re: 3 Annual Rival Proposals - Honest Opinions

Looks good to me

The problem is Mizzou.

LMAO

We have rivals. There are teams that lie within this conference that have none. Mizzou has a pretty good one brewing with South Carolina but we will see if we get it. The SEC loves giving us the FCS win with Arkansas though.

We aren't playing Tulane every year

Who would Texas get as their 3rd if not Arkansas? Texas-Arkansas has a lot more history to it than Arkansas-Mizzou does.

Never understood why they wouldn’t. If you’re going to play a G5 team like Troy, UAB, Southern Miss, etc. every year, then you might as well schedule Tulane. A matchup with history behind it, limited travel costs, and with the ability to pack a stadium. I think this would mean a lot to older generations of Louisianans.

And no one wants MSU as a permanent rival. Would much rather have Texas.

lol ok Kentucky fan. I know y’all don’t want MSU as permanent because we routinely whooped that arse

I hear Texas Tech has been getting a lot of cash recently.
They will probably run the Big 12 soon

You did a great job of maintaining the big rivalries and hitting the geographic footprint.

As a Gators fan, I love that you added Auburn to our annual 3. I'm showing my age but it was always one of my favorites every year. It will be interesting to see which annual non-conference teams are selected by Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee, and A&M.

LSU is scared of Tulane, so I don't see that happening. They would also have to add another Power 4 team. I would think they would select Houston because of their large alumni base there. Ole Miss would also need to find another Power 4.

I think the Thanksgiving game of LSU v OU will become a big hit. Only problem is so many cajuns will be watching this game they're liable to run out of crawlfish. Just from eatin fists full of them out of nervousness. That and cognac.

I'd like Uga, AwwBarn, and Cackalacky. Before 2012 conference expansion, Aubie was a permanent game and they are the geographically closest SEC school to Gainesville so I miss that game. I reside in the middle of the Carolinas and SCar is the next closest school to Gainesville and lots of SC has swamps, marshes, palmettos, spanish moss, humidity, food, and the lowcountry culture akin to Northeast FL so that's a nice fit. The LSU game is perhaps my fave game but they're further out west so I'd prefer the closer schools as permanents. Please no Kensucky as they lack enthusiasm and are far away over yonder dem hills up north, haha. Bayou trash Bengals and hillbilly Vawls would be next for me after the closer Barn and Cackys.
