Which SEC team has the longest streak of being bad in either football, basketball or baseball?
The one that comes to mind is Auburn in basketball (doesn't seem like they've had a good team since the Chris Porter days). Who am I not thinking of?

OM has not won anything in football since the 60s.

Auburn Basketball was my gut reaction.
I am also a bit mystified that Auburn baseball cant compete on a more consistent level.
For Alabama...
- Bama has been bad at women's Basketball since a final four trip in 1994.
- Bama Women's soccer has never been able to break through to the upper echelon of the SEC. And Alabama is a decent soccer state.

Auburn has been really bad at basketball for some time, but we mixed in a few pretty good years (couple sweet 16s, #1 seed, reg season SEC title).
UGA is pretty close to us in being awful for a while, but they've had a few appearances and a fluke SEC title too.

South Carolina Basketball? When's the last time they went to the NCAA?

in 2009, Auburn just missed the tournament and was a number 1 seed and favorite to win the NIT
didn't win because we couldn't make a free throw in the quarterfinals
so I'd say that wasn't a bad season

Kentucky baseball has been pretty awful other than the years when Cohen was there.

It's obviously Vandy in football. They were bad for like 80 solid years

Is Alabama swimming & diving worth a damn?

AU Basketball sucks. It has for a long time. Mostly because we tolerate it as long as football and (to a lesser extent) baseball do ok. If Football is killing it, nobody at Auburn gives a frick about the rest.

A&M finished last place in their respective conference all but 3 years from 1987-2005

I'm not sure if "bad" is appropriate, but LSU men's basketball was nothing special between our first Final Four appearance in the early 1950s, until Pistol Pete came to Tigertown in the late 1960s - and Dale Brown right after that.
LSU baseball was never really a great program until Skip Bertman arrived in the mid 1980s.
LSU football only had one bad stretch between 1989 and 1994, but managed to win 27 games and 3 straight bowl games in 1995,96 and 97.
Prior to 1989, LSU was #12 all-time in number of NCAA victories, and 10th in bowl appearances (we are now 11th and 8th, respectively.)
