Looking ahead to the new year
Interesting story on the Pac-12/Big Ten pseudomerger. It certainly puts things in perspective regarding Jim Delany’s views on realignment. Is an SEC-ACC deal in the future? Expansion of the brand into Latin America? And what does it mean for the Big XII if they’re left out of relationships with the power conferences? Are we looking at a Big Mount East USA pseudomerger?

Thanks Gaknar.
This deal with all the possibilities and potential ramifications does extremely intrigue me.

SEC sets up a deal with Big XII and forces Kansas to be our permanent rival.
We are DAVIDSON City!
You know
I had a dream last night that the B12 imploded and the SEC invted Kansas to join
I had a dream.. a dream that i was MLK..
I left the tv on last night and the history channel was on. The only thing i can think of why i dreamed that.

SEC-ACC certainly makes a lot of sense. It also puts the Big 12 in a really bad position.
by Truson on Jan 2, 2012 12:44 PM CST up reply actions 1 recs
That would make sense to me
With both at 14. It would mesh the ACC’s basketball strength with the SEC’s football strength. Of course, Mike Slive could think up something completely new.
We are DAVIDSON City!
I also like an idea that tries to match teams of similar potential for the upcoming season.
I don’t know how easy something like that would be able to do, but as long as all 28 teams keep one open date on their schedule, the conferences could make the call around late January or so.
I’m known as a bit of a dreamer!
eh... I don't really see it
basketball would be competitive, football would likely be embarrassingly lopsided. Why would the ACC want to add an annual loss to all of their football teams? More to the point, why would the SEC want to add the potential of an embarrassing and title-chance-destroying upset without much to gain by beating an ACC football team?
I believe in the The Black & Gold Standard
The ACC already schedules annual losses. They're called bowl games.

You can always count on me to be this guy, but ...
If we would adopt a playoff, a single OOC loss to a good BCS team wouldn’t derail your title chances.
I’m known as a bit of a dreamer!
and how many "good BCS teams" are there currently in the ACC?
I believe in the The Black & Gold Standard
A couple ... not many.
We could be looking at this in 10 years and wondering why the ACC would risk an embarrassing loss to an SEC team. I don’t know that it’s a smart move for the two conferences. I just think it would be hella fun to watch as a fan.
I’m known as a bit of a dreamer!
I think it'd be fun also, if the teams were semi-evenly matched
I’d rather see an SEC vs Big 12, I think the matchups would be much better
I believe in the The Black & Gold Standard
And also, if you could set it up in such a way to match up to SEC vs. top ACC and so on ...
You could almost guarantee that you would have LSU vs. Virginia Tech type of matchups … and Vandy or somebody would get the Duke’s of the ACC. I know it may not be possible to guarantee something like that, but I think that would be a fun challenge.
I’m known as a bit of a dreamer!
And since we already have Clemson-SC and Georgia-Georgia Tech and Florida-Florida State
Why not just go all the way and give every member a permanent cross-conference rival? We could play North Carolina every year :)
We are DAVIDSON City!
that's the only reason I see this is as a possibility
the current OOC rivalries make it fairly simple
I believe in the The Black & Gold Standard
Right
If they cut a deal with the Big XII, than those three schools will say “Wait a minute, we have to play two Big Six schools and the rest of you don’t.” Formalizing an ACC-SEC agreement would be equitable for everyone.
We are DAVIDSON City!
For some reason
I love the idea of Alabama going to Boston.
but I do get your point
but we don’t currently have a playoff, so that’s the system under which I’m making my assumptions
I believe in the The Black & Gold Standard
Well, if you buy that the SEC champ will always have a shot at the NC
especially if we go to a plus one, then it may make more sense to add a non-conference game that will not affect your conference title chances than a ninth conference game.
in lieu of a ninth conference game, I could sign onto this
but in lieu of a current OOC game, I think its dumb
I believe in the The Black & Gold Standard
But seriously
From the ACC’s perspective, it would offer a level of stability. The only reason they expanded to 14 was because they thought they would be raided by the SEC. With a pseudomerger, that’s no longer an issue.
We are DAVIDSON City!
.
1) It adds quality content. That seems to be a driving force to the Big Ten-Pac 12 deal. If the SEC sets up its own network, content is going to be critical.
2) Quality games. How would a matchup with Virginia Tech be any worse for LSU than playing West Virginia and Oregon? Top games get top billing. If you win, it gives you ammo in the rankings. If you lose, it doesn’t actually hurt you much because of the SEC bump.
3) Basketball. The SEC has upped its reputation by adding Mizzou and A&M. Annual matchups with the ACC would add more content and provide legitimacy to SEC basketball.
We are DAVIDSON City!
It just seems like the conversations of the "Super Conferences" was yesterday.
The pro’s and con’s for all of college football. From the mid majors getting hosed to the cash flow manipulation. This is essentially the same but weird to see it start to happen already.

I probably won't watch the Urban Meyer Bowl
if someone does, give us an approximate count of the number of Meyer references. And what stage of the game someone would die of alcohol poisoning if they took a drink for every reference.

Well...it's on the ESPN family of networks...

shame for Raheem Morris
he’s certainly got potential, wouldn’t mind seeing him in KC under the tutelage of Coach Romeo

Im also disappointed in seeing Coach Spag fired.
He had to deal with A LOT of injuries and adversity coming in with a 2nd year qb with no real camp. I do think he had that team on the right track and would have liked to see what he did with one more year.

BTW
The Capital One Bowl looks like it would be a LOT of fun. I wonder how bad the hotel fees are, as I assume this is a big Disney Vacation time of year.
I was in Orlando this summer.
Stayed at the Ritz/J.W. Marriott — which is an awesome option off-Disney. Golf on site, great pool for kids or adults, etc.
The wife and I did Disney a couple of June's ago for our honeymoon.
We stayed on Disney though. I’ve already told the wife that this would be a fun “Destination” bowl game.

I've read that the time to go is Super Bowl Sunday.

My wife and I went to Universal on Christmas day a couple years ago.
We had celebrated with both sides of the family on other days for some reason. The park was pretty much empty and the lines were short.
Disney has a HUGE Christmas celebration.
Both parks have been hurting the past few years (economy), but I’d imagine that around Christmas Disney is probably the bigger draw.
We didn’t get to get over to Universal so I want to plan another trip to take it in. If we could wrap that around a Mizzou bowl game … it would work out fairly nicely. :-)
I’m known as a bit of a dreamer!
We only live an hour or so from the parks, but rarely go.
In fact, that’s the last time I went to Universal. Not sure when I last went to Disney.
Just left Disney yesterday
Apparently week between Christmas and New Years is the busiest week of year there. They closed a couple of the parks down from admitting new people for 90 minutes this past Wednesday and Thursday because of the crowds. That said, was still extremely enjoyable, even with the lines. We stayed in Downtown Disney area, free shuttles to the parks, and good restaurants/shopping at Downtown Disney. Yes, T&C Fan, I have heard the same thing about the Super Bowl being a great time to be there, but haven’t ever been that weekend. December specials in the hotels are great – our room at the Hilton was large, quiet, and 50% off. A great combination. Also had a free round of golf which was very nice.
OT
If you are the Colts, what do you do in the draft?
Luck? Trade? Someone else?
I have a real hard time seeing them draft Luck and have him get no practise snaps for 4 years while Petyton does his thing for a lot of $$$.
Then again, I am horrendous at armchair fottball GM’ing.
I think that's the smart move
however, I heard rumblings from Manning re: Luck along the lines of “this town ain’t big enough for the both of us”
I believe in the The Black & Gold Standard
Luck
I don’t think Manning is quite the jerk Favre was. Having Luck mentored for a few years would be good for him.
We are DAVIDSON City!
I don't think he'd go for it
That is a terrible team that needs to get help at virtually every position. From Manning’s perspective, using that #1 pick not to improve the team on the field for the next ~2-3 years would be wasting his time.

I will go out on a limb
My bold prediction for next year is that MIZZOU wrestling will go undefeated in the SEC next year.
Success Excellence Championships > Bad Idiocy Greed 12-4+.5+.5

watching the rose bowl,
i’m thinking james franklin looks like a less seasoned russell wilson. how happy would we be if franklin turned out to be as good as wilson? they really look similar to me.
What do you have against the ring-tailed lemur?
I agree however Wilson is more polished overall.
The good news is that Wilson should be he is a senior Tanklin is still getting better.
That's right Ice Man. I am dangerous
Pie Forever!
maybe.
but wilson is the far superior passer, in my opinion.
What do you have against the ring-tailed lemur?
No comparison
Wilson is a ball that men can play with
Franklin is a tank that crushes these mere mortals

Baylor taking it to ATM on the hardwood. Aggies only manage 17 points at the half.
That's right Ice Man. I am dangerous

yeah, the ags are pretty bad right now.
when you lose to rice at home, things are rough. i guess it’s because being the 12th man in basketball isn’t what it is in football. too bad the football team hogs all the hall of fame talent, too.
What do you have against the ring-tailed lemur?
It must be a theme with their sports.
High expectations and they end up mediocre.

Baylor absolutely dominating the boards

new scoring record in the granddaddy tonight.
breaks a 20 year old record. this game’s been all it was cracked up to be.
What do you have against the ring-tailed lemur?
Great, just great
now we’re going to hear all about that, even though the ref made the right call.
Should have had a play ready to go, or run the same one.
No kidding
Shouldn’t every team have a desperation hail mary play they can whip out in these situations?
We are DAVIDSON City!
at the least they could have just run the same play again. It would have been something.

shouldn't coaches know how much time a spike takes, like in bball, you know a pass and shoot only take a certain amount of time and anything less doesn't allow for it?

what does that have to do with jim irsay making a big mistake?
What do you have against the ring-tailed lemur?
It could be worse.
Like spending a 12th overall pick on a weak armed, oft-injured QB who is worse than both the veteran QB you cut midseason and the 3rd QB who spends his free time shagging passes.
Like drafting a WR that can’t see.
Like missing your draft pick and being skipped over.

agreed,
but that doesn’t make what the colts did any less puzzling. i realize bill polian doesn’t have all that many working years left, but my goodness, he oversaw some of the best years in franchise history. and had a proven track record of successful drafts. they’re going to desperately need a good draft this upcoming season to improve, and it seems to me this was a vikings/chiefs/lions/bucs type move.

It might be an attempt to push Manning out
Bill Polian drafted Manning and their fortunes have been tied together for Manning’s entire career. If Manning is making noise about Luck coming in, this might be an attempt to push him out and start fresh.
Or Irsay could just be a douche.

I'm a web developer for an insurance company.
I was thinking about doing a little freelance on the side but I have never developed anything outside a corporate environment so that side of it is really new to me. Not to mention the fact that my graphic design skill suck. I do code behind for SQL based web apps and such.

i mainly do smaller sites 1-20 actual pages. anything bigger than that just takes too much actual design.

HA! OK this is a true story
My brother in law’s boss is an MU guy. He buys this plane and they are flying back from somewhere out west. The plane didn’t have the bathroom hooked up it was just routed outside the plane so they couldn’t use it. As the fly over the Lawrence the pilot tells him “hey we just flew over Lawrence.” The boss says turn this thing around right now. I"m taking a dump as soon as we get back over it. "
This guy also has it written in his will that any of his relatives that attend ku will not get anything.

Not going for the TD here?
I hope it gets blocked. I no longer want OSU to win this game.
