I sort of blanked on that.

Yeah, Bob Stoops helped Florida win the '96 MNC.

And Steve Spurrier, Jr., was an assistant at OU under Bob for awhile at OU.

Speaking of Tennessee, Texas has a very close historical connection to that state in the form of Sam Houston

Fun Fact:  Sam Houston is the only American to serve as Governor of two different States as well as President of a sovereign country

Pretty hard to beat that record

If there's room enough in the conference for three Tigers and two Bulldogs, then I don't think two UTs is really gonna stir up much trouble.

Like I said, it should be pretty clear from context which one is being discussed at any given time.  Anyone who's not smart enough to figure THAT out is, well... probably an aggie. :)

He's a nice graphical representation of one person's opinion of what the 3 perma-rivals should be for each school.  I predict that between now and the time the official schedule is released, approximately 3.8 million such graphics will be produced.




Well that's just ridiculous.

Nebraska isn't anywhere to be found in OU's perma-rivals.  Burn it and start over.  

Re: Florida's not having any die-if-you-lose rivalries other than UGA, I'm just guessing, but I suspect both sides on Florida and UTenn would want to keep that game.  Those guys have seemed to be bitter rivals for as long as I've been alive.  Every Vol and Gator I know really wants to win that game every year, and to win it you gotta play it.  However, that game is included in this proposed graphic, so moot point.  I wonder how UTenn and UGA would feel about not playing annually?  Cincy?  Drew?

Also, welcome to our humble little conference. 

Amenities include: CBS stumping for you, immediate access to annoying chants, preferential poll and voter consideration, and never having to admit defeat (from now on, like my wife with a "headache," you weren't up for it). 

Should you need anything, our offices are located in Birmingham.  Pay no attention to the staff of Bama grads that work there, they're totally impartial and will diligently consider any requests or concerns youlolz nm I can't say it with a straight face. 

Drop off your annual tribute and pound of flesh to their front door and hope they don't come up with reasons to do more bridge schedules where Bama's main competition mysteriously finds itself with UGA and the like while Bama bravely faces down Vanderbilt.  Keep your head down and the refs may even go light on you as far as "missing" the trillion holds the Tide OL commits unflagged each game.

The chart that showed permanent OOC rivals had OU playing oSu. I don't believe that's going to happen. Not for awhile, anyway. The Poke-Aggies aren't letting go of their sense of betrayal, and they have stated that they won't continue the rivalry as an OOC series. I supposed that could change in the future.

In the meantime, I'd be as happy as a pig in slop if Nebraska could become our permanent OOC rivalry.

Now that you mention it, I remember the Ole Ball Coach tweeking Tennessee at every opportunity.

So, keep Tennessee and Florida as permanent opponents, switch Florida's permanent matchup with USC-E to Mississippi State, where it takes the place of OU as a permanent opponent. And OU drops MSU for UF.

Presto! Voila!

Eh, Texas has sucked for over a decade in the B12.  Sucking in a new ZIP code won't feel that much different.

Yer gonna have to try harder than that if ya really wanna stir this pot.

Back to the Horn-tweaking-the-Aggies chart:



I saw something the other day and dismissed it. "Even/Odd" years for the non-permanent opponents to meet. Apparently, if you play NPO1 in 2024, you play NPO1 again in 2026, not in 2025, the way we did it in the original Big 12 structure.
