Tech, Clemson, FSU, Miami) add little in terms of TV markets and virtually zip to the footprint. It might make sense geographically, but this isn't a Monopoly game.

With the schedules as they are, we still miss certain big opponents for four years before they return to our conference schedule. <br /><br />You could argue that with more power teams in the power conference, you drop the non-conference games, but then the rift between conferences becomes even greater. No one plays each other until the post-season, and the lower schools have a TREMENDOUS drop off in annual athletic income. <br /><br />I think for the good of the sport, more than 12 teams might be creating a monster. A scary one that doesn't do much good for anyone not in control of it.wellsAUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950475020770427136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-39606456740679064572010-06-09T21:40:43.799-05:002010-06-09T21:40:43.799-05:00Historically, we are 10-8-1 against Arkansas.

I had hoped the SEC would spread west and Auburn would get moved into the east and play UT and UF every year, but it doesn't look like that will happen.<br /><br />The problem the SEC has is that we can only take 4 more teams. We could go after Texas, Texas A&M, Ok, and Ok State; but Texas Tech and Baylor would squeal like pigs.<br /><br />There is also the possibility of Texas Tech coming to the SEC, which would just be loaded with Ironic Irony.<br /><br />I would love the SEC to pick up another Arkansas type, and Missouri might be that team.<br /><br />I would love the SEC to grab Clempson and Georgia Tech. We have a long history with GT and Georgia has a long history with Clempson. It would be very interesting.<br /><br />FSU wouldn't be bad. <br /><br />I really wouldn't care for Miami. It is a long long way to Miami.<br /><br />Virginia Tech would be great.<br /><br />Louisville would be interesting, but I wouldn't care to see it.<br /><br />How about trading Kentucky to the ACC?

He is a modern day William J. Lepetomane.<br /> <br />His whole mantra has been reactive rather than proactive. He talks non-stop about making sure there are no teams on probation, and likes play the tough cop on "major" issues on criticizing officials. <br /><br />He seems to be the type who says "there's not a crime problem because the police haven't made any arrests."<br /><br />The moment calls for dynamic, aggressive leadership, and <br />Slive appears to be sadly lacking.Jethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14684161290555164901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-7712519189740097112010-06-09T21:15:33.685-05:002010-06-09T21:15:33.685-05:00If UNC & Puke leave whatever conference NCSU i...If UNC & Puke leave whatever conference NCSU is in, I'll eat something vile, like maybe a molecule of onion.Tar Heel Tigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01167435325748590035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-69166276720256142352010-06-09T21:08:36.571-05:002010-06-09T21:08:36.571-05:00you definitely look immenseyou definitely look immenseTar Heel Tigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01167435325748590035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-16960580379802020732010-06-09T21:08:33.523-05:002010-06-09T21:08:33.523-05:00Still no computer at home.
