I've seen the mark of the modern era determined by things such as the use of full facemasks (1951) and the coaches poll, which was 1950.

I'm in full support of Bella's statement here... she's smart.

Sorry, but the modern era of SEC football has to be an era that included black athletes. When 80% of the starters for SEC football programs in 2011 were black, then the acceptance of black players in SEC schools is the beginning of the "modern era". Any other definition is totally and completely worthless.

Bama's first black player played in 1971. For, LSU it was 1972. That is the beginning of the modern era of SEC football.

Was there really much of a difference in game in say the 30' the 50's and the 70's, by and large?
