I'm glad that Pearl is back in the SEC. He will be fun to follow and his Auburn teams will be very competitive in the SEC. Like Ray Mears and Dale Brown before him, colorful, competent coaches are good for the SEC. Welcome Back, Coach...

Missouri is a lot more experienced so I can see why they might be the pick. Given UK's youth, I'm not sure I would even rank them 2. The best part though...is that it doesn't really matter what preseason polls 4 months before the season say. If Missouri is the best team they will need to Sho...

re: Is A&M the only SEC school whose in state, non-SEC rival refuses to play them?

Posted by Opti on 10/15/11 at 12:29 pm

I don't think it will be 2018 before the schools play again. It may take a year or two but eventually the legislature will start asking questions and tu will be encouraged to schedule aTm. Some of the other states required at least the threat of legislative action before agreeing to play on a ...

The best part is that after all the hysteria of the last four weeks...everyone will be relieved when aTm officially gets their keys to the SEC club. Even those that opposed the move will applaud it as the last piece to restore sanity. Pretty cool if you think about it. Tip of the hat to Slive...
