UT Season Tickets

[Gary Hodgin]

Just got my season football tickets from the Vols. I hope they can beat Montana and Buffalo.:(

I was confused by your title at first, but I figured it out........ :rolleyes:


UT Season Tickets = University of Texas

ut season tickets = University of Tennessee :D

[Gary Hodgin]

Heresy, heresy. I didn't realize this misuse until I was about 30.

It will be rough at my house this year. The wife and our oldest son graduated from the University of Texas. My youngest 2 (twins) are attending Texas A&M and this will be our first year of family football rivalry.

And next year maybe your first year of a family football conference rivalry.

[Ben Hatcher]

My first year of family football rivalry was last year. Then my team vacated all of their wins. Does that mean that THIS year becomes the first year? I'm so confused.

Robert, glad the twins restored hope for the family. Send rain with them, btw.

Tom,
Any rumors about A&M joining the SEC. I've heard 2 sports call-in shows discussing the possibilities for SEC expansion (2 teams) today and both mentioned A&M. Georgia Tech and Oklahoma were the other two. The rumor is that A&M is upset about the University of Texas' (not the real UT) TV deal and wants out.

The SEC school's presidents apparently are interested in expanding for economic reason and would like to have A&M but need someone else to balance divisions. I doubt the coaches are real interested in bringing in both A&M and Oklahoma. Schedules are tough enough already.

I just saw on ESPN the SEC is talking to Florida State and Texas A and M.

[Gary Hodgin]

Paul,
What I heard was that FSU and A&M were likely the Sec's first preferences, but that FSU probably doesn't want in. Not exactly sure why but the commentator said the conference looked at adding Miami and FSU a few years back and that FSU wasn't interested. Perhaps, FSU changed it's mind. I'd also heard Georgia Tech and A&M.

The advantage of adding GT or FSU over OK would be that it would be less disruptive to the divisions. GT or FSU to the east and OK to the west. The problem with GT is the likely opposition from UGA and the fact that Atlanta is already a big sec tv market. These presidents are looking at tv markets and that's why A&M is so attractive. Any new teams are likely to be expected to add at least $19m of tv revenue. Apparently that's the team splits now.

Gary,

I dont know of any of the facts really, Just the ribbon on the bottom of the screen stating SEC looking to try to add Florida State and Texas A & M. SEC presidents meeting I think it said.

I love college football. I'm from Louisiana and an LSU Tiger fan and mostly watch the SEC games. Surprisingly here in Virginia we get 2 or 3 every Saturday. Fine by me.

PHM
