SEC -- no offer to Texas A&M [update: offer to Texas A&M]

True. Should the wins he got while coach of Howard be included? I guess when you step back you can say he was smart to stay away from the SEC and get some championships. People can call them chicken but given the state of ball in this day and age that's about the least of your worries.

I wanted FSU in the conference and Bowden would have gone with it - if the Gators hadn't balked...a lot of bad blood I guess.

Clemson tie in with Auburn...they've only played once in the last four decades.

Of course Auburn knew Ole Bobby would beat 'em like a drum after they canned Terry but time heals all wounds and Auburn had a contractural option to buy out the game.

I guess you've never hear about the campus design similarities or the fact that they are considered sister schools or that Clemson is sometimes called Auburn with a lake. Come on Buz, you need Clemson as that's one SC school we know GA can beat, FSU not so much.

I can drive to Tallahassee though...just saying.


I hope we can beat Coastal Carolina they haven't lost a game and we haven't won any.

I'd rather that the SEC stay like it is. But that's not gonna happen. I like Clemson as the new member. When we lived in SC, we loved going to Clemson/USCarolina games and Clemson/Georgia games. Great rivalries.

Understood, but I can drive to Clemson

Something to think about

If Oklahoma leaves for the Pac-12 and takes Oklahoma State with them, the Big 12 is over regardless of what Baylor decides to do with this lawsuit.

But...the big 12 has a guaranteed automatic birth in the Fiesta Bowl until 2013, regardless of how many teams are in the conference. So Baylor would have a 5 team conference (assuming Tech and UT go with OU) that they are pretty much guaranteed to win every year. Winning the conference will get them to the Fiesta Bowl through 2013. Also, Baylor will get to collect the large checks these schools will have to write for leaving the conference.

This whole thing is just crazy. I think the NCAA should call a meeting to look at the long-term implications of all of this.

Please. No FSU in SEC. Let them join the Big 12 minus ?

As I look into my crystal ball for this week, I see that the little schools in the little 12 will drop the lawsuit threat and aTm will come into the SEC. The SEC will also send offer out to Mizzou, WV and FSU this week....stay tuned.. Might also see some wild announcements with the little 12 and the Big East collapse due to multiple invitations to their members by other conferences....

Crystal Ball holding true...
