Unbelieveable. I'm watching Blue Mountain State and what douchebag but Clay Travis makes a cameo in the ep that's on.

Was it really him?? BTW, I've watched 3 episodes of that show and I think it's pretty horrendous. Just can't get into it

That's madness. It's funny as hell. But yeah it was really him. They have cameos....Ochocinco, Chuck Lidell, Dan Patrick....etc.

BTW bro, I'm not having any luck on finding tickets at a respectable rate for UK-VU. At this point it's either scalpers outside Rupp or the online deal. Cheapest I saw were like $144.

Yeah it was him. He talked about it when his show was fairly new and listenable.

All the local shows on the Zone are terrible. I only ever listen to Dan Patrick.

I used to listen to the wake up zone when PK was on Thursday's and Tuesday's. I try listening to the 3HL but it's just terrible. I do think Clay Travis is the funniest one on there. Thus far I've been unimpressed with the midday 180. First the name of the show is dumb. Second Withrow and Hutton are dumb. And PK is the only one I'll listen to but when he goes off on tangent with his fascination with Springsteen and Seinfeld I just have to turn it off

If this were to happen, the traditional power structure of the conference could be radically altered. The conference has for decades had it's "Big Six". Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee. Were this formula actually put in place some of these teams would have huge advantages while others would have very tough yearly schedules. Of these teams Florida would be in a division to itself from a traditional power standpoint though they would still play two other traditional powers as cross-division rivals. Georgia and Tennessee on the other hand, wile both playing Florida as a cross-division foe will have to contend with one another as divisional rivals. On top of this they will also play Bama in the case of Tennessee and Auburn in the case of Georgia. And speaking of Bama and Auburn they are pretty much in the same boat as Georgia and Tennessee in they share a division with each other and also have to play two other traditional powers as cross-division rivals. AS for LSU, they also do not have any of the Big Six in their division though they will have to contend with Arkansas and Texas A&M along with facing Bama & Auburn yearly. Still they, like Florida will have a yearly natural scheduling advantage.

Big Six Yearly Games Against Other Big Six Programs

Alabama: 3 (one division foe)
Auburn: 3 (one division foe)
Florida: 2 (no division foe)
Georgia: 3 (one division foe)
LSU: 2 (no division foe)
Tennessee 3 (one division foe)

When you consider that there will be year when a teams divisional record will be the deciding factor in who represents that division in the "SEC Final Four" then you see LSU & Florida will have a have a huge advantage in not just having no other Big Six team in their division but also having one less Big Six team they face on a yearly basis.

SEC South

Florida (Tennessee and Georgia)
Virginia Tech ( Missouri and Texas A&M)
South Carolina (Vanderbilt and Arkansas)
N.C. State (Missouri and Miss. State)

SEC East

Georgia (Florida and Auburn)
Tennessee (Florida and Alabama)
Kentucky (Miss. State and Texas A&M)
Vanderbilt (Ole Miss and South Carolina)

SEC Central

Alabama (Tennessee and LSU)
Auburn (Georgia and LSU)
Ole Miss (Vanderbilt and Arkansas)
Miss. State (Kentucky and N.C. State)

SEC West

Missouri (Virginia Tech and N.C. State)
Texas A&M ( Kentucky and Virginia Tech)
Arkansas (South Carolina and Ole Miss)
LSU (Alabama and Auburn)

This whole thing is a FAIL on many levels.

1 - we are not getting VA Tech or NC State. Not ever.

2 - Any schedule that breaks up the LSU v Ole Miss rivalry is stupid - LSU should not draw Bama and AU

3 - Failing to pair KY with MO if we get the chance?

4 - Since we won't get VA Tech, this point is moot, but putting a team from the Washington DC area in the "South" division... Really?

We may well get 16 teams & 4 divisions. Know what I really like? Add ONE team, go to 3 divisions of 5 with one permanant rival & have the 3 division winners & a "wild card" team do a play in for Atlanta in a seeded format (strongest div winner gets wild card & 3nd & 3rd strongest div winners face off - home team for playoffs decided by a tie breaker system similar to what we have now to decide a division winner)
