Neither team?

Unlike Bama, UT and LSU, UF has not experience a prolonged down turn since expansion #1..

We have too many built in advantages to stay down for 8 years.

True, but you've had those advantages for 60 years. And that means we have to ignore the first 100 years of your football program, during which time only MSU was worse, as far as current SEC members go.

I think that's definitely true today but UT hasn't laid a goose egg since 1891 (our first season which was student coached and we only played 1 game). UF has also reached depths that UT has never experienced.

Going 0-10-1 in 1979 is pretty awful and yet y'all bounced back and eventually got to the point of being a powerhouse team.

8? How about 58? Like from 1933 to 1990? Has the state of Florida had warm weather, hot blondes, beautiful beaches, and an overabundance of football talent for only the last 20 years? All those decades that Florida couldn't win an SEC championship, were their instate rivals worth a shite? Hell no.

What SEC school as recently as 1988 had never won neither an SEC football championship nor an SEC basketball championship?
