I’ve always thought UT was far more B1G than Sec. Conference full of flagships, AAU members and good to great sports teams. What’s not to like?

Have you ever met anyone from Ohio?

But, yeah, point taken.

Texas’s schedule in the Big 10 would look a lot more like its Big 12 schedule than its SEC schedule.

You guys complained about having schools like us and the Kansas schools on your schedule every year, but that’s basically what you’d have got in the Big 10.  Maybe one of Pedo/OSU/Mich per year.  A lot fewer helmet schools than the SEC.

I disagree. Us, UW, USC, OR and the dumb fucks in Norman would have shifted the landscape. Especially if this was done +10 years ago as the P12 would have secured far better TV deals the last 1-2 rounds.

"insane cultural disparity" outside of football, what in the fuck do we have in common with sec?

 

I would have enjoyed this trip

Over plantation tours

Then take the trip?  This is about football and not fan vacations, football is far and away the most important cultural touchstone.

The Pac 12 didnt put sports at the top of their priority list and now they don’t exist.

In actual realignment news…

 

I'd like to sit in on one of these meetings just once.

I'm a little surprised the SBC is choosing to add a third Louisiana team rather than WKU or Liberty. But, whatever.

Bottom line is ESPN didn't want FOX to secure UT and 0u inventory. That's why ESPN money-whipped us with LHN.

Not sure how you travel, but when I go see us play on the road, I go do things in the local vicinity if there is something worth doing.

And there is a lot more going on in the old P12 vs most of the sec destinations.

Not a fan of a place that considers Prego over noodles chili.

I used to go to a lot of road games.  It would be a weekend trip designed around soaking in the game day experience of that school, with little time for exploring the greater locale.  I would much rather do this in a place like Baton Rouge than Palo Alto.  The amount of fun I had in a trip had a lot to do with the game itself and experience around it.

I travel around the US as much as I can, and my actual vacations rarely overlap with places that have major colleges.

Well, we are clearly different. You go to the game and bounce. We don't.

Since the majority of the cost for said trip is already laid out and if you are already going to be there, mind as well take advantage of things to do. That's how my group like to do it. We enjoy the game and experience and when that is done, we go explore. And there is a lot more to do in the old P12 than in sec country. Unless throwing rocks off a bridge, noodling or cow tipping is of interest for someone.

To each his own ;)
