Posted by Sandbagging Steve,

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.

So I was watching some TV with the wife. Did aggy really call a BOR meeting to discuss what to do about the SEC? I mean, that's just amazing. Every picture they'd painted about us is just being stripped away by their actions throughout all this. Would the SEC just say, you can go, it's cool?

That’s what we’re hoping for.

They called a meeting for Monday night.  By that time, it’s expected we will have already submitted our resignation letters to the 12. 

What aggy’ s BOR meeting could be about remains fluid as they have mentioned:

- leave SEC

- reprimand and ask for resignation of Sankey

- reprimand those who knew of UT/OU to SEC but didn’t inform the aggy BOR

- because they are dumbfucks

Some rivalries will have to die which sucks but this seems to be the best breakdown.

A : Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Missouri 

B : Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Florida

C : LSU, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Miss St

D : Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Scar

Losing LSU v Bama & Bama v Tenn would suck but I don’t see another option tbh

I wouldn't divide it like that at all. No rivalries are dying. At most schools see each other every other year.

It’s actually to see if they have enough money to remove the SEC logo off of literally every little thing associated with their pathetic university.  Sadly, the answer is no.

This has been fantastic, even better that a lot of national media types are recognizing and commenting on the insanity.

The narrative has always been "big bad Texas".  Look I'm sure we like any other partner can be a pain in the ass at times.  If you are Nebraska yea you are pissed about partial qualifiers, if you are pissed about LHN so be it (though the narrative of that has been totally misshapen but whatevs) but by and large we put up with A LOT of bullshit from our supposed partners.  There's Baylor who has a coach trying to cover up shady money by pinning the tag of drug dealer on the dead player he had been paying and oh fucking Art Briles and institutional cover up of rape/sexual assault spearheaded by the guy who prosecuted Clinton for getting his cock wet.  You got Fatterson in Fort Worth trying to cover up drug rings all the while shitting on our heads in recruiting every chance he gets.  You got OSU doing bush league shit like putting up a bunch of yellow lines on a jumbotron. The 2008 coaches poll/BCS FUCKERY.  And don't even get me fucking started on the officiating over the last decade.  Bitch bitch bitch, big bad Texas.  And yet through all of that and even as our football team has routinely rolled around in its own shit our mantra has always been, we should be better than this, we demand to be better than this...let's fucking figure this out.  All the while working with our hated rival on the field to hold shit together for a lot fucking longer than we should to the benefit of a lot of others besides the two of us.  

We have our flaws, just like any other organization but we are not some evil empire.  As it turns out we are just surrounded by a bunch of fucking neurotic, petty, vindictive chihuahuas who don't ever shut the fuck up about how we are the root of all their problem.  Maybe just maybe the sports world is finally getting a more transparent glimpse.

naw. don't make a shit. sec with aggy, sec without aggy... either way, we good

True, but I am looking to maximize my entertainment value, and aggy fighting this is highly entertaining.  The SEC would happily swap either of TX or OU for aggy.  When both are on the table aggy better be careful.

Is there a night crew/day crew thing going on here?

I think the entire point of differentiating the two was that one was more glass-half-full than the other. With this dog and pony show, it’s just Aggy making an ass of themselves so not sure it really applies

It's pretty goddamn short-sighted but it appears they've got people saying they're done donating if Texas gets in so maybe they think this will allow them to say to these morons that they tried everything they could -- and then made it 14-0 in favor of Texas-Oklahoma joining.

aggy is screwed after all this bitching....if they don't vote to let us in, it's 13-1, which makes them look so petty....but, if they do vote to let us in, it's 14-0, which makes them look petty for not voting us out....lose lose aggy...but, you are used to that.

It's brilliant. It might be we have a strong statement publicly and privately say to the sec (I will always write it this way now), you screwed up. You created this and now you are going to fix it.

We say yes to these conditions and will wholeheartedly welcome them back if X,Y,Z happens. Many avenues. tu can't have a say into the Commish, just think we could easily get 25 percent of schools to agree with this. tu would back off probably but eventually will succumb showing who the real big brother is. Just thinking out loud...

Then we can say BEVO got hit twice (once with the name) and secondly we sawed 'em off. They wouldn't have total power and BEVO's cahones aren't as big as they thought they were. LOL

I meant @jofus "already" upgraded it. They posted the original. That said if you'd like to fix my lazy ass effort feel free my friend.

I don't want aggy to leave the SEC. I want them to sit in their high chair and continue to take ass whippings all across the SEC in every sport - including from us and OU in football now (although I typically never cheer for OU in football) - for at least 4-5 years until their football program again crashes into absolute irrelevancy and they have to bolt for a conference where they can actually compete. But then will be the real piece de resistance - because they won't compete because they're aggy.

I have no idea how this all ends for everyone. Correction: for everyone but aggy. For aggy, no matter the actual outcome, we know this result with certainty: they have absolutely humiliated themselves and smeared shit all over their own faces.

That’s the funny thing, they blame us for everything bad that has ever happened to them, when actually 99% of it is completely self-inflicted.

It’s glorious. Seriously, it’s just a magnificent spectacle, one of the wonders of the world. We could destroy every gun and bullet in the world, and aggy would still find away to shoot themselves in the dick.

At least they’ll have one equal in Vandy as opposed to whoever the fuck would be number two right now.  
Someone posted USNews rankings-ish pages above...#2 now is Florida. If we join, #2 will be...Florida. And we are only 28 schools behind Vandy. But other than that...good points.
