UT, OU, and SEC?

[dukesteer]

This take might be a bit out there but I believe the possibility exists that emergency, secret meetings could be taking place in the B1G and the PAC 12. If those leagues ever wanted to make a play for Texas and OU and perhaps agree to make the necessary sacrifices, now would be that time.

While I expect that the SEC could be a done deal, the fat lady hasn’t sung yet.

 

[dukesteer]

Let me add that I believe the league that would most benefit from adding Texas & OU would be the PAC 12… (Perhaps that is obvious.)

You think Texas and OU is a surprise...this would be earth changing.

Could Michigan, Ohio St, Clemson, and Florida St bolt to SEC?



If this happens then you could have 4 five team pods. Might look something like this:

Texas
A&M
OU
Arky
LSU

Miss St
Ole Miss
Auburn
Alabama
Kentucky

Ohio St
Michigan
Clemson
Florida St
South Carolina

Georgia
Florida
Tennessee
Vanderbilt
Missouri

Whether it happens or not it is really fun to see the ol red face Aggies out in full force…”vote in this poll…SEC lied to us…our AD should be fired…we should go independent…tu will pay the refs…” it’s really crazy.

And I like what this writer at Buckeyeswire has to say about UT
What if the Big Ten were to revisit expansion? Ten teams that make sense.

Except Texas is not OSU in burnt orange. Michigan maybe, but not OSU.

Baylor is private. F them.

aggy was dead against this until reality slapped them in the face (13-1 in favor). Now they are on board (albeit being dragged kickin and screamin).

Classic aggy.

Clayton Williams said it best. Sometimes you just have to lay back and enjoy it...

 

[zuckercanyon]

This is pure genius and makes perfect sense geographically and logically. Therefore, it probably won't happen....

“Our friends at UH…”

Never, never, ever heard that from an ag before.

Something like this is probably inevitable, give it time. I don’t think the PAC would take Baylor over TCU, notwithstanding BU’s recent basketball success. Too much lingering stench at Baylor. If you think concern for women’s’ sports and equal rights among the sexes is big around here, you should see the West Coast. USC’s new President is a rather extreme feminist. I can’t see Baylor getting the nod. BU’s misogyny is off the charts.

Plus TCU is a much better cultural fit—think USC ($$$$$). In West Coast terms, TCU = Pepperdine in cowboy boots and with an overachieving football team. Now TCU may reap the benefits from admitting all those students from California over this last decade or so. There’s at least a bit of a tie there.

That was inevitable. Not half bad!

Might as well resurrect this gem from 2011. It's even funnier now.

Am I the only one that can’t open this one?

Yeah, I can’t get it on my smart phone, just get the ad.

go to YouTube and search for “hitler OU texas” and it will come right up

here’s the link

Same here, but the ad is at the END of the video. You have to rewind to the beginning.

How could people on a message board about a college be expected to figure that out?

[Chop]

Hmmmmmmm. So now they’ve flip-flopped back again to the position that they (aTm admin) were kept in the dark by their SEC brethren?

The aTm admin looks like crap whether they were in on the news or not, so they might as well be upfront about it and stop flipping back and forth.

Part 2 of that article should be headlined: “Aggies Finally Learn Not To Trust Their Administration.” But that might be asking a lot of that crew…

I'm old (born during the Eisenhower administration*) and can't keep up with all this technology.


*but rather late during his 2nd term, mind you

I will never understand why you feel the need to be the hypocrisy sheriff around here.
I also don't think many here necessarily think it's a great day in Texas if we join the SEC.
I am one that has never liked the SEC and would almost rather see us go independent.
But having absolutely zero control of the situation I will find the positives and support the only team that matters to me.

Because I place a high value on integrity.

If you care about the long-term success of Longhorn athletics (not just football), this move is gangsta. TV and streaming deals for rights will be maximized by this move. And NIL levels the "recruiting" advantage.
