I hear you, but to paraphrase bob knight, even when you’re outmatched and outmanned, and things look bleak, when I look at the other team’s sideline and see Ed orgeron, I know we have a chance! (As it happened he was referring to lsu also, in that instance it was dale brown.)
What scares me is they get a decent team to work out the kinks before our game. We only get FAU and USF.
It's the kind of game we win. Highly ranked team coming to Gainesville. We've done it before but it's usually against an overrated opponent. Bama is really, really good.
I'd be surprised if King is even close to 80% healed from ACL reconstruction. He tore it in late December and there's no way his knee will handle the beating he'll take with that mediocre O line. He should just redshirt(again) and make an attempt at a 7th year of eligibility, a la Andre Debose.
No effing way the SEC goes after FSU, that ship sailed over 30 years ago. You should thank Bowden for that.
Your best bet here is Miami getting back to their roots that weekend and just trying to hurt Alabama players that way Bama limps into The Swamp.
Kind of. South Carolina from the ACC in the early 90s and Arkansas from the disintegrated SWC. They formed two divisions and a conference championship game that has become the norm. Expanded to 14 with A&M and Mizzou. Big10 expands after that as well as the ACC.
I’d rather see a merger too. But if the SEC adds to 20 you can see a path towards the SEC adding more and becoming its own college football league. They could do that and break away from the NCAA altogether. It’s a long shot but there’s also more than enough schools that would love to create their own rules away from the dysfunctional NCAA model.
Not sure how long the Cocks were in the ACC but they've been there for as long as I can remember. Soon after the demise of the SWC, Arkansas joined the SEC in 1992, I believe. The Cocks joined the same year.
The SEC created the conference championship games. They were the first to go to 12 teams. Since then there hasn't really been a wave, it's just happened in spurts. But if OU and UT do join the SEC, the Big 12 is done, at least as a major football conference, and that will set off a huge restructuring.
SCar football was in the ACC 1953 to 1970. Football was independent 1971-1991. All other sports(or at least basketball) was Metro Conference 1971-1991.
Possible scenario is.
You are right, Florida is scared to leave. When we do leave, y'all's battle cry is we are scared to play Miami. That FSU has played Miami so many consecutive years blah blah blah...played USF blah blah blah...
