anything west of Texas would be pushing it

Well, the Confederacy did invade New Mexico. How about New Mexico State? 04-cheers

The Houston area of Texas could probably be considered more Southeastern in culture than Southwestern thus why The Aggies fit.

Anything west of that though, definitely Southwest not Southeast. Texas is far too large and far too diverse to make the statement that you did.

I do agree with you that the best bet for the SEC would be Texas and Oklahoma, that is a no brainer and would be the case for any conference.

My question to you though would be whether or not you actually believe that could happen?


As you said, culture doesn't always recognize geography. I cannot see Texas giving up its kingdom in the BIG 12 for a fiefdom in the SEC. Even the deposed emperors of the Latin Empire begged across Europe and sold holy relics to regain their kingdom instead of settling for a principality.

But with the ACC, Texas would still maintain complete control of scheduling 6-7 of their regular season games. They would still be able to play all the Big 12 teams that they actually care about while at the same time getting out of the Midwest and moving into more lucrative markets.

From XLance's overtones I don't think the Research Triangle crowd wants to give up their preeminence in the ACC by letting the Horns "hook" up with the Irish as special children.

In their dreams!
