The new world of college football: Is the SEC dying?

Hey everyone. So today we receive word (via named sources) that Nebraska will join the Big 10 Conference one year from now.

We also have received word (via unnamed sources) that Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and the Fightin' Tubervilles are on the verge of joining the Pac-10.

I still don't see how this affects the Southeastern Conference.

It's apparent that league commissioner Mike Slive has been talking with some of these schools. It's also apparent that Texas A&M is taking SEC overtones more seriously, though, as the story notes, that could be a function of ego in College Station. They have this thing about not having their lives dictated by Texas. Sound familiar?

Anyway, I still don't see the SEC changing right now. The schools that make most sense (Atlantic Coast Conference) have nothing to do with this realignment.

Do you hear any talk of the ACC disbanding? I didn't think so.

I found out who is going to be in the new SEC and even how they will be ranked. What year is the ranking for? Who knows? But the Bleacher Report continues to be the fastest source for football news. Now, if it just had something to do with reality, it would really be great.

Good game on between the White Sox and the Cubs. Both pitchers have no hitters going into the bottom of the 7th.

Well, both no hitters are gone. I guess I jinxed them.

"I've got to figure out when I'm going to make my decision, but most likely I'm going to be an Auburn Tiger,'' said Rose, a frequent visitor to campus. "No announcement yet, but you can almost bank I'm going to be an Auburn Tiger."

Man was it hot today or what? Still hot outside. just finished working on a lawn mower and had to come in and clean up. It is too hot at 10:00pm.

Yesterday the local power company had an outage starting about 7:00am. They got the power back on about 11:00am and then it kept going on an off for the next 3 hours. Now I have a double oven that does not work. A sensor blew and I had to turn off the circuit breaker. Wonder if I can guilt them into paying for the repair or replacement.

I am amused by Norm's misfortune. Does that make me a bad person?

Yes. Yes it does.

Yeah, evidently it gets hot here in Dothan. That was not in the brochure.

Good luck buddy, you'll need it.

Utility companies are a rip. I just had to pay mine in full, up front for a project before they would even order material. I wish I could get paid having done absolutely nothing.

if you can find some boiled peanuts that are as hot as the weather, things will improve.

I guess I should care about all this realignment stuff, but I am having a hard time working up interest. I think the SEC continues to kick everyone's booty whether we are 12 teams or 16.

Cincytiger knows all.
