SEC with Tech!

SEC with UT and A&M already? Not a snowballâs chance in hell.
If the sec wants anyone from the b8 it is okie state.
Owning Bedlam could be next?
I think the PAC already knows 100% if they want to expand and with which schools or if they 100% do not want to expand.
Iâm sure theyâve already had their discussions with FOX and have been doing their due diligence for over a month, right after the UT/OU news broke.
The PAC commissioner invited schools to make their pitch to him at the time, remember? He said he would be dumb not to listen.
We havenât heard anything from our leaders, but Iâm assuming (hoping) we were one of the schools that made a pitch and that our leadership team made a very strong and convincing pitch.
All of these things have already happened.

Agreed
The metrics PAC should consider are contained in:

IMHO, every other conference had better be paying attention to what the SEC is doing or there will only be THE KING KONG SEC and the other ferrets. There is value in stomping your opponents, and frankly I would not be at all surprised if the SEC didnât go after the ACC next. The other conferences are doing what? ZIP. Everybody is runnin their mouth doing nothing. Meanwhile the SEC is being aggressive and bold, and could control MOST of the revenue in college football with ESPN. UH has been standing on the side of the road watching everybody zoom past! I donât know what will happen but UH watching other schools (eg Louisville) building up and moving forward seems self defeating.
Have you not seen what we have built in the last 10 yrs? We have the highest paid g5 coaching staff

You mean the highly paid coaching staff that went 7-13? Ya mean them?
The leftovers numbers in that ranking are skewed by their games against OU and UT.
Those are Apples 
The post 2025 â i.e. the future numbers Oranges

#12 best team of the 70s. Pretty cool. Received votes for 60s, 80s, and 90s.
These guys predict we will finish 8-4 this year with losses to TTU, Tulane, USF, and Temple⊠? Because they are away games I guess but I donât see losing to USF and Temple. Maybe Tulane they seem to be getting better.
No one knows anything.

Explain to me how the Rocky Mountain region of Denver is supposed to be more identifiable to the PAC schools of the Pacific coasts than Houston?
The better question would be Utah. Colorado is a mega-liberal system with an excellent academic reputation in a picturesque, touristy western state. Colorado actually fits in nicely to the Pac theme. Not sure what their research looks like. You have to see how they fit into that conference better than UH. And
Denver TV has always been focused on California, as the Broncosâ biggest rivals were Oakland/San Diego for decades. Coloradans hate Texans but they donât hate Californians. (Although I think a lot of the anti-Texas stuff is just tourist mischief centered on ski season)
The black sheep is Utah. They do a lot of research and theyâre a great school but, despite their reputation as the âanti-BYUâ, their students are, by and large, representative of the state in general. Californians do crowd into Park City every year though. But we all know how that inclusion came about. (Orin HatchâŠcough)
And you could make an even better case for the Arizona schools - as âZoniesâ are loathed in SoCal. (But theyâve been a part of that conference forever so I guess theyâre grandfathered in philosophically)
Well, theyâre the highest paid coaching staff for a reason â itâs because the school is aggressively pursuing avenues to become the best football program it can be! Just because the results havenât match the effort doesnât mean theyâre doing nothing!

I agree. It was a calculated risk but one made to advance the program. I give them two hardy thumbs up for having the cojones to try.

Could that be itâs because part of Colorado (Particularly todayâs ski resort regions) was a part of the Republic of Texas? Guilty conscience, I guess!
