Sorry but you were used to balance the Big 6 schedules. They don't balance around the worst team in the league. How does that even work? You play an all FCS schedule?

They gave Mizzou the same permanent 3 as Texas.

Texas:
OU: 64-51-5
A&M: 77-37-5
Ark: 57-23

Win %: 63.64

Mizzou:
OU: 25-67-5
A&M: 7-10
Ark: 11-4

Win %: 35.27

They were established for media content. Little bitch Sankey just nodded and did what he was told.

Exactly, take a gander at what Arkansas gets.

Texas
LSU
Miz

Historically lopsided records to say the least.

Most Tennessee fans wanted UGA or UF over UK.

I would have preferred Bama, UGA, Vandy.

LSU got the best permanent 3. None of theirs 3 have won a natty since the 1960s.

That’s what I said. UK fans hate UT. We get our longest played SEC opponent back in State. An easy one day round trip.

That’s too big. I may be out at that point. It’s just not the same any more.

Your fault for being a power house in the 1910s.

They felt bad for our recent year and gave us KY instead of you guys while leaving out TN and LSU.
