but aiming at the "elite" has a cost that people aren't considering and they are ignorng what worked in the past.
then stand pat until teams come to the SEC and the cost is lowered

I get your point, but this may be more likely if the conference were a little more watered down. Less chance of your #1 and #2 losing.

I'd love that.

vt academics aren't uva, but they are better than a number of sec schools. I want them in the SEC though. I despise that team and their fanbase. They are basically Auburn.

Virginia Tech has the most delusional fanbase I have ever seen. You'd swear they win a national championship every year when in fact they have never won a single championship IN ANYTHING

thank you. I grew up in Virginia and a ton of my friends were either fans of that shitty program or ended up going there. Plus I was at Lane for the 26-8 loss. The 48-7 curb stomping we put on that team was one of my favorite moments ever. I stayed until the clock hit 0:00. 
It would be great to have them join the SEC. Their fans travel very well and they need a dose of humility.

slo you are really being an idiot in this thread, why are you arguing about the contract when you dont have any idea what the contract with ESPN would be? Dont you think ESPN and CBS are heavily involved in talks with Slive?
But who east of the Mississippi wouldnt be interested in a night VT vs Tenn game? VT vs UGA?
who wouldn't like to see TAMU vs LSU? or TAMU vs Arky? what waters the SEC down is Vandy and Moo State. adding two football schools with enormous alumni bases and academic prestige wouldnt water anything down
you know what is not interesting? Texas playing 3 Pac 16 road games at 9pm local time

Yall are both right on. I've had to live in Va for the past 12 years and most of my friends go to VT. Its incredible. They think they have the best football program in the country and that everyone is afraid to go into Lane Stadium because of course its the most hostile environment in the country (especially when they jingle their keys ). I got into a debate with a friend their this morning. He thinks theyre just gonna stroll into the SEC and start dominating. He thinks that VA has the best recruits in the country and pointed out cases of Percy Harvin and other players that went to the SEC. What they dont realize is that if they want to compete with other SEC schools, they need a serious upgrade in facilities. We'll see what happens but I would love to see them come into the conference and get their asses handed to them.

Did you tell him to look at VT vs LSU 2007 ?
Posted on 6/10/10 at 6:17 pm to LSU Duet
Nobody wants to play for that jail in the fall. They hype up the 757 boys but thats all they really have to draw from. VA high school ball is no where close to the deep south. DELUSIONAL Hokies.

He thinks that because they "curb stomped" a 7-5 Tennessee team and "hung with bama for most of the game" they can dominate. I dont think you get it. These people are delusional. They honestly thought that they got hosed when we went to the ncg in 07 instead of them. They had already forgotten about the 48-7 beatdown 3 months after it happenned

i could honestly give a frick about them
it's like playing Oregon State at this point
hell, OSU is a better program lately
i care about what is best for LSU, waht is best for the SEC, and how to get better games yearly
TAMU and VT? naw...just naw
Posted on 6/10/10 at 7:03 pm to SlowFlowPro
Boise to the SEC

TAMU in the SEC is GREAT for LSU, the weaker team added to the west, exposes LSU in person to the Texas recruiting hot beds and six games at VTU would make life harder for the SEC East
LSU vs TAMU in the Jerry Dome or Reliant Stadium would be huge for LSU

i think you give far too much credit to the quality of football that VT plays

i doubt they let this happen
it's a great idea for a home and home
why would TAMU or LSU lose a home game for this?
Posted on 6/10/10 at 7:16 pm to SlowFlowPro
let me also add that VT isn't in the top 20 most profitable programs and TAMU is 18

I would love for Florida/UGA/UT to have to play at VTU every other year no matter what you think of their quality

not saying that they would but if they did jerry world seats 80k for football and it would do us both good to play in Dallas
reliant stadium seats 72k for football and they can do like Tulane does and make the game a stand alone ticket and price it separate (for a lot more money) from the Ole Miss/Moo State/etc tickets
Hell for that matter they could probably negotiate with LSU and make the game an annual thing in reliant, jack up the prices and create the sabine river shootout or some shite
