People forget that in '97 when Larson hit .381 with 40 HR and 118 RBI he wasn't the MVP in the SEC - it was Tim Hudson.

If the SEC West is as discussed:
Center of Gravity would be very close to Dumas, AR.
The center of Minimum distance would be Grenada, MS
If the SEC West doesn't include Missouri but includes Auburn:
Center of Gravity: Yazoo City, MS
Center of Min. distance: Starkville, MS

It's an interesting way to look at it. You use 360 miles and 425 miles as markers, but MSU is about 90 miles from Bama and Ole Miss, less than 250 miles from Auburn and less than 300 to LSU.

Check lsusports.net Thursday or Friday. They usually have the pregame schedule by then.

Texas A&M will play all 12 sec teams and be ineligible for SEC championship.
You must not have seen the press conference at A&M yesterday. They will be treated exactly as every other member starting day 1.
The schedule will be unbalanced with 13 teams. It is simple math. You can either have some teams play a different number of conference games, or you can have every team play the same number of conference games but a different number of divisional games. While not ideal, it makes more sense to play the same number of conference games, which is what the schedule being discussed accomplishes.

Yea, clearly these UK fans haven't followed Les. A number of them predict us to score in the 60's. I know UK sucks this year, but Les will stop running anything outside the tackles as soon as we get to the 40's.

It was then and will always be my opinion that if Herbie hadn't jumped the gun and forced Miles to adamantly deny the job, thus forcing Michigan to look elsewhere, Miles would be coaching at Michigan right now.
I seem to remember that Les was upset with Michigan for leaking the news to Herbie. Supposedly he had told the folks at UM to keep it quiet until after the SEC Championship game. When he was told of the chaos the morning of the game, he was beyond mad. Hence his demeanor at his brief pregame press conference.
re: With Texas A&M joining next year..

This is following the MAC formula. 3 West teams will play 6 games against the West and 2 games against the East. In this example, that will be Ark, Aub and A&M. The other 4 West teams will play 5 games against the West and 3 games against the East. In this case, that's Bama, LSU, Ole Miss, and Miss State.

I'm going to laugh so hard when LSU fans get their wish, whenever it happens, and Florida is no longer their permanent rival and then UF goes through a down period and Tennessee or Georgia rise back up. Florida hasn't been good forever, all these things come in cycles. Alabama was down for a decade, LSU was down basically for 20 years in the 80s and 90s and both look prime to dominate the SEC for years to come.
I love playing Florida every year. We never have to play them at freakin' 11:20! Let's face it, fans of every school bitch about something.
I do think that while UF won't always be dominant, the landscape of college football has changed in the last 10-15 years. It has become an arms race, and UF will always be better equipped for this than the other schools in the East. UT and UGA are close enough in this respect, so ultimately the better coaches will prevail.

West vs East for SEC CG. Not that hard guys.
Doesn't work. 7 West teams playing 2 games each from the East is 14 cross divisional games. 6 East teams playing 3 games each against the West is 18 cross divisional games.

Big difference between the players and his assistants. Most of his players at LSU were very happy to play for him. The seasoned assistants couldn't get out of town fast enough, but many of the younger ones put up with him because of what it was doing for their careers.

I keep seeing all these posts referring to a required of 7500 visitor seats. Is that a fact or just BB rumor?
I'm working to find the exact numbers, but 7500 is in the neighborhood. Of those approx. 7500, a certain number of them have to be in the lower bowl. Most schools put the visitors in the end zone for the lower bowl and in the top corners of the upper decks.
LSU fans have complained for years that we provide too many lower bowl seats for our visitors (much more than that required by the SEC). They have heard the complaints and eventually we should be more like the rest of the schools

I see where UT is the only visiting team to College Station that will use all of it's allotted tickets (3850). One of the many great things about the SEC is the number of tickets required of each school to provide to visiting teams. This just in - SEC teams travel well.
If and when you join the SEC, you will probably have to make 7500 or so tickets available to the opposition. The big schools will always use up their allotment, and it's not uncommon for fans of good programs to arrive without tickets. It makes for a great tailgating experience.
No other conference requires its members to provide so many tickets for the visiting school. A certain percentage of them have to be in the so called "lower bowl", but at LSU we throw in some lagniappe, though we've been working to even this out. Just one more reason that we have so much conference pride. Eat and drink before a game with your opponents' fans, and you earn some respect(except for Ole Miss). :lol:
