the old guys taught me that if your team could, not only survive, but come out ahead of/beat down a "southern schedule," that whether or not anyone else in the nation would admit it...you would earn respect...the "southern schools"...sec...have a mystic about them...no one else in the nation has the number of intense rivalries that we have...the "iron bowl" is consistantly brought up as one of the premier rivalries of all times..tennessee/alabama is usually also mentioned..

think how much more it would mean if both teams went into it undefeated..

Exactly. These people are too stupid to understand that if you win in a GARBAGE conference NO ONE cares...see Ohio State. When you win in a TOUGH conference...it actually MATTERS.


Wake up fools!


There is a hierarchy within the realm of football with your team at the pinnacle and the conference above all others. Playing in the SEC prepares you for big games due to the high level of competition. You people are saying you want a panzy conference of nobodies and losers for Bama to pound, that is DUMB and unrealistic.
