    Get used to what? Them winning an occasional game against us while we head to Omaha every other year? 

    It's truly something watching them say this to the 2021 3rd place finisher in the CWS because they won a meaningless mid-week game.

    Sugar Land? But why? Because there is a baseball field?

     

    I mean, if you want to throw a bone to UT/A&M/LSU to geographically feature another part of your SEC region, you can grab a minor league park in Texas (Round Rock or Sugar Land).  

    The baseball  tournament won't leave Hoover (it's been the tournament site for 23 years).  It's all wishcasting that the SEC rotate their champ sites to feature different parts of their conference. 

    But we should just get used to annual road trips to Hoover for the SEC baseball tournament, Nashville for the SEC basketball tournament and occasionally to Atlanta for the SEC football championship.  The SEC softball tournament actually rotates through campuses, so it may come to Austin (and Norman) very soon.

    You can bet Jerry Jones will be on the phone once the ink is dry on the acceptance of UT/OU to have the SEC title game rotated between Atlanta and Arlington. He's probably had the documents prepared for years for it.  

    I'd be for basketball being held in NOLA as it's pretty much as central location  in  the SEC foot print as you can get as a destination type city.   Could argue Memphis too I guess?

    For baseball ,  Hoover and OKC would be an OK  rotation as far as spreading it around geographical if that's the goal.    But if you add an additional eastern location as an option such as Columbia/Greenville, the western part of the conference should have one too.   Don't know where exactly, but it would be cool somewhere in Texas at a (Double AA or Triple AAA)  minor league field.   Nashville would be too much of a home field for Vandy.   I've never liked OKC for the same reason being a close drive for OuSux, so I wouldn't put Round Rock up for the same reason.  

    I was trying to sort of divvy up the map of the SEC into 4 parts where OKC/Dallas/Houston, NOLA, Nashville/Hoover and Atlanta/Greenville/Columbia sort of hits every geographic part. 

    You could add Round Rock or Sugar Land if you want to have a fourth location to offset Greenville/Columbia.

    Pretty sure the SEC basketball tournament is locked into Nashville until 2030.

    Probably, but my dream would be to rotate it throughout your footprint.  For all the conf championships. 

    Fuck Mizzou hosting the SEC swim championships - it needs to at Texas.

    If they're going to take advantage of securing their position in two of the strongest sports markets in the conference and further ensure the best high school players in Texas go on to SEC schools, it seems in the SEC's best interest to put Dallas and Houston into the rotation for conference championship games.  And that's not just Texas and OU throwing their weight around.  It's a good business decision.

    I would do a rotation of your conference champ games for all sports:

    Basketball: Dallas/Houston, NOLA, Nashville, Atlanta
    Football: Houston/Dallas, NOLA, Atlanta
    Baseball/Softball: OKC and Hoover (maybe add in Nashville and Greenville/Columbia for baseball)

    Spread it around within your footprint.

    I just...in what world do these parents think this could possibly be ok?  Are these the people that have never flown before? 

    I was on SW flying back from Cabo and the FA shut that down before we even pulled away from the gate

    I don't really see the point in helping slightly-less-insane Republicans get elected. They're still going to bend the knee to Trump. For seats that are basically Republican locks, I'd prefer they be held by absolute idiots and loons rather than the somewhat-savvy business types that can give the impression that some of the party is still sane (and can figure out Congressional procedure enough to fuck with Democratic bills or at least scheduling).  

    Ellzey's election to Congress also creates a vacancy in the Texas House. 

    It was a little of (1) deny Trump (and Stefanik) a win and (2) reduce the TX GOP's numbers by 1 in the House for critical special sessions

    Gundy retirement in 3..2..1

    Depending on where ISU and OSU land, Gundy and Campbell may be looking elsewhere after the 2021 season. 

    Aranda may also be really regretting taking that Baylor job.

    Watching the finals now and it’s got to be especially frustrating for her seeing the Russians fuck up knowing they could have won the gold if her head was in it

    Her vault was so bad I don’t think they could have won gold regardless. She guaranteed them silver

    If we don't win gold or even medal, is it really that big of a deal? What exactly do we have to prove? We know that we have the best players in the world and have proved it on multiple occasions. If we wanted/put our best out there this would be no competition. Other countries need that juice. We don't.

    Wow we aren’t even an SEC program yet and already running with “we didn’t want to be there so who cares if we lose” type excuses. 

    We’ll fit right in!

    Translation: I am out of a job soon.

     

    Bowlsby sucks at his job.  

    So he will be the next NCAA President.   And then hopefully that blows up under his watch too.
