Back when the league had 12 teams everyone played 10 out of 11 opponents. It wasn't that long ago.
I've always valued regular season titles a bit more than conference tournament titles.

That said, the regular season title is diminished slightly by the rise of super conferences with unbalanced schedules.

OU has played 2 games. Mizzou has played lots.



Lol, define "lots." Since joining the league, there have been several seasons where they did not even qualify for the tournament.

The problem with that is you would then also be tacking on significantly more bowl games to every other SEC school which would still leave Vandy behind.



Not necessarily. Vanderbilt (.498) still has a better overall winning percentage than Kentucky (.495) and Mississippi State (.488).

Vandy football...6 total bowl games since 1890?


If the modern standards of bowl games (.500 record or better) applied to college football "since 1890" Vanderbilt would have gone to dozens of bowl games and maybe even played for a natty or two.

Fun trivia question to impress your friends:
Q: Which team handed Alabama the biggest arse-whipping in its history?
A: Vanderbilt 78, Alabama 0; Oct. 20, 1906
Anyone who lives in an SEC state is going to get the SEC Network on a basic level of cable, and it's going to be included in the cost. No need to purchase a "sports pack".
David Price projects to the Hall of Fame at this point in his career. Long ways to go, though.

Does anybody know if that would also include Time Warner since they are merging?



No, it does not. The merger will probably take another year to even be approved by the government, and approval isn't a total certainty. A separate deal will have to be made with Time Warner to get the SEC Network before then.
People still seem to be a bit confused about this...

Like other ESPN channels (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU), you will be able to stream live SEC Network games digitally on WatchESPN, but only if you're already getting the SEC Network on your TV by subscribing to a provider that offers it AND purchasing whatever tier necessary for that channel. In other words, you won't have digital access without cable access.

The good news is if you live in an SEC state, getting the Network will NOT require adding an extra sports tier to your cable package. It will be on a low level of cable. Not the very lowest, but the next rung or two up from that.
Sounds to me like they're positioning themselves to eventually say, "We tried to offer the SEC Network to fans on an a la carte basis, but Disney/ESPN wouldn't let us."

This call was downright criminal. Cost us the game even though the season was lost at this point it was still a horseshite call.



It was a bad call, but LOL at "cost us the game". Georgia was leading 27-14 with 13 minutes left in the game at the time that penalty occurred. So we're talking about a drive-extending penalty in a game you're leading by 2 TDs early in the 4th quarter. That is not much different than BS pass interference or defensive holding calls that extend drives all the time. The bad longsnap near your own end zone later in the quarter was far costlier. Georgia's continued obsession over this only demonstrates how infrequently they're on the receiving end of bad calls.
