Was just about to post that here. It was pretty good this week. I have to say the funniest part was the end, which had nothing to do with Arkansas.

The moment the Vandy-Alabama game went final, my brother texted me and said, "PIMP VANDY LIVES AGAIN!"
Absolute greatness.

Man Georgia and Texas both play, one loses in embarrassing fashion and one wins in embarrassing fashion, and neither SEC Shorts nor SEC Roll Call has anything to say about it.
-
No, but SEC Shorts and MM's Roll Call both had pretty great videos after the first round of the playoffs. They went hard on Tennessee.

And mostly ignored Texas. I don't think SEC Shorts included Texas at all in that round.
Honestly I think they're each struggling with how to make fun of us. I love Matt's characterization of Texas with the cowboy hat and aviator sunglasses, but he's used it sparingly all season, when I think there were some chances to really take some great shots at us.
-
Right now, if I were SEC Shorts, I'd revisit the "SEC Top 10 Conference Room" and its burning conference table. Embarrassing bowl losses by South Carolina and Alabama, and embarrassing playoff losses by Georgia and Tennessee. There's tons of material here.
But... it would involve acknowledging Texas as "The SEC's Final Hope" and I'm not sure the SEC shorts crew is willing to do that.
-
I don't know that SEC Shorts has anything against Texas being the "successful" SEC team this season. I suspect whatever gets them clicks and lolz is all they care about.
In Matt's case, it has seemed this year that he's more interested in bagging on Oklahoma, and that preoccupies his material with "the new guys."
-
I mean, it's always okay to bag on Oklahoma.
I just find it interesting that in the week after the first playoff games, where Tennessee lost and Texas was the only SEC team to win, SEC Shorts had zero Texas content and produced a Tennessee-only segment. And now in the second week of the playoffs, where Georgia lost and Texas was again the only SEC team to win, they've produced zero content at all.
-
Maybe they're exhausted from Christmas and hung over from New Year.
-
Maybe so. It's just something I noticed early on during the season, and the fact that they've made zero references to the only SEC team that has won any playoff games this year, supports my earlier observations.
It's probably not that they don't want to, it's probably more along my suggestion that they're just not sure what to do with us.
-
Matt finally released a roll call yesterday. It was pretty funny and wholly appropriate.
-
Embarrassingly, I can never understand what the LSU guy is saying. Even though that's his point, I feel like I'm letting my people down by being confused.
He pretty much echoed your thoughts about Texas being ignored by the long-timers. Whether he agrees with it or is just making fun of the way he thinks it is, or both, I'm not sure.
-
I think he finally figured out what to do with Texas, which is essentially... nothing.
Texas doesn't think of itself as "an SEC school" and longtime fans of legacy SEC schools don't think of Texas as "an SEC school" so there's really no need to pretend that Texas is an SEC school, and so he can be done with it.
-
Give it a decade.
By the time less than 10 years had gone by, A&M and Missouri "felt" like SEC games. And kids now will never know anything different (to the extent that kids now will continue to care about cfb).
For as much as I like to treat Arkansas and South Carolina like the red-headed stepchildren, the truth is I don't hardly ever remember they were anything else. Another decade or so of A&M and I'll stop remembering they were anything else either.
Won't be long before Longhorns are whining about Alabama bias with the Birmingham-based SEC front office and the rest of us become sensative.

So, in 20 years the Old Guard might deign to recognize Texas? I get gooseflesh just dreaming of that day. I wait with 'bated breath. :)
I honestly don't think the current configuration of college football will be around long enough for that to happen. College Football Armageddon is already underway, the next big shift will remove even more of the cultural aspects related to opponents' scheduling, and the last of the soul of the sport will wither away under the undying sun of billions of dollars.

I'd click on "like" for that, except that I hate what you posted. Especially since it's 99 and 44/100ths likely to be true.

Makes me sad, too.
Hooray for Progress!

Sometimes in history we see unexpected course corrections that most people didn't see coming.
I'm generally pessimistic and highly cautious about the future, but I think there might be an unexpected course correction for cfb before it's completely dead. Though I don't know what it might look like.
It keeps being sacrificed little by little on the alter of bazillions of dollars, and that's why it keeps mutating into something we care less about. Fine, we all know that. But as people care less, the bazillions of dollars won't be there, and the market sometimes corrects in ways we don't predict. It could be that before everything goes completely to hell, some aspects we like will be brought back in some capacity. Often, those who profit want to make sure they keep profiting, and they should have plenty of signs and warning that the sport is dying.
Not sure it will happen, but it's a possibility, I think.

Man I hope you're right. I'd love to still love college football in 10 and 20 years.
