Sorry rams. It looks like Indiana is hopeless yet again

[FiddySicks]

Oh you know that when they say "big impression", they really meant an offer of 100,000 dollars or more. No way does a dude commit to Indiana after considering Notre Dame and Vandy, then just all of the sudden commits to LSU out of nowhere without getting a big fat under the table check.

"When I went to Lousiana, it was just awesome."

Uh huh, right.

I'm thinking the prospective football player was accompanied on campus by a young, big-breasted Cajun co-ed that "loves to have a good time".

I almost went to Ole Miss because of one Saturday afternoon spent with a lovely brunette at The Grove.....

Glad to see Gunner sign to play for LSU. It'll be an interesting quarterback battle between him and Mett for sure.

I'm assuming that the Alabama-LSU game will be the first bowl game featuring two teams from the same conference at the time when the game is played, right?

[Chicageaux]

I believe so.

I believe so.

1979 Orange Bowl and 1964 Sugar Bowl first come to mind.

I think it's safe to say that the SEC really likes Georgia (as in not giving them either LSU or Alabama two years straight).

It's funny you mention that because my dad and I were just talking about the same thing. It's been noted that these schedules are just for 2012 and in 2013 they might look completely different. I've noticed that's been emphasized in everything I've read. One team will lose their cross-division rival, not sure how the rest will work out.

Doesn't not playing them make more sense though? You would miss the same teams for two consecutive years to adjust for the home/home that you would have if you did play them in cross-divisional games.

The fact that they keep it at eight conference games illustrates that the conference does not want to have an additional seven loses for its membership and giving $1M/game to either a Sun Belt, WAC, or FCS opponent is more important. That possible win is more possible with an OCC opponent.

The SEC won't give up the Cross-Division Rival thing. The reason I believe that is how it became such an issue with Missouri joining the conference. Alabama refused to let Missouri join the west and have Auburn move to the east because then it meant it either had to give up it's rivalry with Tennessee or Auburn something Bama did not want to do at all. There's also the fact how important some of these rivalries are to the students. I have first hand knowledge to tell you it's a big deal when Florida and LSU play and to lose that guaranteed game every year would be quite a disappointment. There's talk that after this coming year (2012), Arkansas and South Carolina will no longer play as cross-division rivals. South Carolina would add Texas A&M and Missouri will play Arkansas.

I knew it wasn't going to be easy for the Huskies to face RGIII, but god... This could be ugly fast.

No :censored:ing clue why he ever considered going to Bloomington. After he decommitted though, LSU was always a choice...
