re: I Think I Finally Figured Out Why The SEC Just Feels Different

Same, the fan bases here are much tamer toward fans of other schools overall

Shocked we didn't get a "because it means more reference" any sooner than this...

Were you guys just beaten and battered all the time? I can't imagine being as excited as y'all seem to be about being in a conference. I wouldn't blink twice if we switched to another.

I honestly don't feel the same level of hate towards other SEC teams

Give it time and a couple of decades of dealing with Tennessee. You'll come around.

What a cuck.

Big 12 Rivalries are filled with hatred for one another. I honestly don't feel the same level of hate towards other SEC teams that I felt towards Baylor, Texas, Texas Tech, OSU, and OU growing up in College Station. And I think I've finally realized why

It's because A&M is new in the conference.

Pay attention to the Auburn/Bama and Florida/Georgia. Each school hates each other's guts!!!

You respect LSU?

Yes. LSU is a very respectable program. Only a fool would argue otherwise.

Familiarity breeds contempt.

I think we're missing out on some hate in the Aggie/Arkansas thing by having the game in DFW. Unless you pay out the nose for that game (and for most Arkansas fans, the travel and hotel) we never interact.

There will be hatred among your fans young enough to be in college in the SEC. It's where mine developed. The oldest old fans still don't get it.

I actually have respect for nearly every school in this conference. Which is why I'll root for the SEC in bowl games. Back in the Big 12, I would take great pleasure in seeing our rivals lose to OOC opponents. Not so much here. The grass is much greener on so many different levels.

I hardly route for any SEC teams out of conference anymore.

frick State.
frick LSU
frick Bama
frick Auburn
frick Tennessee

I mean seriously frick each of those schools. I’ve been off the SEC bandwagon for about 3-4 years now. I fully blame this site lol.

I only do the SEC thing now in a group chat I’m in with a bunch of B1G fans just to get their panties in a wad.

1. I am an LSU grad and an LSU fan. I am not and have never been, an SEC fan. I may, on occasion, pull for SEC teams (Miss State and Auburn sometimes because I respect their longtime fans), but I generally do not in football.

2. I will be pulling hard for Clemson and Oklahoma. Why would I, as an LSU fan, want UGA or bama to be able to tout a 2017 NC to recruits LSU might be trying to recruit?

3. I really do not like Bama, Tenn, UGA and UF. I am amused at Arkansas, Ole Miss, and A&M fans because they seem to really not like LSU the many times I have attended LSU football games in those places.

“What's crazy is how places like ND, Michigan, Ohio State, USC, Texas are all Blue Bloods and traditional powers and obviously hyped up by the media, but when you go to a game there it's pretty meh compared to your typical SEC Saturday”

Be honest, how many of those blue bloods have u tripped to for a game?

If any, then you aren’t doing it right.
