Oh, is that right? You were ranked top 5 in last year's end of year poll too?

BTW, we actually handled Kansas State. Unlike Missouri.

Everyone would play each other, plus enough for a good ooc game and 2 cream puffs.


That would be my ideal situation, too.

I suspect that's where things are headed. Right now you have the SEC vs Big-12 in a bowl match up; the Big-10 Vs Pac-10 is another match up. The winners of that will go to the MNC game.

4 conferences of 16 teams. The big losers are the ACC, Big East in all of this. I suspect the NCAA will be left out in the desert.

it will level the college landscape in many ways, due to the number of teams the conferences can't play favorites like they used to, and still do. Too many top teams in a conference to let one run the show.

It would end sec ruling in football. The sec west is hard enough to win as it is.
Screw expansion.

Would the top 64 be willing to leave the NCAA and start another sanctioning org? This football thing will effect every sport, as you do not have to be a member of the NCAA.

SEC could go all the way to 20, where you only play the 9 teams in your division plus a potential conference championship game against the winner of the other division.

Shitty idea, i know, but its the only way to keep that old school feel when it comes to your rivalries.

Well, we still have our head coach.

Also, awesome recruiting class so far, pigs.

Breakaway has the impossible task of defending his claim that Missouri is on Arkansas's level. Clearly the shite is going to get desperate in a hurry.

That is in no way a flame, just two facts.
Arkansas no longer has Bobby.
And their 2013 recruiting class fricking sucks.

That's what I would say when faced with numbers that pitiful. I'm not sure what makes you Missouri fans think thousands of fairweather Missouri fans are going to pop out of the woodwork just to watch Alabama rail you guys at Faurot.

Worked for you shitheads 20 years ago, so far it seems to be going well for us too.

And we fill our stadium to seating capacity as is, expansion is on the way.
There are only actually 62k seats at Faurot. The hill throws off capacity numbers.

you have it backwards though. uva holds the stroke in virginia, so their deal to the B1G would have to be written in stone before they agree to let vt walk away

Ignore him. His own kind have denounced him as an inbred crack head here on the rant.

The more and more he flames the more obvious his fears and insecurities become to everyone here.
