Neither MS school will ever be kicked out of the SEC. No one would vote for it. Why? Because you'd be creating an imminent powerhouse at whichever MS team remained. You would create a situation where football championships could very realistically be won in your smallest market. Anyone with foresight could see that logical progression and would never go for it.

As is, the MS schools divide the very good and underrated talent in MS roughly equally -- and it keeps us both good but never great. If you allow all of that talent to consistently go to one school, you have created a situation not much different than LSU enjoys in Louisiana -- with PLENTY of in-state talent to field one legit competitor consistently.

It's a sad day when we cannot have legitimate good natured conversations on a sports message board.

Pretty much this. I think Ole Miss would get to "powerhouse" stature quicker but it wouldn't take State much longer.

Either way, we're founding members so there's a higher chance I get Emma Watson pregnant than us getting kicked out.

I thought State was already the powerhouse of the state of Mississippi? I mean, you own TSUN in just about everything.
