    This really is my biggest bitch about the irate 8; they never did anything to add value to the conference. They scheduled nobodies forever to get bowl eligible, protect their coaches and cash checks. 

    Also fair. Playing prevent defense while down 14.

    I was shocked to find out that an SEC team that's played in two national championship games in the last 20 years gets better TV ratings than Texas Tech.  

    Not only that, but they're trying to act like removing the top two SEC is like removing the top two Big 12.

    Alabama
    Georgia

    Florida
    LSU
    Tenn
    A&M
    Arkansas

    Texas
    Oklahoma

    Oklahoma State
    West Virginia
    Baylor
    Iowa State
    ... who else is in the Big 12?

    A fairer comparison would require eliminating the top 7 SEC teams.

    But yeah, Tech sucks.

    I think it would depend on how long it takes the train to reach cruising speed as well as how long it takes to come to a stop.  I don’t have a lot of experience with choo choos, but my general impression is that they don’t handle like a sports car.  Also, can Ketch just pop the first pallet open as soon as it’s offloaded?  Not really enough information to give a definitive answer.

    Can't be unloaded by non-union folks. Sorry, pal, that's the regs.

    You’re not. Most people feel bad for the team’s fans (or themselves if they are fans of the team) when a player buttfucks the franchise with hood outs, trade demands after signing new extension (eg Handjob Watson), or if they take such a high percentage of the salary cap that the team can’t afford good enough complementary players to compete for championships (eg most NFL teams after a start QB gets their first $40M/yr extension, or Washington Wizards after giving Wall or Beal a supermax). The player gets their money, tries to dictate when and to where they are traded, and the original team ends up sucking. 

    The owners made all of those calls. They could simply NOT offer franchise-crippling deals or trades.

    It's very easy to not sign Kevin Durant or trade for him.
