been a ton of backlash from the talking heads at ESPN radio. Lots of people saying this was a dumb move to bring these schools in

That's because ESPN owns the SEC and the Big 10 owns BTN. ESPN is spinning this to suit their marketing needs.

Personally I think ND makes a perfect fit for the SEC, gives the Baptists something to get worked up over. I can just hear the talk in Tuscaloosa.... "Next thing you know the Pope will have a winter home in the Keys and the Swiss Guards will have a Mardi Gras float..."

The largest denominations by number of adherents in 2000 were the Roman Catholic Church with 1,382,603; Southern Baptist Convention with 868,587; and the United Methodist Church with 160,153.[16]
Like other Southern states, the population of Louisiana is made up of numerous Protestant denominations, comprising 60% of the state's adult population. Protestants are concentrated in the northern and central parts of the state and in the northern tier of the Florida Parishes. Because of French and Spanish heritage, whose descendants are Cajun and French Creole, and later Irish, Italian, Portuguese and German immigrants, there is also a large Roman Catholic population, particularly in the southern part of the state.[17]
Since French Creoles were the first settlers, planters and leaders of the territory, they have traditionally been well represented in politics. For instance, most of the early governors were French Creole Catholics.[18] Although nowadays constituting only a plurality but not a majority of Louisiana's population, Catholics have continued to be influential in state politics. As of 2008 both Senators and the Governor were Catholic. The high proportion and influence of the Catholic population makes Louisiana distinct among Southern states.[19]
Current religious affiliations of the people of Louisiana:

Yes it is unique to the south to have that much Catholic influence....example would be the neighborhoods are "parishes" and Mardi Gras is a Catholic celebration of debautury right before Lent


So maybe LSU should get a seat at the table

nearly every single tradition in that religion is of pagan origins.

I know, but the pagan traditions integrated by slaves of African descent & the peoples of Central & South American really are a completely different kettle of fish.

I think ND is a dead end. Sure, Delaney may try and give those [censored]s one last offer they can't refuse, but I don't see them considering it for one second, especially after their return to glory season this year.

You think the blood was bad between the domers and the Big Ten before all this, what do you think it'll be like after the dust settles on the ACC's corpse....after Delaney looked at the domer's shiny new house and then promptly proceeded to burn the mother fucker to the ground.

ND would join the WAC for football before they'll join the Big Ten, which would be just fine by me. It's where they belong.

I'm really starting to like the idea of a future conference consisting of:

Wake Forest
Duke
Syracuse
Pitt
Boston College
Temple
U of Miami
U Conn
Notre Dame

my point exactly.
nothing civilized about NOLA on a typical night I the middle of the week.
let alone Mardi Gras or any other medium+ sized event in the city.

it's about the only thing NOLA does well.
host a party of any size.
lots of alcohol, nudity, public sex, drugs, prostitution, etc.
and that's without the built in excuse of Mardi Gras, jazz fest, Saints winning a Super Bowl, whatever.

I was thinking more along the lines of the bloods and crips from south central invading and shooting up the place, but yeah. We are definitely in agreement.

the Roman church.


You mean the Anglicans, Methodists and Lutherans don't celebrate Christmas or Easter....how bout the Baptists and all the other denominations that sprouted from the "Roman" church....What about the Eastern rite Catholics? Do they celebrate the Pascha (passover or Easter as english speaking countries call it)?


How bout Wake Forrest where do they end up?
