Yep, silly rumors abound about a recent 26th SEC football championship. That's as silly as when the bammers claimed their football program would be back. What fools as we all knew the Bryant days of dynasty were done. Idiots!

He of course means he referred his post to you and I shouldn't have responded. While that's certainly not the way internet boards operate as each post can be discussed and opinions  submitted, this is a UT board that probably has no room for my Crimson-laced opinions.

It's difficult at times to not post what I think, but that's not how this board is setup. Therefore, I will refrain from any posts in the future and take a read-only option with the board. I've thought in the past this is probably the action I should take and this is a good opportunity to do so. Know there is no hard feelings at all on my part toward any individual here.

I think coming from the chancellor this is just a fund-raising activity and no big deal.  If Butch hadn't made his stupid comment last fall, this would have passed without so much as a comment from the media or twitterverse. I've seen countless examples of the "win another championship" marketing tag line in the past.  To name just one, a blood donation drive I participated in while at UT way back in 1989.   :biggrin:

Nothing to get excited about IMO.

Yup.  I still say this is not a controversy without what Butch said last fall.
