re: Scheduling when UT/OU join?

Do you think there’s a chance they come a year sooner?

At this point, I doubt it. But I've been caught completely off-guard before on this stuff. So I say 25% chance next year, 75% we finish on the current terms of the agreement and come as publicly declared and scheduled.

How likely is it that we’ll get 9 SEC games?

Personally I'd rather not do it immediately. But the opinion of a fan doesn't matter. There's almost certainly more money involved in a 9 game conference schedule. So that's what the powers-that-be will probably do. 80% chance within the first three years.

Is the three permanent opponents concept a done deal ?

If it is, we won't get the priviledge finding out until about 6 - 8 months beforehand I'd guess. I'm guessing yes, effectively already done and decided.

What’s your best guess as who your team’s permanents?

UT, Arkansas, LSU/Missouri/Vanderbuilt (???). Not at all sure who the third will be. Not even 100% sure about Arkansas.
