Taken from the song Rambling Wreck from Georgia Tech - same tune
Someone started this song the week before the LSU - Ole Miss game in 1958. If I remember right - it was about the seventh game of the season - both teams undefeated and ranked #2 and #3.
I go to school
To funk the damn exams
The hell with Mississippi
The hell with Tulane too
And if you are not a Tiger
The hell to hell with you
At that time Ole Miss had some very good football teams. And LSU and Ole Miss were bitter rivals. Tulane was the Tiger's final game each year at that time in history.
LSU won the game 14 to 0 on the way to a national championship and finished the season undefeated 11-0. And it took the Tigers another 61 years to get another undefeated season.

Because the obvious…. The loss of TAMU did nothing to the Big12. The conference picked up some teams and the $$$ GREW. Now, you have the very real outlook for 8 schools of being fucked out of billions and loss of P5 privileges. This is not 2009. Former OU President drew a hardline with the last go around stating OU would never leave OkSt…. Now things have changed. This is actually Not over as people think it is. There is a very real chance OU and Texas will be forced to forfeit all state school funds if they leave and will end up staying. When that happens, the big12 will compensate by adding 2-4 teams and create its own stronger conference. Including possibly robbing from the Pac12. Laugh all you want. There is some really serious things going on in Austin and not on campus Neither the Texas nor Oklahoma legislatures are going to defund the flagship universities of their respective states. Stop, just stop grasping at that straw. It has infinitely more holes than the ones on the ends. That is exactly what the 2009 threat was about. And it was serious enough to keep things together. |

Do people not understand the concept that “where there is a top, there is a bottom”?
All these discussions about “super leagues” and kicking out teams.....
If you took the 40 top teams.... 10 of those teams would have their brand destroyed.
They would be 2-10, 1-11 every year, and it could be any of the big boys over time.
It also kills the season.
You will see a playoff full of 8-4 teams.... looking like the NFL LITE
The idea of team is dead. With NIL, the Portal, now the lack of care for conference, state, citizens.... CFB is dead.

Obviously the Gators were in the know, and didn’t want mess up the impending plan. They shouldn’t have made it look so obvious in what they were doing by at least making it look like a close game. You’re welcome! :-) |

For about a month, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey has listened to the wide range of reactions to his conference’s impending expansion, the most pointed being Washington State president Kirk Schulz’s referring to the SEC as “predatory.”
Now Sankey has a response.
“I certainly like the president at Washington State,” Sankey told The Athletic. “I think he’s forgotten that in 2010 the conference in which he currently resides recruited half of the Big 12 members to join its league.”
Sankey went on to point out that the Big 12 contemplated expanding in 2016, the Big Ten added Nebraska in 2011 and Maryland and Rutgers in 2014, and the ACC raided the Big East in the mid-2000s by adding Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College.
“In this circumstance, the SEC didn’t initiate this contact,” Sankey said, doubling down on those reports. “The two universities reached out to us. We’ve not been active in seeking members. I think President Schulz’s description is inaccurate, imprecise and is not representative of the history of conference membership expansion.”
So, how did the most seismic conference additions in … well, perhaps ever, go down? Quickly and quietly.
Texas president Jay Hartzell testified in the Texas Senate on Aug. 2 that he reached out to Sankey in the spring to first broach the subject of the Longhorns and Sooners joining the SEC. Sankey declined to discuss his reaction when he received that call or the details of the initial discussions.

Sankey must love the fact he doesn’t have to get his hands dirty to get anything done. It all comes to him.
