The bad thing is that there isn't a single desirable roady outside of Tampa if that is the new confy.  Would still take though.

clearwater beach (the sand part of it) is probably the nicest in all of florida.

ETPfamily has a condo in St. Pete. We could PAK for free right on the bay.

Meh, would take

I'd take it as a consolation prize too, though it would be embarrassing getting drilled by TCU annually.

Side note: how hilarious would it be if A&M bailed for the SEC, only to have Texas follow them over there, LOLing in their ear the whole way?

Don't screw this up this year Frank! 


Basketball would be thrilled about bringing three Top 25 programs and makes the Big East the de facto number 1 basketball conference in the nation

I want Texas A&M to crap or get off of the pot.

Just put A&M on to the road to complete football insignificance if they go to the SEC.    Neither Arkansas nor South Carolina has won an SEC football title since joining that conference, and while they've both played for SEC titles, they've pretty much been blown out.

I want to tell us we're totally mumped, but in a humorous way.

If you were Oklahoma or Texas A&M and you had a golden ticket to the SEC in hand, would you go?  It might be fun to get stuck in that pipe that sucks up the river of chocolate.

I don't believe I saw anything in there about the involvement or impact about the Texas legislature, so I can't take any article seriously that doesn't factor in that variable.  That's just a person who looks at sports in a vacuum and assumes that teams can come and go as they please, which is completely untrue.

Also, if A&M is really hurt about what's going on, and their usual whining about not being elite becomes more insufferable than it usually is, I suggest we work with the SEC and do a straight up trade: A&M for Arkansas.

Texas gives us the entire state as they're the biggest team in all parts of the state not named College Station.  We really gain nothing by keeping them.  We'd be transferring one UT rival for another, and the SEC would get the Texas footprint and we'd get an Arkansas footprint.  Win, win, win, win, win, etc.

If you make the money right, I'm sure you could make a case.

   They had a pretty good season if I recall correctly.

the very notion of Arkansas even considering leaving the best football conference in the country for the sinking ship that is the b12 is laughable.

Ye$ they are thriving. Also, they constantly laugh at the Big 12. Humiliating.
