Oh, I thought we were talking about popularity. Just your weekly reminder we have more money than anyone. Even the mighty SEC.

Texas has always had the money and quite likely will continue to have lots and lots of money - just does not always lead to wins on the field every year.

 

And TxHoops the conversation was about popularity till you made it about money - money does not always relate to popularity

Me thinks someone needs a course in Economics. Because in the world of sport, money almost always is about popularity.

@CBSSportsCFB: Ex-Buckeye 4* CB signee Jamel Dean tweets he'll play for Auburn http://cbsprt.co/1IVLmB5 (247Sports) http://twitter.com/CBSSportsCFB/status/596700507713986561/photo/1

 

 

@CBSSportsCFB: Dean wasn't cleared to play by Ohio St.'s medical staff, a decision his HS coach called "ridiculous" last month http://cbsprt.co/1FhC8Pg

He's headed to Auburn. My goodness Malzahn is putting together an all-star team.

Overrated?

​Horns fan take on the SEC ?

Is the SEC overrated - if only the 2014 Season is the indicator than perhaps it is.

But if you look at the 2010 - 2014 Seasons then no it is not.  The only other conferences that could possibly boast of the claim as the best football conference would be the Pac 12 and perhaps from a Texas fans perspective the Big 12.

But lets look at W-L in bowl games - My opinion the best indicator of the depth of a conference since you remove most patty cakes and generally only the best survive to play.

SEC        63% Winning percentage (31-18)

Pac 12    54% Winning percentage (20-17)

Big 12     47% Winning percentage (18-20)

All things have a time limit and the SEC's may well be here but I think that after 1 sub-par year it may be too early to predict the death of the SEC as a power.

    • I too, wish #15 was healthy and playing.  And also another RB (can't recall the #), who went down in the first game of the season. But, some others have stepped up and are hard runners.  I'm really looking forward to watching this game. 
    • Still, from what little I saw, it should have been a much closer game.  WOS was missing some fundamentals on defense, and a lack of imaginative play calling on offense.  Just my opinion as an objective observer on Texan Live, which was horrible btw, but that's another story. 
    • Either way,one game lead in the series. I rely to much on word of mouth 
    • West Orange Stark has been a powerhouse since I csn remember. At some point, your bound to fall off to some degree. Alabama has 3 or 4 loses this season. Who would have thought? Has Orange lost kids to LCM or even Orangefield?
    • Interesting matchup this Friday. Both teams have very good offensive and defensive lines, which will make this game interesting. Having watched Texas High all season, they have a wide open offense with very good skill players. If you look at their stats they run the ball 57% of the time and pass 43% of the time. Personally, that is a bit deceiving, as most of their games have seen reserves running the ball in the 4th quarter. I would estimate the primary offense is 50/50. Through 12 games they have run for 3,224 yds (48tds) and passed for 2,894 yds (32 yds). Potter, the Tiger QB, has been very efficient with a 69% completion rate and 1 interception (which came from a tipped pass). The passing is distributed primarily to 4 receivers…. Ball (865), Wrightner (811), Montgomery (532), & Pilgreen (392). The rushing comes from 3 running backs … Johnson (1,432), Ball (768) & Moore (716).  The Tiger defense is solid and very quick.    Hope #15 is healthy enough to play. He is a test for any defense. I was concerned about the Nederland RB, but felt Texas High did a good job containing him. I wish this game was in the afternoon, as Nachitoches is having their Festival of Lights and their will not be any rooms in the inns and restaurants will be full so plan accordingly. PNG are state champions until someone knocks them off, so I extend the Indians the respect they deserve. Pulling for the Tigers.
