We got fricked in 2007, no reason to think '15 would be any different...

Y'all are melting more about Bama's loss than your loss to ND. It's just bizarre.

because as long as a team from alabama has their own officials it is a futile attempt at success from any other team facing them.Especially LSU.

Ah we have come to the real point of the thread. You're tired of being Alabama's bitch.

Don't worry, I'm sure the mad hatter has something up his sleeve he's been saving for next year.

I have posted maybe 5 times regarding the Bama loss. I'm worried about LSU's DC situation and loss to ND. Maybe peruse one's posting history before making accusations, or is that too time consuming?

Admit it, you root for other SEC teams because you're all giddy that Mizzou has the new shiny blue SEC patch on their shoulder. The fact of the matter is no other conference has this deluded sense of false entitlement quite like SEC fans, especially new SEC fans.

The SECN is going to have high ratings no matter what because believe it or not, people from the south love college football. Especially their beloved SEC football. A more literal example would be the Longhorn network. Texas has sucked shite through a straw for a while now and I don't see them hurting for TV ratings.

Yet again, brings me back to the welfare refrence.

When presented with facts, no cares

It was more important during the BCS era. Nobody wanted a repeat of 2004 when Auburn got left out in favor of Shitty Oklahoma. Had that scenario happened in say, 2011, with the SEC's reputation being stellar, Auburn would have played USC and OU would have been left out.

LHN has been an abysmal failure.

No. I rooted for the Big 12 until the situation became untenable in our last couple of years. It makes sense whether you all want to admit it or not.

it's difficult to grasp because every school in the SEC already has more money in their AD department than they know what to do with, and not a single poster here sees a dime from the SECN. It's a bull shite reason to pull for another SEC school to win. You think because Bama lost to OSU less people will watch the SECN?

---

No, I think that because Bama & the entire remainder of the SEC West, with the exception of Arkansas and A&M, shite the bed in their bowl games when they were considered "the best" in the country for the vast majority of the year, more emphasis & consideration will be given to other conferences next year.

As far as the SECN, I've never expected a check from them in my mailbox, so Idk what that even means, but college football fans from around the country in other conferences besides the SEC also subscribe to that network because the SEC is supposedly "the best." When they collectively fall apart & lose to teams from other conferences, that perception is a bit tarnished.

It's really very simple - true college football fans want to watch the best conference & the best games, which translates into more money, respect, etc. for that conference, but the teams in that conference must win against OOC teams. ... Who doesn't want their conference to be considered "the best" in something? If you don't, or don't care, whatever; I just don't get why you all give a shite about those who do.

So you're comparing a loss from a team who has multiple NCs in recent years, and comparing that loss to an entire conference who has had struggles. Do you not think Alabama will be a pre season top 10 team next year? Less people are watching SECN next week then they did last week?

Trends are a collection of data points. Changes in trends occur through a change in data points.

But your stunted argument formation doesn't bode well for an in-depth discussion on any topic.

How can you be a fan of your school but also support the SEC?

The better your competition, the better you are.

FSU shows you why being in a piece of shite conference with two decent teams doesn't work in the long run. If you don't have to play your hardest every game, you don't know who you really are. So when you run into the Oregons, Ohio States and Alabamas you get your fricking teeth kicked in.
