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.

Don’t be sorry about posting something that is 100% correct.

Complaining about that is to complain about the very essence of Surly

Pancho, what’s the badge on your avatar represent? I presume moderator? I think I’ve only seen it on Imma’s as well, not sure if Blacklab has one too.

No clue.  Haven’t even noticed!  

Now I’m like aggy after this week:

Gators loved us some Roll Left Longhorns. The Buckeyes ruining Jake the Snakes’ night completed the path to eventual Nole destruction and our first MNC.

I was in New Orleans for that game, wore a UT shirt, and didn’t pay for a drink that night.

You make a valid point but did anyone ever find out the time of the SEC meeting on Thursday?

Now the Pancho woke to nature's call, and stumbled for a tree,
Behind the bush he lifts his kilt, and gawks at what he sees,
And in a startled voice he says, to what's before his eyes,
Ah*, lad I don't know where ya been but I see ya won first prize!

Some talking head just claimed the Texas/OU game now being an SEC game will put it on the map as a big rivalry game, for fuck’s sake.

 

yep, we gotta prepare for the constant "if it's new to me, it's new to everyone!" discovering that SEC fans are going to be doing with regard to Texas and OU

Fans are one thing, but it’s ridiculous for someone paid to cover football to push that narrative. Not surprising, but still ridiculous.

What a moron.  I’m sure there are rivalries out there I’m not familiar with, but anyone who gets paid to talk sports for a living that doesn’t know the RRS is a storied rivalry should be shown the door.

Yeah, I heard that on the Finebaum video and winced. I think he was meaning more in the now elevated status of the game since we're now in the greatest conference evar! 

I am happy that the move to the SEC means Texas OU will once again have greater meaning since the Big 12 dumb championship game meant you could lose the game in the Cotton Bowl because you had a chance to win it at dumb JerryWorld. A testament to Big 12 stupidity.

Yea I saw the repeat of the Paul Finebaum show from yesterday where this was chatted about.  Didn’t get that at all due the fact it’s always made the top of the rivalry list along with Michigan/Ohio State, Bama/Auburn, Florida/Georgia, etc.   

Now what they are missing is the fact the Texas/Arkansas rivalry might be rekindled and become a big deal.   I mean some of our own fan base doesn’t know how intense it was a few decades ago thanks to them not being around to see it or not being educated about it from old timers.

Yeah, the extra s in the Arkansas tweet was a nice touch. I think, outside of aggy, that the SEC fans will enjoy our addition because as I said to my Mizzou friend, "you know what's better than having Texas in your conference...beating Texas in your conference". To which he agreed. We're everyone's favorite villain and we should be okay with that. I think Arkansas fans will love us coming back because those inbreds love to hate Texas. Beat Texas Week will return to Fayettenam.

Went looking to see if I could find a match to what either one of them is wearing. This one is nice (not a match l) but shit y’all’s stuff is expensive. Or at least the nice blazers are expensive.

About Arkansas.....

My wife (no pics assholes) got her master's degree from UT.  Her dad is an old SWC Arky fans so by default, he hates all things Texas and UT.  So, at the graduation, he wears a red shirt on purpose.  While they sang the Eyes of Texas, she looked up in the stands and saw one red dot in a sea of orange with his arms crossed while the rest of the crowd did the hook 'em horns sign.

The old Arkies absolutely hate UT and all things Texas.

So say the amateurs.
My OU pregame used to start at 7pm  Friday night on Commerce Street and usually ended around 2am Sunday morning in the Adolphus.

To be fair, that's back before they changed the concept of time and hours were only 25 minutes long.

Came into the office today, usually get in early and it's relatively empty. New chick that just graduated a few months ago from TCU is also here.

Next thing I know, she's fucking spitting fire at me about Texas" "ruining college athletics and I hope you guys lose every game in every sport for the rest of your lives! you couldn't handle losing to us every year so you grabbed your balls and went home!"

"We don't grab balls. You're thinking of the aggies. When they did that last, you fell ass backwards into this dumpster fire of a conference. You just got to take advantage of the worst decade in Texas football history and we still have a record of like 60-20 against your program. You should be thanking Texas for that last glimmer of relevance and figuring out how to help elevate the AAC to an autobid conference after it dismantles the Big 12 and hopefully, for you, grabs TCU in doing so. Regardless, you're welcome, and maybe we'll schedule y'all as a cupcake sometime in the nonconference."

Then she literally screamed at me about "not going to the fucking AAC! the SEC should be inviting us!!"

These people aren't just losing their shit online. They're also coming unhinged in-person. In any event, like TCU, I'm sure she'll be landing on her feet somewhere decent soon anyway.

Haha.  Fuckers.

I can vouch for this. In my opinion the hate is even greater than aggy and OU.  With aggy there’s an element of envy and little brother syndrome and with OU an element of respect mixed with some jealousy. 
 

Pig just straight up hates us.

The Arkies also have a weird hate for OU considering they've never really played them in anything and they're not even on OU's radar.
