What you’re looking at (courtesy of Jason Kirk at SBN by way of TexasAgs.com) may be one of the greater moments of trolling in college football history. Texas A&M is the only non-Big 12 major program in Texas, so they want everyone to know that Texas is now SEC COUNTRY … including Austin Texas, home of the University of Texas Longhorns. That billboard sits on the north side of I-35, just before you get to Tinseltown (which non-Texas bloggers hilariously think is a city, and not a crappy movie theater).
Now, I’m far from a native Texan and my love of local college football comes almost exclusively from ‘King Of The Hill’, but this monstrosity is and will continue to be upsetting to a pretty sizeable chunk of my Facebook wall and therefore must be stopped.
A couple of quick realities for anyone seriously upset by this:
1. The billboard is in Pflugerville, which is not exactly “Austin”. Saying Pflugerville is Austin is like saying Rockville, Maryland is Washington D.C. If they put a billboard on Guadalupe, then yeah, we’ve got a problem.
2. 27-25, so who gives a shit?
Regardless, UT should counter this by putting a big YOU PLAY IN THE SEC, NOBODY WILL CARE ABOUT YOU IN TWO YEARS billboard up in College Station.

Oh, snap! Those damn Agriculturals and Mechanicals are getting bold. Have fun beating up Vanderbilt and Kentucky!
I wanted to be all “b-bu-but what about UTEP!” but there’s no way to argue that the Miners are a major program.
YOU OWNT EEM UNNERSTAN HOW WE DOOT DOWN HERE INA SEC. YER JUS JELLUS. [swallows four ounces of Copenhagen]
lol… silly UT will be irrelevant in 2 years when Mack is gone and they still have no offense and are getting curb stomped by TCU and Okie State
also, 27-25?
Anyone who watched that game or the entire season for either team would tell you Texas is no where near as good a team as the Aggies last year
Still pales compared to the one that went up in Waco when Baylor was suing to keep A&M in the Little 12: [i.i.com.com]
ATM would put it in North Austin. That is where all the Aggies relocate to because College Station/Bryan sucks.
