WrongSaidFred just LOVES to ****e on Miami and Miami fans. He's a Yale MBA who thinks his genius ideas are so much better than ours, regardless of practical considerations, logic, or precedent. He just thinks we should LOBBY the various SEC Presidents, and that everything will work out in the...

It's all good, I just had "academics" in my head from TimeBum's great post. I got lost for a second, that was my DJ Ivey post. I reacted too slowly... Yeah, there's no (current) compelling reason for the SEC to take us. And the TV networks haven't made things easy, like when they paid the...

What a retarded post. We can't "join" the SEC. We have to be invited. And the last time the SEC considered expansion, Florida-Kentucky-Georgia-South Carolina formed a veto bloc that prevented any offers from going to Miami, F$U, Louisville, GaTech, and Clemson (before Clemson became a...
