Jim Delany and the SEC

[miggy4vols]

Thought Climer was actually pretty spot on about the topic.

Big Ten's Jim Delany needs to get over SEC obsession | The Tennessean | tennessean.com

[TennTom]

Can't stand Climer, but I agree that he nailed Delany pretty well.

[golfballs]

Delaney is just like every Big 10 fan. They're all obsessed with the SEC.

Cue that Emperor Butthurt gif

[dukes_of_maggard]

And I suppose there are balances when mixing a lying football coach at Ohio State and covering up for an alleged pedophile at Penn State. But I digress.


BOOM

[Orangesmokey]

I had no idea the Commissioner of the Big Ten was that obsessed with the SEC. It's actually quite sad that he is that obsessed.

[vols-1]

This piece of garbage is the reason SEC fans pull for other SEC teams.

[ukvols]

If I kept an active short list of people in sports who I wish would lose their jobs, Delany would have been sitting at or near the top for many years by now. He's easily my least favorite NCAA sports administrator.

The article is nice but I thought everyone already knew he was a PoS.

[golfballs]

he's a frustrated old man. it's really pathetic

[volinbham]

the biggest joke is that he's dissing the quality of Alabama's team last year

[ukvols]

He says he "doesn't have a lot of regard" for Bama as if they stole something. I don't have a lot of regard for the system. I blame the system that let Bama in over OkSU. But, it takes a real idiot to dump on the quality of the team and schedule Bama had.

I love trolling Big Ten fans here. I could write a book on the (often uneducated) reasons as to why the SEC wins, including:

1. The weather is better, so everyone wants to olay there (childish and kinda funny).
2. They're on TV more (same as #1).
3. Weak out of conference schedules (always funny coming from a Michigan fan).
4. Easier admittance into college (like that really matters in the end).
5. It goes in cycles (nevermind the booming population of the South combined with the current mindset toward football. Just compare a Southern Friday night in the fall to here in Michigan. It ain't changing anytime soon.)
6. Every SEC team pays their players.

And how could I forget the absolutely ingenious idea an idiot I talked with had:

"Well, if you took all the best high school players down South and brought them to the Big 10, who would be better then? Obviously, the Big 10. We do that, we start winning again."

I laughed, walked away, and spotted him 17 on the Michigan/Alabama game.

Please do not associate ALL Big Ten fans with michigan fans. That is, by far, the most delusional fanbase in all of sports.

The thing that really bothers me about Delaney is that he keeps trying to keep ties to the Rose Bowl. I LOVE the Rose Bowl. I love the association that the Big Ten and PAC 10 used to have with the Rose Bowl, but those days are done. It is time to move on.

The Big Ten would be very smart to agree to the idea of First Round games at the home field of the #1 and #2 ranked team. Then, if the Big Ten can get their crap together, maybe they can force Bama, or LSU, or whoever, to come play a first round game in Spartan Stadium, or the Horseshoe in Columbus, in the beginning of December. Home Field advantage. Recruiting Advantage. Travel costs go down. Freaking incredible atmosphere. A Semi-Final Game in michigan Stadium, between um and LSU, for a chance at the National Championship, first week/second week of December would be the biggest game in the history of that stadium, and the freaking WT redneck michigan fans would be out of this world crazy. (you would still be able to hear crickets at field level, because the stadium design sucks. . . but you get my point)

And this freaking Delaney chump is worried about keeping ties to the G.D. Rose Bowl. I LOVE the Rose Bowl, but it is time to let go. Fire Delaney!

Also: if he took that bet, it proves how delusional those fans are. Bama by 24. And september heisman (aka shoelaces, aka dreadlock jesus, aka ArmPunter) will be broken into multiple pieces by the end of the 3rd quarter.
