Agree. So why are you not in College Station right now outside your ADs office demanding he get 12 other SEC ADs together to do something?

So true, so true, which is exactly why UT brought in Strong, to make sure their in-state Bridesmaids could "never run this state" for more than a few moments.

I'm still working through my big 12 Stockholm syndrome. I don't need another issue to personally fix.

That's not how football officials' mechanics work.

Smart business move. Since LSU was in an apparent self-imposed induced "coma", and no longer dominating the series like in 1980s and subsequent 2010s, plus La loaning ATM a La man in RC to be their best HC in the last fifty years..a siesta was in order.

your first gif is stupid. He spotted exactly where the guy went down.
The call from the second picture is bad, no one is denying that. That is the call that sparked this whole coonass whine coalition. If that call didnt happen, all of this talk is nonexistent.

How does money prevent the other 13 schools from replacing the entire SEC staff and/or moving the HQ out of Birmingham?

Corruption is an interesting thing. The guy who pays the price for it in the short term is the whistleblower. He is ridiculed and marginalized. It's human nature to try to protect the status quo, and generally the more crooked that status quo becomes, the more interest there is in maintaining it.
Over time corruption usually destroys those who benefit from the status quo. That may take a long time or it can happen suddenly with one jarring event. When it happens the backlash is often as bad or worse than the original issue. Because then you get panels and layers of rules and bureaucracies.
The SEC is on dangerous ground because of it's success and the stakes and passions involved make it vulnerable to corruption. And a Bama-centric SEC office that thinks it is impervious to the effect of scandal could end up being very surprised at how quickly it can all unravel. And Alabama fans can take the short view and rub the latest victim's noses in it all they want about it and laugh at the fans of other teams but all that ill will is building towards something. There doesn't seem to be a real understanding from that bunch in Birmingham about how motivated their enemies are becoming in hurting them, whether inside the conference or outside the conference. I mean there are some pretty pissed off people with more money than sense out there who just love to bring other people down.

I can't remember all the Joe Dean specifics, but it was in a much smaller/tighter finances era.
Logic would suggest that despite the LSU-ATM series being on ABC most of the time, that despite LSU being on an o-fer slide vs RC in it's absolute most moribund run in over forty-plus years.
That for recruiting purposes, and in trying to ensure a 6th win in old 11 game season schedule era, that cancelling a tough Home-&-Away series, which required a larger payment to ATM, could instead be a home game yearly, with concession stand profits to pay off a rent-a-win geographical school, all at a much cheaper price.
What was it, I forget? The last two games of the contract aborted? I know it wasn't too many games.

When will you? It's not like you're in another conference than LSU. You're in our division and lose to us every year.

There's a difference between losing fair and square to better competition and losing to politics. Our players are supposed to be competing against the players across from them, not some fat cat up in the suites.
