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.

Then fine, the SEC will just fill all four spots, and no playoffs for you.

Somehow I don't think the other conferences will like that very much.

Especially when ratings plummet and there are only 6 people outside the SEC footprint watching and they vote that must win your conference to get in.

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

That is very strange.    I have known folks who went undergrad at one school and then Grad or Whatever Professional Degree at another  and have more of an affiliation  or affection with the later.    Even a few who went to aggy for undergrad and UT for Grad or Med/Pharmacy/ Law  School.  You would never know they were aggy if they didn't tell you or see their undergrad diploma on the wall. Any self respecting person who went to UT for both undergrad and grad school would need to have their heads examined if they joined the cult of aggy, IMO.  I don't care if they were trying to impress and keep a lady happy  if she is aggy.    I'd go to a game with her, but never in the world would I wear aggy shit to make myself feel like I'm part of the cult for one day.  

I can confirm.  In addition to my undergrad from Texas, I have a graduate degree from a university in the midwest which is generally not known for fielding competitive sports teams.  I have a token amount of gear from that school, and I do wear it on occasion.  But over 90% of the time, I wear my Texas gear.  I look back on my four years in Austin very fondly, they went by way too quickly.

What an embarrassment this whole thing is. The state of Texas got played like a fiddle by Bama and a northeastern sports broadcasting company.

Power conference based in Texas? Nope

Texas recruits leaving the state in droves? Yep

Any control over what is happening? Nope

Texas has been raped, pillaged and burned to the ground.

I miss Big East football. csb years ago me and my hoodlum friends sat in a Mexican restaurant once and the only football on the screen was Big East. We all immediately started shouting at the screen in our best fake manhole-cover-factory accents.

GO FREAKIN PITT

Little waiter dude sneakin around the edge, scared to give us more beer, scared to not give us more beer.

So I’m headed to Napa tomorrow with three other couples and just realized each couple is affiliated with a different SEC school: Texas, OU, Florida, and A&M. I feel like some sort of action should be taken. Thoughts?

Pods ?

Yeah V Sattui, Stag's Leap, and Matthiason are where you want to be 

if you like port, Prager is across the street from V Sattui.  Allegedly by appointment only but I've rolled in and they dgaf.  Run by 3 brothers it is a different experience from the rest of Napa, dusty, lots of random dollar bills stapled on the walls and fucking amazing dessert wine

Its been a few years since I went but if you want some other unsolicited recs and they havent burned down, Joseph Phelps in St Helena is reservation based but off the charts good.  Also: Trefethen (Small family owned), Newton, Hall, Stags’s Leap Winery, Chateau Montelena , Frank Fanuky, Duckhorn

Are SEC schools taking a significantly larger % of their rosters from Texas HS players today than they were pre-A&M joining? Would be interested in real #s.

Not from the top 100.  Although they did pretty well in 2020.

How do we measure the success rate?

Went to a bowl? Started? X years? Drafted?

Raw numbers of bodies is a bare minimum. It doesn't explain success or failure.

I like Sequoia Grove.  I used to like Cakebread, but haven't been impressed lately.  May be because it has to travel to Georgia.

You should only tell the sooner and gator about your joke...when just the gents are having some scotch, suggest a nice circle jerk and watch aggy's face light up as he enthusiastically supports your great idea.  You can all laugh at him the rest of the trip...

Naw, ESPN, in cahoots with the SEC dictated what was to happen and everyone said yes sir. UT didn't have a say in the matter. Clearly there was no plan from any of the Big12 or Texas schools, just got played and then did what they were told.  

I thought hebolios was the dumbest poster on this site. Congrats. You're somehow dumber than someone dumber than a bag of hair.
