    Sellout stadiums and national TV coverage benefits the schools also.

    I dunno dude. UT is one game every two years (home). I don't think SEC schools are gonna be clamoring to have them in their pod the way you're assuming. They're all already doing just fine.

    I hope we schedule tech out of conference now and then like we do with rice. That’s the only team I’ll miss.

    Agreed, too much good hate there not to play them every couple-ish years. Okie State games tended to be fun too, but I imagine OU will take care of them OOC.

    Agreed. I think though it would be seen like a quality addition in terms of fan appeal for the game as oppose to a Missouri. Do they need it? No. Are they content with what they get? Absolutely. We always bring out the intensity in opposing fans. They really love to hate us which is good for the product.

    Much needed pickup. Sark has surprisingly swung and missed on a number of recruits. Hopefully a good showing this season can help turn things around.

    how many top recruits for 2022 are already committed? Hopefully a 9 win season or better this year would mean a good haul in ‘23.

    Still a lot of top guys left on the board but doesn't sound like UT is trending for a number of them at the moment.

    How funny would it be it it was UT and OU in the big 12 title game?

    A couple of my poker buddies are big UT Alums, they basically were like....at least now they might TRAVEL to see a game, no reason to go to Lubbock, or Ames, or Dallas Fort Worth....just boring.....

    Now, they will get a chance to play some real good competition every year.

    LOL

    Gainsville, Stillwater, Oxford, Columbia (MO), College Station, Other Columbia (SC), Starkville.....

    There are some good ones, but you don't need a football game to go to Charleston or Lexington or anywhere on the East or Gulf Coast.

    I'm going drawn in by the player snipets. Maybe this is finally the year they put it all together. I guess we'll see.
