4 and only 4 teams decided to play football in '43, no time for the war effort and stuff.

Hint: 2 of them are Georgia Tech and Tulane, the other 2 are still in the SEC.

Athens is filled to the brim with soy, and LSU fans are essentially west coast libs with all their complaining and protesting.

As opposed to Tennessee, who’s head coach was fightin Japs and Nazis, and Aggie, who sent soldiers over by the boatload

Our coach was a wee bit busy starting in 1941.

Can you imagine getting into a war so big today that they cancelled most of the SEC season because all young men of college age were expected to join the military? It would be surreal.

The salt from the OP's tears is hilarious. Don't get mad cause your team has become a dumpster fire. The Birmingham bowl still wants your team.

SC was decidedly not patriotic. Not only did we play in 1943 (going 5-2) but we played two military teams. We lost to Fort Benning but beat the Charleston Coast Guard.
