Parody of Aggie 'SEC Welcome' video surfaces, original video taken down

Well, it was bound to happen, and fortunately it did.

The original Texas A&M "Welcome to the SEC" video that elicited a wellspring of derision on Tuesday, July 3 — from SEC conference members and A&M alums alike — has already been pulled down off YouTube. Alas, its brief, shining moment in the sun has passed.

In its wake, however, is the surprisingly funny parody video done by The University Co-op, the mega-store supplying the majority of UT's students and alumni with their books and Longhorn paraphernalia.

Apparently, the staff at the Co-op has a passion for video work, with some results turning out better than others. Without hesitation, however, the team took aim at the easy target of the "SEC Welcome" video to rather impressive results. Their President Loftin impression is entirely LOL-worthy.

It's all in good fun, y'all. This is the way rivalries work after all... Welcome to the SEC.

Team History

Former Westlake quarterback leads Clemson in first game against Texas

With Cade Klubnik on the roster, the teams have more history than some might think.

The Texas Longhorns will take on the ACC champion Clemson Tigers in the first round of the College Football Playoff, marking the first time Texas and Clemson have ever faced off on the football field. And while the matchup itself obviously carries enormous weight nationally, it will also include a fascinating local storyline.

The matchup will feature the return of Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik, an Austin native who quarterbacked local powerhouse Westlake for two seasons.

Klubnik's 86 touchdown passes and 7,390 passing yards are both Westlake school records, notably better than the stats of Drew Brees, Nick Foles, and Sam Ehlinger – all former Westlake quarterbacks who made it to the NFL.

While at Westlake, Klubnik led the Chaps to two state championships in 2020 and 2021. Notably, in the 2020 Class 6A Division 1 State Championship, Westlake faced off against Southlake Carroll, a North Texas powerhouse quarterbacked by current Longhorn Quinn Ewers.

The two put on an offensive showcase throughout, as both Klubnik and Ewers accounted for well over 300 yards of offense. Klubnik passed for 220 yards and a touchdown on 18-of-20 passing, while also running for 111 yards and two touchdowns. Ewers threw for 351 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions on 23-of-39 passing. Westlake won the game 52-34.
