I'm getting real tired of the NFL hogging the calendar
Posted by 4th and 1 on 11/28/24 at 11:24 pm
The National Championship should not be played on a weekday. The Lone Star Showdown should be played on Thanksgiving. If not for the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961, those greedy fricks would've taken over Saturdays as well...

Absolutely. More money, more games available for free on broadcast TV, better production... I do miss the old theme music though.
OU should've stayed in the Big 12

where they dominated their rivals on and off the field (recruiting, revenue, exposure, etc.) and enjoyed an easy path to the playoffs every year. That's all gone now and their move to the SEC has not worked to their advantage. And they're having a down year at a time when Texas and A&M are gaining all the momentum. If they don't turn things around soon, they could very well end up going the way of Nebraska.
You guys are much better than your record shows (got robbed by the refs vs LSU and should've beaten Bama). This could be a trap game for us.

And they still lost. There are too many good teams in the SEC and bribery can only go so far.

from the fact that Vanderbilt has a winning record against Texas (8-3-1). If the Horns thought they could just ref their way to a title like the old times, they've got another thing coming.
Thanks for the memories, Coach Saban.

Why I'd love to have FSU and Clemson in the SEC
Posted by 4th and 1 on 12/24/23 at 2:02 pm
Because frick the gentlemen's agreement, that's why. 
But all jokes aside, if we don't invite them, the B1G will.

We have ESPN to thank for this fiasco
Posted by 4th and 1 on 12/3/23 at 9:13 pm
It was never about who deserves to get in and all about attracting the eyeballs. FSU was not gonna be competitive without its starting QB and ESPN didn't want another lopsided semifinal, which would've hurt their TV ratings, so they lobbied the committee to leave the Seminoles out.
There is no playoff in college football. It's a crooked system that's masquerading as playoff.

Nick Saban lobbying for an 8-game conference schedule

Nick Saban Not Happy With SEC's Proposed Alabama Schedule
Nick Saban speaks to his support of future SEC scheduling model
Little Nicky is scared of playing LSU & Tennessee every year.
quote:
SEC officials are currently looking to decide whether to move to a nine-game conference football schedule or stay at eight games once Texas and Oklahoma join the league, and in theory Nick Saban is in favor of making it nine.
That new schedule would be different from the divisional slate, where teams play six or seven set teams each season. Instead, each school would be assigned three permanent annual rivals.
But the Alabama head football coach isn't happy with the three teams he's hearing he'll have to play every year: all rumors indicate those rivals will be Tennessee, Auburn, and LSU.
Nick Saban speaks to his support of future SEC scheduling model
quote:
Saban added that the new scheduling format is another positive now that Oklahoma and Texas are involved.
“The way we’re going to do our 7-team rotation, 1-team fixed. You’re going to play everybody every 4 years,” Saban said. “So almost every guy at your school is going to get to play every team in the conference, which I think is great as well.”

You could ask Florida fans and Georgia fans the same question.
The loss to Miami is not looking so bad after all.

Let's face it. Mizzou doesn't really belong in the SEC.
Posted by 4th and 1 on 9/26/23 at 1:48 pm
Culturally, geographically, or sports-wise. They are not even Southern and have little to no history with other schools in the conference. Their market is dominated by professional sports. Their 60k-seat stadium is tiny compared to other SEC venues, and yet they can't even fill it most of the time.
The truth is Mizzou has been an afterthought from the very beginning. When the SEC decided to expand back in 2011, the school they were really going after was A&M. But they couldn't just invite A&M alone, which would've caused divisional imbalance and scheduling problems, so they had to add another school and Mizzou just happened to be there to grab.
SEC may stay at 13 teams

Frankly, the SEC couldn't care less about Mizzou and if the Tigers ever leave, no one would notice. 11AM slots are where they belong.

SEC may stay at 13 teams
quote:
Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive welcomed Texas A&M as the 13th member of the league and said he doesn’t expect to add another team before the Aggies begin play next season.
The SEC announced Sunday that Texas A&M would leave the Big 12 to join the conference next July and will compete in all sports for the 2012-13 academic year. The Aggies are the first newcomers since South Carolina and Arkansas joined the conference in 1992.
During an event that resembled a pep rally, Slive said the SEC wasn’t looking to expand, but that A&M was too attractive an option to ignore.
SEC looking at schedule for 13 teams
quote:
Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive suggested yesterday that Texas A&M’s admission to his conference may be a one-of-a-kind play and not a pair.
“When Texas A&M joins our conference, we don’t have immediate plans for a 14th member,” Slive said during a speaking engagement in Birmingham, Ala. “We aren’t thinking in terms of numbers. We think about the strength of the SEC and the attractiveness of Texas A&M as an institution.”
The conference is working on a football scheduling formula for next season with 13 teams, Slive said.
It’s been believed that the addition of Texas A&M would prompt an additional team to the SEC to balance the divisions. Missouri and West Virginia have been frequently mentioned in that guesswork.

It sucks that this game won't be played annually anymore because of scheduling changes. So many close and entertaining games over the years despite the record.

We ain't come to play football.

We would never leap frog Oklahoma, or A&M for that matter, to get Texas. Ole Miss is obviously taken. We would very likely wind up with Missouri since I think the SEC would keep the LSU vs A&M rivalry going as a consolation prize to the Aggies for not allowing them to pummel Texas every year.
I think Arkansas would be the big loser in this format. None of your traditional rivals (Texas, A&M, LSU, Ole Miss) would play you annually anymore.

I don't think so. The whole point of a 1-7 format is to play everyone home and away over a 4-year period and for that to work, you need 6 rotating opponents.
Not a football movie, but I believe 'Revenge of the Nerds' was filmed at Kyle Field.
