Ha, you underestimate the sick obsession some of the remaining Big 12 schools have with us. Many will be tuning in hoping we lose and a lot of football fans with no real ties to Texas or Texas A&M will be tuning in hoping we can represent the state well...which will be very tough to do especially in the first few years as we adjust.
Truth. Texas teams are vicious. People tune in just to hope their fellow Texans lose.
That's revenue, right?

They would go to the west due to travel cost as it is significantly closer to every west school. The third Saturday in October already fricked up schedules once in 92. Nobody outside UT and UA cares about it. Let it go, stop living in the past. When we go to 16 teams you will have to give it up anyway, may as well end it now.
says who?
if we go to 16 we'll prob go to 4 team pods, and play the rest on a rotating basis. Of which the SEC will let teams keep 1-2 annual games to preserve rivalries
Nobody cares about the Cocktail party besides UGA and UF, but I bet you dont want that to end either
Why dont we add some more SEC conference games, and ya'll can scrap your annual OOC matchup with FSU
Its pretty easy to tell someone else to get rid of their rivalry, but I dont see you volunteering to give up any of Floridas though

Is it true that there is sort of an unwritten agreement between the Florida, Georgia, and S. Carolina schools to veto the addition of anyone from their states? FSU or Clemson would be awesome additions, but i keep hearing that those schools would provide enough votes to block such an addition.
I've been hearing that since talk of conference expansion started. I don't know if it's true or not. Idk why they would object too it. Those three play in state teams yearly anyway.

Very true...i know that if Texas went to the SEC i would be tuning into every single game...and i hate them.

Yes. you can add UK in that as well.
this annoys me so much. Why do those teams get to have a monopoly on their states while the rest of us have to share?
Under this principle, Shouldn't Alabama be able to banish Auburn to the ACC?

I hear you. I think the theory of a lot of people is that they believe a team in the SEC currently has a recruiting edge against teams currently in the ACC.

I love how easy you make it sound... maybe we should just put aTm in the east and Mizzou in the West. How does that sound? Huh? Huh?

Teams and fans will pretty much have to fly to all of their games whether they are in the east or west. I would say the increased revenue they will make in the SEC combined with the level of stability easily offsets increased travel costs.
For the teams sure they get the extra revenue. Fans don't get shite. Most teams in the SEC do not have convenient and CHEAP airports to fly in and out of. Gainesville has 3 cheap airports but all are 1.5-2 hours away and require you to get a car to get to the game anyway thus making the trip that much more expensive. The economy has already hurt ticket sales as it is, you think increasing the distances will help with that?
Saying distance and geography doesn't matter is stupid.

Of course u don't give a shite mainly bc UF doesn't have a in conference rivalry with the history of bama/UT. The closest thing u have is probably with either us or UGA and those aren't vulnerable to going away so u don't care.
And just to be clear we wouldn't have this problem if u cowards would get over yourselfs and let FSU in.

Mizzou to SEC EAST?
I believe "if" Missouri was added to the SEC (hopefully not) then they are too far west geographically to be considered for the east division imo. I think the only way to go would be to move Auburn to the east division and have Missouri in the west division.
I honestly don't believe that Missouri will be added because I think that they would look at accepting a team from the ACC or Big East. I could definitely be wrong though.
Either way we'll see how it goes and how it ends up in the long run. I definitely think we'll see another team added because with the addition of A&M it's thrown off the even balance of teams in the west and east divisions and I don't believe that's something that will be permanent.
Posted on 9/30/11 at 1:17 pm to AesopsGators
They have to fly to just about every game in the west as well and then drive to the small college towns there from whatever major airport they fly into anyways. I just think its much ado about nothing.
Basically the only difference is that their flights will be 30 min or so longer in most cases.

they DID tune in, just like Bama fans tune in to watch and see if Auburn loses each week
but if Auburn went to the ACC, there wouldn't be much interest in tuning in each week b/c they are now in a different conference and them losing wouldn't mean nearly as much to Bama fans anymore
You always tune in to watch other teams on your schedule and see if they lose and how that might help you in conference standings... but if they are in a different conference, and they dont even play ya'll anymore, dont you think they'll be tuning in to other Big XII games that are now more important to them? Sure they'll get a good laugh when they see the A&M loss on Sportscenter, but their obsession will be severely diminished going forward. They'll replace the A&M obsession with Baylor or Tech or Houston or TCU instead (if the latter 2 get added to the Big 9). Sure they'll always hate you, but the need to see ya'll lose will be greatly diminished

Only the Alabama and Mississippi schools really share a state. Technically there are two schools in Tennessee but really its like saying La Tech competes with LSU.

Well, do we get to kick out Auburn and Mississippi State or not?

For the most part, you're right, but if we keep the Thanksgiving game with Texas, and as long as aggies stay in Texas, the rivalry sticks. I still watch TCU games because I have family from there, not because it's a rivalry.

well, you are right about that. at least as long as you keep the annual game going they'll still be obsessed, but the others, not so much
