...and it's not just because we play better football. We are a just different.

So last night after the SECCG. I decided to watch Sparty vs O$U. During their tropy presentation the commish comes out gives his spiel about the conference and then just like Slive did to celebrate Mizzou's accomplishment/effort asked for a round of applause for OSU. The SEC crowd gave an enormous roar of approval for Mizzou but what happened at the Big 10 presentation told me everything: instead of giving OSU a round of applause or a golf-clap they booed and booed loud and long enough to where it embarrassed their commish who dropped his head and said 'come on' to get the booing to stop.

If they hate each other so much they can't even win with a modicum of class no wonder they hate us too.

Hell it explains why they don't understand why ~90 percent of us will be cheering for Aubie and for any and all SEC team playing in a bowl. We have a brotherhood/sisterhood they have a collection of mercenaries out for themselves.

IOW, It's time to use it against them. Let the chants of SEC! SEC! SEC! begin.

I hate to tell you, Vol, but there is no way 90% of the conference will be cheering for AU.

Only bitter Georgia fans and LSU fans with Bama envy won't.

I just want a good game

I like Jimbo for his time at LSU but I really appreciate what Gus has done at Auburn. Whoever wins deserves it ultimately. It would have been fun to see Baylor and MSU included this year as well but I think the top two teams are in and that's good enough with the system we have atm.

Well said. I won't be cheering for Auburn for obvious reasons but I hope it's a well played game and not some slopfest. I will however be cheering for the Vols next year for the first time because yall are heading to Norman. I will never cheer for Big Game Bob and smug arse.

You need better friends! I think 90% is conservative.

You know, not to get all non-ranty but I cant help but feel the difference. Our program was hated in the Big 12 universally. We were hated for having the nerve to stand up to the inequality led by Texas. The other schools hated us because we were "rocking the boat" when we decided to feel out our options when it came to conference affiliation. The power schools, OU/Texas, despised Mizzou because we stood up for our selves in direct conflict to their desires for the conference. Its saying something when 4 land grant, AAU institutions walk away from your organization in a couple of years.

I really feel great about this move to the SEC. I understand that some of the old school SEC fans may never accept us but many have been welcoming and there is a sense of respect,class and equality shared between the great institutions of the SEC as well as the fans. Thanks for having us. We are "home" now. This is home and I couldnt imagine it any other way.

Thanks.

It's not as painful as you might think. I've had to cheer for y'all a few times and first its like you've defiled a church but then lightning doesn't strike you down so you know the football gods understand that every now and then you gotta cheer for your rival for one reason or another.
