A&M/LSU is the night game unless you are referring to Texas/Tennessee instead.
Nah. The Lane Kiffin circus on wheels is more interesting at night.

Looking forward to seeing how the Mike Elko defense does in a hostile setting with a coach facing him who really is all gas and no brakes. Kiffin will pull no punches and Elko knows that.

To welcome our friends from Texas, I think it is only right that we send coach Sarkisian as much Tennessee whiskey as a man can drink. The trip from Austin to Knoxville is long. It would be poor form not give him something to drink on the way.


Jokes aside, I think Sarkisian's redemption arc is one of the things I like best about him. He's a very flawed human and he has been very frank about a very dark time in his life. Here's to you staying sober, one day at a time, Coach.

Texas has also had the SECs easiest schedule over that timeframe


On paper going in, it looked like as much of a cakewalk that SEC schedules get. It actually wasn't that easy once the season was actually over and you saw which teams performed well.

I can't find the analysis now, but people will just keep repeating the narrative, so whatever.
What is the point to these posts other than to rile people up?

I wish there was a serious SEC fan forum without all the trolling and insults.

Yea but Oklahoma versus UGA got the 2:30 time slot. That should have went to Texas versus Tennessee 100%


You also have to remember there's more at play such as each team has to appear x amount of times, etc. There's more in the calculation than just picking which game on which slot week by week.

Your initial premise is faulty.
Quit trolling. Texas A&M at LSU is the night game on ABC. That's a marquee match up as well and A&M/LSU is a rivalry game with Kiffin Mania to boot.

The battle of UTs while interesting because of the conference implications is nowhere as sexy.

Yes, I am watching and rooting for Missouri to boot.
I like the Chad Powers show on Hulu. It's not exactly fine art, but I find it amusing.

(Of course, I hope the two Big XII teams win those games.)


LOL. Thanks for the support. I'm especially proud of the whopping 3 or 4 conference championbships Texas managed to win in the Big 12.
Michigan/OU and Ohio State/Texas this Saturday should make you happy.
I remember a handful of direct snaps to Lacey when Ole Miss was near the goal line. I don't know that I would Wildcat a lot between the 20s when you have a dynamic playmaker like Chambliss who can kill you on the RPO.
Fun fact: Jeff Banks was the interim head football coach at Texas A&M after they fired Kevin Sumlin. He then moved onto Saban's staff at Alabama which is where his connection with Sark started.

Without oil money, yall would be trailer trash.


Eh? An insult only hurts if there is some truth to it. Texas is excellent in many disciplines including engineering and business. Sure the oil money helps, but the PUF will only last so long and the school will surely operate accordingly.
LSU isn't going anywhere. I mean just consider the idiocy of the Tigers playing at Rutgers or Minnesota. Come on.
I believe simply we fans do not know all the facts around this spat. I've said in another thread neither side appear to be acting rationally based on the information out there.

It may or may not be necessary. The real judgment will be in a few months after more is disclosed over time.

Texas sacked up and let their guy be on the roster.


Am I missing something? Hutson is ineligible by Sarkisian's own words.

"Technically today he is ineligible, not because of the ruling, because of something different when it comes to the NCAA that he's working through," Sarkisian said Monday. "But as I said before, we are respecting the SEC's decision and once he can get cleared and if he gets cleared from the NCAA, then we'll go back to the SEC and what does that look like?"

Sarkisian said he believes Hutson's case is different from the debate about NFL players returning to college because he essentially was in two tryouts but never signed a professional contract.

"He falls under a little different caveat," Sarkisian said. "We'll leave it up to the NCAA and then we'll leave it up to the SEC to determine if he's eligible to play for us or not."

But for the conference to immediately jump to expulsion, over this issue especially,


I suspect there's a lot of information behind the scenes we don't know about. Neither side is acting rationally going by what is known publicly.
Voting out members is not how a breakaway would happen. It's more likely SEC members would simply leave the conference to join some new alliance/arrangement as there is no SEC exit fee. Obviously just my layman opinion.

Have the vote let's do this
I don't think anyone (aside from angry fans) really wants that to happen.

Thursday SEC Meeting

The meeting is "decide whether to terminate Louisiana State University ('LSU') as an SEC member institution". This doesn't have to mean an actual vote must be called, correct? It could just be more discussions on what LSU "did" and what steps could occur next. Or is this really a doomsday scenario?
