Aranda made some comments after leaving most likely won’t be an issue but could.

Could have been trying to make people feel like he was home.
It was about his Mexican ethnicity. How he couldn’t be himself at LSU.
People who are closer to the situation may understand what he was meaning.
He may have just been trying to jump in at Baylor.

Fans aren’t as important as some think

NFL is

Why I would remove Cal?

Not just fluke players. Since 2011 almost 30 NFL draft picks including a lot of first rounders.
There are some issues there but not enough to where you can’t win consistently. Even cut some corners for Jeff Tedford. Not like they are totally foreign.

Not going through all of this but didn’t see anything about this in about 80% of this topic

Gary Patterson at one time was someone the NFL coaches would pick his ear over. Defenses in the NFL rapidly change and it is always hard to get things perfectly right but that 4-2-5 pretty much became the Seattle Seahawks. Pete Carroll is not a dummy. Well known after the Rose Bowl against Wisconsin people really started to believe

Watch the game. Very important game in the history of CFB and football in general
TCU at times had issues like any team would but for the most part TCU with a defense giving up a lot of size did pretty well against that football team

Problem always with college football is the talent pool. Don’t have it like NFL teams. Especially on defense.
The one position coaches started to substitute and that is LB.

Always liked Dave Aranda because he knew the LB position. Gary Patterson isn’t far off

Taking this back to LSU.
Aranda pretty much is one of the reasons you see Patterson out
Aranda is a better version of what GP made his money on. Evaluating.
Unlike Patterson Aranda doesn’t have a concern with offenses who sometimes hurt the defense

When there isn’t a defined center it happens all the time
This was already being predicted this afternoon though. Like I said it was the reason why the NHC issued the hurricane watch.

But this still isn’t much of a defined center. Just one area with stronger winds and lower barometric pressure. Still isn’t defined as a center of a cyclone.

This could happen sometime tomorrow. At least it could be close enough to the coast so even with rapid intensification it won’t intensify too much.

The authorities here in Matagorda County were informed earlier this could happen by the NHC and NWS Houston.
They were thinking a Lower Texas Coast landfall was very unlikely

I’m in Alvin, TX and flooded during Harvey……I’m sweating bullets with this one.

Don’t blame you. Some of the models have that area targeted for heavy rainfall.

But I doubt it will be anything like Harvey. Maybe at most half the amount of rain

Arkansas was the only non Texas school in the SWC so they developed a little dick mentality when it comes to Texas.
Win or lose people from Texas still carry their head high because they are Texans. Have a lot to be proud about
Wasn’t the case with Arkansas. They developed this obsession with winning against Texas schools especially The University of Texas

SEC saw some of this when Arkansas first joined and they tried to attach themselves to LSU. Made that their replacement.

School you don’t want to win because they get loud and proud.

Morgantown is very close to Pittsburgh
A lot of the people there are similar to the people in Pittsburgh
Plus you have a lot of B1G fans in the state because of Ohio State and Penn State

They are a Rust Belt school
If they brought something to the table I would see why some support them but because they don’t I really don’t see why they are ever brought up

VA Tech is probably a better choice.

About $$$$

Reason they left in the beginning. Didn’t have a thing to do with Texas

This is why message boards narratives get out of wack.
People start believing things that aren’t based on reality

Texas is the largest market for CFB
SEC didn’t want the state to be up for grabs.
They have full control of the state now.
You can do the research if you want. With the addition of Texas and Oklahoma
Texas is by far the largest state for SEC alumni.

Texas and OU not in the SEC allowed whatever conference they were in to establish a footprint.
Oklahoma just like LSU and Arkansas have a large presence in the state.

Goes back to Roy Kramer’s original plan in 1990.
Get Texas.
At that time the SEC only had a small presence through LSU and the Mississippi schools
Things have quickly changed.

Pretty clear we have some people still ignorant about this decision.

Texas in the ACC would have given that conference the ability to stick around. Meaning that it is a threat in 4 different SEC states

Texas in the B1G would have given that conference an anchor in a talent rich state

This was pretty much having them in the SEC tent pissing out of it
Instead of them on the outside pissing in

Not much these other conferences can do. I guess the B1G can wait until the ACC GOR ends.
But UNC, UVA and GA Tech won’t change much.


This decision just goes to show how selfish the A&M fanbase really is
They would screw this entire conference for their own benefit
We know Texas in the SEC hurts A&M but them outside of it hurts the other 13 schools and could eventually hurt A&M as well

I was incorrect
She isn’t a college professor but works for the local schools there in Birmingham
Nevertheless they are very educated people and are people that Birmingham should be proud about

Article about the family

Kyle Flood and Bo Davis forgot what SEC ball was all about when they left..:

Some narratives just don’t make sense

I really don’t get Tim Brando
He is just weird
Not really good at what he does. Even though he claims to love Louisiana he does a bad job at making the state look great.
Has an obsession with Alabama and Texas.
More than that the little bitch blocked me from Twitter when I asked why he went to ULM. I guess he was turned down by LSU.
Probably was and took it personally

Talented players in the right scheme is more important

Grinch is extremely overrated as a DC
Elko is much better

But most teams don’t have the personnel to attack OU correctly and more than that OU’s defense fits their offense

You can power OU off the football but you cannot do that when OUs offense is scoring like they do

Random team I would pick Elko but overall Grinch fits OU with his speed defense because it is based on a team throwing the ball
Don’t have enough time because of how they attack the LOS

More interested in Texas/Arkansas is basketball and baseball at this point
Texas is a good team but not great and Arkansas isn’t anywhere close to being good so right now the excitement isn’t there except for the fact they haven’t played

Matters where you live in Arkansas and like you said age.
A lot of people grew up with SEC and not Texas. Heard stories about them but never really experienced it. I don’t think somehow this year will be any different.

You don’t want to lose. But you can say that about a few teams. Especially Ole Miss and LSU.


On the Texas end. The A&M game will overshadow all at first. Possibly even Red River Shootout.
Arkansas/Oklahoma every year is a game I think a lot of people could look forward to.
Arkansas pretty much has every state that surrounds them in the SEC

Like a pig in mud….
These moves perhaps helps them more than any school.
Anyone who said any different is either denying the truth or is clueless

Not a single throw to stretch the defense.
Point was about stretching the defense for Texas

Arkansas could try that but it is hard when those WRs have a limited route tree
Today DBs are taught to read the route and then jump it. Instead of playing the WR and the ball
Great QBs can adjust but those are extremely rare at the college level

They had success running the ball
Look at the RB stats.
Arkansas had success against Rice running the ball
The line is low because Vegas feels like Texas won’t do enough on offense to make Arkansas one dimensional and Arkansas will be able to move the ball at times

But if I was Arkansas I would worry about turnovers with Jefferson
