2012 SEC Schedule Announcement Delayed: What Does This Mean for the Georgia Bulldogs?
We’ve been waiting all week for the expected release of the 2012 SEC schedule, but we now know that’s not going to happen. Here, briefly, is where we stand: What We Know The SEC office is “[w]orking through [the] final stages of [the] 2012 #SEC football schedule,” which will be...
Conference Expansion, Contracts, and Commitments: The Problem of a Nine-Game SEC Schedule
We interrupt Hate Week (or, if you prefer, "Hate Week II: This Time, It’s Historical") to bring you this SEC expansion update. As you may have heard, the Missouri Tigers will be joining the SEC East in 2012, which poses the immediate problem of scheduling with seven-team divisions. Though Greg...
Week Eight SEC Power Poll Ballot: The Countdown to November 5 Officially Begins!
It was a relaxing day in Bulldog Nation, as the Red and Black were idle and the Georgia faithful were able to watch SEC football free from anxiety. Consequently, I was tanned, rested, and ready---all right, I wasn’t tanned, because it’s late October . . . and, well, I wasn’t rested, because I’ve...
Bribing Carolina: Making an SEC Expansion Offer the Gamecocks Can't Refuse
This may all be moot if Missouri really is SEC-bound, but, after an argument, a rebuttal, an apology, another rebuttal, and a counterargument, I thought it was only fair to take the next step by offering a bribe. Fans of the South Carolina Gamecocks don’t want the Clemson Tigers in the SEC East....
The Counterargument for Clemson: A Respectful Reply to The Feathered Warrior, from One SEC Stalwart to Another
Now that the Big 12 may have been saved, the conference expansion conversation may have been rendered moot, but, because The Feathered Warrior was kind enough to pen an excellent rebuttal to my case for Clemson’s addition to the SEC as the league’s 14th team, I feel moved to answer, with a warning:...
The Case for Clemson: Why the Tigers Should Be the 14th SEC Team
A "high-ranking SEC official" told the Sporting News' Matt Hayes that "every option is on the table now". Presumably that means any kind of gentleman's agreement about not taking schools from current SEC states is off. Year2 (September 19, 2011) Today, as fate would have it, is the anniversary of...

Four Things You Need to Know About Texas A&M's (Apparently) Impending Move to the SEC
The first thing you need to know is that it’s all Texas A&M’s fault. We know that, because the Texas Longhorns told us so. The Aggies are breaking up the Big 12 that the Burnt Orange tried to save; it’s silly to suggest that the ‘Horns are using the depleted league as a...
Random Thoughts on SEC Expansion from a Tired Georgia Bulldogs Fan Sitting in an Airport Far From Home
This weekend, the fine folks at the largest and fastest-growing network of fan-centered on-line sports communities hosted the first (hopefully, the first annual) SB Nation blogger convention in Las Vegas. My wife and I, who celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary last week, went out to Sin City for...
Letting the Markets' Placement Decide: Ruminations on the Prospects for SEC Expansion
After the latest round of rumors about the Texas A&M Aggies joining the SEC went mainstream, the discussion of the topic here addressed the question of media markets. Among the several excellent points made in the comments were these: Conference expansion is 100 per cent money-driven. While, e.g.,...
