re: Conference Pride

For me, the S-E-C pride started with the 03 split title and Auburn 2004 BS. Then double down on that when ESPN ran with the narrative that UM-tOSU should play in a rematch instead of Florida. I enjoyed the nation getting arse rammed by the SEC during the title run because of this. It also helped that I dislike tOSU, Texas, Norte dame and Oregon.

The youngins won't remember it but there was a time that SEC was considered a step below the rest of the nation. It was to our advantage for the rest of the conference to look good.

2011 basically killed that for me.
