Messi or Ice Cube?? Which is biggest "world" star?

I have had several occasions to spend a bit of time with this man…he is absolutely one of the nicest, easiest to talk with stars around. In fact, first time was at a gathering where my company had an appearance by Julius Erving - another tremendously gracious superstar- as the keynote speaker the following evening. My boss and I shared a table of 4 with Earl and Doc for dinner that night. Some great conversations and stories!

Y.A. Title - LSU

With Beshear exploring a run for Dem presidential nomination I would say his comment about concerns about “partisan” influence may be revealing his motives in posting this.

Coach Bryant would say in referring to Jordan - “Shig has more courage in his little finger than I have in my whole body”

They seemed to have a tremendous respect for the other and some degree of friendship.

Part of the issue with Missouri in the SEC is the lack of natural/traditional rivals. Adding a team or two that would complement each other in this way would strengthen the overall appeal of Missouri +, +.

Believe adding Texas and Oklahoma is going to be very good for Arkansas. Think of the old SWC and how many big games between Texas & Arkansas. And, though Oklahoma was Big 8, the schools aren't that distant from one another and that should develop into a strong rivalry.

With the forums of a month ago being centered on SEC football scheduling - how many "permanent" vs rotating opponents, divisions vs pods, etc - does further expansion really add any appeal to a future SEC football season? Or, just a big group of teams that rarely even play one another? Does a "conference" lose it's appeal when your team plays a handful of "conference" opponents once every 4-6 years? I doubt that the season would be extended by more than 1 week - and, maybe that's via some end of season conference playoff - so, there's not much opportunity to increase the frequency of teams meeting in that.

Why add some of the teams being talked about? Adding them is going to diminish the competition level.

I have no clue as to what led you to such a statement. So what that half the games are not so interesting- I’m guessing we could include Vandy vs anybody, Missouri, Kentucky, too. But, reading back thru the games that would Not occur every year - Ok vs Texas, Ga vs Aub, Ala vs Tenn, LSU vs Ole Miss to name a few - slot those in on that additional week of SEC National broadcasts. Very valuable programming! The SEC commissioner and school Presidents are not going to just add that to the TV rights (had they announced at Destin last week) without getting something ($$$$) in return.

The result was what was expected. Saw a compilation of media picks across multiple outlets (CBS, 247, ESPN, etc) ahead of the game. NO one picked Kentucky! Came out exactly as expected.
