Which do you think is worse, State getting rid of theirs or Missouri starting one? I hope it works out for them. I have a feeling I know how this will work out for State, unfortunately.

ACC = 0
B 12 = 1.5 (just 1 school)
B1G = 0
PAC = 6 (just 1 school)
SEC* = 18.5 (3 different schools, and Auburn + Arkansas + LSU making "Super Six")
OTR = 9 (pretty much all Utah, but before they joined the PAC) *Missouri had a Top 12 finish in 2010, but before they joined the SEC

Pretty impressive considering these schools in the SEC do not have gymnastics
Ole Miss
State
South Carolina
Tennessee
Texas A&M (has a good club team, really needs to get a team with all the TX talent) Vanderbilt


its freaking womens gymnastics.

let's see, a little googling shows me that there are 52 schools that compete, 26 are schools in a power 5 conference(big money athletic departments) and 8 of those are SEC schools. It looks like about 15 of those 26 schools are actually competitive. So basically whoever wins the SEC wins the national championship. It's just not that impressive to me considering the best athletes are already in the south and there isn't lacrosse and water polo to pull from the already over saturated pool of athletic ladies in the south.

Have you ever actually been to a gymnastics game/competition/meet/match/battle royale? If so, is it true that TV adds 10 pounds of weight, or do their backsides look just as good in person?

Bro, you're Title IX af, good for you.

I'm so proud that Bama and the other 7 SEC teams dominate a womens sport that has about 12 competitive teams and only two teams outside of the SEC that have won national titles this century.

SEC! SEC! SEC! our female gymnists are better than yours!!!!!!

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Truthfully, if they're copying you then it means you're doing it right.

You do know that Clemson itself was a copy of Mississippi State, right?
From the will and testament of Thomas Green Clemson:

Feeling a great sympathy for the farmers of this State, and the difficulties with which they have had to contend in their efforts to establish the business of agriculture upon a prosperous basis, and believing that there can be no permanent improvement in agriculture without a knowledge of those sciences which pertain particularly thereto, I have determined to devote the bulk of my property to the establishment of an agricultural college upon the Fort Hill place.

This institution, I desire, to be under the control and management of a board of trustees, a part of whom are hereinafter appointed, and to be modeled after the Agricultural College of Mississippi as far as practicable.

You were

1-3 against Mike Archer,

1-11 against Les Miles and

If your team plays @ MSU this year it would be worth it to drive down for the weekend, with this year being the last one before the LFL is redone. If you're respectful you will be offered enough beer and food to throw up from one or the other by the end of the 9th inning. I can guarantee you will enjoy the trip win or lose.

If it turns out like that picture, well done. Hopefully your administration isn't pulling what ours did after they collected all the donations. Our renovation was nothing like original renderings.


Fortunately, our Athletic Department doesn't overestimate the cost of renovations so that they can take that money off the top to pay off recruits, players, recruits' parents, players' parents, recruits' aunts, players' uncles, recruits' second cousins twice removed, players' god father's mother-in-law's step great uncles, recruit's baby mommas and player's boyfriends.

Probably yes.

I think it's kind of lame. You pay a hundred bucks for a seasons access to premium setting that really just lets you purchase alcohol and more expensive crap food. and you still have to purchase your ticket. It's nothing like MSU, and I don't see it being popular (except for the overpriced beer)

she was such a bit player in all of that it makes the all out hate on the rant interesting. I'm going with the betraying her white race theory, although no one would ever actually admit that

Softball doesn't need it. They sell out without it. They did/are getting a brand new stadium to play in. That's what winning earned them. I think it's supposed to be ready for the season. Not sure about that though.

I suppose they're trying to better baseball without sinking any real money into it. They're putting turf on the field too, which I normally don't like but given our weather, it's smart. Will the idea help? It won't hurt.

a sellout in softball is like what 500?

I don't see baseball ever really pulling here. The season is mostly f'in cold and people follow the cards or royals

Will the new stadium get a big jump in seating? you know me and my obsession for SEC schools being represented in top seating numbers.

I agree about the weather where a turf field makes more sense.
