We’ve lost 8 games a year exactly one time in our 100+ year history.

Adding Texas and Oklahoma to our potential yearly schedule with allowing known Bammer Greg Sankey to control how our schedule shakes out would certainly increase the chances of that happening more often.

We aren’t moving to the ACC, It’s not happening. They are locked into a TV contract paying $32 million a year through 2036. That’s about half of what we’ll make when Texas and OU join and the new TV contract is set. No public university that has been getting its funding squeezed by the legislature and Covid is going to give up that extra revenue.

And that’s even assuming there is an ACC five years from now if the SEC and Big 10 decide to pick off the high value programs from it.

So Tennessee, why did you move to the ACC?

Well, to be honest, we were just too damn scared of the competition in the SEC and felt like we couldn't hang, so we ran away like a bunch of cowards. Looks like we'll have to change from orange to just pure yellow.


Eff that.

Yeah, because Walter Nolen would say to Heupel to tell him his commitment status, “wow, you won 11 games last year? Pretty impressive. Wait a second though, remember that time you went from the SEC to the ACC? Yea, I’m not coming here. Screw y’all.”

No difference than changing the name of the Southwest conference to the B12. With TAMU, MZZOU, TX, OU. Its not the SEC anymore

Only 4 members of the Southwest Conference went to the Big 12. Big 8 made up the other 8.

It’s why the Big 12 and Big 10 kept their names with obviously a different number of schools. The SEC is synonymous with big-time athletics and why teams want in. You don’t change the name brand.

Walter Nolen would say, "I'm going to play in the SEC so I can play for real championships."

I think the B10 still being the B10 is dumb as well.

We would play Texas and OU probably one out of every 4 years. I posed this to some friends as well, but I do agree that it really doesn’t change it all that much.

We should never go 0-8/0-9 in the conference.

That’s only if pod scheduling happens. And knowing Sankey, he’s going to configure whatever he has to to make sure he gives Bama the easiest path to success and give schools like us the hard path. And we should just eat it up I guess
