When did Auburn, Florida, had, Georgiabecome traditional football powers? Take Alabama out of the SEC and there's little tradition. What a fucking joke.

Auburn had Bo Jackson and Cam Newton, won 1 national title. Is that tradition? Georgia had Herschel Walker and a title in 1980. Tradition? LSU had a decent run since 2000. Is that tradition? Florida? Tim Renowned! Take him out and Spurriers little run and Florida has zero fucking tradition. l

Fuck the SEC, and the ballicking media who bows down to that johnny-come-lately conference (relatively speaking for you SEC homers)

    Huh?

    När gjorde Auburn, Florida, hade, Georgia become traditionella fotboll krafter? Ta Alabama ur SEC och det finns lite tradition. Vilket jävla skämt.

    Auburn hade Bo Jackson och Cam Newton, vann en nationell titel. Är det tradition? Georgien hade Herschel Walker och en titel 1980. Tradition? LSU hade en anständig springa sedan 2000. Är det tradition? Florida? Tim Känd! Ta ut honom och Spurriers lite kör och Florida har noll jävla tradition. l

    Skit SEC, och ballicking media vem bågar ned till att Johnny-come-nyligen konferensen (relativt sett för dig SEC homers)

    Let us hope that there's more to football tradition than SEC bashing on a Hardcore Husky forum.

    West Coast bias, big time. People in the Eastern half of the country think the PAC-12 is a pussy conference except for U$C. Extremist on both sides have their heads inserted.

    Ask Don James about the SEC. He got his ass kicked in the 80s when he played them. They've been good for a few decades.

    Easy to win when you play the biggest loser in the Sugar Bowl or Ohio State in the NCG.

    Before 2006, they didn't stand out any more than other leagues. Bammer won a title in the early 90s, Tennessee did in the late 90s, Jawja got lucky in the early 80s...Florida wasn't anything before Spurrier got there about 1990. Now they get favored in all the pre-season polls (6-8 teams are usually in the top 25), play pussy schedules with seven or eight home games, and rarely leave the south for OOC games. It's set up perfectly for them.

    Is it a very solid league that's better than the Big Least and ACC? Sure, but last yr., Ohio State went undefeated and the media acted like New Mexico State went undefeated. Bammer has a loss and they automatically deserved the title. LSU had two losses a few years ago and they won it. It's total horseshit.

    Some fact checking about SEC titles is in order. Alabama had a couple championships in the 70s. Mississippi and AL had titles in the 60s. The 80s were slim with one championship. The conference has been successful for awhile.

    Schedule manipulation by the SEC is a legit accusation, but that's not uncommon. How do you get softer than the yuck schedule? They play one good team....Stanford. That's it. The rest are high school teams or teams that will finish 40th in the country like the Dawgs.

    Tradition is more than titles, it's rich history, intense rivalries and fanatical fans. If you've ever been to SEC games, you'd understand this one. Contrast that with Washington in the 21st century....it's not uncommon for people get on you when stand up at games.
