If OU and TAMU join SEC can we drop the permanent Florida game?

That would be great, sucks that we have to play Florida every year.

Florida is a great game every year.

OU rumor is apparently picking up some steam fairly quickly.

If AU and Bama go to the east, then probably.

If this happens I'll bet they'll replace the Florida game with BAMA, cause they'll probably move us and AU to the east.

it hasn't been - and to succeed at the level his contract demands LSU has to beat teams like Florida, Alabama, and Texas - not try and avoid them

And I'd rather keep playing them - if anything I think it's good for LSU (playing a major TV game and in the state of Florida every other year)

But seriously. I see it going to a 9-game conference schedule. 6 against your division and 3 against the other. 1 permanent opponent, the other 6 rotate through, 2 at a time for 6 years. Bama and auburn would move to the east, and Vandy would move west.

LSU would play Bama every year.
Vandy would get Tennessee.
Ole Miss and Georgia
Arkansas and South carolina
miss st and Kentucky
Oklahoma Florida
Texas A&M Tennessee.

I'd rather play Florida - I like their stadium more and there's more recruits in Florida

LSU might end up the only team in teh SEC with a guaranteed game in both Florida and Texas every year - I like that

this makes sense, but apparently OU is not coming without OkState.

To which I say, OFFER OkState, too!

ooooh, how juicy that would be if OU/OSU/A&M all left Texas hangin'. Wouldn't it?

I'd rather play auburn than Bama. But whatever. Probably because of the games of the early 00s

why 9 games?

so everyone can make less money and lose more games?

I think we want Oklahoma only.

I don't know that we can expand to 16 and increase our revenue by 33%.

Alabama would play Mississippi State every year in all likelihood.

hey I didn't say it would make financial sense. It would just give me pleasure.

surely it holds some non-monetary value. mark it in the books as Leave Texas Hangin' Goodwill.

And after all, isn't this whole expansion all about what gives clamdip the most pleasure?

I mean, honestly.
