Why did the SEC bring in bottom feeders in 1992? Not only bottom feeders, but bottom feeders that didn’t even add very many TV viewers. No one cared/cares about Upig football and only a handful more than that care about USCe.

And then compare it to the next two expansions where the SEC brought in substantial TV markets with A&M and Mizzou and now Texas and Oklahoma.


Were the original expansion teams brought in as whipping boys?


It certainly seems that way.

They tried to get FSU that year but Bowden turned them down.

I’m still a little shocked Arkansas left at the time with their rivalries in that conference

South Carolina was a no brainer as I believe they were independent at the time

Old school Southern Flagship Universities that have added mulitiple National Championships to the conference since joining.

OP .... why are your mother, sister and you bottom feeders? Or, errrrr, ummmmm, bottom lickers or whatever it is y'all call it? DNA? Fecal-freaking is a family tradition?

Lemme ask you, sample size .... what is SC's record vs Ohio State and Michigan since joining the SEC? We've represented the confetence when it counted assclown.

cajunbama figures that 2024 will be year he/she FINALLY sheds off the Ku Klux Klan baggage that most of the SECRANT and Tigerdroppings is aware of in his/her corner



gays like CB are taught by their leftist handlers to stay calm, but they can't.


They lash out and expose themselves every time

We weren’t too scared to join. Went to the SECCG 3 times and won a natty in basketball plus over more sec and natties in track than anyone. Beat your arse in football until Saban arrived. Your other sports are weak except recently in basketball which will change when your coach leaves.

Cajunbama is a long time fricktard troll. He/she definitely has identity issues Harry. His/her name, avatar and posting history are indicative of his/her bi-polar nature. He/she is an unhappy little bitch.

Getting out of from under Texas politics in the SWC was worth going to the SEC.

Arkansas wanted to join the Big 8 at one time.

When SMU got the death penalty, it was the end of the SWC. Arkansas always looked to get out of there, after that. SEC made tbe right decision bringing them in. Nobody heard of South Carolina before George Rogers won the heisman.

I can taste the salty tears ofthis response thread


What a loser. All the gumps kicking and screaming aint gonna stop their inevitable return to the 90s. Is Phyllis still alive? The melt will be fun to watch. Their money tree is drying up. Now that its legal to buy players they dont have the ability to compete. Their cheater advantages are gone. Now when they say everyone is doing it will have a ring of truth to it unlike before when everyone rolled their eyes. Saban was a fraude propped up by cheating alum

Arkansas and SCAR were obvious additions with the objective of adding 2 programs from the closest states in the footprint not already represented in SEC

The SEC was a toilet conference up until the late 2000s.

SEC hill people conveniently forget this, or started watching collegiate football in 2010.

TV mattered back then but not like now. Cable tv was just beginning. Arkansas was considered a top 20 program back then and the #2 or 3 SWC school. South Carolina wasn’t historically great but it was the flagship campus of a moderately sized, fast growing population right in the middle of the SEC footprint. And it has always had loyal, passionate fans. The main reason for expansion was the NCAA requirement to have 12 teams to play a conference title game. Texas, aTm, UNC, and FSU were not available.

I expect crass ignorance on the Rant, but this is just dumb.
