I did. Wife liked the look until we sat down for dinner. Something about chitlins and permanency.

There are a lot of "ifs" on this list. How quickly does LSU take to buy in to Kiffins system, and how does Ole Miss fill the void for the guys that bailed and went to Louisiana are huge questions? Does Sellers have a reliable weapon or 2 and does the Oline hold up enough to keep him off his back? Miss St and a dynamic QB has the potential to jump up and steal a few wins in games they have no business being competitive in. UF and how much does the new staff get out of a talented roster? UGA is the stand alone 1, and Texas still has a lot of prove it with a rebuilt Oline and a new coord for the defense. Tenn Okla and ATM all have talent but there are still a lot of question marks. Ok has not produced at a high level on offense under the current staff and strength on one side of the ball os not enough in the SEC. Tenn has been so up and down that its hard to have high expectations and ATM has not fared well against teams that their roster talent should be blowing out. My dark horse to compete for an SEC champ is Missouri. Drinkwitz seems to always get the best out his roster. If they fare well in the first couple of games itll put everyone else on notice.Just a few opinions. Bama is another that jas a great coach but has underperformed the last few seasons. Vandy without Pavia and the grit and grime attitude is going to be back to what everyone expects Vandy to be. Inexperienced and short on weapons.

If Cruz and Cantwell had started this process in a collaborative manner, we would have settled these issues long ago. Instead they, Cantwell especially, were entirely focused on vilifying and punishing the sec/b1g. Now it’s too late. Oh well. The sec will be fine.

Agreed @Bobby Burton - feel free to copy and paste OTF family. Great post @Gerry Hamilton to debate on! Here's my Tier's Tier 1 - Georgia Tier 2 - Texas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M(can QB Reed eliminate TO's?), LSU (Kiffin factor and portal adds), Ole Miss (can Pete Golding hold the ship together?) Tier 3 - Alabama (need an answer at QB and DL), Tennessee (same here with QB and defensive question marks), Florida (sleeper team) Tier 4 - South Carolina, Missouri, Auburn Tier 5 - Mississippi State, Vanderbilt (post Pavia era), Kentucky, Arkansas

I kinda enjoyed the interview honestly. Speculation, but it seems that Norlander and Miller are pretty comfortable around each other, so maybe Norlander felt empowered to ask some more direct questions. I enjoyed seeing Sean respond, push back, and show some personality that he doesn’t typically show in these public appearances. I thought he crushed it. The non-conference schedule criticism isn’t really warranted IMO, but it was great to hear Sean’s responses.

I don’t see this getting to Thune today. The SEC/Big10 will have revisions no need to rush through this - if Cruz thought he had the votes, this bill would have been on Thune’s desk already. He need the Big10/SEC to sign off on the bill. If there is anything in there that is fluff - pass and have them start over.

I went to school with Russell Patterson, a Plano product who ended up getting injured and being a medical redshirt. He told me a cool story about Billy Ray Smith. Russell told me when he was growing up playing youth football, he’d go to Plano High games on Friday night. When Smith was playing and the defense needed a stop, sometimes the crowd would start chanting, “Billy Ray, Billy Ray, Billy Ray” in unison.

Maybe, I’ll be proven wrong. But I don’t see how anyone can put A&M in tier 2 instead of tier 3. And, IMO, Georgia should probably be alone in tier 1 until proven otherwise.

That’s the absurdity of our politics. Vote on something before we actually read the whole thing. Then some pork barrel congressman (on either side) adds something in at the last minute. Personally, I’m happy to see the Big 10 and SEC act rationally, whatever the outcome may be.

That may be called collusion.

Yeah another deadline. Guess they expected the Presidents to talk in their sleep😂. Total joke the whole process .

I'm glad Miller came back at him at the end and told him he was wrong on the scheduling. Miller said he'd done a deep dive on the analytics and would be happy to talk to him next March and see what he had to say.

Yep. I haven’t watched him much, but never seen him have an interview like that Glad someone else noticed

That makes his bowl accomplishments even more remarkable, does it not??? Being the last Texas coach to beat Kirby is the Cherry on the top, right?? 🤷🏿 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

I've watched Norlander for a few years, and I've never seen him ask another coach questions like that. He just interviewed Hurley a few days ago. Didn't ask him to disclose his payroll. Didn't ask him to explain why he likes to cuss out refs and threaten them by yelling, "I'm the best basketball coach in the world! You better watch what you're doing!" For some reason, Norlander thought he needed to play "gotcha" with Miller.

You should get Michael Ungar. Get the walk on perspective, still in the sports industry, and has overcome a family tragedy.

Agree 100% … I wonder if he’s asked Jon Scheyer, Todd Golden, Dusty May last year … what’s your payroll

Congress at Midnight: “here’s the final revisions, but we need a response by 10am.” SEC/Big10 :“yeah, your urgency isn’t my emergency. We’ll sleep on it and talk about it later. “

It's like Father Time...it doesn't lose.

No matter how much $ you generate, there are needs. At Texas, we need: A grass football field, re-model the softball field, an only soccer complex, a volleyball arena, and an athletes housing complex. All of these items cost lots of money.

That doesn't make sense, considering Ohio State is also a nike school. Unless it's something to do with the KD+Nike deal?

Look, if the game is shifting that way, you don't have a choice but to adapt to it. If you don't, you get left behind and become a Dabo Swinney. Whenever it does happen, I think CDC and the people involved in that decision making process will do right by Texas and find the best deal possible.
