1) "you ain't showed me squat to date and to talk like you will own us or any SEC team before playing them" A&M has been a better team historically than SC. I never said we would "own" anyone. I said there's no reason we won't be a great team in the SEC in a few years
"all this money in your endowment, you still haven't figured how to use it" We're one of the most highly regarded public universities in the nation, so I have no clue where you're going with that
2) "you are here because we agreed to invite you, not because we thought you were such a large university with a huge alumni and a fat endowment and a blah, blah, blah......I was one of the 1st posters to tell YOU that you were fixing to come to the SEC long before it was official" The entire reason we were invited to the SEC is because we bring money. We bring money because we have a "huge alumni and a fat endowment and a blah, blah, blah..." And I assure you we knew about the SEC long before you apparently broke the news
3) "the Big 12 South compared to the SEC East ...pleeze..." In the recent past, which is what I said, the big 12 south has been better from top to bottom than the SEC east. There's no debating that. A&M, texas, OU, OSU, baylor, and tech has been much deeper recently than the SEC east. Not saying the top teams from the east aren't better than the top teams from the big 12 south

1) Then don't try to tell me we are scared, far from it.History don't mean s*it at this point.You might go 12-0 this year, but you might not either.My point on the money is that the SEC is an arms race and you either get in or get out. You have a stadium in vast need of upgrading or replacement and have waited too long to pull the trigger, it will put you behind the 8 ball to say the least. Not that we have much better, but upgrades have been done and more are coming.My point is ...use your money and quickly...or you will never catch up. Hyman knows this and will push hard for it. Expect your ticket costs to go up within 3 years, significantly.
2) You bring money because you expand a tv market to ESPN that they, and the SEC wanted.Not because you had some money in your coffers. You were the benefactor.No, you did not..not you or anyone else except the top dog at your large, well endowed, huge alumnus,so well respected university knew this was going down at the time that I did.
3) The big 12 South sucks...that you should know by now.

I'm not sure why I continue ton post on this thread but what the heck.
We just completed a 20 million dollar upgrade to our baseball stadium. Final plans will be released in early winter for a 300 million plus stadium renovation/rebuild. We're in the midst of completing a 25 million sports complex. Our ticket prices are already high incomparison to most. Our last AD wasn't called Dollar Bill for nutin'...
I've always liked SC, y'alls uniforms are one on my favorites. The OP is a different type of cat - he likes to poke the bear - obviously it worked. Refute all you want but we're far from a 'Johnny come lately' program. We know out recent track record well and complain more to each other and downgrade aspects of it, far worse than anything that has been stated. There's not a thing stopping us from being great but the right coach and solid recruiting. Every other aspect exists, EVERY aspect.
~ Peace
Kudos to your early intell on the expansion.

I will say this, you Carolina boys don't give up easily. I mean damn yall will keep talking and talking....even if what you say doesnt make a whole hell of a lot of sense.
Oh and Knot Hole.... Dollar Bill Byrne (our old AD) can teach Hyman a thing or two about a thing or two about raising ticket prices. A year or so ago, we had the 2nd highest ticket prices in the country.
