LOL MIZZ

[Ty Webb]

Mizzou wouldn't take that game.  They're going get their aMm packed in by enough SEC teams as it is.

Even more reason to offer that challenge publicly and see just how good Mizzou's confidence in their program really is.

Memo to SEC offensive lines: Look out for the spin move.

Interviewed David Ubben right before last season.  He said that aTm would beat Arkansas, that the Texas League was just as good as the SEC because they have been to a bunch of title games, too (he actually said that "the only difference is that the SEC has won a few more), and that while the SEC D's may be a little better, the Texas League O's were so much better that it all evened out.

Think about this -

OU
UT
Mizzou
aTm

It's not just that Mizzou is freakishly delusional...it seems to be a thang in that conference.

That little wizard sleeve also picked K-State over Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl.  He really tells it like it ain't.

"I know a lot of people say that the SEC is the dominant conference, and I think that's debatable."

If it’s not, why did they join then?  Just a stupid, slack-jawed kid.

When I’m up there I feel like I’m out of place north of Joplin.  Missouri just doesn’t belong.  It needs to be post-vetted hard with a southern fried perspective.  Maybe they’ll come around to liking grits one day.

First thing that came to my mind is that he looks like he's leaning over like he's fixin to let out a fart.

I wonder why we do this?  The fart gets disseminated whether you lift a cheek or not.  Resonation?  Aimed fire?

Resonance...metal folding chairs or hard tile floors cannot be beaten when it comes to firing off a loud fart.

Ubben is from Springdale, btw.

We're way too early in this thread to start this...

I think it gives more control to counter the event of Shit-Fart Separator failure.

[Tusk till Dawn]

I live in Missouri, not proud of it, but that's just the way it is. I work with three male die-hard Mizzou fans and none of them could tell you what the hell a pistol formation is, or the difference between an h-back and a traditional fullback, etc... However they can sure as shit rattle off the highlights of Norm Stewart's basketball coaching career and recount how shitty a hire coach Quin Snyder was. They don't care about or know football. They're in for a rude awakening. They'll be put in a corner and kept there. .

I find that if I sit two-cheeks-to-the-chair, I have to push a lot harder, resulting in either undesired auditory performance or accidental pants-shitting.  I have much more control over my vocal performance if I go at it on two wheels, which in an office setting, can be valuable.

[HogTat]

First thing I thought when I saw him.

[Hognarok]

Yeah that'd be real cool if we had Clinton that Razorback on the sidelines.

He could ride around the stadium on a huge cigar and spray the fans down.  Or maybe he could just mingle with the crowd and randomly hand out cigars to hotties.

Well, there ya go. I wondered what his connection to the BIG TEX was, knowing he was from Arkansas.

[FueltoFire]

Ubben is from Springdale, btw.

Shit, I went to school there with a girl named Ubben.  Gotta be some relation, except she's not as fucked up in the head as he is.  She is a UA grad, and pretty die hard hog fan if I remember correctly.

[Das Uberschwein]

In very slight defense of Ubben, I don't think he's the absolute worst of the ESPN Bloggers. Adam Rittenberg is heads and shoulders above below him, imho. And, apparently, doesn't own a comb.

Ubben on aTm to the SEC

http://espn.go.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/38588/introducing-texas-am-to-the-sec

Missouri had its day on Tuesday. Today, it's Texas A&M's turn.

The SEC welcomes both schools into the league this coming football season, and consider this our introduction to the Aggies on the SEC blog. We get an assist from Big 12 blogger David Ubben.
 
Let's get right to it.

Chris Low: It wasn't a big secret that the SEC wanted to get into the state of Texas, and there were rumblings that the SEC had an offer on the table for both Texas A&M and Oklahoma two summers ago. Did you think it was a foregone conclusion that Texas A&M was going to join the SEC at some point?
 
David Ubben: I don't know if I'd call it a foregone conclusion, but nobody in the league was more tired of the often Texas-driven nature of the Big 12 than the Aggies. The SEC, from its perspective, was a way to surpass the Longhorns, too. Although I think Missouri's move was more about leaving the Big 12, I think the Aggies really wanted to be in the SEC as much as they wanted to leave the Big 12. If Mizzou had its way, it would probably be in the Big Ten right now. For A&M, there's been an SEC lust for decades. Now, it's happening. The Aggies couldn't be happier. We'll see whether that happiness sticks around on game Saturdays in the fall.
 
CL: David, my take on this round of expansion for the SEC is that Texas A&M fits culturally a lot better than Missouri. Maybe that's just me, but Texas A&M has the feel of an SEC school with its passion for football. That said, I'm probably one of those rare people who's been to a Texas A&M basketball game in College Station but never to a football game at Kyle Field. It was back when Bernard King (the other one) was playing for the Aggies, and it was the night before Dennis Franchione left Alabama to take the Texas A&M head football job. I'm sure this will shock you, but nobody was out on press row during the basketball game. Instead, all the Texas A&M-based media members were on their phones back in the media work room trying to track down the Franchione story. I can assure you that something like that would never happen in the SEC during a hoops game. Well, at least not at Kentucky.
 
DU: That sounds about right. And you're definitely in the minority on that one. Kyle Field was the best game atmosphere in the Big 12 by far, and it'll be missed. In that sense, it definitely fits in the SEC. I'd agree with you on the cultural aspect. We'll see how the SEC takes to the Aggies' Yell Leaders aka lack of cheerleaders. It's an old joke in the Big 12, but I guarantee a few SEC fans will be in for a rude awakening next season after failing to do their homework before game day. Unlike Mizzou, the Aggies don't have to deal with a big shift in recruiting strategy. They'll have more access to Louisiana, I think. They also play a physical brand of football, unlike Mizzou. What's the biggest challenge facing the Aggies as they leave for a new league?
 
CL: Just managing the grind of the SEC and going through those three- and four-game stretches when you're playing Alabama one week, Florida the next, then Auburn and then Arkansas. The Western Division is stronger than it's ever been. You're talking about three teams from one division that finished in the top five nationally this past season in the final polls. You can be a pretty decent football team in that division and struggle to win six games. Just ask Mississippi State. Especially with a new head coach and putting in new systems on both sides of the ball, I wonder whether this first season for the Aggies will be rough. Simply making a bowl game may be an accomplishment. What would be your prediction, David, for the Aggies in Year 1 in the SEC?
 
DU: Agreed on that front. I felt bad for Arkansas this year. The Razorbacks were a heck of a lot more than a decent football team but finished third in the division, getting boxed out of the BCS thanks to arbitrary rules. I predict a rough start for the Aggies. I'll give them a break and say 6-6 with a spot safely in the bottom half of the SEC West.

You sure you want to go with vocal in this context?
