What you fail to understand Brother is Im a sports nut and always have been and Ive learned that you have to accept the bad with the good and most of the times things arent going to go your way.
You see Im a Chicago Cubs fan above all so Ive learned to accept losing until recently.
With that said I dont expect a very good season this year.
That doesnt mean I want to argue or mean any harm to anyone but discussing sports means we get to vent our unpopular opinions as well as gloat when we're doing well.
Kansas is a traditional powerhouse and I see a UT team that looks to be in a transition year after losing 3 NBA players,4 starters,and had 2 transfers.
Do you expect that to go well?
Am I a SOB for thinking that?
At the moment, it doesn't look like it. The only potential addition remaining looks like 5-star center N'faly Dante, but that's a longshot right nowThey need to find a big man up there especially if the young man from Arizona St isn't eligible yet..? I wonder if Barnes n the staff is looking at another transfer?

Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, South Carolina and Georgia are the four SEC teams sitting out this season's edition
What I don't understand is each of the 4 games is a home/home matchup. So, those 4 SEC schools can't play in the B12 games next year because they're all ready locked into a AAC game?
The last 4 in the SEC in the previous year are excluded. I don't think they can ensure that each SEC team can alternate home and away.
They don't necessarily exclude the bottom four from the previous season. Auburn, LSU, Miss. State, and Mizzou were skipped this past season. They finished 1st (tied), 9th (tied), 7th (tied), and 4th (tied), respectively, in the prior year. I don't know how they decide who sits out, but the SEC is often missing some of its best teams.
Teams are chosen for 2-year cycles. Auburn has been excluded because they finished 11th 2 years ago.
Auburn not selected for SEC/Big 12 Challenge due to SEC's two-year rotation
