Well, no. But you're already in a conference with Georgia. So it's too late to protest having hillbillies in your conference.

I can't see Texas leaving the Big 12. They've got the perfect setup. They get their own network, lots of money via the conference TV deal, and the entire conference revolves around them, even when they suck in the big sports.

I can see the Texoma 4 going to the Pac 12. Remember, these are the WV insiders, who've been right in one of these 1000000 rumors that have been posted, that post was meant to be mocked.

I still harbor dreams of the MDC happening.

The current Big 12 is probably better for OSU from a competitive standpoint, but there would be some awesome new rivalries, especially in football.

In a perfect world, we could get Nebraska and Aggy back, and bring in Arky and Louisville. That would be a great conference.

Those states are not known for their hillbillies, protest how you will. Besides, even if one was to concede that you could lump Georgia and South Carolina into the hillbilly category, which I am not, you also threw out Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and Auburn, which most definitely do not have the "hillbilly" reputation.

I will admit I was focused more on jocularity rather than reality.

True, I was just trying to focus on something I could stereotype. I could come up with more offensive things, I'm sure.

Depends on what you refer to as hillbillies. For me, hillbillies are the type from Kentucky, West Virginia, and Tennessee.. Appalachian folk, if you will. The type that describe where they're from as "down in the holler."

So Redneck applies to states like Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and Texas(to an extent). Is Georgia also redneck territory or are they hicks? What about the Florida panhandle?

Yeah, I was just trying to figure out why I thought you went to Tech, knew you were a big Falcons fan from NFL gaf so I assumed the Georgia thing, but even still.

You can include northern Grorgia western North Carolina and Virigina and you've got us all. Although really in Tennessee and Kentucky it is divided like those others. The only full Appalachian state is West fucking Virginia.

You lost me when you got to the Hawks, but at least we have the first two in common. Going to be a great season for the Braves.

FSU has ever been a member of the AAU (I'm backed up by this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associa...Former_members). We have been trying to get in for a few years now, and honestly the academic profile of the school has risen a lot over the past decade so I could see it happening. See the fact that we've had two students selected for Rhodes Scholarships to Oxford in the past decade.

Our new president actually cares about the school and is a serious academic, unlike our last one who only cared about hanging out with Bobby Bowden.

I know that feel. UGA has been trying to get in for years. UGA's had 5 Rhodes Scholars in the past decade. Woof Woof

Pat Forde's twitter had Louisville spokesman said Clint Hill and the University received allegation, declined to say what. All I know.


In unrelated news my vacation starts in exactly 4 minutes, so I will be a ghost until tuesday.

No, but he may be sanctioned. I read something earlier that he just got hit with a "failure to promote a culture of compliance" or some similarly worded bullshit.

Inside MD guy backpedaled today. I'm thinking UVA is in though. Wouldn't shock me if they grab UCONN if it guarantees a BIG basketball tournament in MSG.

I've only seen the assistant coach stuff. Nothing on the university as a whole. Doubt anything like that would come.

Congrats to Bama on only having to cut 5 players.

Best part is, no one really knows how many actually have to be cut. Cause who knows who is still on scholarship!

Seriously, they don't reveal this.
