Zero interest, would probably stop watching or caring. I loved the old days of the SEC, even today the league is watered down with the trash that Shankey let in without consulting its members. Would like to see him fired and bring somebody in that puts SEC first.

Neither are nothing like Saban. Saban won with his team significantly changing every year. Reid has an elite QB in a league that is setup for the QB to singly handedly when the game: ( can’t touch the QB, can’t hit recivers, defense taken out if the game). It’s partly why Brady was so successful.

Note I’m not saying that those aren’t elite QBs, but to pretend both of those would have gotten through a season back in the 1980s without a bruise would be foolish.

Remember, we are in the age of free agency, it doesn’t make sense for a NFL team to win back to back to back super bowls.. but over the past decade or 2 we have seen it over and over.

I would like to see Shankey fired and find somebody who is focused on SEC first. We would have been perfectly fine not letting Texas and Oklahoma in and declaring the SEC championship game as the national champions, frick everybody else.

It kind of feels like the NCAA is telling just about everybody to go frick themselves. If you see going to pay players, they don’t really give a shite anymore.

The problem is you didn’t even play a true SEC schedule.

I don’t recall them winning the SEC championship?

Because Texas should have never been let in, Sankey fricked us all by not telling teams about his plan and basically back stabbed the entire league getting Texas in. There are at least 3 teams that would have out right vetoed it. That’s about as anti SEC move as you could possibly pull and somehow that a-hole still has a job.

It would have been much more entertaining letting Okie and Okie St in.

They should have pulled a Texas and start throwing things on the field until the play got overturned.. oh wait, that had only happened when Texas did it.

Only Texas would get that call.

The first Arkansas game vs USC with Gus Bus as offensive coordinator and Nutt as the head coach. This was back before teams were the HUNH fast game that GUS was running in highschool. Nobody knew if it would work or not and the team was kind of shaky on it.. meaning nobody thought you could run a high school offense in college.

We came out running it and the stadium was on fire for the first 3 or 4 plays… had USC pretty confused. Then there was a running play with Felix Jones around the end where he ran something like 30 yards but then fumbled and turned it over. Nutt got scared and shut it down.

We ended up getting destroyed by 50 or something crazy and didn’t try the scheme into late in the game… when we ran it then we scored a TD in something like 45 seconds going all the way down the field.

That fumble destroyed whatever little confidence Nutt had with the system… if he would have just stayed with it we probably would have beat USC and who knows what would have happened for years to come as teams slowly tried to figure out what GUS was doing.
