Foley is retiring,and Spankey's ineptness will do him in eventually. No worries.

I just don't understand the need for us to "flirt" to make a point of something pointless?

Why? So we can look back and say never mind.....we just wanted to see if you get really scared because we find it funny?

I don't know. Just doesn't seem logical.

Sorry for saying post was dumb. I just didn't find it reasonable.

Why not just get the other schools together and kick Bama and UF out of the SEC.
If nothing else make a bunch of noise about the bias. I'm sure most of the other schools would agree.

Def, at least put the pressure on the SEC to be a bit more fair and tell them we will leave.

Why? Don't be a bitch about it. We had a falling out sure, but we'll just add more to the rivalry when we kick the gator arse this year and the next.

there really isn't anything good to flirt with. the pac 12 and big10 aren't happening due to geography.

so you have big 12 and acc. Big 12 has texas and is on the verge of collapse as is.

This leaves the acc which could be intriguing but i doubt it.

Sankey needs to be ousted.

Yes. Not necessarily other conferences as they presently exist, but during the next round of realignment, we should not lock ourselves in to the SEC. We should be looking at other options. If that means burning down the SEC, so be it.

Think of a Mid South/Southwest conference-call it something else, that's just my name for it. LSU, A&M, Arky, Ole Miss, MSU, Oklahoma, Okie State. That's a good start.Pick up Baylor, TCU, Houston, and one or two others, and you'd have a pretty solid conference.

The best part would be UT and Bama on the outside looking in.

Big 12 is going to expand or dissolve. But Tell them to frick off, we have lots of lawyers and are prepared to use them

Maybe the Sun Belt, Conference USA or the American Athletic Conference.

I personally would like LSU to join the Pac-12 but logistically it would not be easy. We used to play a pac-12 team about every season or two, with good results.

Yes, they should; they are treated equally.

The SEC distributed $457.8 million to its 14 members, an average of $32.7 million per school. That’s up from $21 million per school in 2013-14. As recently as 2008-09, SEC members got $13.1 million per year from the conference distribution. The SEC's revenue increased by 222 percent between 2008-09 and 2014-15 when factoring inflation.

There's no way we are walking away from that kind of money. You feel that LSU isn't getting the respect it deserves? It's not about what any other school, AD, or conference says or does.

It's about LSU and Louisiana.

Respect comes with winning, and we have a lot of wood to chop.
In the meantime, hell no, the SEC is the best game in town.
