  1. The "part 1" video in the twitter link above shows the goal line INT that was called an INT on the field.

    Tech was flagged for excessive celebration after the play.

    The play was reviewed and reversed without conclusive video evidence. The celebration penalty was enforced.

    This was the straw that broke the camels back.

    Throughout the game there had already been a handful of close-could go either way-calls that video evidence was inconclusive so the calls on the field should have stood. However, a reversal occurred every time the call on field favored Tech and the play stood if the call on field favored the Clones. Every. Time.

    But, the nonsense actually began in the 1st qtr on a play ruled an INT for the Clone defense in which a review never took place.

    Tech took a timeout to get a review and still didn't receive one.

    This. At some point actual enjoyment of going to and playing the game has to trump TV slots. With todays TV streaming capabilities this is one thing that needs addressing.

    You want a Texas noon game in August/September... you play it indoors somewhere.

    have noticed that that shining and wonderful conference you just joined - the SOUTHEAST Conference - you, know, in the south east - the humid. south. east - plays an awful lot of day games too???

    i hope you're right, but i have a sneaky suspicion that we end up staying until 2023 as a way to avoid the GOR loss. 

    If the Mouse wants you in your new house by '22, the Mouse will do what's necessary to make that happen

    The Big 10 and ACC aren't going to drop valuable teams for Pac teams.  Others have said the Pac is driving this.  I can't see the Big 10 seeing any value in this.  How many Big 10 teams want to play Arizona and Utah and skip Ohio St. or Michigan?

    If SC and Oregon leave, then Mich and tOSU will follow them to “Japan” to join the SECSECSEC in ESPN’s Blue Blood League

    SEC wants UT and OU because (despite already making a shit ton of money) those two schools will make the conference (and the other 14 teams) even MORE money. Tech and Osu do not. 

    You know what else gives them a shit ton of money?

    ESPN’s League of Blue Blood College Football which is where this is all going.

    There’s actually several things that can be all happening at the same time.

    * the ESPN and SECSECSEC want an expanded CFP ($$$$$$)

    * the “hand shake alliance” is a voting block against CFP expansion unless concessions are made that guarantees they each get 2 teams in

    * the PAC not expanding might be an indication that it is they who might implode with USC and Oregon heading west to join the League of Blue Blood College Football

    * the remaining B12 are scrambling to find new landing spots for both the long term and short term (short term being 3-5 yrs)

    * The non SEC blue bloods are posturing and saying one thing publicly while trying to figure out how to leave their respective conferences and media deals

    * If no “alliance” blue bloods leave now, the the League of Blue Blood College Football will take other teams as a stop gap for the short term to get things rolling. This is how Tech and oSu get in the mix. 

    * It’s possible that Big12 expansion talks are including non-blue bloods from the “alliance” conferences just to test the water. If true, the League of non-Blue Blood College Football could be pretty good and be worthy of decent media attention ($$$)

    It’s fascinating to watch how all the pieces and moving parts are playing out.

    But, having said all that, I hope none of it happens. And I don't say that because I pull for a team that isn’t a blue blood. I say that because I don’t wish to see CFB become NFL lite.

    This entire post pre-supposes an endgame but doesn't explain WHY the SEC would move that direction.

    Very true. And it’s an end game that I don’t want to see happen. 

    But let me ask you this, and this is not meant as an insult to the home team of this community here, why did the SECSECSEC need Texas and OU?

    It was asked above why does the SECSECSEC  need Texas Tech

    Same can be said of the Sooners and Horns - while it’s great for both schools, theSECSECSEC doesn’t need either of them. 

    The SECSECSEC is already dominating CFB and the playoffs. They are already printing money faster than they can spend. Their media presence is already huge - even in Texas. Their teams already get the pick of the litter in recruiting.

    But there is one answer to all of it.

    E.S.P.N.

    They want to control, it is argued they already do, but they want to run CFB free and clear of anything the NCAA has to say about it.

    But they don’t want the hassle of babysitting 120 schools.

    Nope, they want a league made up of the elite few - basically the blue bloods and a few others.

    So, start with the biggest conference first as your foundation. and then start picking off teams bit by bit.

    They probably would have been cool to stand at 16 for awhile why GORd expire but the rumblings coming from the BIG/PAC this week that they aren’t ready for change means they need to give the elites in those conferences a little nudge and they do that by moving on without them vis-a-vie further expansion now.

    And right now, the two biggest P5 free agents on the board are Tech and oSu.

    (I say free agents because we all know the B12 as a P5 is dead)
