I'd imagine every metro airport in SEC country has direct flights into Atl, NOLA, Nashville, and Dallas.

Not New Orleans, and unless Nashville has a crew base, likely no for them as well.
The only airports like that in SEC country are likely DFW, ATL, the Houston airports, Miami, and maybe ST. Louis and KC.

The ACC taking over Atlanta is the reason why the SEC will not move out. Move out one year and here comes the ACC into Atlanta. If it were to rotate New Orleans, Dallas and Atlanta would be great because all have a roof. Who wants to sit in teens weather on a shitty field in Nashville.

Does Houston have a lot of strip clubs?


I assume by that link you are saying "no, it doesn't"


Atlanta is the capital of strip clubs.


ETA: Also any strip club that doesnt let you drink alcohol with full nudity is not a real strip club.

Houston has one or two.

I'm not knocking Atlanta.


(I think Portland is the capital?)

Don't think so. The city & strip clubs actually just reached a legal settlement that loosened prior restrictions. LINK

I can't comment on the number of clubs in Atlanta; but they're a big deal in HTown ("Houston is known to have more strip clubs (gentlemen's club) than any other city in the U.S.")--to the joy of some and the angst of others. LINK

No, Salem is the capital of Oregon, not Portland.

It should be somewhere centrally located in the SEC geographic footprint.


Alternately, it should move around so fans and players get the benefit of visiting different cities and experiencing all that our conference has to offer.

Stop trying to get it in New Orleans. That didn't work out so great for you last time a championship game was played there.


is this a blackout Super Bowl joke, or a 21-0 joke?

If you live in the Deep South (Florida not included), there is a 16% chance you live in metro Atlanta.

That's right.

The total population of Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Arkansas, Louisiana and Kentucky is 35.07 million. The population of metro Atlanta is 5.5 million.

16%.

It's a not only a population center, it's also nearly the geographical center. It also has interstates running in all directions making it relatively convenient to travel to, from pretty much anywhere.

It has more than enough hotels and restaurants and other entertainment to handle a sudden influx of 100,000 people.

I could take them out of the calculation, it would only make my point stronger. Over 30% would live in metro ATL if I did that.
