It's hard to believe...

Auburn hasn't won in Baton Rouge since 1999

Georgia hasn't played for a natty since 1982

It's been 25 years since Arkansas and South Carolina joined the SEC.

Texas A&M had its first ever freshman rush for 1000+ in 2016 after 120 years of football

Saban is the dean of SEC coaches and has been at Bama for over a decade

Ole Miss has never made it to the SECCG

It's been almost 20 years since UT won the natty

SC had its first bowl victory ever in '94 over WVU, 102 years after they started playing football

The amount of time it's been since someone outside the big 6 has won the SEC.

It's been almost 20 years since they won the conference.

Tennessee had 5 losing seasons in 6 years between '08 and '13 and didn't win more than 7 games for 7 consecutive years. Never would have believed that if I had been told so any time in the 80s or 90s.

South Carolina hasn't beaten Auburn in football since 1933. It's been 84 years.



Mississippi State has never won a team National Championship in any sport ever.

It isn't really that hard to believe Ole Miss hasn't made it to the SEC championship game considering they hadn't won an SEC championship in the previous 29 years before the championship game was started

LSU has not had an undefeated season since 1958. Florida has never had an undefeated season.

ETA Florida had a 5-0-1 season a long time ago so Florida has never had a perfect record

Alabama does not have a losing record to any team they have played more than 10 times.

SC is 6-2 vs Michigan, Ohio St, Texas, and So Cal combined.

But we have losing records vs the likes of Duke and Indiana.

Also, that includes a 1-1 record vs So Cal from games in the 80s. Those are the only 2 games we've ever played against current PAC-12 teams.

ETA: when the baseball team went to A&M a couple years ago was the first time our baseball team had ever played a game in the state of TX.

Yep ... we've now been in the SEC longer than we were in the original Southern Conference, longer than we were in the ACC as a charter member and longer than we were an Independent while waiting on the SEC to see the light.

How long was Arkansas in the SWC? Serious question.

Which was before any of the current recruits/prospects were born. And since then SC has one of the best winning Bowl records against some of the top competition in the country. We've represented the SEC very well against the likes of Michigan, Ohio State, Nebraska, excetera, excetera, excetera. We've taken down some of the winningest programs in NCAA history in the postseason ... So I get your troll attempt but honestly Gamecock fans have nothing to be ashamed of in that regard.

How long has it been since a team out side of the state of Alabama won the SEC?

Nor LSU-Florida...none of the permanent crossovers have ever had a rematch in the SECCG

I thought about that one too. It's such a great rivalry.
