Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
Is it just me, or is it strange to have “Home of the 12th Man” at their practice field. I get that fans might like that but subconsciously, I’d be concerned that it would instill and sense of inadequacy in their players where they are being consistently reminded that the football team long ago wasn’t good enough and had to be saved by a guy in the stands.

New SEC divisions and pods thread (Page 38 starts recent discussion)
I don’t see a world where Auburn’s permanent rivals can be Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. Playing Florida every other year (and Tennessee on the off years) is getting it back somewhat and is far better than it was with the divisional setup where they only play one team in the East other than Georgia each year.

New SEC divisions and pods thread (Page 38 starts recent discussion)
Reposting this since the SEC already floated the setup with Ross Dellenger back in 2023. They took the conference winning % over the last 10 years. The top 8 played 2 of the other top 8 and 1 from the bottom 8, the bottom 8 play did the reverse. The only notable oddity was that Tennessee (after having an atrocious decade+) was in the bottom 8 (and at number 13 I might add) so Alabama/Saban is yelling about having to play the hardest schedule known to man. A few games might move around but I think this setup is the most likely. Missouri: Oklahoma, Arkansas, Vanderbilt Arkansas: Missouri, Texas, Ole Miss Texas A&M: LSU, Texas, Mississippi State Texas: Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Arkansas Oklahoma: Texas, Missouri, Florida LSU: Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Alabama Ole Miss: Mississippi State, LSU, Arkansas Mississippi State: Ole Miss, Kentucky, Texas A&M Alabama: Auburn, Tennessee, LSU Auburn: Alabama, Georgia, Vanderbilt Vanderbilt: Tennessee, Auburn, Missouri Tennessee: Vanderbilt, Alabama, South Carolina Kentucky: Mississippi State, South Carolina, Georgia Georgia: Auburn, Florida, Kentucky Florida: Georgia, South Carolina, Oklahoma South Carolina: Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky https://www.si.com/college/2023/03/03/sec-football-schedule-dellenger-opponents-for-each-team-new-format Most difficult schedule is Florida who pulls OU now as their random made for TV rivals but second is Auburn then LSU. Easiest is Mizzou then Ole Miss, Miss State, and South Carolina.

They need to get aggy students familiar with their brand/products so they’ll be more job ready and prepared for work after graduation.

They’ll still be more valuable than Purdue. It’s like running from a lion, you just have to be faster than the slowest guy…

All things Apple, the tech not the fruit
I need a T-shirt that says I threatened Apple with a 25% tariff but instead of a gold plated butt plug all I got was this lousy T-shirt.

SEC Catch-all Thread
Does anyone care what other fans think about us? This list basically just follows the SDS poll they put out before we even joined…but he’s less annoyed by aggy, Oklahoma, Auburn, and more annoyed by LSU, gamecocks, and ole miss.

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
I actually believe they are right and aggy recruits are being dropped. This happened to Texas in the later years of FUPM up until Sark because we did a horrendous job of developing talent. So if there were a borderline recruit they’d drop if they committed to Texas and would go up if they committed to Alabama. Seeing the number one class of all time flame out and with Elko not having many skins on the wall it’s not completely reasonable to think they’d get the same treatment until they prove it on the field/in the draft.

Spill the Tea: Fiasco for “Safety in Dating” App
This is an incredibly naive take. As a father of both a son and daughter I agree that there should be an easy way to access criminal records to protect women but this site is an online slander forum that gives men no ability to correct or remove verifiable false information. I don’t agree with the hack, but understand why people may have had strong negative feelings about a site like this which sounds like it would violate Europe/California data privacy protection laws.

Yes the AAC’s TV deal is better…for now. Memphis and Tulane are getting a bigger share of it so they aren’t going anywhere other than if they are invited by the P4…for now. Moving to the Sun Belt would be a clear step down for the AAC teams, I simply stated that in Louisiana Tech’s nonP4 dream scenario that is the best case scenario what they could wish for.

The reason is their president and AD have never wanted to associate with ULM. But they realize the writing is on the wall this time as the Sun Belt is a better conference with a better TV deal which also limits travel costs. The 6 teams in the Sun Belt Western division is basically a bus league for LA Tech while CUSA has maybe 4? teams they could bus to. LA Tech would prefer to join the American with UAB/Memphis but has seen programs like UNT, UTSA, FAU, and UNCC pass them by. The Sun Belt with Southern Miss, App State, Georgia Southern, Marshall, and Coastal Carolina are far more attractive than anything left in CUSA. Add in Memphis and ECU for 16 and the Sun Belt would be nearly perfect for them (their unrealistic dream would be to drop both the Bama schools and ULM for UAB, Tulane and Rice).
