After Auburn got screwed in 2004 in favor of worthless Oklahoma, most of the SEC was pissed. Especially after OU got waxed like a pack of bitches.

2006 comes along and the media is again calling for a match up that excludes the SEC champs. The leagues fans start to grumble and anger starts to build. Well, somehow common sense reigns and Florida is voted into the BCS Championship. For the next month ESPN and other slavish idiots in sports media basically fellate Ohio St. Meanwhile the SEC fans as a whole get angrier. People on local and regional radio shows fuss for 5 weeks. Florida fans fuss as well. Lo and Behold the underdog obliterates the media favorites and in a swell of not only school pride, but Southern, SEC pride they begin the chant.

I'm aware that at various times in the past it's been said, but that was the first time "SEC! SEC! SEC!" was understood on a national level of consciousness to mean...

"Screw you, you obtuse, self absorbed, narcissistic, Northeastern, Midwestern, West Coast douchebags! We are the superior league and it's no surprise to us. DEAL WITH IT!!!"


I remember it being done plenty before this, but the poster is correct that this was the first time the entire country noticed, and it caused a monumental shift in the national pecking order. Of course it also needed to be sustained on the biggest stages for it to become burned into the American concious as it totally has.
