I said this round as in the latest. I guess you could go back to the gt to say the acc started it. But if you’re actually talking significance of where we are today 100 percent the sec started it. The addition of the conference championship game was a game changer


I would say when most fans talk about conference expansion they think of 1992 for the SEC. That's why I made it clear that Penn State was a huge get for the B1G in 1990. They were a big Independent brand coming off 2 recent National Championships. Arkansas and South Carolina didn't have that status. And still don't.

It's great you have the original 10 but this BS about Arkansas especially but SC as well is really getting old. I get it, if someone moves to a new place, they shouldn't complain about its rules and regs but we're not talking about that as we have abided through shite refereeing and crap scheduling (COVID) for ever and got screwed out of DMac getting the Heisman though he won EVERY other non QB award his junior year. Another SEC player won. The same player's team absolutely was allowed to win their game against us during his reign. We are the two schools that allowed for the SEC to have the first Conference championship games and you see how those have turned out. We've had some shite football for awhile now but have been to three SEC championship games while some of the old guard have NEVER made it.

Maybe the SEC also saw that we were close to winning a natty in basketball and that we had more tradition than any other of the original schools than Kentucky and maybe we won a natty right after joining and were runners up what next year.

How about Track and field where we've absolutely dominated the original 10 from start to finish since we've been in the conference. Heck we have more conference championships and triple crowns just in track and field than any many of y'all have had in all sports combined.

Baseball, yea we screwed ourselves out of a natty but we're almost always in the top 10, won the SEC several times and been to the CWS more than most.

I'll not get into SC but their baseball team has at least one or more nattys and their women's basketball program is always at the top.

So all of you bastards who think we don't fit, that's fine but it is completely unjustified. The SEC is fortunate to have us, like it or not and Arkansas is as Southern as all the rest.
