VT and FSU was who I wanted when we expanded a few years ago. I never thought Mizzu or aTm culturally fit in the SEC and I wouldn't miss them if they left now.

FTR, I didn't like the Arkansas and USCjr picks in 1992 but I did like the 12 team, 2 division format, with a conference championship. I was hoping for Georgia Tech and FSU way back then.

I actually think both fit in culturally (MO is a lot like Kentucky and Tennessee with a divided history and parts that very different from other areas in their own state) and while TAMU is kinda odd internally the broader culture makes them fit right in too but they're both pretty far away from the conference center and I think there's something to be said for preserving the regional and individual identities. College football is unique in part because it hasn't become a homogenized product of "samey ness" but super conferences push us towards that.

When we had super conferences before (and the SEC was built from the remains of one) we didn't have a third party whose only interest was how to package us and sell us to to the most advertisers telling us what to do and who to play. Way back then in the pre-SEC and early SEC days, we all mostly had our own schedules that we were in charge of which is why both Tennessee and Florida have a long history of playing Auburn but not each other (pre-90s expansion). And why even after years of playing UGA regularly and not playing Auburn we've still played Auburn just as much as UGA (I think UGA might've moved a game or two ahead in number of meetings but it's still close).

We had been screaming that Tillman not Hyatt was the top WR to enter last season. But just like they haven't listened to us on Hyatt actually being damn good, they certainly haven't been listening to us tell them about Tillman in a season that no one but us watched the year prior.

I think of 'the ohio st' fans yelling Heup's offense couldn't develop NFL talent.

I respect Moss’s opinion but I just disagree with him. Love Tillman as well. But he isn’t on the level of a Cooper Kupp, Jamar Chase, or Justin Jefferson.

Them and BAMA and UGA. They have the most to lose because we were hair away from joining them on stage with a roster that is objectively not as talented. That should absolutely terrify them and deep down it probably does. If we do well this year they'll get even louder. If we take a small step back but still have a good season it will still scare them. Every single one of them needs to believe it was all just Hooker and Hyatt. Because if it wasn't we're a damn problem that's going to be around for a while and one that has yet to start peeling away recruits from them.
