The yearly rivalry setup is dumb. Penn St doesn't have one.
True. Who is Penn State's rivalry? Before joining the Big 10 it was Pittsburgh; whereas, other schools had some kind of history. I guess one could say the same for Nebraska before keaving Big 12 it was Oklahoma. Those were some great games. I see your point, though. My point was Saban was complaining about to having to play his rivals: Tennessee, and Auburn (along with LSU. I wasn't aware that LSU was a big rival of Alabama other than being competitive). Adding to that it appeared that Saban wanted to play Vanderbilt every week because a 9 game was, in his words, "too difficult." The SEC's 8th or 9th week scheduled patsy is embarrassing. With all points considered, I thought the Big 10 handled the scheduling better. When conferences add teams (and money $$$), there will be changes. One of the changes is losing the rivalries that made college sports fun and entertaining. Then again, I'm in a demographic that is not important to the money makers and young network executives. I still prefer the Kilgore Rangerettes ? to staged, music acts ? at halftime of Cowboys Thanksgiving game.

I myself like the 8 game conference schedule, but not for the patsies. I like variety in the schedule and the more OOC games you have the greater that variety. That would put me in the 1+7 camp. The B1G model, like I said, is stupid as it has 10 teams with 1 +8, 2 teams with 2+7 and 4 teams with 0+9 conference scheduling. How is that even remotely fair? Its the most convoluted thing I've seen at all levels of football. I would take the 3+6 model (which I don't like, F aggy) over that every day and twice on Sunday.

 
Rangerettes are nice however always liked the Apache Belles better. Kilgore vs Tyler was always nice. Too long of a drive now days.
potayto, potahto...Both are ?

For those of you who are not familiar with the rivalry of the two schools, it is fierce. The two drill teams have nicknames for each other: Whore Corp vs Puche Bells.  

 
It was sicking to me when Texarkana J C canceled football.
Same with UT-Arlington (Mavericks). Daingerfield product Gary Lewis went there in 78-82 and was drafted by the Packers. He was with the Packers for several years, making a name for himself blocking PATs and FGs. Lewis was 6'9 and played center for Daingerfield's state champion basketball team in '77. His ticket was punched in football though.

UT-Arlington abandoned football not long after Lewis left. High school teams would play there (AISD and HS playoffs). It is a nice stadium.

When is Dave Campbell's coming out? I heard two weeks ago that they were verifying addresses for promotional copies.
