re: LSU vs Ole Miss at 8pm CT on ESPN
Posted by emikew on 10/10/16 at 1:47 pm to BigTiger80
The other good news (potentially) when reading that schedule is seeing Bama & A&M already scheduled in the traditional afternoon CBS time slot. If that's true (and can't be moved by CBS) then that leaves the the LSU & Bama as a real option for their annual prime-time game in Death Valley! Am i missing any other game that might be more attractive to CBS for the prime time slot (on that date or otherwise)?

Out Kick the Coverage articles are much better than many of the other sources of information (ESPN, Fox, etc.) These people actually think about what they write. While from a football perspective and national interest perspective (and my own perspective) it seems to make sense to push hard for a national player like FSU, they do a very good job of explaining why it about additional market viewers (i.e. Texas & KC/St. Louis) that will likely drive expansion.

re: West Virginia: Rumors that SEC said no
Posted by emikew on 9/19/11 at 7:34 pm to tiger perry
i am still hoping the SEC makes a power play and goes after FSU, Clemson, Va Tech or NC State....we are the best conference in the nation and should be very, very selective in who we admit as members. I have found outkickthecoverage has some great articles about who/how/why the SEC expands.
sorry, one other post on Texags site quoted a "source" from the Cinn Bearcats website that also is putting the rumor that the SEC said no

fyi - i know all of this is rumor based, so take this for what it is worth:

Per Mike Casazza...SEC says no to WVU... Reply
Take it for what its worth...I have a friend in Morgantown who is good friends with Casazza...says no deal with SEC...
He confirms the reports earlier today.
"Wake Forest just refused to lose...but WVU didn't care and decided to win anyway..." Remark made following WVU's win over Wake in the NCAA Tournament

OSU and Mizzou are good second tier programs....Alabama draws plenty of viewers because of their history, even if they are down...so UT is still very attrative TV wise, even though they had a bad year. And in a watered down league with no championship game, odds are they won't have too many of those type of years.
re: Texas/OU
Posted by emikew on 9/7/11 at 4:00 pm to rollthatback
my point exactly...if i were UT/OU, that would be my move.
I don't know why (and probably no one other than the presidents of the two schools knows), but doesn't it make sense for Texas/OU to work out something (read: split most all of the Big 12/LHN money themselves) to keep the Big 12 together? No other school has any of the same type of leverage that they do to prevent this sort of arrangement. It keeps everything in tact across college football and they don't have to worry about difficult conference matchups and/or a conference championship game. it's an easy path to a BCS bowl - the winner of the RRR gets the berth...the other probably likely an at large. is this too easy a solution...haha
BayTiger -
have you assigned the current SEC schools, along with A&M, and either Missouri or WVA into that format to map out your proposal? if so, can you post it?

Yeah, i see your points. bottom line is that there are many complex logistical issues to expansion and i hope the powers that be at the SEC office and at the member schools have thought through all of these types of issues. However, like most other business decisions money will trump most, if not all, of these other issues.
i agree...Plus on another note, from an LSU perspective, i want to feel like other teams joined the SEC, NOT LSU joined another conference. with some of the talk around inviting OU/OSU/A&M/Missouri to get to 16 teams(West type teams), to me, that is more likely to feel like LSU joined the Big 12 which i personally don't like (again, that is depending upon how the set up the divisions and scheduling)
re: What happens to LSU schedule next year
Posted by emikew on 9/7/11 at 11:58 am to bigpapamac
I'm an LSU fan and have no problem with Florida as our perm opponent. All of the football powerhouses in the SEC have their own cycles when they are dominant and when they are weak. Yes, between select periods of time, LSU had a "harder" perm opponent with Florida, but Tenn has been great at times (for Bama), Georgia has been great at time (for Auburn). I think it balances out over long periods of time.

I recall the most important series to protect on an annual basis being that of Tenn/Bama and UGA/Auburn.

I remember that too. And, the LSU/Florida series has become bigger than both of those.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not necessarily to the old suits in the SEC and the powers who hold the cards
I believe that it would be the "old guard" that values those games and be unlikely to change them...Isn't UGA/Auburn billed as the "oldest rilvary in the South"? The Tenn/Bama hate is second only to Bama/Auburn (in my opinion) i can't imagine the SEC gives that up.

who knows what happens. i am sure the conference office has people mapping out several different scheduling scenarios based upon the number of teams we invite and making sure not to jack up the current scheduling system as much as possible. i like the current schedule and hope for only 14 teams in total(A&M + one team put in the East) i don't really like West Virginia, but it appears we (i.e. the SEC) are limited in our options for a team that naturally would fit in the East.
i can't imagine the league dropping the perm opponent concept. wasn't that a major point in the original split into East/West divisions? I recall the most important series to protect on an annual basis being that of Tenn/Bama and UGA/Auburn.
anyone know how to reference or link to a photo posted in this thread? thinking of using one of these as a logo for my fantasy football team...haha
thanks!
thanks!
ok - will do. thanks.
Seats in Upper East & West
Posted by emikew on 8/8/11 at 3:57 pm
I only come back to BR for one game a year (unfortunately). This year, it will be for the Arkansas game. Does anyone know or can someone point me to a site that will tell me which rows of seats on the upper east and west decks have the built in seat backs? i am brining my two small boys, so that is really most convenient for them. If anyone has tickets to this game they are interested in selling (6 in total), please let me know. thanks for the help!
