Decade is a category of a 10 year period you idiot.
This decade is the 10's, for example we are currently in and before that was 00's and so forth. No one uses your scale of 02'-11' is a decade
2002 through 2011 is a decade. Any ten years is. The "last decade" generally refers to 10 years back from the present. If you want to refer to the decade in which all the years share the same number in the tens position (e.g. 2000 through 2009), you usually refer to that multiple of 10 (e.g. the 00s), not the "last decade".

You posted 02'-11' as a decade. That is not COMMON use of a decade
Yes, it is. It refers to 10 years, which is a decade. It's very common to refer to 10 year periods as decades, even if they don't start with a year ending in "0".

Do people just bust into threads without reading it first?
It's obvious everyone here knows what a decade is but he's completely wrong on common usage especially related to sports decades.
What decade did the Arkansas team play in from 02'-11' considering what's over a span of 2 decades associated with the dictionary. That team can't be in the 00's and 10's decades so what the hell is that decade called? The 02'-11' decade?
Come on you aren't going to drink beer and say remember the 02'-11's decade that was a great decade, ha.
Real conversation... "Remember the 90's?" "Yeah.. Damn we sucked in that decade minus one good year 1998."

Stop picking out any 10 year period that fits your agenda. Use the common system as the dictionary states with ZERO
The dictionary also says a 10-year period, regardless of the starting year (3 decades from 1776-1806). 2002 through 2011 is a decade. If you started doing something on March 6, 2002, then today you have been doing it for a decade.

It's called the decade from 2002 through 2011. Or, in football terms, the last decade.

You go ahead and have a football conversation while talk about the "2002-2011 decade" while everyone else will talk about 20's 30's, 40's etcetera when related to football teams.

The 2011 Arkansas team played in the following decades:
2002-2011
2003-2012
2004-2013
2005-2014
2006-2015
2007-2016
2008-2017
2009-2018
2010-2019 (a.k.a. the '10s)
2011-2020 (a.k.a. the 202nd decade since the birth of Christ)
It also played in an infinite number of other decades, if you want to break it down to units smaller than years. You could go down to billionths of billionths of a second to define the starting point of each decade and there would be billions of billions of them.
If I tell you today that I've been at my job for a decade, would you think I started in 2000, 2002 or 2010?

Find me someone who uses those decades when related to football decades verses the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's.. rinse and repeat.

Mizzou has 3 10 win seasons in the last 5 seasons.
October 23, 2010
When an unbeaten Mizzou hosted #3 Oklahoma. It was a very hyped game and GameDay was on campus for the first time ever.
I'm not crazy about Mizzou coming into the SEC. I'm not sure they are as good or natural a fit as a school like Florida State, Clemson or Georgia Tech would be. A&M makes sense but Mizzou not as much.
But the OP is ridiculous. West Virginia brings even less to the table. Fail.

Why does Texas A&M makes sense over Mizzou when Mizzou is closer to all SEC campuses? Which makes them geographically closer.

You all do know that the University of West Virginia located in Morgantown is in the north an hours drive west/southwest of Pittsburgh ?

Anybody who, at the starting or ending point of one of those decades, wanted to talk about the next decade or the last decade, would talk about one of those 10-year periods. If they wanted to talk about the '10s, they'd talk about 2010 through 2011. If they wanted to talk about the '00s, they'd talk about 2000 through 2009.
The "last decade" universally means the ten years going back from the present, which at this point, in football seasons, is 2002 through 2011. 2000 through 2009 is the '00s, not the "last decade". If I said LSU was going to dominate Arkansas for the next decade, would you think I meant starting in 2020?

Why do so many Arky fans insist on being moronic trolls? Do they really have nothing better to do than act like arse hats on the internet?

You're fighting a losing battle. His usage was atypical, but acceptable. I don't even know why you're persisting.
