Just pick your style. Texas brisket, Kansas City, St. Louis ribs, Memphis ribs, Eastern Carolina and Western Carolina are all great BBQ styles.

[@tylerwalker5607]

Continuing to have Texas 2 is completely wild. Texas is the biggest flops over the last 20 yrs

[@eemanuel4655]

Not many Texas fans have thought Texas was going to great in the last 10 years... most fan sites were hoping for 8-9 wins... we had some recruiting classes around 20 and a few in the teens . SOMEHOW the national media keeps saying we had top 5 classes for 15 years straight.. Last year was the first year, In many years, with fan sites and fans thinking 10 wins was very possible.. and it was.. The media keeps this narrative going.. most realistic fans knew we were at best a top 25 program. The past 3 classes have been top 5-7.. so now 10 wins seems realistic...

Made the playoff last year, is returning a loaded roster and has arguably the most talented roster in the SEC. Stay salty, 🤡.

Your bottom 8 looks pretty good. Funny how texas has 7 of those 8 schools on their schedule. If OU and texas ends up with the same conference record or texas with a worse record... that's a loss for texas and would be kinda embarrassing for them. SEC schedule makers set them up nicely. OU is use to getting screwed on scheduling. Last season, OU played 3 or 4 teams coming off of their bye's.

[@FredPitre-o4b]

Not sure how the xii sets up their schedule. SEC allows the schools to ask for specific dates for open date. Not really up to schedule makers to put open dates wherever they want.

[@FredPitre-o4b]

LSUs schedule sets up perfect to make an SEC/playoff run. As stated the 3 TOUGHEST games are all in Death Valley. Tigers NOT losing all 3. Might even get 2. In his 1st year CBK beat both joey freshwater and saban in BR. As for the other 9 games. CBK has LSU in a better spot than the other 9 head coaches have their respective teams. LSU defense will improve plenty PLENTY more than what the offense regresses. LAST time LSU lost 1st round QB and 2 1st round WRs. Very next season LSU won the whole kit and caboodle. Led by an offense that INCREASED in PPG.

I think UTX beats UGA in Austin, then lose in Atlanta, then meet again, in Atlanta again. The only one that matters is the last one if UGA or UTX is 1-2 against the other it only matters if the win was in what I am calling the SEC playoff tournament (they call it CFP for some reason) I am happy with SEC Mike not liking Texas (please learn to pronounce it, and smile when you say that) because we have everything to prove. I don't want automatic respect, that is not real. You have to earn respect. But, the last time we played UGA we beat em pretty good..

[@colbykile5225]

Alabama roster is still loaded its alabama. They're still gonna be just as good. Texas is gonna have 4 losses watch and see. It's gonna be Georgia. 2 Alabama. 3 ole miss or oklahoma vise versa. Then Missouri just because of a cupcake schedule then lsu or Tennessee they both have new qbs. Then texas. Then who cares after that. I think auburn could be alot better than people think as well

@Tony-mr1iv brother. . . Last year they played 3 top teir teams and only won 1. . . Please tell me how that's a good year. I remember UCF going undefeated 2yrs in a row and still got snuffed from the playoffs both years. Why? Because strength of schedule. Texas had a great year vs no one's. They lost to Washington and to Oklahoma and only beat Alabama. Sure that's not to bad. But I wouldn't say anyone near great like what everyone is saying. Also they historically have fallen apart the year after "coming back"

They have talent in the running back room, one of the better tight end rooms in the SEC, One of the better wide receiver rooms in the SEC, and Added a 5 star QB.
