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.

If they can drop a few teams, that's even better.

That's the next frontier of realignment.  There just aren't attractive gettable targets out there unless conferences are going to start ejecting dead weight and then merging.

If Fox would pull their head out of their ass for a minute they might see the writing on the wall. 
 

ESPN controlling 32 teams “east”, and Fox with 32 in the “west.”

 

Let Freeform, USA, and TBS fight for the leftovers.

That's likely the plan.  But FOX isn't going to overpay Washington State, Oregon State, etc., by a number large enough to keep SC and Oregon happy.  The PAC will have to work out unequal revenue distribution or go through its own realignment.  

In theory though, Big 10 goes to 20 teams.  Irate 8 add 4 PAC leftovers.  FOX owns both leagues.  That's 32 schools under their umbrella.

Texas and A&M would still be playing the Texas teams every now and then anyway and I'm sure OU will still play OSU so its not a huge ask. Arkansas and Mizzou probably wouldn't mind an extra Texas game every other year. Promise the new conference 6-10 home/away pairings each year and the value of the conference goes up while the SEC gets recruiting trips to Texas and better non-conference scheduling. Do the same thing with the B1G by taking advantage of geography to get deals with Ohio State, Oregon, Nebraska and anyone else that wants to recruit Texas. The big name schools get regular recruiting trips to Houston/DFW and the new conference get's high-value TV games.

I wonder if Urban Meyer heard SEC during the coaching search and said no thanks.  

I do wonder that. My Panhandle peep has given what was asked when it was asked. When I did ask this week about the SEC stuff, very cryptic. Guy is worth at least $500M (married to someone infamous) and apart from his long-standing offer if I ever moved back to the Panhandle I would have a good job, said "Couldn't be more pleased with how this is all going down." He was a staunch UM guy (which is why I was allowed to post that Herman was GONE the night before it happened) but he refuses to say if that was the reason or a reason. It is a bit above my paygrade.

Females do NOT peak at 18.  I can think of a couple of Longhorn girls I knew who got hotter in their 20s.

I know some in their 50s.  Hook'em!

It is a derogatory term. For many years all students at aggy belonged to the corp of cadets. The term was to imply that while aggy was off fighting wars, Texas students were at home sipping tea.

Yes. They will wind up on this site anyway...How many new members do we have since the SEC news dropped? Lurkers?

Bring 'em on. We'll crowdsource the dipshits and keep the best.

Kinda like Freshman classes at UT, actually.

At least they are trying.  More power to them.  

At least KU has something to offer -- their amazing (goddammit) basketball program, and being an actual legitimate university

Nope. Apparently she had just a day-long headache and blacked out (so a pretty bad concussion, really).

come to think of it the only SEC site I'd probably check out now is EDSBS. And that, only because I did anyway.

...is EDSBS even alive any more?

 

 

Sadly, no.  But the site lives on for our reminiscing.

Fuck that.  My Dad, proud UT graduate, did two heavy duty combat tours in Vietnam in 65-66 and 68-69.

Never have been that guy's sugar baby or anyone else's for that matter. He feels like he still owes my dad (dad was a pathologist - which i mentioned before and helped to save his life) so I am in good standing in his book. I don't know if he is on Eltife's wealth scale but he is pretty powerful in terms of assets/wealth. If the world were flooded with piss and he was in the only tree I wouldn't sleep with him. He's like a Godfather ish type. Feels like watching over what is left of my family he will absolutely help if need be.

She is one of the most amazing American women...period. Put her in bubble wrap and keep her safe, America. 

When I was a little kid I was still trying to figure out the differences between boys and girls then I saw her on the Porter Wagoner show and it all made sense

What in tar nation! I’ve heard a lot of strange shit on here but this one better go in the surly hall of fame. I’d bang that dude in a heart beat to not spend one second in a ocean of piss.

❤️ That’s incredible. I don’t have much to compare except my grandad and it’s not even close. your dad sounds like a badass. 🤘🏼
 

7th back from the  far left I the picture. He left at 15  when he left with guys from highschool to join WW2. They talked in high school one day is how he told us and the next night they all just left their homes and met up and signed up.  Your dad is a badass💕

What sucks is we never recorded what he was telling us at the time. Lost to history I guess. I will never forget his story. They just left in the middle of the night because they knew it was a big deal. He was 15. They were all listening to the radio and knew it was a big deal. 

 

Fuck the SEC, 2Live Crew on this shit.
