re: What % of your school’s enrollment comes from inside the SEC footprint?

When I was at Ole Miss, I was surprised at how many students were from Illinois.
We know DFW is big on Ole Miss... and people are saying Atlanta as well...
But even before the Georgia and Texas schools got so competitive (because of the growth of the states) and started sending their students to Ole MIss. I always heard that suburban Chicago and Saint Louis sent a lot of kids down there.

% of Students from the SEC footprint:
88.70%- Mississippi
87.90%- Arkansas
86.64%- Oklahoma*
It is interesting that OU is this high...
But out of 30ish K students on the Norman Campus... About 15 K are from Oklahoma and another 7K are from Texas.
Texas sends ten times more students than the next state... which is California. Next is Colorado. Then Kansas.
In the SEC... Missouri is fifth. Florida is sixth. Arkansas is surprisingly only ninth, and Georgia is eleventh. The rest of the SEC states are mixed in with the rest of the country supplying less than 100 students to OU.
It is interesting that Arkansas sends so few... but the University of Arkansas sits almost on the Oklahoma state line. OU would probably get a lot more students from Arkansas if the UA were in another part of Arkansas.
Contrast that to places in Texas or a place like Wichita... where OU really isn't that much further away than the home state schools.

Counselor here. This clearly seems to be a case where he is trying to use mental health issues as an excuse and its bullshite. You don't have an ongoing affair with someone due to a mental health crisis. Now the part where he went off the deep end the other day and got arrested could be due to mental illness but he still was in sound mind when he started fricking his subordinate.
Not a counselor....
But he could have been feeling the pressure of knowing he was caught be and he started acting a wacky due to the stress, guilt, and that feeling of impending doom...
Then after they popped him he had the meltdown.

I think, and it could just be my take but ... the tweet I included in my OP seemed, to me at least, to be more about holding black head coaches to a higher standard given they do not often get cracks at HC gigs from a proportionate perspective.
Certainly this is true. The guy in the tweet is just aware of the stereotype and realizes that this type of behavior does nothing but reinforce that.
But seriously.... if you feel like you as a white man hold white men to this higher standard. Do you hold Donald Trump to this same higher standard?

Dude pulled a major Applewhite.
I literally ran into that girl at a basketball game in Laredo when she was coming out of the Texas International training room in their gym into the hallway a couple of years after that happened. it was a dead giveaway because she had her TA&MI trainers shirt on.
I'm like looking at her going "Holy crap, I know exactly who this is!!!"....
Perplexed....She looked at my stunned face and asked me if she could "help me"...
I was kind of embarrassed.

Bitching and moaning about missing the playoff or expanding the playoff is one thing.
But skipping a bowl game when you are one of the few non playoff teams that people actually want to see is another.

Same goes for the last two. Rehabilitation sciences are what PT's and OT's often have for a degree. Communication sciences and disorders are speech therapists or audiologists. I can see cutting those programs if they're overlapping with other degrees available, but if not it is a bit of a hole in what the college is offering.
Physical Therapy is now a Doctoral level degree nation wide... and Occupational Therapy is now making that move.
You are eligible to apply to these Doctoral programs after getting a bachelor's degree.
There is really no market for a Masters in Rehabilitation. No reason to offer this anymore.
I'm not up on SLP stuff. But I bet it is the same deal.

Archie is Ole Miss Royalty. It was bad enough when Peyton went to Tennessee. They'd hang him in the Grove if a Manning played at LSU.
I get that my fellow OU fan was trying to take a shot at LSU...
But that is sort of like asking say... Steve Owens (if he were living in Dallas or Houston)..."why none of his sons considered going to Texas".

Rural indiana and most of their t-shirt fans are just as redneck as SEC fans
The issue here is not whether rural Indiana t-shirt fans are rednecks... It is how many rural Indiana redneck t-shirt fans are ND fans.
And the answer is not very many. They are mostly Indiana and Purdue fans.
In state... the ND fans are mostly the working class industrial Catholics who live in northern Indiana and Indianapolis.
While there are some ND "football only" fans in Indiana... probably more than any other place... there is a " completely hate ND" faction in the state... mostly made up of Purdue fans.

David stone and Gracen Halton are the best DL in the country. Absolutely bullshite they aren’t first team sec.
Jayden Jackson and Damonic Williams were probably why they didn't make first team. Nobody played enough snaps to completely show out.
But it is unbelievable that none of those four guys weren't on the first three teams.

The OU/Texas love for each other is super weird.
It is actually pretty simple. Two kids who fought each other all the time in their old neighborhood just moved to a new neighborhood at the same time.
Once the two have established themselves against the kids in the new neighborhood... they can get back to fighting each other again.

The only comp I can think of is Snyder at kansas State, but he took much longer and didn’t have as much success.
This for sure is the comp....
But I think Kansas State was even in worse shape than Indiana was when Snyder got there.
They had been the worst team in college football for fifty years with only a handful of winning seasons. Their last one came in 1981 and they got in NCAA trouble right after that.
In the four years before Snyder got there (1989) Kansas State was 3-40-1.

My dad (NO LIE) wrote his thesis on the bias of the polls toward ND.
I don't know how old your dad is...
But we used to get Notre Dame crammed down our throats.
Back during limited TV appearances... Notre Dame was the only team that had their own nationally televised playback show on Sunday mornings (with Lindsey Nelson).
I'd bet way more people across the country of that age bracket associate Lindsey Nelson with Notre Dame more than they do Tennessee.
Notre Dame had a nationwide radio broadcast network. Their games were broadcast in every market across the country.
The Notre Dame coaches radio show was broadcast in a lot of markets as well.
And of course... Notre Dame was televised live in the maximum amount of appearances that the NCAA allowed. Keep in mind that some teams NEVER got on TV... Some teams maybe once. But Notre Dame was on two or three times per year, depending on how many times they could be...
Then of course in 1990 they got their exclusive contract with NBC... which was during one of their peak periods...

Prob..they are the most popular team of the most popular religion in the USA.
It would be interesting to see in SEC states what the breakdown is for Catholics and who they root for... the home state school or Notre Dame.
Here in Oklahoma I'd say OU (or O-State) have a solid edge.. but I'd say about 25% of Catholics I've run into are Irish fans. The more hard core Catholic... the more likely to be a ND fan.

That is not at all what happened in 1966. Notre Dame went into the Michigan State game #1 and stayed there.
Try 1977.

Its not that we’re playing Bama again its that the committee robbed us of playing either Catholics or Convicts in Norman. Always like to see rare game matchups.
It is ridiculous that they decided to match up OU and Bama again when they just played each other.... when they could have had OU-Miami or OU-Notre Dame available plus an A&M vs. Bama match up. An in conference match up that didn't get played this year.
