re: SEC football programs that have never been to an SEC championship game.

Ole Miss and UK are very similar. Both have had relatively brief periods of relevance, OM under Vaught and UK under Bryant. Otherwise, not much to pound their chests over. Problem is that UK recogognizes that fact and OM doesn't.

Ole Myth proves their impotence by the way they continue to hang on to every moment of relanvance in their history, for example, their 2014 win over Alabama, as evidenced every day on this forum. They'll be crowing to their grand kids that they saw OM actually beat Alabama. They won't mention that it was a meaningless win as Bama went on to win the SEC or that they ended the season by being humiliated by TCU.
