Oh Well. . .

 The SEC extended the invitation to t.u. and Soonerville. Good news. We don't see them until 2025. I can wait.

Are You KIDDING Me?

 Why would the Longhorns and Sooners think it's cool to join the SEC? They must be losing money somewhere and want to cash in. A bloated sixteen-team conference is not the way to go. My vote is no, even though my vote won't count. It's still no.
