How much of the Texas market will Texas A&M bring? It competes with Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and maybe TCU. I assume only Texas beats A&M in terms of being able to deliver a Texas audience but the others are still serious competition, especially being in the same conference as Texas. Baylor, SMU, Houston, and the rest probably are bit players. Nationally, I have met far more Longhorn and Sooner fans than Aggies. Does A&M have a big following outside of Texas? Probably a big reason why CBS doesn’t want to pay more. They aren’t getting more out of a expanded SEC. ESPN does get more inventory and keeps NBC Sports from getting a foothold. 9 SEC games is the way to go. Give fans great games, play a hard schedule. If you want to be the best, play the best. If the SEC is the best conference, play more SEC opponents. Stop worrying about how many road games every other year. If you can’t win on the road, you don’t deserve to be a champion.

I wonder how much Coach Saban would want to honor that rivalry if it was Georgia or Florida instead of Tenn and LSU had Tenn? It’s a serious question as I am new here but can sure see where Les is coming from…

The Ol’ Ball Corch just loves to hear his own voice. That’s all that is. He’s an babbling whiny a$$ baby is all.

Probably just paranoia on my part, but after reading articles 1-5 I can’t help wondering why there isn’t more mention out there about Saban indorsing a 6-1-2 format. That’s not to take anything away from the fine folks who run this site. I know that MRSEC.com has been posting the logic of the move for at least as long I have been visiting the site. But honestly none of these other school-based sites (AL.com being the exception) will quote Saban and his take on what the fans want? I’m willing to say conspiracy.
