I thought Jackie fired both of his coordinators after the 1995 season to keep his job. He brought in Joe Lee Dunn and Lynn Amadee. Hard to imagine Amadee was an upgrade to Bruce Arians, but things did start to turn around in 1996....

That's probably right and it was Amadee pressured to leave. In comes ol Sparky Woods.

In 1892, UGA played it's second football game ever against the Auburn Tigers. That game is widely considered to be the birthdate of College football in the south.

With that said, you're welcome.

LSU's first President was the future Union General William Tecumseh Sherman.

He loved Georgia tenderly.

You misspelled "we are winning this season"... Yall losing a lot is what makes this year hard to fathom. Not the other way around.

Wow. I would've guessed I saw 3-5 in my student years in the late 2000's

LSU played every National Champion not named "LSU" from 2006-2012. We played at least one participant in the game every year from 2006-2013.

We have the worst overall defense in the conference and the best redzone defense in the entire world.

Tennessee is the last back-to-back SEC Champion, 1997 (Auburn)- 98 (Mississippi State). UT has also never won a Heistman trophy in spite of being an all-time Top 10 program, with corresponding talent.

83% of butch Jones' losses at Tennessee have been to Top 20 teams.

75% have been against top 10 teams

These stats may or may not have been calculated before the bama game
