Probably to be able to split the gate so both schools can make money from a neutral site. It was a home and home, but the Colorado trip to College Station was canceled.

It was mainly Baylor. In hindsight, they were probably in the middle of planning what they were going to do in terms of stadium and all that at the time.

I would think the only potential issues with an East-West format (in terms of the annual matchups) are how the Mississippi and Alabama schools feel about parting ways.

Tom Herman had a better record in his four years at Texas than Bobby Bowden's last 4 years at FSU. I'm guessing that if Sark wins a national Title in his 4th season at Texas like Fisher did at FSU, then it wont be Herman getting the credit for it.

How exactly are they going to make Texas and OU stay in the future even if they did accept this 1.5 share deal now?

A&M barely choked games away in 2011. If we had had the Heisman quarterback performance in 2011 that we had in 2012, we would have likely gone 11-1….and gotten snubbed for Alabama and LSU just like Oklahoma State did.

There are additions to the SEC where pods make a lot of sense. Oklahoma and Texas...I'm not sure that pods will end up being the best solution. Adding OU and Texas means that there are 6 teams in our region (A&M, Texas, Oklahoma, LSU, Arkansas, and Missouri) which are difficult to divide into pods. Arkansas in particular should probably have and will likely want yearly games with Texas, A&M, Missouri, and LSU. A&M will want to keep an annual game with LSU. I presume that Texas and A&M and Texas and Oklahoma will be required games, etc. Moving Alabama and Auburn to the East, Missouri to the West and eliminating cross division rivalry games is so simple, that I think the conservative SEC will do that rather than create a pod system. Both divisions would be pretty balanced on paper. It would solve the SEC's current scheduling issues that necessitate cross division rivalries (which currently primarily have to do with getting Tennessee-Alabama and Auburn-Georgia, and Arkansas-Missouri on the schedule every year. Two 8 team divisions wont get every team playing every other team every two years, or hosting every four years, but it would make the cross division games more common than they are now, assuming the schedule will definitely go to 9 games. The negatives would probably mainly be related to splitting the Alabama and Mississippi schools from each other, but I have no idea how strongly those schools view those games.

The SEC membership (including A&M, regardless of how "reluctant" we'll make it seem to the media) will likely unanimously vote based on one thing...how many extra dollars the deal extracts from Disney and/or Fox and adds them to their bottom line.

A&M has played a team from the Big 12 in their bowl game in 3 out of 6 years since moving to the SEC

Ill let you know next time I run in to pick up some eggs

The line got fucked up because of the interception. Change of possession, review changing it back because Mond was down. If you see highlights of the Mond interception you will see the yellow line on the 43 yard line. On the next play after all of the review, there is an incomplete pass to the TE to the near sideline. The yellow line is now on the 41 and you can also see the first down stick of the near sideline and it is two yards closer to the line of scrimmage than the line.

Whether you are on the line of scrimmage is not determined by feet (which is obvious considering how a three point stance works) but by your entire body and helmet. They would be on the line of scrimmage as long as some part of their body/helmet is even with the center's waist. So you could have 4 WR standing with feet in similar spots, but some could be on the line of scrimmage by leaning out more than the others, for example. As mentioned above, if all 4 were on the line it would not be a foul, it just means that only the outermost one is an eligible receiver.

Chiseled in stone? I'm getting that Times-Picayune article tattooed in its entirety on my ass

I imagine that any "media" who you want to suck up to and who also do pretty much no actual work at the game so that they would need to be in the press box pretty much would always get on the sideline just as a goodwill gesture.

Meh, I could give a shit if you believe the photos are edited or not. They dont seem to be, and what the fuck would be edited when they just show the same fight that is already posted everywhere. I'm fairly sure that Joe Blow on the internet isnt putting Hollywood alterations in a youtube video either. The video was the main thing that showed something differentfrom stuff Ive seen elsewhere. I saw it on my twitter feed, not Texags, but Im sure also posted by an Ag. I registered 40 minutes ago because this was my first post on this site. I had many posts on the previous version.
