That's no real achievement. One can draw major backlash from the left by simply looking at one of them the wrong way.

Sumrall isn't going to flip out like Muschamp does. Muschamp was doing the drill sergeant look stuff at practice sometimes and on the sidelines in some games. That won't work too good with these players getting paid now.

Boom is back doing what he does best now. I really thought he was going to pan out as a HC, and honestly I think he would have been better than the two idiots we had between Mack Brown and Sark.

They teach history at Texas? North Carolina was one of the seceding states.

They teach geography at aggy between meat gazing? He said "southeast" and nothing about former Confederacy or the general political "South".

He doesn't want Texas, aggy, pig or Mizzery in the SEC because we aren't "Southeast", yet North Carolina is somehow?

So glad Texas in the conference but it’s seems many of you Texas fans don’t want the SEC title game. I was at the first game with Florida in 1992. I’m one of those who values that game. I would not want to see it go.

Of course if doesn't mean as much to us since we've only been in the SEC a hot minute, but I think most Texas fans would cherish the SECCG a lot more if the playoffs were still just 4 teams. Since the expansion to 12 (and likely 16 or 24 soon) and ND getting a special deal with the CFB playoff committee, anyone playing a conference championship game is simply gaining more wear and tear on the starters not to mention potential injuries, and that goes for the winner of the conference as well. Since we already have 9 conference games do we really need another meeting (which most years could be a rematch) that only weakens the top two SEC teams?

aggy never sniffing the SECCG in spite of 12 years in the league and consistently high pre-season rankings for at least 11 of those?

Not really that surprised, but wow

Same way a coach with zero actual playoff wins is ranked just above a coach who has 3?

Warranty ran out, time to dump

Take away wins over non P4 Little sisters of the poor programs and rank again.

Double takeaway if any of those wins were over FCS programs. Lolz

I don't have a problem with the nine-game conference schedule. It should have been that way 10 years ago. What I do have a problem with, however, is Sankey mandating that we all play at least one OOC P4 team when the Committee has indicated that they only care about W/L and not SOS.

^^ TSRH

We screwed ourselves by scheduling tOSU in addition to the 9 conference games. Sure if we beat the suckeyes it will mean a huge jump in poll ranking, but at what cost if we lose a couple starters for the season with injuries? Meanwhile * insert SEC team * is playing Southwestern Delaware School of plumbing and custodial arts the same week thereby giving their starters a break and a chance for younger players to get some game experience.

Yes, it's self inflicted, but OOC games are scheduled many years in advance.

It definitely isn't what it used to be, and my frame of reference is the late 90's/ early 2k's.

19 year old me got lit up by a cop for driving the wrong way through a closed Zilker Park at 11pm, and doing it in a bright red 300ZX with my drunk roomie in the lone passenger seat and a (thankfully unopened) 12 pack of beer visible in the small cargo area behind my seat.

Penalty? Being lectured on how the park was closed and I need to pay attention to one way signs. *Thank you officer!*

I hadn't started drinking yet (we were on our way to a party and my roomie convinced me to pull in Zilker so he could piss behind a tree) but even so there is no way college kids of 2026 face a cool APD officer like that. Back then it was understood college kids do dumb things, but the city itself hadn't gotten out of hand yet.
