re: Damn racist traffic accidents!

I get the impression that blacks not only commit more crimes than whites, but also are less smart about how to get away with crimes. I grew up in a white, upper middle class area right next door to a huge drug dealer. He didn’t get away with drug dealing because he hid his activities. (Everybod...

Scheduling in 16 team SEC

Posted by Bayou445 on 8/19/22 at 9:47 pm

Seems pretty certain that they’re going to 9 conference games. But otherwise, I’ve seen remarkably little talk about this. Are they going to do the rotating pods that the 16 team WAC did? Are they going to abolish divisions altogether now that that’s allowed? Dear God, I hope they don’t go to a s...

re: Big10 commissioner says he sees them going to 20 teams

Posted by Bayou445 on 8/19/22 at 9:40 pm

The Big Ten also added Maryland and Rutgers. I’m not really sure what the point of that expansion was, other than having as many members of the SEC. And, if Barry Alvarez is to be believed, to prevent PSU from looking toward the ACC. ...

In football, UNC has an all time 68-37-5 record vs NC State. Even for football, UNC would be a better add than NC State. And, frankly, nobody is proposing UNC as an SEC add for football reasons. NCSU has been downright bad in basketball ever since Jim Valvano retired, they’ve never been good in f...

Yeah, I was trying to figure out who the third least valuable team in the SEC is. I think it might be USCe. The second favorite team in a pretty small state. ...

Posted by Bayou445 on 8/19/22 at 6:52 pm

NC State? Jesus Christ, I have no idea why people suggest them as an SEC add. They’re the third most popular athletics program in a state that’s really not that huge. NCSU is also probably the ACC’s worst academic institution. If we’re going to make lame adds from “new TV markets”, why not...

re: Long term SEC prediction

Posted by Bayou445 on 8/19/22 at 6:22 pm

The departing members would create a new conference under a new name. The left behind teams would actually keep the SEC name. It’s like when 8 WAC members left to form the MWC. But if the Big 8 (Florida, Georgia Tennessee, LSU, Alabama, Auburn, Texas and Oklahoma) broke off, their new conferen...

re: Long term SEC prediction

Posted by Bayou445 on 8/19/22 at 6:14 pm

The Southern Conference was something like 25 teams before the SEC broke off. I think that the Big 8 (the current Big 6+ Texas and OU) should break off from the rest of the SEC. We’ll see how much the Little 8 of the SEC is actually worth. And, even better, we’ll probably see Tennessee go...

My prediction: Tennessee will go 5-7. Heupel will be on the hot seat heading into 2023. The Tennessee athletic director will spend the whole offseason thinking about what equally awful coach to replace him with. ...

Who gets the boot if the Big 10 and SEC start kicking out members?

Posted by Bayou445 on 8/19/22 at 6:08 pm

Let’s face it: there are teams in the Big 10, ACC and Big 12 that are more profitable than current SEC and Big 10 members. If the SEC and Big 10 want to make as profitable of a 20-24 team conference as possible, they’d kick out some current members. I think the Big 10 would kick out Northwester...

re: Does the Big Ten now regret the Maryland and Rutgers additions?

Posted by Bayou445 on 8/19/22 at 4:41 pm

It is rather telling that the ACC picked up 5 of the Big East’s original 8 members, but never had the slightest amount of interest in Rutgirls. Heck, WVU got into the Big 12 before Rutgers got into the Big 10, too. And I don’t remember Rutgers ever being mentioned as a Big 12 expansion candidate ...
