    If the SEC expanded it would be with ACC schools.  Just about any ACC school (not named Wake Forest) from Miami to Pitt in the North would do more for the SEC than tripling down on the state of Texas or doubling down on the small state of Oklahoma.

    If they expand, it would have to be to get to 20, 24, or more and the Big 12 doesn’t provide enough quality for them to take even 4 teams which limits how many times the SEC can showcase games between its top 8 fb schools, as none of the Big 12 expansion candidates would be of that caliber.

    If they add schools like Neb/PSU then you might see them add a few Big 12 schools to round out the numbers but it would likely be Kansas (to pair with Neb, OU, and Mizzou) or West Virginia (to connect Penn St).  If they take FSU/Clemson then there are far more options readily available to the East that would be more desirable (UNC, Duke, UVA, VT…just imagine the basketball you could have with UK, KU, UNC, and Duke in the same conference)

    Tech and Okie State’s best hope is the PAC re-evaluates their membership as they get closer to their next TV deal because putting any hope that the SEC comes calling is not a good bet.

     

    I agree that Tech and oSu are not their top targets. But (a) they help solve the GOR issue with the Big12 and (b) they further solidify the huge Texas market (c) ESPN and the SECSECSEC aren't building a conference, they are building a league and somebody has to be the Detroit Lions of said league

  2. Look, I'm not a fan of the new future of CFB either but I'm not sure I can deny that a massive downsizing is the further ala an NFL lite style league free from the shackles of the NCAA.

    The SECSECSEC's move to add OU and Texas was the latest step in that direction.

    Had the BIG/PAC/ACC all followed suit, the first culling of the herd would have occurred with 64 teams being the magic number in a neat and tidy 4x16 setup.

    And it's theorized that after a few years another downsizing down to 32 would occur. Yikes! That leaves out a lot of good teams. Definitely not a fan of that but one thing to be certain of, if you want to be one of the 32, you best be one of the 64.

    This would have, more than likely, given a landing spot to most of the remaining B12 and that league would be no more. So yeah, Tech and oSu were hoping for a landing spot in the PAC.

    But if the 4x16 does not happen, then the push to 32 or perhaps 48 might happen sooner than later and it is that scenario in which Tech and oSu to the SECSECSEC is entirely possible.

    You're obviously much smarter than me. Explain to me why the SEC needs Tech. 

     

    They don't.

    But the BIG/PAC just proved they are no longer interested in big boy football - well, the future of big boy anyway - they still want to hold onto the past.

    The SECSECSEC would have been fine with 16 if everyone else moved that way too. Why? Because the Big12 would have been spread around and it would be officially dead. No GORs. No payouts. 

    The news of this week shows that the BIG/PAC are unwilling to play their role in this re-imagining of CFB as we know it.

    The SECSECSEC will move the needle forward on their own if they have to and it is at that juncture we now sit. ESPN is driving this as well as it is they who are writing the checks. If taking a couple more BIG12 teams does that (dissolving the conference) then yeah, that's exactly what they'll do.

  4. Does anyone really think the SECSECSEC is gonna stand at 16?

    The SECSECSEC is pushing for a new league, not just a new improved conference.

    The lame alliance presser yesterday and the PAC's announcement today says that they're perfectly happy to remain living in the past. 

    I fully expect the SECSECSEC to go ahead and make the move to 20-24 rather quickly and it'll probably includes some of the leftover 8 which would also move the needle closer to getting out of the B12's GOR.

    Grab Tech, oSu from B12 and FSU, Clemson from ACC to get to 20 and make overtures to SC, Oregon, Mich, tOSU to see how serious they are about their devotion to the Rose Bowl.

    The Big 12 is the #2 RPI conference and potentially 4 teams in the top 15 of RPI. 

    I would be shocked if the Big 12 doesn't get at least 2 national seeds. That final national seed might come down to TCU and Tech though. 

     

     

    I hope not. That would mean the 8/9 pairing for the super.

    Wow, that’s awesome. At a time when words are hard to come by, those are perfect.

    Thoughts and prayers for the Texas and Ehlinger families.

    The Doc Chilton and Champurrado were both badass when I went in 2018.  The rest of the beers werent good tho. That was a while back so maybe theyve gotten better?

    I prefer porters and stouts so the Champurrado was my fav.

    I was impressed how they have a something for everybody. I enjoyed everything in the taster. Was pleasantly surprised actually because to be honest, I chuckled a bit when I saw the USA Today ranking.

    Because you don't think there are any 25-40 yo stuntwomen who look enough like JLD?  

    Re: the woke moment.  Maybe a bit too preachy, but the real problem was the clunky dialogue.  Like the scene was scripted the day of shooting.  And back when Falcon became Captain America in the comics a few years back, didn't the blue pill comic nerds flake out too?  Seems like a theme of somekind.

     

    Has nothing to do with her age and everything to do with it being HER. 😂

    You're on your own with that one.    She was great.   Cant wait to see how that character fits/works.

     

    As I said to Guadalupe, my issue with JLD is that, according to what's been said, her character was supposed to have been revealed in BW.

    So, and again I say this knowing nothing about the character, if she's a female badass from the world of BW, then I assume that she also mixes it up in hand-to-hand fighting and combat. It is this that I'm having difficulty with.
