The shite that Strong is getting right now from some UT boosters tends to make me think they're going to make it hard for him to succeed and definitely won't give him scheduling leeway.

When Texas scheduled Old Miss they were at the bottom of the SEC but were middle of the pack by the time the games actually got played. Right now Arkansas and Kentucky are at the bottom and based on past history UK is more likely to be at the bottom than Arkansas.
I honestly just don't see them doing it. And until we gain some traction in conference I really would rather we didn't.

UK is an IMG school as is Texas. When that Kansas game got sold out from under the B12 deal with FOX so they could broadcast it on the LHN nothing would surprise me at this point. The LHN is ESPN and they are looking for any way to boost the LHN at this point. Piggybacking a SEC game on the year Texas came to Commonwealth and then putting the game in TX on the LHN seems just about ESPN's speed.

I agree with this but with the last round of realignment it has become obvious that networks are running schedules and not the conferences or schools anymore. ESPN could care less about what is good for UK if it makes them money on the LHN.
