I have no clue what team you’re a fan of.
Who has made more bowl money since 2012? Arky or Mizzou?

The south has been on the wrong side of history for 600 years

This is why nobody wants mizzou in the conference. Y’all where given the privilege of being allowed in but that was a mistake

If you're going to argue about geographical location, you're going to have to argue about a #.

Negative baggage is what your mom carried for 7-9 months. I am guessing you were born early retarded.

Call it "The Conference That Helped frick Up College Football" because the SEC is the one who started this expansion bullshite.
I do find a bunch of the seasonal matchup games around the country next year intriguing though.

Arkansas brings much more to the SEC than Mizzou ever has. Try again.
I bet you’re a trashy Mizzou fan.

Let’s go to two divisions. The pre 90s 10 teams and the six newbies no one wanted.

Actually a decent point but is the sec really to blame? The story we were “told”……. is Texas and Ou approached the sec and said let us in or we are going to the big ten. Obviously laws dictate the sec can’t approach another conference member but it could still be true. Either way the sec or Texas initiated this round of expansion. The big is going to 24 teams and for those that say fine let ‘em just know when it’s time to negotiate playoff spots they will bully the sec and get more spots.

Let the Big10 grow.
Let them have all four time zones.
Let their xtra jumbo pizza feed 24 slices.
Let our jumbo pizza feed 16 slices.
Then in the future, let’s allpare back down to 6 or 7 leagues of 10/12 teams when we realize that expansion watered down the two best conferences.
Get the old SWC, big8 and big east back and we can have radial, regional rivalries.
Usc and ND can still have their rivalry.
Go look at the sec’s schedules back in the mid 80s. They were awesome

2 Sep 6, 1986 Sat (5) Alabama Vanderbilt

6 Oct 11, 1986 Sat (2) Alabama Memphis
7 Oct 18, 1986 Sat (2) Alabama @ Tennessee
8 Oct 25, 1986 Sat (2) Alabama (6) Penn State
9 Nov 1, 1986 Sat (8) Alabama @ (19) Mississippi State

Penn State was added to the B1G in 1990. Who started this expansion?

I said this round as in the latest. I guess you could go back to the gt to say the acc started it. But if you’re actually talking significance of where we are today 100 percent the sec started it. The addition of the conference championship game was a game changer

I would say when most fans talk about conference expansion they think of 1992 for the SEC. That's why I made it clear that Penn State was a huge get for the B1G in 1990. They were a big Independent brand coming off 2 recent National Championships. Arkansas and South Carolina didn't have that status. And still don't.

clinging to a conference that is no more. Plus it’s inevitable that it will expand to new geographic regions.
This is what expansion got us. Nothing positive, just some little bitches.

The “SEC” name and branding is bigger than any name in college athletics. There is no way it will change. It’s refreshing that there is no “BIG” or no “NUMBER” in the name.

Got a lotta bites with that stinkbait.
