The SW conference (pre 1996) was pretty awesome back in the day. The SEC had an overall record of (SEC vs. SWC): 197-141-17. LSU, due to our proximity, played those schools more frequently than those of you to the east. LSU won the vast majority of those games . Partly due to abusing flamboyant step-son Aggie for decades.
LSU vs SWC:
94 - 48 -11
65.0 % winning percentage
How did your team do in these old school games?

A&M beat lsu like a drum in the 90’s causing them to quit the series and run back to the swamp with tail between their legs
Just brutal

Aggie in a nutshell. Cherry picking the anomaly literal worst five year period in LSU history to crow about. And discarding the other century of football. And discarding the *1-8 record trend since then. Not to mention discarding the most recent 50-7 (169 total yards lol). That's why we are LSU Daddy and you are a Texas-Longhorn-ultra-lite-substitute-cfb-afterthought that hasn't won a championship since FDR had us mired in the Great Depression.

How was it awesome? It was even more of a joke than the current Big 12. It was as if you took CUSA and added Texas, Texas A&M and Arkansas to it.
Houston
Texas Tech
TCU
SMU
Rice
Baylor
Texas
Texas A&M
Arkansas (left after 1991 season)
Awful. It's why Texas still has no idea how to be a true partner in a real conference. Their entire identity was formed by being the big fish in a small pond.

So Bama must have dominated them, right ? Why don’t you tell us how Alabama did against the “ joke “ conference ? We will wait .

Keep in mind those teams were a lot better back then than they are now.
AP finishes pre 96
SMU - 3 top 5, 6 top 10
Rice - 1 top 5, 4 top 10
Houston - 2 top 5, 5 top 10
Compare that to the bottom of the SEC
Ms State - 0 top 5, 1 top 10
Vanderbilt - 0 top 5, 0 top 10
Kentucky - 0 top 5, 2 top 10

It was great football to watch. 70s and 80s SWC definitely passed the eye test.

So LSU’s dominance of Arkansas and tamu even predates the formation of the Big12. WOW!

Lsu's winning % vs A&M was 55% with almost 70% of the games taking place in Louisiana. I would say we were pretty even when you factor that in.

How was this awesome?
Ole Miss
Miss State
Tulane
Ga Tech
Florida(pre 90's)
Vanderbilt
Kentucky
Ole Miss won the SEC title in 1962 by playing 6 league games. Eight teams in the league and won the SEC by only playing 6 games. What were those 6 games? Kentucky, Vandy, Tulane, Miss State, LSU, and Tennessee.

Holy frick. It is like you have access more information at your fingertips than at anytime in human history and you still posted like you have ADD and were having a seizure.
1. The SEC had 12 teams in 1962
2. You left out Ole Miss beating #4 LSU in Baton Rouge. That LSU team went on to finish 9-1-1 and beat SWC champ #4 Texas in the Cotton Bowl that season.
3. Ole Miss also beat #6 Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl that year.

You make as much sense as a football bat. I am sure your post sounded funny in your head until you actually typed it out and decided, frick it, I will post it anyway.

Which makes it look even worse. Six fricking league games out of 12 teams.

Not great. Our record against programs while they were SWC schools:
1-2 vs Baylor
0-2 vs Houston
1-1 vs Texas
1-2 vs Baylor
0-2 vs Houston
1-1 vs Texas

That’s really interesting. You should print that on commemorative stadium cups:
“We lost the majority of our games to LSU as SWC members, but if you factor in game location, we were ‘pretty even.’”

There were much more independent football teams at that time, plus the regional rivalries that were still valued a lot more than they are now.
The SWC played 6 conference games.
1962 AAWU (pre- PAC-6 name) champ USC only played 4 conference games.
1962 ACC champ Duke played 6 conference games.
1962 Big 8 Champ Oklahoma played everyone else in the conference, so 7 conference games.
1962 Big 10 champ Wisconsin played 7 conference games.
You're really showing your lack of understanding of CFB pre-ESPN.
Just looking at UGA's 1962 schedule, they played FSU, NC St., Clemson, and South Carolina.
Ole Miss' OOC games were Memphis St (still a rival), Houston, and UT-Chattanooga (homecoming I'd guess).
