[quote]It further screws up bowls, many of which ESPN owns, and you know they want that revenue from a BC/Kent State battle in the Bahamas.[/quote]Dude, the bowls are dead. ESPN'S plan with the SEC is the new model- the entire conference season will be "bowls"- big name teams facing off. Then, a...

[quote]’d much rather be in an 8 team division with bama and ark moving out and ut and ou moving in while doing away with the UF permanent opponent. That would have LSU having a very doable path to the playoff every year. [/quote]You could say LSU could have moved to the Big 12 and found the sam...

[quote]Is this really good for Lsu? Seems lsu will basically be in the early 90s big 8 and not in the sec? [/quote]I think it will be, in the long run. My prediction is this- the NCAA is about to die, and we're going to see the major conferences in an all-out war to take over the top tier of col...

[quote]I'm not worried about anything Texas. I'm worried about what the frick they are doing to the sport and where this is leading. This is not SEC football. [/quote]I honestly think the endgame is this- They want to completely take over bigtime CFB. Eliminate the Power 5 conference idea, ma...

I remember Texas playing at Tulane a few years back. And Texas A&M played at (and lost to) ULL back in the late 90's. This might be one of the reasons they want out of the Big 12; a premier team should have the leverage to never schedule a road game against a G5 team. ...

[quote]I've never been bitten by one, but I've read the bite is pretty nasty. Not like a recluse or widow, but still above-average as spider bites go. [/quote]I think the venom is relatively mild, but I suspect you'd get a BIG dose relative to most spider bites. I mean, most spiders are small, find...

[quote]more lack of context. we shoulda won that game by 21. [/quote]Supposing they hadn't fumbled without being touched on the first drive; snapped the ball over the punter's head; and threw a careless pass instead of kneeling out the half: how do you think that first half would have went? We ...

[quote]Nikita Wilson--basketball (1986)[/quote]Dude was a warrior. Proof you didn't have to have all-world skills to be very good. He was solid defensively and rebounding, for 6'9. He wasn't particularly graceful, or loaded with moves. He really only had one shot; a little turnaround jumper. But lik...

They used to grow around my parents' back yard when I was a kid. Never used to bother me... we had a pool. One night I went swimming, came out and walked between the table (with an umbrella) and the pool fence. Walked through a web in the dark, and one of those motherfrickers started running all o...

I see there's a lot of single downvotes here, whenever somebody brings up the truth on that season. :lol: None of our QBs were any good that year, but we were going to win 11 games regardless, due to the incredible defense and solid running game. And the objective thing is, Alabama was the slight...

[quote]If OSU and Michigan join will the SEC get a new name? Could see Clemson and UNC join too.[/quote]Yes. Add Texas, Oklahoma, Michigan, Ohio State, Clemson, and Notre Dame, and rename it the Supreme Elite Conference. Divvy up the teams to rough geographical pods, have a regular season an...

[quote][quote]Bama’s kicker won us that game[/quote] Actually Les Miles won us that game. He completely outcoached Nick Saban that entire game. In fact, If you had flip flopped the 2 coaches, this board wouldve lost its mind, running CLM out of town. [/quote]Yep, truth here. Bama's kick...

[quote]laughable that anyone on here thinks that a coach of any womens'/non-money making sport factors into any of this "super conference" expansion plan[/quote]Nobody's saying that :rolleyes: A baseball coach, or a women's basketball coach, can make big money at a school that's getting stupid b...

Nice "let's troll Auburn" thread :lol: I appreciate the Oklahoma fan who said let's wait and see where things shake out first. Nothing's a given when entering another conference, especially one acknowledged as way more competitive. Arkansas was generally considered top 2-3 SWC, made a little n...

Interesting stuff popping up. Kansas talking to the Big 10; with the stature of their basketball team, I think they get in. It helps to be elite in a sport. Looks like they're towing Iowa State, not Kansas State. I don't know the school histories, I guess you can't go from zero to 2 Kansas schoo...

Miss State needs to offer a deal to the SEC, to help other conference members get their fields up to par. And the conference really should work on making grass the only option. It's a big enough issue that some NFL players won't go to a team with a rug. ...

Yep, this just can't work as a sustainable model. If I'm TCU, I'm talking Baylor into leaving with me, to form a "sorta big" conference with Boise, UCF, and a few others. ...

[quote]If the women's basketball coach at Baylor knew this was coming we would all know. There's no way reporters wouldn't have gotten wind of this if the non revenue coaches all knew. I bet this was basically between the Presidents, ADs, and more than likely the head football coaches. This was k...

[quote]Hearing a lot of speculation that we could end up with thee Super Conferences when it is said and done. My guess is Big 10, SEC and PAC 12, maybe?[/quote]I can't see 3. I know the Orwell 1984 model supports 3 superpowers keeping each other in check, but I don't see that being the case in CFB....

[quote]What power? And do you really want the SEC regulating and sponsoring all those championships in softball,volleyball and all those other sports in other divisions?[/quote][quote]What specific rules do you want changed?[/quote]It's not about what [b]I [/b]want. I think things were fine. I li...
