    Would it be both appropriate and fair to say that we just witnessed TAMU go through the entire Dumpflower Cycle?

    If the closed shop SEC super league ever comes to fruition and everyone not in it is shut out the end result may be unintentionally forcing the sport back into something more regionalized. "Regionalized" may not be the right word given the geographic sprawl that will still remain/worsen but I think it makes the point.

    If I'm an Irate Eight fan why am I going to spend any time watching something I'll never be a part of?

    Not even that. Limited food, drink, etc. I could see the layout being nice pre 9/11, but lack of everything else makes it horrible.

    They used to have restaurants though. They had the upstairs restaurants in B and then some others scattered around.

    Man, we had a conference. I was just reminiscing about when Colorado and Nebraska were still here. What a time. Till those two programs turned about to be baby back bitches and really caused the turmoil leading to the splits.

    The GOUT thread. Sigh. Mems. Love. Food.

    I did shed a tear today when we officially accepted. there was much joy, but leaving is never easy

    and really if Nebraska and Colorado hadn’t left we would be fine, could’ve expanded with them. and now look at the state of their programs smh

    Someone needs to create a website to properly track all of this excess cash for schools gained through realignment. Not in terms of success on the field, just in general, how are they spending and reinvesting the spoils of war. I bet it varies quite a bit.
