[QUOTE="Techster, post: 977695, member: 360"] Do you think that was a sincere vote? At the time GT tried to rejoin the SEC, Bryant was in the midst of his legendary run at 'Bama. GT, meanwhile, was a shell of its former self. Given Bryant's underhanded history with Dodd, I am sure he took a straw poll and realized his vote didn't matter. Supporting GT was simply symbolic for him, and a way for him to rewrite history on the GT/SEC matter...in which he was integral in GT leaving. If Bryant really wanted GT in the SEC, he wouldn't have chickened out on the 140 rule vote. Bryant didn't show up for that vote...probably because he could not look Dodd in the eye while voting opposite of what he promised Dodd. It's akin to a politician who votes for a decided bill contrary to his party's stance but popular with his district. Bryant was a POS, but he was very smart with politics inside the SEC. He was the opposite of what Dodd stood for. [/QUOTE]
