Favorite iteration of the SEC

[GetYouSomeofThat]

What is your favorite iteration of the SEC. Is it the current alignment or the future 16 team league. Are you more a traditionalist like I am and wish it could go back to the late 80's, early 90's line up. Do you have your own idea for other schools such as Clemson or VA Tech to join the conference? Please discuss.

I voted for the 10 but only because thats what i started my fanfom knowing.

Guess I'm just old school. SOUTH EAST means South East in the USA. But it is what it is, we just gotta go win em all !! GBO

 

[allvols4life]

Ditch Mizzou and aTm... add NC, NC State, Clemson and FSU

 

[NighthawkVol]

You failed to mention that Ga Tech and Tulane were once in the SEC conference.

So was Sewanee, but none of them were part of the 10-team iteration, which was the topic of my post.

Yep. East of the Mississippi River AND (not or) south of the Mason And Dixon line. If you dont fall within those parameters, you aint Southeast.

Will let you know as soon as I look up the word "iteration"

Technically, the USGS designated geographic center of the continental US is Agra, Kansas, so all the current SEC members plus future members Oklahoma and Texas are in the southeastern quadrant of the lower 48.

I chose the 12 team with USC and Arky, but I am not opposed to a 16 team conference. The 16 teams just need to be east of the Miss river and south of the Mason/ Dixon to still be called the Southeastern Conference in my humble opinion.

I've always contended that to be in the SEC, the school's location should have been seceded from the US at some point. So I would send Missouri packing and install WVU in their slot (an actual eastern team).

Well I said I was old school!! Western Kansas is out west to me .

I will trade Missouri for West Virginia, and throw in Vanderbilt for boot. Then we can sign Florida St or Clemson to make it 16 and give the double bird to the big how ever many that doesn’t match their actual name.

Moving to Ohio from Tennessee, I assumed I was living in the north.
Nope, apparently it’s the Midwest. Makes no sense.

I miss Sewanee. What a ball club they had that one year. Those were the days, man.

1899… greatest college football team ever

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

The 10 team pre 1992.

Why Davy and Colonel Reb sitting like ladies?

Why Davy and Colonel Reb sitting like ladies?

Because they felt uncomfortable when Mr. Commodore started shining his flashlight on their privates.

 

[VOLfrombama]

SInce OK and Tejas haven't actually joined yet, how do we actually know what that SEC is like? Or are we just yelling at the clouds again ala Abe Simpson?

LOL the Commodore has always been a creeper

 

[anbailey76]

At times, I still feel like Arkansas and SC are "new" teams. I'll be honest, Texas A&M and Mizzou will never feel like real SEC teams to me.

So no LSU? And WVU and Maryland are now options.

Baton Rouge is east of the Mississippi River.

Well, the current iteration has very little to do with the Southeastern United States. A sports conference that includes any school west of the Mississippi or north of the Mason-Dixon Line has no business calling itself Southeastern anything.

LSU JUST makes the cut! The campus is spitting distance to the east from the Mississippi River.

Also WVU in the SEC makes a hell of a lot more sense to me than Mizzou and Texas A&M. Maryland less so but if theyre in the region, theyre in the region.

WV seceded from VA because they wanted to stay Yankee. So boot them and add a VA team - Tech maybe. The only reason to possibly take UVA is to get the DC television crowd.

 

[greenbacknative]

They have played 3 times in the Cotton Bowl.

Unfortunately, it was in the era of the triple option and James street and the Longhorns ran roughshod over us.
