Who sponsors them possibly?


You mean like a Nike vs UnderArmor? Not that because Bama and Auburn both made it.

They obviously had to exclude a few teams, but why did they choose the two they did? Georgia Tech made it, why not UGA?

What state was this in? If it was Alabama, Hibbett must not like money.

And Why?

Suckage
Non Midwest transplant destinations

If you're wondering about Georgia, they've got Tech, which handles Atlanta.

You figure out the non transplant destination and suckage percentages of the equation.

OU and OSU

Alabama and Auburn

Clemson and SC

Florida and FSU and USF

Texas and TTU

Utah and BYU

Arizona and ASU

UNC and Duke and ECU

Kentucky and Louisville

Vandy and Tennessee


Seems like they weren't afraid to double or triple the coverage area, so why leave out UGA?

The teams are done alphabetically. There is no reason other than there are a crap load of teams that begin with an "A" and a handful that begin with a "G". It's not a slight to UGA, it's just putting a team there to move on to the next letter in the alphabet..

There are actually quite a few curious omissions: Oregon, Boise State, Stanford, USC, and Virginia Tech all come to mind.

Since this is obviously a football-only display piece, I was very surprised to see Vandy make it and not UGA.

It's Hibbett's manifesto for a 38 team SEC.

We already have the Miss. and Ga TV markets with GT and Ole Miss, so no need for MSU or UGA.

It's a fricking poster in a display window at Hibbets sports, and you guys are looking at it like it's the fricking Divinci Code.

At least they have Alabama's updated logo, and not one that's outdated by 15 years. I still see people display the elephant block crap from the 90s.



That one is still active. I learned this the hard way.
