Texas & Aggies wanted in. The Texas legislature and Ann Richards derailed it.

Those who are new to the conference, may not truly understand its history.

Here is how times Tennessee has played Georgia Tech, compared to the rest of the current SEC members.

Kentucky - 88
Alabama - 87
Vanderbilt - 86
Ole Miss - 56
Auburn - 52
Florida - 45
Georgia Tech - 44
Georgia - 39
Mississippi State - 34
LSU - 31
USCe - 29
Arkansas - 16
MIZZOU - 9
aTm - 2


The fact that Bobby Dodd (a UT graduate) took Georgia Tech out of the SEC because he was sick of Bear Bryant's cheating, doesn't dissuade UT from wanting Georgia Tech back. The fact that it would piss off UGA would only icing on the cake.

Read up on the conference, newbie.

SC and Arkansas have both been fine additions based on results.

It is great that Dodd and those smart folks in Atlanta took a hike from the SEC. It has worked out for them so very well.
