re: Fans of the Original 10 SEC Schools

Not true. Texas would have joined Arkansas in 1991, but the other Texas schools went to the Legislature and lobbied to keep Texas was leaving. Bob Bullock, the Lt. Governor, graduated from Texas Tech and Baylor, and Ann Richards was also a Baylor graduate. The University was threatened with a massive cut in appropriations is it left for the SEC, so Texas stayed and South Carolina got the spot instead. The SWC was a one state conference and Texas has 7% of TV viewers at the time, not enough to get a national TV contract. The old Big Eight states also had about 7% of the TV viewership, so ultimately the merger between the Big 8 and some SWC occurred. Bob Bullock made sure Texas Tech and Baylor got to go with A&M to the Big 12 and the SWC died. TV killed the SWC.

I don’t believe this is true in Year One.

Didn’t Barry eventually admit that the spying allegations were true?

I believe that the Tennessee defense made our OL look much worse than they are.

It’s historically been a streaky series and Rexas now has the streak in our favor.

More likely a schedule with Louisiana Tech, Louisiana Christian, Southeastern Louisiana, McNeese, Louisiana at Monroe, Nicholas State, Tulane, Northwestern State, Louisiana at Lafayette, Southern, Grambling, and Istrouma High.

Yes they do. Golden Cowboy Hat. Still smarting from our last trip to Tuscaloosa?

We have played at Ohio State, Michigan, Georgia, A&M, and Alabama, among other large, loud venues. We set attendance records quite often when we play on the road. We’ll handle it.

It would take that. Historically, Arkansas, like Oklahoma, got most of their players from Texas high schools. Even with $50 million, they’re competing with SMU, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, A&M, and Texas, as well as LSU and the other SEC schools west of the Mississippi River for that same talent.

All four Power Four Conferences play nine games. Deal with it.

He was just extended. Again, like Florida State and A&M, they can’t afford a buyout.

Georgia Tech has been mediocre for decades. They almost do not qualify as a real Power 4 team. It’s a guaranteed win for Georgia annually.

Congratulations from Austin on that sweet contract extension for Coach Venables!

We’re set at QB. Arch is coming back for another year.

All of the Power Four Conferences play 9 conference games. Saban proposed 10.

We really don’t care about the “UT” stuff. We’re Texas. We have 9 other UTs in our system, such as UTSA. Houston alone has a larger population than the State of Tennessee.

LSU was national champion in 1959 and were quite respectable in the 1960s. Cholly Mac just couldn’t get past The Bear.
