Hey SunHog,

What if I found a post of yours where YOU said the distance from Columbia to Fayetteville was 223 miles?

LINK

You were saying???




When did we even start talking about the teams flying to each campus?

We are talking about traveling fan bases by car.

Who did those numbers? Was there some kind of highway available from Columbia, that isn't from Tuscaloosa? Space/time continuum going on? It's over 600 miles between Columbia, Missouri and Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Not the 490 miles that is listed.


I'm sure it was air miles. The graphic was done by the Columbia Missourian newspaper.

At any rate, SunHog posted the graphic so you should ask him.

I only posted it because of the hilarity of him calling bullshite on numbers that I got from one of his posts.

If we could all fly to every single game direct his numbers would be accurate.



Typically the distances between campuses are tabulated by driving mileage/time. Not everyone in the fanbase is going to fly. Frankly, most SEC campuses are close enough that flying would take more time/money than it is worth. Plus, I usually like the drives more than airports.

And thanks for completely ignoring the other points I made as to A&M's connections to 4 current SEC West members.



I never ignored them. Texas A&M has great history with Arkansas and LSU.

This is about TV sets or Texas A&M and Mizzou would not be in this league.

The OP was stupid. Inaccurate numbers drive me up the wall just like someone else has with spelling or grammar usage.

I don't know, dude.

What decade are we talking about?

The 2000s or the 2010s? How about 2002-2011?

The highway system has changed a lot over the years.

First tell me what decade to use as a reference point and then I'll engage you further.

He doesn't even realize he was arguing about Team travel or he would've said so in his post. I think he'll understand now.

It's 311 miles from Arkansas to Mizzou for fans to drive.

It's 223 miles for the TEAM to fly to Mizzou.

It's easy to hate on us but soon enough it will head towards Aggie land. They don't know what's comin'.

So the Flagship is just one of those garbage barges that travels around looking for some poor hapless country that will accept their load.

Makes perfect sense.

Yes, I posted that graphic on 11/6/11 and it's now 2/6/12 therefore it's a totally different conversation.

How are these related?
