Twitter reaction to Texas A&M leaving the Big 12

Ah, Twitter world. You knew I wouldn’t forget about you, right?

Once the news came down this morning that Texas A&M is officially planning to leave the Big 12, I threw out three questions on Twitter:

What is your reaction?
What does this mean for the Big 12?
What does this mean for OSU?

Here’s a sample of some of the responses I got. Some are insightful. Some are hilarious. Some are very opinionated.

Heck, even Boone Pickens threw out his thoughts on Twitter, saying “In 5 yrs I think it will be apparent the #Aggies made a bad call on this. #Big12 #SEC.”

Enjoy.

Jstobbe: Pac-10 here we come. and it’s all #UT’s fault. (I think he means Pac-12, but no matter)

BSargentOKC: A&M football won’t be competitive in the SEC. OK State and OU need to go west and join the Pac-12. Big 12 is now doomed.

ScKing: We all knew that last year’s realignment meant the end to the Big 12 soon. Just not this soon. BYU doesn’t fix any problems.

andrewOKST: For me it gives everyone in the league even more incentive to whoop A&M’s…bottom this year.

RobertWhetsell: A&M…have fun getting pounded in the SEC! Hello Pac 16.

krginn: Have fun being the 9th best football team in the SEC. OkState needs to pack up and head to the PAC 12 with OU, Texas & Texas Tech.

dougbranstetter: hate to see them go, but Boone Pickens has ensured we are relevant and will be a player in any conference realignment. #thankboone

KBNOKC: Both OU and OSU need to be aggressive and not sit back and just follow Texas’ lead.
