saying something to the effect of "I'm for 9 games, but my colleagues should vote for what's best for the SEC and their schools"

That sounds like someone who's being pressured to take a position that he knows is against his own interests.

My biggest criticism yet, of Drink, is that he's pushing for - zounami MU - 5/31 08:25:33

9 game schedule is best outcome for all - tsutiger57 MU - 5/31 09:11:14

so, when Mizzou has one less home game every other - zounami MU - 5/31 09:20:44

On. Year where you have 4 SEC home games, schedule - tman MU - 5/31 09:38:00

That would still result in fewer home games on average. (nm) - zounami MU - 5/31 09:50:35

The only SEC school that's weighed in on this (publicly)... - zounami MU - 5/31 10:07:41

Seven is most we have had at home. That - tman MU - 5/31 09:53:03

Not for other SEC schools, and there's no reason MU - zounami MU - 5/31 10:05:01

I just looked at Kentucky. They have had 8 games three time - tman MU - 5/31 10:42:25

They have 8 games almost every other year. (nm) - zounami MU - 5/31 10:57:47

in fact, one of Kentucky's main arguments against a 9-game - zounami MU - 5/31 09:21:29

Once again I don't understand the Mizzou push to get rid of - Genco98 MU - 5/31 09:07:13

100% agree (nm) - zounami MU - 5/31 09:09:17

“But he needs to stop it either way” - El Zorro MU - 5/31 08:48:22

I texted him. He responded with a 🤐 emoji. (nm) - zounami MU - 5/31 09:00:42

Love his courage. He's not a coward like most TB'ers - Fourth and Long MU - 5/31 08:32:28

There's being brave, and then there's being stupid... - zounami MU - 5/31 08:52:39

He obviously hasn't received your phone call yet - El Zorro MU - 5/31 08:55:06

he backpedaled on it a little bit yesterday... - zounami MU - 5/31 08:57:53

or maybe he likes competition and money - lqf2b8 KC - 5/31 08:30:34

contrary to popular opinion, it would NOT increase revenue - zounami MU - 5/31 08:54:53

you are wrong. - lqf2b8 KC - 5/31 08:57:45

short-term, how will the league's revenue increase by - zounami MU - 5/31 08:59:59

ESPN will pay more. They are posturing during a - lqf2b8 KC - 5/31 09:02:50

That's not the question. Reports indicate that ESPN is NOT - zounami MU - 5/31 09:05:28

the reports can speculate but I cannot? That doesn't seem - lqf2b8 KC - 5/31 09:07:35

Your second question proves you haven't thought this through - zounami MU - 5/31 09:17:51

by the way your snarkiness is unwarranted. My confusion was - lqf2b8 KC - 5/31 09:48:42

sorry, I guess it was a bit snarky... - zounami MU - 5/31 10:09:57

so you are saying the 8 conference games - lqf2b8 KC - 5/31 09:41:03

Yes, I think 16 non-conference games could be more valuable - zounami MU - 5/31 09:54:40

we lose half a home game per year. That game was - lqf2b8 KC - 5/31 10:01:16

Check your math - AvuncularDawg UGA - 5/31 10:08:30

RE: Check your math - lqf2b8 KC - 5/31 10:10:34

RE: Check your math - AvuncularDawg UGA - 5/31 10:12:18

You don't have to lose a home game when you go - tman MU - 5/31 09:40:30

You do, actually... it forces one game to alternate between - zounami MU - 5/31 09:52:44

so what's your problem with this? (nm) - lqf2b8 KC - 5/31 09:54:18

being limited to 7 home games in a season - zounami MU - 5/31 09:55:33

We have never had more than 7. But you could have 8 - tman MU - 5/31 10:04:36

so you were against playing Illinois in the dome or the - lqf2b8 KC - 5/31 09:58:40

Yes... that series should have been home-and-home. (nm) - zounami MU - 5/31 10:08:08

“Reports indicate” - El Zorro MU - 5/31 09:07:23

I'm not saying the reports are definitely correct, but... - zounami MU - 5/31 09:24:12

that is how you were posturing though. - lqf2b8 KC - 5/31 09:42:30

Not allowed - we need to play in the weed-eater bowl - El Zorro MU - 5/31 08:51:04

let's schedule a quality non-conference opponent instead... - zounami MU - 5/31 08:55:37
