It makes sense geographically. Does it make monetary sense? Does the Tallahassee TV market take the SEC somewhere it wants to be? Does the FSU $$$$$$ make the SEC a better conference? Academically...not even going to touch that.

Thoughts?

Fuck'em-you don't ask the girl to the prom again when she said no the first time. They had their chance way back.   Fuck'em.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.'

I still say IF expansion has to happen...and I'm against it....FSU is my first choice, followed by GT and Clemson.  The rivalries with many SEC teams are already in place for all 3 of these schools.  TA&M makes no fucking sense at all.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

Clemson playing Bama back to back then playing us 3 years in a row leads me to guess they are the likely target form the ACC.

Adding Florida State would be like adding Notre Dame, it's a national TV market because of the success in the '90's.  Also with FSU you add a better than average basketball program and a top tier baseball program.

adding FSU and TAMU to the SEC wouldn't make sense...it would be like adding long arms to a t-rex.  or is it giving legs and arms to fish...? or something like that.

It would expand the reach of the SEC.  I don't know if it will help them carry all that extra money though.

I can see us reaching out to FSU but I'd hate to pick up A&M.  Unless it's about the money.

Mutha I can guarantee you it is ALL about the money.

It hasn't been about anything else since the early 80's.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

It's not a prom, it's business.  Any potential moves will be governed by one thing, and one thing only...MONEY!  Not "they'd be a great fit", "they're a natural rival to...", "geographically they're a good fit" or bullshit like "let's replace Vandy with to be more competitive".  It's about money, and it's not about anything you hear fans blabber about on talk radio. 

If it's mutually profitable for FSU and the SEC, then it goes.  If not, as they say: "bullshit walks".

TA&M makes no fucking sense at all.

Remember back in the day when Arky and TAMU were in the same conference...?  And remember back in the day when TAMU and LSU were SERIOUS rivals?  My late FIL used to say that no child or grandchild of his would EVER go to TAMU.  LSU people STILL hate TAMU.

Makes sense-ish.  Gives Arky or LSU a natural rival back.  The whole Arky - LSU things is fucking stupid.  You can't force a rivalry.
