Sure, but maybe we would have been more than we are by 2005. Or 2015.

"Big 6" and the monopoly that we have had for the past 120 years over this conference?

It is quite impressive. And, I don't really see anyone who can threaten any of these members in the forseeable future.


It is a bit of a cunnundrum.

We turned some of y'all in for blatant cheating, payoffs, cover-ups, etc., and that didn't work.

We just plain beat some of y'all on a regular basis ... and that doesn't seem to work.

I dunno, I just think it is a moniker that y'all will own for eternity - regardless. It's just another thing that will stick with y'all like facists, nazis, gays, fricktards, etc., sticks with those particular groups.

Just suck it up and wear it with pride - that's all I know to tell ya. It is what it is.

The 2 new schools have the best chance in my opinion. A&M has the talent and Missouri is playing in a down east division right now .

I would say Florida joined before LSU. LSU was good in the old days, but really just won it one time in the 80's. Then really stunk it up in the 90's. LSU didnt get back in until Saban.

We're just happy to be here Y'all. If we have some success it'll be great and we thank you for allowing us to merge our brand in the state with the national recognition of the conference.

The University of Missouri doesnt recognize "the Big 6" so we really have no opinions on it in general. Has no bearing on Mizzou or Texas A&M for the matter.



All I know is that in our division we are 3-0, 1-2, 2-1 (6-3 total)against East Division "big 6" types in 3 years we have been SEC with two division titles to only one by the 3 SEC East"big 6" combined...

Take away Auburn football from your life and you've got nothing.

Does the truth hurt?

I'm pretty sure that when Mizzou joined the conference that they also formally signed off on recognizing the Big Six.

Are you sure? I think it was an article in the conference membership paperwork somewhere.

I guess that they just joined the conference without reading all of the fine print and clauses in the conference membership contract.
