How many teams will be left when the dust settles in a few years? I think there's a way for all the teams to still have some involvement. I will explain that at the end of this list. Here's my list of the top 32 programs and a list if it goes to 48. There's some debate if it goes to 48, but not much debate if it stops at 32. I guess one could debate Arizona State, but that's about it. The top 32 at least come close to carrying their own weight. Everyone below that line is losing money for t

This is great content for free.

Aggy should abstain so the vote is 13-0 and then we can then brand it on their dog.

What can I say?  The Big Ten is a tougher football conference than the Big XII.  I mean, look at Maryland. Nebraska has a tough time beating even them.  You guys know Maryland, right?...

Thats adorable that you came over here to visit. 
 

I wish we had players with such high moral fortitude like Richie Incognito or Ndumbass Suh.

Enjoy you trash academics, and even worse athletics.

This is the "big boy" football that Looch and the rest of those idiots keep talking about.

Yeah but a lot of those losses are to other SEC teams which is basically a win vs a team from a regular conference

You were 7-0 against Big Ten teams while in the Big XII. Your argument sucks, and you suck.

That makes me wonder where Lowell Galindo will wind up?
Everyone should spend some time watching SECN and Paul F. You may miss Lowell before too long.

I wonder if there will still be a need for what he does calling sports and pre game shows, just much less of it. I hope they find a way to put the LHN content on E+ or SECN+ and they keep up the pregame/halftime stuff for at least the big 3 sports. For all the LHN grumbling, it goes a long way to connect far away alumni to UT. And nothing better to indoctrinate my kids in all thing UT from a time zone away.

Says the guys who hope to ride Oklahoma's coattails into the SEC.  Do you think if it were an Oklahoma / Oklahoma State offer it would be a deal breaker to the SEC?...

...me neither.

 

Considering that has been tried at one point previously and the SEC said no thanks.....

Could We Survive As Independent?

Basketball is easy. They practically are independent. We won't receive much money if we are out of P5 and recruiting will now be even harder against equal weights like TCU, SMU, Rice and UH. Hell even San Marcus may be an equal.

I am just throwing this out but I would rather be Indy and play a major schedule against SEC dream teams that will want an off week. Imagine a schedule of LSU, Arkie, Ole Miss, MSU and maybe a Florida or Auburn thrown in with our usual Liberty's, Sul Ross etc.

When UH first began playing football they only scheduled SEC teams or Oklahoma teams. They were getting their heads handed back to them on a platter until they got a real coach named Yeoman and the tables turned.

Instead of losing to Ole Miss 44-3 they started whipping Ole Miss 65-0 until the SEC quit calling. If Aranda can recruit and perform as expected we shouldn't be afraid to play anyone

Love the Bama Chick dropping in to tell our fans how it is. 
 

Horseshit. I was at the 09 Rose Bowl and in Vegas. A more entitled arrogant fan base there is not. 
 

The LSU fans at DKR were 50% cool 50% swamp trash. 
 

We have no monopoly on shitty fans

Well, it seems that aggy is about done with their hysterical temper tantrum, and is now just back to being resigned to being the bottom bitch they always have been, so….back to the Steel Shank thread! I think I have some saltines and Crystal hot sauce around here…

I came here looking for updates, for some reason found an idiot from Nebraska, then read this post and thought: Holy shit, I have a tin of smoked oysters in the cupboard, some crackers, and a bottle of crystal, plus I’m kinda drunk..

 

Something good has come of all this madness. Realignment is already working out.

So...Nebraska REALLY DID have Oklahoma and Texas pegged correctly in 2010, right?  Ten years of faux outrage and butthurt by both institutions duly noted. 

That is all.

The guilt is almost too much to bear. I guess we'll just have to console ourselves with this:

One of the best videos of all time.  Bitch would not be denied.

Have never seen this. Where the hell have I been? This is amazing. I am now fully on board with joining the SEC.

Believe that was OU Bama Sugar Bowl that OU won iirc.

The husband turning his head for half a second when she is acting a little calmed down and the kicking at the end, it’s just perfect.  I’ve watched it 20 times in the last 15 minutes

Yeah watch the Raiders crow about cockroaching us in 2008, and watch the 2015 UT-oSu referee-palooza again, and you'll quickly stop feeling any sympathy for either of those fanbases.

 

This.  Remember all the times our ethical and trustworthy “partners” demanded B12 refs be held accountable for biased game calling like in that 2015 OSU game (or any of the numerous other shit called games throughout the years)?    Yea, me neither.  Just crickets and mocking.    Bite the hand that feeds you and such.  Fuck them.

ESPN and possibly Longhorns are playing chess and SEC commissioner is playing checkers.Posted on 7/24/21 at 10:08 pm

It's funny that everybody believes the SEC will somehow benefit from this when only the networks benefit. 

1) The contracts are negotiated based on the number of new households. We, former Big 12 teams, found this out the first time when Texas & OU tried to bolt for PAC 12. Texas brings no "new" eyeballs and Oklahoma is the 28th largest state (not impressive). *Note: a North Carolina (9th largerst state)and Virgina (11th largest) school addition would maximize revenue for the SEC. 

2) ESPN gets to get rid of the Longhorn Network before 2025. They've already lost $50M on the venture and want to drop it ASAP. They get to add great content for less money. 

3) This could be a ploy by OU and Texas to draw out potential partners. They say they want to go to the SEC to see if the Big Ten or PAC will offer more money

I know it's a popular jape to mock the ags with this, but the 2011 team was 6-6 (4-5 vs. B12) in the regular season.  They weren't going to miraculously dominate the B12 and challenge for the national championship the next year.  The B12 was accustomed to offenses like theirs and the SEC was unprepared for it.
Johnny 8 ball wasn't their QB in 2011, and Mike Evans hadn't arrived on campus yet iirc. You're right they likely don't have a much better record in the Big12 if they stay, still fun to poke them about it.
