That’s where they all went. I was wondering.

The greatest what if in college conference history was the Metro Conference plan in 1990

North Division

Boston College
Cincinnati
Pittsburgh
Rutgers
Syracuse
Penn State
Virginia Tech
West Virginia

all teams that found their way to Power 4 conferences eventually

South Division

East Carolina
Florida State
Louisville
Memphis
Miami
South Carolina
Southern Miss
Tulane

Penn State went for the Big Ten and FSU to the ACC and this blew up, but it would have been a good conference. Roy Kramer took the plan and ran with it, and added a championship game aspect that wasn't proposed.

You can’t honestly believe that?

How is Memphis even close to the same? Ark has nattys and has had solid stretches in the big 3 sports

Why add Arkansas when we could have added Memphis?

I went to the 2009 and 2015 Liberty Bowls, hog fans packed them both out at over 90%.

It's closer and cheaper than the rest of the bowls.

Memphis fans don't come close to filling up the stadium for home games.

Now that we got Mizzou we should drop bottom feeder Arkansas and add a school with a superior athletic program to theirs, like a Memphis or Iowa State.

Texas and Texas A&M are basically the same.


I don’t know about exact, but they have copied everything that they consider unique about themselves from Texas A&M

Longhorn ? Copied from Texas A&M.

Their fight song? Copied from Texas A&M

Hand sign? Copied from Texas A&M.

The list goes on forever, but the most recent is joining the SEC after telling everybody that they would never do it in 1 million years, all it took was Texas A&M to join the SEC

Both Texas A&M and Mizzou been beating Arkansas like Arkansas has been begging for some more beatdown. No wonder why Arkansas fans wanted Texas A&M and Mizzou gone.


You should be thanking us for giving you your only accomplishment since joining. Pitiful how ungrateful you losers are.

glad we didn't join the B1G. That would've sucked honestly. Texas has no connection to Michigan or Ohio.

Arkansas' record against Mizzou and A&M since we joined the SEC: 3-21.

I don't blame you for fantasizing about punting us to the B1G.

A really FUN conference.


The SEC was the greatest show on turf this year. I, for one, enjoyed the big marquee matchups going on every week. No other conference could come close to matching it.

The problem often is that people don't know how to enjoy life and continue to take for granted how good we have it.

You're correct on both counts! But come on up to Memphis in May here in about 3 weeks... it's always good.
