Not since the 1999 South Carolina Gamecocks has a college football team with the SEC emblem on its chest gone winless in collegiate play. It was Lou Holtz's first season in Columbia and the Gamecocks were riding a 10-game losing streak. What followed was 11 more instances of hopeless futility:
Gamecock average attendance in 1999: 78,858 per game

As long as Kentucky plays ? The chances are a non-zero.

Damn Lou deserved his flowers for turning them around as quick as he did in that era. 21-game losing streak going into 2000 and only averaged 7 points a game in 1999.
No I don’t think that will ever be replicated again in todays era of SEC football

Vandy went winless in 2020. For a full season, they came dangerously close to going winless in 2021 (2-10, beating UConn by 2 and Colorado State by 3).
So yes, it's absolutely going to happen again. Probably sooner than later

LSU had 4 straight winless seasons recently since none of them count our vacated SEC title.

but what the frick is North Alabama?
It’s my alma mater.
They won three DII national championships in a row in the mid 90s, still the only DII team to ever do so and going 41-1 during that stretch. They began the move up to DI FCS about 8-10 years ago.
Former Auburn coach Terry Bowden, son of Bobby, led them to 11-2 record in 2009.
North Alabama also had the distinction of being the only college with a live lion mascot on campus since 1973. You could often hear them roaring at all hours. The latest ones were Una, who died in 2020, and her brother Leo III, who died in 2024. I’m not sure if they plan on replacing them.
I’m sure few of you will care but it’s an interesting story if you like animals:
Leo and Una

They’re not division 2, if they were there’s no way I would have heard of them either. I am a lower division nerd lol
