So if the REAL legit MNCs only count from 1998 to present because words,
That’s 24 and Bama owns 6 of them. So… 25% of MNCs belong to Bama.

I’m ok with that.

Same thing with Texas - TCU, Longhorns are favored this weekend. Plus TCU will play Baylor the following week and Big 12 championship game against Texas again...for 2 losses.

Texas won’t beat TCU, they play a great game in the 1st half but they suck at second half and adjustments.
Sarkesian is a great coordinator when he has Sabans foot in his arse and our defense to hold up the 2nd half. Texas doesn’t have the horses to hold on and win against good teams.

I would gladly take Sark back into the coaches rehab program.

That’s what I think of when I think “modern”. I mean, it’s not 11th century moorish or 16th century baroque architecture. More like 1950’s Soviet gulag style. Very modern!

A&M has less than 20 scholarships for this year.

We can only sign around 20 guys in 2023, so it would have to be extremely elite to sign a top 3 class, but it could still happen

I guess Aggies didn’t get the memo, there’s no counters this year. You can take as many as you like up to 85.

You can process all your bread and take 35 if you want

Adding OU/UTx give the SEC on overwhelming advantage in top money programs with 7 of the top 10. If we cede them to the B1G it looks pretty even in the top 20, but the B1G would be more top heavy with the top 4 of 5.

If the B1G got USC/UCLA/Dome/OU/UTx it’s a safe bet that their contract is worth more and along with the new NIL landscape they could be the more powerful conference.

tOSU and USC recruit Texas well, so adding OU/UTx was as much about locking down Texas recruiting as it was money.

If the SEC expands to 20 teams, I'm fricking done. That's 2 conferences worth of teams

---

No, 20 is perfect. We can split into SEC originals and SWC with all the newer arrivals. Plus Aggies will melt when they have to exchange their SEC patches for SWC ones.

Texas sucks for sure, they need to get better players. Arch probably provides the biggest boost they could hope for so probably why they wanted him so bad.

Longhorns are finding more ways to lose nowadays than agg

Truth, though they did somehow make it to Omaha. Gut feeling has Dome vs Miss/Hog in the finals. Stanford keeps trying to lose before they win, Arkansas and Miss are hot at the right time. Barn can get fricked.

Texas lacks pitching but has Melendez,Aggies lack pitching but have grit. OU is peaking but Domer just feels like the one who will win that bracket.

Obviously, Texas leads with 38 appearances, Miami 25, FSU 23, AZ State 22, USCw 21, OK St. 20, LSU 18, Stanford 18, Fullerton 18, AZ 18, Clemson 12, State 12, FL 12, Arky 11, NC 11, OK 11, USCe 11, Northern Colorado 10 all have at least 10.

38 out of 75; thats crazy.

Tides shift, but the top 5 programs all time outside the early Ivy are Bama, Dome, OSU OU and USC.

After that is the rest of the pack, Michigan, Tennder, UGA, LSU, Nebraska, Texas, Miami, FSU, etc, a few of which are considered blue bloods but outside Michigan and Texas I’m not sure who they are.
