Texas, the Eyes of the SEC Are Upon You

 The folks at SEC Shorts couldn't resist taking a poke at Texas.  Who can blame them?


 

Yeah, sometimes dollars really do blind.  Why does the SEC want to see its best teams beat each other up during the regular season? The current structure is fine although the permanent opponent crap needs to be abolished.  Allowing Oklahoma and Texas to join the SEC means Alabama, Georgia, Florida, LSU, Auburn, Texas A&M, and yes, eventually Tennessee are going to knock each other off during the regular season.   

 Bad idea.

With playoff expansion this might ultimately make sense. Dollars and cents.

With realignment: Texas and Oklahoma to the West and either Ole Miss and MSU
OR Alabama and Auburn to the East. Tough choice.

With the NIL, college football will decline in the coming years. College baseball may be the only sport left to enjoy. I hope that I'm wrong.

I don't disagree with you on realignment. First of all, Missouri needs to be moved to the West. They are way out of place and more natural rivalries with WEst teams. Move Vandy East. Hate to lose Bama and Auburn, but probably have to.

West:
LSU
A&M
Ole Miss
State
Missouri
Arkansas
Texas
OU

East:
Bama
Auburn
Vandy
GA
SC
FL
TN
KY

The Longhorns have destroyed two conferences by insisting that they be paid more then other members. I will be shocked if the SEC doesn't insist on a clear understanding that we don't operate that way and never will.

I have seen multiple reports saying it's more likely they will have four divisions of four teams each. That seems a better deal. You would play three teams in your division every year and would be able to play every team within a four year period.

Realigned, 8-school SEC divisions will never happen. Divisions are history. The conference will move to four 4-school pods instead. This will make scheduling rotation much easier. The most common pod lineup I’ve seen discussed is: 1. A&M, Texas, OU, and Arkansas; 2. LSU, Ole Miss, State, Mizzou; 3. Bama, Auburn, Vandy, Tennessee; 4. Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, South Carolina. The championship game will be reconfigured, or ended altogether. All of this is fluid speculation.

If Texas is admitted into the SEC, they will have to acknowledge (by contract) that every school has an equal vote and voice, and every school gets the same split of conference revenue. There will be no throwing of weight around because all of the “big boys” (Bama, UGa, Florida, LSU, OU, A&M, Texas, etc.) collectively cannot be intimidated or run over, unlike in the Big 12, where there were only two “big boys.”

5:51 - While you giving your opinion of Missouri being 'out of place', how do you justify Oklahoma or Texas for that matter, being anywhere geographically near the southeast?

Let's go ahead and root for JSU to join the conference for no other reason than to let Ole Myth enjoy not being on the bottom so often.

Ageed. Unless one is talking about the Confederate States of America,
Texas, Texas A&M, Missouri & Oklahoma have no business being in the SEC.

" Let's go ahead and root for JSU to join the conference".

I kind of agree with that. JSU would provide more entertainment than a Southern Miss. ( They would probably sell more tickets as well).

Ah, Dumbo, the Confederate States of America has nothing to do with this subject. Geography existed before the CSA and exists after the CSA. Neither Texas nor Oklahoma, nor Missou for that matter, are geographically in the Southeast. If you want the CSA to overlap with the SEC, why not add Virginia Tech?

But, yes...if you wanta see highway 25 and all of Oktibbeha and half of Lowndes turn into Jackson several days a year, go ahead and add JSU. JSU has never beaten OM or MSU...Southern Miss has beaten them both as well as Alabama. MSU already has black alumni weekend for three or four days. This would put it on steroids. Sorry Charlie...

What we know right now, is we don't know. Nuff said.

Danny Hugh Freeze would give his left nutt (pun intended) to get back in the SEC. Why not add Liberty U? That would satisfy his goal and please a lot of TSUN folk who still worship at his altar.

I still can’t see anyone beating Alabama. Oklahoma can never win the Big Game. Texas hires a new coach every three seasons, it seems. Not sure if joining the SEC is a good idea, though, considering the amount of competition already in the conference, minus Arkansas of course.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
