Posting History (19)

On trophy’s: I think the simpler, the better. I’ll just

throw a few out there that I like and dislike. Things simple like Paul Bunyan’s ax, the old oaken bucket I like. Things like fancy plaques of maps, fancy trophies and statues not so much. I’m really not a hater of any, though. Some are just a little too boring. Sorry but I think the Commonwealth Cup falls into this category. Maybe we can ding it up a little more and make it tough. How about this in addition to a trophy, each school can make its own β€˜heirloom’ and the victor keeps it until next year.

Looks to me like the Big Ten has the 2 poorest football states

New Jersey and Illinois. You might even throw in California (soon to be a Big 10 state) as 3rd poorest. I don’t think the big 4 in California have been hitting on much lately. But I’m told that money heals all and USC will be winning championships immediately with their brand new shiny hot-shot coach.

Your post is actually interesting. Thanks for the brief break

from realignment talk which has become pretty boring lately with no one knowing much right now. Maybe we need a history board? But I still like the realignment speculation. Keep up the good work everyone on the best message board in college sports.

I lived near Knoxville for 10 years. Believe me Tennessee fans

have a lot more respect for Virginia Tech than for UVa. Most of my coworkers were Tennessee alums or fans. They are not elitist and had a lot of respect for VT academics and considered us a basketball school. This changed somewhat with our sugar bowl win over Texas. But forgetting money and culture, I look at who brings the most β€˜SEC style excitement’ to football as being the best fit for SEC. Those schools in my opinion are Virginia Tech, Clemson, NC State, West Virginia and Florida State. Exciting football is what made the SEC what it is and that brings eyeballs to the televised games.
