The truth of the matter is that very few people here would have gone to school at their SEC Alma Mater if they didn't have a football team to root for.


That seems utterly insane.

Perfectly logical. You think people around here chose to go to school at MSU, Ole Miss, Auburn, Alabama, South Carolina, and LSU because of their academic rankings? Perhaps in some cases where the school has a specialty... But I couldn't see many people beating down the doors to attend those universities if they didn't field a popular football team within those states.

Deep Southern folks have vastly different standards and priorities.
