SEC Reaction When UT and OU Start Making Demands

[JohnnyCougar]

Much ado about nothing happens in the off season.

ANYTHING that makes fun of whorn and pokes at them at any way should be welcomed, anytime day or night…The hate and complete scorn for whorn and all they are should never go away …not ever.

[aldineblue (Monte P Gilliam)]

The same guys that did the skits showing all of us auditioning for PAC 12 membership should do something showing Texas and OU in a future SEC meeting with all their schools… It could be hysterical.

[CarlosBronson]

I just hope in some weird arrogant way LSU made UT upset by agreeing to play us. There, now it is UH related. That said, as future and past opponents anything OU/UT, always was.

I have thought about why they didn’t just stay in the Big 12 and extort more money. Eg demand 2x shares of payouts and veto over all Big 12 decisions. The 8 would have had no choice but to accept.

Assuming the Big 12 payout has been $500M after the new contract, UT/OU would could have for $75M each, plus LHN for UT so they would get close to $90M which is about as much as they’ll be getting in the SEC.

Perhaps this is the play all along. Now that they know each big12 school will receive 31 million, UT and OU can split remaining 120 million.

To UT’s credit, when other schools, like Nebraska, wanted unequal revenue sharing, UT said no.

Moncoog, we don’t want to post anything that gives UT credit for anything good. They are the Evil Empire and should always be treated with utter contempt.

So Nebraska leaving in 2012 had nothing to do with the LHN being founded in 2011. Got it.

“ So Nebraska leaving in 2012 had nothing to do with the LHN being founded in 2011. Got it.”

You have your anti orange glasses on so why not go back and see how UT was wanting to create a conference network before blaming UT ?

I believe Big 12 only introduced equal revenue sharing for Tiers 1 and 2 after the last realignment. And yes Nebraska was the biggest opponent of equal sharing and basically kiboshed the Big 12 network when it was proposed by the commissioner. It would have been the 1st conference network.

The commissioner got so disgusted he quit and went on to become the CEO of the Big 10 network. History could well have been very different if things had been done differently in the late 1990sz

Some of you are like a dude whose wife left him for another man 25 years ago. And you are still obsessed with her. She moved on 25 years ago, but you simply can’t get over it. You are laughing about her husband’s new promotion, and thinking maybe he will finally leave her now while you sit at home jerking off to midget porn. For your own sakes, move on. It’s pathetic. UH is in dire need of a rivalry, but UT ain’t it.

[Sukie]

Who’s the husband that Ut married that’s getting the promotion? I’m not quite following the analogy. Wouldn’t the ex-wife be the one who got the promotion … analogy sounds sexist? I’m just not following

[Sukie]

And also did that dude just call uh sports midget porn? Yeesh

[Sukie]

It was funny? Now I’m even more confused.

[qwanseeker (All aboard the Fritz Express)]

You are easily confused. Have a drink and relax.

[CarlosBronson]

Ya, I felt UH was more like Deniro in “Midnight Run” in this scenario (not of my making, BTW, just playing along). Could be a bad analogy too, but…
