I can't help but think this has gone better than the OP ever thought possible.

Ok here's how I see this going down.

The war doesn't actually start with a attack on SEC soil but by an old SWC alliance with mutual gain to be had by building their combined strength.

Arkansas deeply inferior feelings propel them to form an alliance using Jerry Jones to set up a meeting between Texas and aTm in Dallas at Cowboys stadium. This is all under the guile of Razorback peace, this is all a sham. Arky knows if they can create an alliance with aTm they might finally show those Cajun bastards from Red Stick what's truly up. During these faux peace deliberations Arkansas and A&M attack Texas wiping them off the map. Now with Texas out of the way Arky & aTm have no western enemy to worry about and are free to attack LSU.

Baton Rouge comes under siege by the united Arky/A&M forces. LSU knows that alone they will not be able to hold those usurpers off for long ... knowing they truly haven't made any friends or even foes in the SEC they have no one to turn to now. It is here they make an unlikely alliance with Mizzou, this comes out of their common French heritage, disdain for Arky swine, and Mizzou drive to prove themselves worthy to be in the SEC.

Seeing this weakness in LSU, Ole Miss gets leaders in motion for a power move on LSU. They gather their lawyers and hash out an alliance between themselves Alabama. This alliance is only strengthen by the uneasy pairing of alliances: Arky/aTm & OM/Bama. Knowing that the key to winning this battle is controlling the Mississippi the AAOB forces devise a plan to eliminate LSU/MU forever.

Arky will attack Mizzou throwing them off-guard by bringing the offensive to them. A&M will continue their assault on Red Stick knowing it's only a matter of time before Bama/OM forces arrive. Ole Miss will split it's forces, half will go to controlling the Mississippi & blockading trade & reinforcements between LSU & Mizzou. The other half their forces will be with Bama on their march to Baton Rouge. This force will have to take care of the MSU standing in their way. Knowing MSU is their only hope to protect themselves LSU attempts to help them stay off the beast which in turn only weakens them more because ultimately no matter how much MSU believes they are capable in the end they stand no real match for the BAMA/OM forces who cut through MSU's defenses like butter.

As the AAOB alliance closes in on it's goal of destroying LSU & Mizzou and unbeknownst to them the envoys of MU/LSU have made contact with Tennessee and Auburn imploring them to join in against their arch nemesis and finally put down their oppressors. Seeing the opportunity in this AU & UT join into the fray quickly dispatching of Tuscaloosa while Bama forces are gone.

Seeing that this war has vastly escalated both sides are eager to add more allies to their cause. The AAOB alliance sees their plight with having now to UT/AU on their flanks, even though LSU/MU are all but wiped out if they don't upon this now they know that this distraction might be all that is needed for LSU/MU to regroup and take this fight to another level. Seeing as they want to nip this in the bud, Bama calls on it's long time friend and fellow rival of Auburn, UGA to join forces against AU. Knowing that if AU is caught between Bama & UGA they will most certainly be destroyed. While Bama convince's UGA to join in the fight Ole Miss uses its power of persuasion a la Freeze to convince it's in their best interest that Vandy & UK join in to help combat against Tennessee.

Seeing how the cards are beginning to fall USCe & UF have a decision to make. Both are being recruited heavily to each side but ultimately their decisions might turn the tide of battle. USCe eventually succumbs to their hate of UGA and joins LSU/Mizzou/UT/Aubie in their fight. Florida now knows they are the deciding factors. But given their general disdain most of the SEC, since they really don't fit in with the rest, they decide to remain neutral. Knowing that no matter who wins ... all of them will be weakened and can be easily over thrown by Gatornation should the need arise.

Since Florida neither helps nor hurts the Arky/A&M/Ole Miss/Bama/UGA/Vandy/UK alliance of United Nations these schools are able to finish up the rest. The head start that the United Nations received on LSU really won this war. With them and Mizzou all but wiped out the United nations was able to refocus then reinforce UK/VU/UGA against UT/AU/USCe. With all that firepower thrown at these schools they had very little they could do but surrender and pledge fidelity to their United Nations overlords ... thus pledging loyalty by offering up their top 20 recruits for the UN to have first pick of them. Florida sees the opportunity it lost by chosing to do nothing and thus at the end bending knee as well and praying the UN doesn't decide to take them out just for being a bunch of pussies jews.

Also the core group of the UN: Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Vanderbilt are always wary, vigilant and ready at a moments notice to wipe Arkansas and Texas A&M off the face of the world if they step out of line because even though they helped the were just like the Russian Commie bastards and we all knew as soon as this was had ended the SEC Cold War had begun ... time for the arms race!



TL;DR

Arky and A&M start the war by helping each take out their most hated rivals. First Arky helps A&M with Texas then A&M helps Arky with LSU. LSU knows they can't do it alone and can't turn to anyone but Mizzou. Thus starting a war that engulfs the entire SEC.

Ark/A&M/OM/UA team up against LSU/MU this sparks UT/AU to join LSU/MU. The rest have to decide what to do; UK/VU/UGA join Ark/A&M/OM/UA, USCe joins LSU/MU/UT/AU and UF remains neutral.

________________________________________


Then what happens is the SEC Cold War where there is a massive arms race. The Core: Bama/UGA/OM/UK/VU are wary of the potential usurpers of Ark/A&M/UF so we(The Core) start a Contra War pitting these schools against each other. We will start by spreading lies and false truths making these schools distrust one another and eventually push them to hate.

We will start on Arky and A&M since they are the most insecure as well as the closest to each other. While the tension builds we will implant Florida with idea of how powerful A&M will become and how in time they will look to take over Florida too. Through these tales we spin we will start an open conflict. When war breaks out we will sit back claiming neutrality but all the while prepping for war. Once they are weaken enough we will strike and wiping out these schools.

Once the dust settles we will redraw state boundaries & re-divide the SEC.

The best thing about this is even after we eliminate the rest of the SEC, we that are left will have all that we need to survive.

Alabama & Georgia will hold down the elite football, Kentucky will continue to dominate basketball, all these teams have great baseball, Vandy will continue academic prowess & Ole Miss will keep winning the parties ... not missing a step!

This is where LSU sends a short coded message to UT that reads "Battle of New Orleans...time is now... Baton Rouge...." Tennessee, remembering how it came to be the Volunteer state, why they are Volunteers, marches.

Problem is we may need to align with UT, idk how Bama would feel about that...



I think Bama would be ok with it but Auburn or SC might try to bring up the Governor of Georgia's attempts to claim the Tennessee River in an effort to split such an alliance. It would cause of bit of internal discord the alliance would hold.

Tri-state water wars taking a toll on Apalachicola Bay oysters

The battle over fresh water between Alabama, Georgia and Florida may be extending to people's dinner plates.

According to a story this week in The New York Times, Apalachicola Bay's oyster harvests are down sharply since last year, thanks to a diminished fresh water supply from the Apalachicola River.

The Times reports that Apalachicola Bay has traditionally supplied around 90 percent of Florida's oysters and approximately 10 percent of entire U.S. harvest.

For years, Alabama, Georgia and Florida have been embroiled in legal disputes over Georgia's use of water from Lake Lanier, which feeds the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee, and Flint Rivers. A 2011 court ruling allowed the Army Corps of Engineers to draw more water from Lake Lanier to meet the growing needs of the metro Atlanta area.

Alabama and Florida appealed the ruling, but the Supreme Court declined to hear the case. Delegations from Alabama and Florida have tried to address the issue in Congress, with little success so far. Georgia also tried to change its borders recently to gain access to the Tennessee River, which does not currently enter the state.

The Big 3 (Alabama, Ole Miss, and Georgia) would divide the conquered territories among the three of them; Vandy and Kentucky would get shafted.

In case someone hasn't said it yet, Auburn would just pay the best mercenaries money can buy and sit back to watch the win roll in.

You should be!!

I still think, though, that as soon as internal conflicts became known, we'd be under attack from the ACC, B1G and conference bevo. And we would quickly band together to fight off this annoyance.

Actually, planning an internal conflict as a strategy to draw the others into attacking us would be genius! The SEC would take over everything, and look like the good guy because we could say they started it!!
