Didn't realize the old Southwestern conference was just a bunch of Texas schools and Arkansas
OU and OSU were charter members of the Southwest Conference but left very early on (and were replaced essentially with TCU and SMU).
LSU, Tulane, Ole Miss and Mississippi State were also originally at or invited to the initial meetings but those schools stayed in the SIAA.

That's pretty cool. Sewanee still in the SEC. Look at all of the teams up on the East Coast from NYC to Boston

Nickname - U. Mississippi is listed as "Ole Miss" not the Rebels.
Originally they were The Flood to go with Tulane's Green Wave and Alabama's Crimson Tide?
Not sure when tat changed.

Interesting. It has our nickname as "ole Miss" instead of "Rebels".

We were the Flood from 1929 to 1935. We became the Rebels in 1936.
