You turn a convo that was about bowl organizers and their money grab into a slam on the SEC and wonder why you are being called a SEC homer? Jesus man. Look at yourself for a minute.
Does anyone else think I was attacking the SEC? Anyone? Really, does anyone else care either way?
Pac does have some shitty ties and has publicly worked at trying to get better ones. There are only so many good bowls. More than half are fucking garbage. None of the ones they have tried to partner with have worked out. As has been said now 50 times I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the distances. In general teams from the Big12 have a lot less distance for their fans to travel than the Pac for bowls in the south and most of the SEC bowls are in the south. It's geography.
That was exactly what was said to start this shit. There's nothing in there that any sane person would reach as a slam on anyone. Money drives the bowls and the organizers hold the keys. Nothing more complicated than that.
Who is keeping them out. This is an easy question."We didn't want to keep anyone out, we just didn't want to let everyone in."
And yet all you did was piss on your own shoes. Everything you think you posted as a 'gotcha' was already shot down before you attempted it, but you didn't bother reading it. You didn't prove a thing wrong. Not one.
So, since you aren't into paranoia or anything, how about you tell us how it all went down then. Who said what and how did it play out. Let's hear how this conspiracy actually works in your mind. Should be entertaining.Yeah that's how it happened. The 2 conferences just accepted invitations.
Once again, trying to summarize a conversation you admit you didn't read.
Why are you even bothering?
BINGO!
Once again, trying to summarize a conversation you admit you didn't read.
Having NO GAMES AT ALL against the SEC was the charge. Can't really do anything about the top 2-3 match ups for any of the P5's. That's a given. I stuck to the middle to at least stay in doable areas. Deals around that level should be able to be made if both parties have openings and a willing bowl.
Want to keep on trying to turn this into some massive attack on your conference? I'm sure you will.
BINGO!
The conspiracy BS finally comes out.
I mean not any actual proof it really happened, but at least now everyone knows you are coming from a place of paranoia.
Someone else tried to share with you what drove this divide and how your own schools actually really did exclude others, but that's different and special and not really the same. Never have I seen a word that said no southern school could be invited to the RB because of the color of their athletes. That's what real 'better than the rest' looks like. It's the full definition of it.
Wow, just wow.
I always thought that stadium sitting up in the mountain was cool, also had no idea that bowl game was that old.
This is exactly what you do right here. You take something that was a minor part of a discussion and take it entirely out of context and turn it into something completely different to suit your agenda.
And you have the unmitigated fucking balls to accuse others of having an anti SEC agenda? Your paranoia is off the damned charts. That's total and complete bullshit and thankfully you are alone on an island with this stupidity.
Card? So simply saying why the bowl tie ins happened is a card? Again, paranoid much? Is there any part of either of those that is wrong? Nope. Politics SEVENTY FUCKING YEARS AGO lead to a division and at that time when the south really didn't want to play with the north and the north didn't want to play with the south most of the bowls split off into tie ins. Oh yeah, you forget this part of it. It wasn't just the RB that took on regular ties with two conferences.
Sugar was open ended. How about the others? Did every single bowl blow up their traditions? Part of the problem with the changes in tie ins were the changes in conferences themselves wasn't it? Some left and got absorbed and tie ins changed, but they still had tie ins.
Ok, so SEC was told to make their beds........they also cleaned their rooms, took out the trash, walked the dog, and mowed the lawn. Maybe a little credit deservedNo disrespect to the sec, but they won 8 games they were favored to win. I wouldn't jump out my drawers congratulating them. They met expectations. Nothing more, nothing less. It's a great conference, but they did what they were suppose to do. It's like rewarding your kid for making his bed. He's expected to that every day, applauding his performance is unnecessary. It's expected and he'll get an ass cutting if he doesn't get it done.
OK the SEC is great.Ok, so SEC was told to make their beds........they also cleaned their rooms, took out the trash, walked the dog, and mowed the lawn. Maybe a little credit deserved
Other than the Georgia win there was not a game even remotely close to the spread
The conference that has hindered the college football progress for decades doesn't really get to complain and say other conferences have all the power and need to make things happen. It's time for the Pac12 to finally actually do something that helps, then you can complain about other conferences.
