Here's a challenge for the new guys (Arkansas and Carolina):

Go to your school library and look up old newspaper articles on microfilm regarding the jump to the SEC (when you joined the SEC in 1990) and post some of them here. (You could take a picture of the screen or print out the article on paper and scan it.)

I'm curious to read about the reactions when it was announced (or discussed prior to the announcement).


ETA: this came about from a discussion on Expansion Chronology in 1990 in the Conference Expansion board.

You're young, you have no idea the hatred of that rivalry.

Texans now try to downplay it, but they are just idiots. They hated us as much as we hated them.

Ha, I bet you were shitting your pants, literally, when this went down.

Also, if you are going to fill your avatar picture and signature with women make them good looking without yellow teeth. Quality not quantity. However, we do need people to ride the fat bus in society therefore, Thank You!

You can't expect much else from a Probie kid who is new at life.

That video is funny. Funnier still considering 21 years later that they are still trying to figure out how to have a conference.
