[QUOTE="stinger78, post: 1004396, member: 6771"] TBH, the skirmish we’re talking about happened in 1978. It was all about who beat who and who never played who. Dodd had none other than Bear Bryant and Ray Graves pushing for us. However, he had owned Auburn and Shug Jordan wanted none of Tech back in, while the Mississippi schools held a grudge that we wouldn’t play them there (though few else did). Dooley over at the cesspool surely didn’t want to help Tech. Now, do you think that today somehow Auburn and UGAg want Tech recruiting right between the two of them as an SEC program? The answer is no. We beat the brakes off MSU 3x in the last 15 years or so, and a very bad program lost badly 2x to Ole Miss in the last 5 years, plus a bowl loss. Why would either of them want Tech in the conference? What we would have going for us is the addition of USCe, Mizzou, TAMU, Arky, OU, and UTA. Not sure how any of them would vote, but that’s 6 teams that might vote yes. Today it depends on what the delta is on media rights. GT being very far down these days does not help. The best chance is to hope Key can resurrect the program in the next year or two and give us better standing as a top-shelf program that a conference would want. That might get us another look from the B1G. IMPO, if the SEC looks our way it would mainly be to keep the B1G out of ATL. [/QUOTE]
