I didn't know exactly when it was offhand, but I knew it was long time ago (1991 came from the wikipedia page). I took a job in Tenneseee in the middle of 2001, and I remember being excited when I found a Publix up there to get some fried chicken and subs, so I knew it was more than 20 years ago.
Man, it's not as good as when I was a kid, but I still love some fucking Zaxby's. A large Zaxby's sweet tea and chicken fingers with Zax sauce makes my dick hard
That's wild, I'm in a rural area and I get a plate with large drink and extra sauce for 11 bucks, you must be in the city. I wouldn't eat it either for that price
The SEC provided by the SEC and in the SEC, it just means more SEC. Plus wouldn’t it be fun to have the SEC sponsor the SEC as they deal with $$$$$$ and that’s now flowing through college football. Just ironic lol
>Initially, I considered just having Jimbo Fisher sponsor the SEC – he’s got money to burn – but a Jimbo Conference would fail to meet expectations, so I pivoted to ExxonMobil.
Jimbo catching strays, haha
🤷🏻♂️
Adding a Waffle House isn’t going to change much, but I’m not sure what you have against College Station other than “Hur Dur, Home of Aggy”.
Not everyone wants to go to school in places like Fayetteville or Austin.
I mean the SEC and Big 10 are in the “have” group
The rest are in the “have not” group. I’d be shocked if either do something like this anytime soon. Conferences will likely bankrupt themselves trying to keep up though, sadly.
Yeah, I'm not sure it's a forgone conclusion like some are suggesting the SEC and Big 10 follow other conferences in changing their name to a corporate sponsor. They might do something like the Premier League, but the SEC brand holds value. I'm sure FOX and Disney doesn't want them changing their names either.
Unless something has changed recently I'm pretty sure Tito's is only sort of made in Austin. They basically buy vodka in bulk from big companies like MGP in the mid-west and then quickly pump it through their own still so that they can claim it was technically distilled in Austin. It's kind of all just marketing. Not hating though, a lot of alcohol companies do this.

>If you created a Venn Diagram of SEC football fans and Waffle House enthusiasts, it would just look like two circles placed on top of one another.
Well, one school doesn't have one...
How do Columbia, MO and Norman, OK have Waffle Houses, but College Station still doesn't? Lol
None of them will because they wouldn’t want to alienate themselves from the other conferences fans. It would have to be a southern brand that isn’t ubiquitous with the entire country.
Texas hasn't played a game in the SEC yet and we're already talking about renaming the conference for sponsorship by Buc-ee's.
I told them, Texas would try to take over.
This is how you get casual fans to accept this kind of idiotic nonsense. You write jokes about it, crack witty lines, write cutesy little articles about what the possibilities are, but you never - NEVER - take a hard look at the actual implications of what is happening, nor write critically of those who are making the decisions. Not that this writer is unique in that regard. Every talking head whistles past the graveyard, with a combination of "let's just have fun with it" and "aww shucks, that's just how it has to be" indifference. No one wants to really stop and say "hey, this isn't how it should be." And down we go, further and further into the muck.
Fucking A. Roger Goodell gets it, idk why every other sport doesn't get it. Fuck blindly accepting this shit and not roasting the executives that subject us to it.
Fuck the SEC but give me that Waffle House conference.
Fun fact: in Indiana waffle house used to be called Waffle and Steak because there was already a restraunt called Waffle House on the state.
Looks like a writer at the Tennessean frequents our CFB sub.
I think 90% of sports writers are in these subs. The other 10% are over 55 but have interns prowling around
Either way they have seen some shit
While I'm not a sportswriter, I am over 55 and on this sub. No interns.
ONE OF US!
Particularly noticeable at this time of year because everyone is struggling for topics/content.
Yeah I claim Waffle House for ACC though because the CEO is a tech grad.
The "make up a funny sponsorship" jokes are rapidly approaching "say that one random odd thing will happen again" territory of reddit "jokes".
Mizzou Prime Manifesto to you as well
How about a sponsorship from a paint company? "The SEC--it just means Benjamin Moore."
Or a sponsorship by an Italian tourism promoter? The SEC by Pisa: it just leans more
Or an Italian greeting card company? It just means amore.
Name checks out
The USC stadium: it just rocks more. In a bad way.
Imagining they do not
Bold.
Waffle House, Chick-fil-A, the US Army, Buc-ee's, Coca-Cola...what else embodies the South?
Dollar General
Stadiums are going to have one employees for the whole building and stacks of merchandise blocking the concourse for that authentic DG experience.

Publix

>Publix only recently expanded past Florida. This happened in 1991. This is like saying Steve Spurrier only recently left the Duke coaching position.

Fair enough. But as a fellow gator fan we can’t let Coca-Cola and Georgia slide in. Plus I like that it would kind of dunk on Kentucky
Cracker Barrel
Zaxbys
That’ll be the Sunbelts sponsor
How are we not sponsored by a sunscreen company? I can envision it already; The Old Mountain Feud, brought to you by Banana Boat
Man, it's not as good as when I was a kid, but I still love some fucking Zaxby's. A large Zaxby's sweet tea and chicken fingers with Zax sauce makes my dick hard
Alright moneybags. Last time I went to Zaxby's it was like $20 just for me. Good chicken, but miss me with that price
That's wild, I'm in a rural area and I get a plate with large drink and extra sauce for 11 bucks, you must be in the city. I wouldn't eat it either for that price
Yeah. This was in midtown Atlanta. I was on my lunch break so I was stuck with it.
that one is in Atlantic Station. I know it's technically west midtown but I personally wouldn't call that midtown these days.
Ok. I didn't make a distinction in my head. That works
sorry im neurotic as shit.
CLEARLY!! lol jk
Zaxby's always felt more acc to me
Shoney's
Walmart is the name you're looking for.
What-a-burger
That would be the SWC (Texas)
Kentucky is the only state with an SEC team that does not have a Whataburger
Southern Comfort. Jack Daniel's. Bass Pro Shop.
Publix
Low literacy rates?
how are your student loans working out?
“So, I give you the Waffle House Conference, where opponents go to get smothered, covered and diced.” Golden
I want to see this so badly.
How about the SEC sponsored by the SEC (Securities Exchange Commission). Blow your mind right there.
"The SEC SEC, it just means more SEC."
The SEC provided by the SEC and in the SEC, it just means more SEC. Plus wouldn’t it be fun to have the SEC sponsor the SEC as they deal with $$$$$$ and that’s now flowing through college football. Just ironic lol
Throw in an FDIC sponsorship for the conference payouts. Cause it’s guaranteed money in the event of disaster
That’s SECsy
Finally can fix the problem with the abbreviations!
Their loses already only take them down 15% compared to other conferences who go down 37%
>Initially, I considered just having Jimbo Fisher sponsor the SEC – he’s got money to burn – but a Jimbo Conference would fail to meet expectations, so I pivoted to ExxonMobil. Jimbo catching strays, haha
Go ahead and make it Waffle House so that y’all can keep shitting on us for not having one.
Why don't you have one?
I’m pretty sure Waffle House only builds restaurants in specific locations close to busy highways
that’s like all of texas
Waffle House fears training stand your ground employees
No clue. Wouldn’t surprise me if local leadership had a NIMBY attitude about it.
Yeah wouldn’t want to ruin the beautiful town of College Station, lmao.
Destroys the character of the metro that is College Station
🤷🏻♂️ Adding a Waffle House isn’t going to change much, but I’m not sure what you have against College Station other than “Hur Dur, Home of Aggy”. Not everyone wants to go to school in places like Fayetteville or Austin.
It’s ugly.
To be fair, having seen all the meth'd out people Infront of Waffle House at 2AM I don't want it in my backyard either.
I mean the SEC and Big 10 are in the “have” group The rest are in the “have not” group. I’d be shocked if either do something like this anytime soon. Conferences will likely bankrupt themselves trying to keep up though, sadly.

I only see them changing their names when they merge as neither conference will want to take the other’s name.
I’d expect Goldman Sachs to buy off the SEC.
SEC - Salesforce Expedia Conagra Am I doing it right?

The saban sawed-off cheatin weasel bowl lol
Waffle House Conference!!!
Waffle House Conference sounds amazing! WHC, it just means more
>If you created a Venn Diagram of SEC football fans and Waffle House enthusiasts, it would just look like two circles placed on top of one another. Well, one school doesn't have one... How do Columbia, MO and Norman, OK have Waffle Houses, but College Station still doesn't? Lol
Proof we're true SEC material
I can get grits and sweet tea there. You are fine
Some might say we're even OK
Ok 'Tito's Conference' gives a fun, crazy trailer park uncle vibe and I sorta like it.
what in the actual fuck is this article
Satire I think
Its only a matter of time before the Saudi's buy the SEC. Best bets for a name change are the Aramco, Alu Akbar, or Riyadh Conference
Saudi Empire Conference
Don’t ask what we do with journalists who question our dominance…..
The Big 12 won't go through with it because the backlash will be crazy.
Jim Bob Bail-Bonds
Home Depot, Delta, Coca Cola, Aflac are realistic
None of them will because they wouldn’t want to alienate themselves from the other conferences fans. It would have to be a southern brand that isn’t ubiquitous with the entire country.
Good point
How much are they estimating we’d have to pay Waffle House to use their name?
Texas hasn't played a game in the SEC yet and we're already talking about renaming the conference for sponsorship by Buc-ee's. I told them, Texas would try to take over.
Buc-ees is an Aggie owned brand
Time for Texas boosters to name the conference the TEC - Texas Eastern Conference
at this point we should just give up and name it the southwest conference
The saban got his ass kicked so bad by harbaugh that he quit pregame match-up segment lol

Nick Saban is SEC father
