How many other conference teams do you see rooting for their rivals vs OOC opponents? I see a lot of dawg fans rooting for UT, AU, UF, etc. that doesn't happen in a regular conference.



It all dates back to when the SEC (and the entire South for that matter) was seen as second or third rate. The rest of the country looked down on all things Southern, particularly the SEC. Of course that still holds true today to be honest.

As a result the conference tends to have a "Me against my brother. Me and my brother against my cousin. Me, my brother and my cousin against the world." mentality.

We all want to be the successful team, but in a pinch we will settle for someone else in the conference putting in the boots. We fight and fuss among ourselves but tend to close ranks and destroy any outsider that sticks his noise in our business.

The unofficial motto and logo for the conference is a middle finger and a hearty "Frick y'all".
