Haha. The clowns up at tOSU have moved into the "we dodged a bullet" phase. . . one dude has him in the "we'll get him in the portal" and in the "we dodged a bullet" category in the same post, 😂

"We didn't want the #1 OT in the country because we have upperclassmen that will play in front of him and be upset about how much money he is getting."

Man that sounds similar to stuff we said 8-10 years ago under some bum level coaching staffs.

I will tackle this one. It really stands out.

SEC Towns From the Most Populated to the Least Populated, with the Populations in Parentheses.

1) Austin, Texas (974,447)
2) Nashville, Tennessee (692,587)
3) Lexington, Kentucky (320,347)
4) Baton Rouge, Louisiana (221,453)
5) Knoxville, Tennessee (195,889)
6) Gainesville, Florida (145,214)
7) Columbia, South Carolina (139,698)
8) Norman, Oklahoma (129,627)
9) Athens, Georgia (128,561)
10) Columbia, Missouri (128,555)
11) College Station, Texas (124,319)
12) Tuscaloosa, Alabama (110,602)
13) Fayetteville, Arkansas (99,285)
14) Auburn, Alabama (80,006)
15) Oxford, Mississippi (26,437)
16) Starkville, Mississippi (24,168)

Knoxville also has two major interstates, I-40 and I-75, running through it, and McGhee-Tyson is a decent airport, which is located only 20 miles south of the UT campus. If that constitutes remote .... What do you call Auburn, Alabama?

I'll add some additional context as it pertains to Lexington and Knoxville.

Lexington does not have a city/county (Fayette) separation. All of that 320k+ population makes up the entirety of Fayette County.

Conversely, the official city limits of Knoxville are rather small, and don't encompass the metropolitan area just outside the city limits, where the majority of people actually live. If you included all of Knox County, that number jumps to 478k+.

Now, that's still not Columbus, OH, but it ain't Mayberry, either.
