I noticed that today, on the way home from work. My initial reaction was "ALL RIGHT!!!". My next thought was, " I wonder who funded that sign".

Poor aggies are so geographically challenged. Mercy. That billboard is likely to Soften Every Cucumber. Yes, who would pay for that? Money well wasted.

I agree... who would pay for that??

Ag's are gonna surprise a few folks... we'll take a few beatings, but at least it'll be at the big boys table. I say we have an overall winning record this year, and Sumlin starts raking recruits like no old white coach ever has in CS...

If nothing else, our guys will be good rappers...

Aggies are going to get demolished in the Sec, will be lucky to win 6 games next year. It killed the great Aggie-Longhorn rivalry, they wont play each other for a few years until non conference schedules will allow it. Worst move ever, but it must get old being in the the shadow of UT.

I don't see the Horns setting up any play dates with us after 7 years of the Ags playing big boy ball. We'll be a powerhouse in 4 years, guaranteed. If the Horns wanted to keep the rivalry going, they would make it work.

Texas A&M has talked to Texas about future games, but the Longhorns have told them that their non-conference schedule is filled through the 2018 season.

I will take that bet on a powerhouse. Horns did not want anything to do with the SEC. Never have, never will. I would call that sign a nice eye opener and to me a recruiting reminder. I would say that was money well spent for A&M.

Aggies couldn't win in the Big 12. Not sure how they think the move to the SEC will help. Good for them though. I wish them all the best, but I am reminded of the old "cut of nose to spite face".

At least now they can be the premier research university in their new conference.

The Aggies are gonna get bullied in the SEC. No other way around it. Get prepared for a long season

Who the hell are the aggies?

Don't mean a thing to me.
