Four Consecutive BCS National Championships (Florida 06, LSU 07, Florida 08, Alabama 09)

Two teams in the AP's Preseason Top 5

Four teams in the AP's Preseason Top 25

By the time of early summer swelters, college football fans in the South wait impatiently for the first game's kickoff. And no where more than in the states that make up the Southeastern Conference. From Woo Pig Suey in Fayetteville, to grinding it out between the hedges in Georgia, to checkered fedoras in Bryant-Denny, to We Are the Boys in the Swamp or War Damn Eagle at Auburn. SEC football is a way of life

We've been touting our conference as the best in the NCAA for decades. With the conference shakeups of the offseason, the other conferences not so subtly acknowledge the SEC as the pinnacle of play as they tried in vain to catch up.

It's something the rest of ya'll just don't understand :-)

Yeah it is. Nothing i love better than whoopin' Tennessee's @ss up and down the field (except maybe UGA's) but i almost hope UT plays us tough just to give our young team some battle experience before going into the WWIII atmosphere that will be Bryant-Denny

I'm a UGA fan, how I got to be? I don't know it just happened.

Thanks for getting the thread started right!! Roll Tide!

Now, lets kick off serious discussions: Wouldn't it send the signal to the NFL to get their house in order if ALL SEC schools excluded scouts at practices until the NFL developed a proper plan to deal with the devastation being caused to college players, their education and the college programs by un-ethical scouts and/or agents. This is really a NCAA wide need, not just the SEC. But, giving the current power rating of the SEC, maybe if we lead the way, we can get the NFL to at least acknowledge their responsibility.

Too heavy for this thread?

I think that would be a good thing. The only negative is that a coach has to totally close practices even from fans, as Meyer and Saban did, in order to assure no scouts or agents infiltrate. Football crazy SEC fans have become accustomed to attending practices but i think most fans approve of closing them for the greater good

Great post Mike!! Love it :-)

It's these traditions that made me abandon the NFL!! I didn't watch one complete NFL game last year, but I watched hundreds of college football games!

GO NCAA!

OOOOH OOH Go Dawgs
[Reply]

Feel the same way bro. A bunch of over paid divas in my book. I still watch a few here and there but just cause I enjoy football in general. But watching a bunch of talented kids with something to prove at a school with a hundred years of tradition and pageantry being cheered on by a nut for his team like myself?!?! Thats what I'm talking about baby :-)

See how easily I can get carried away.....is it Sept 4th yet???

Go Cats! :-)

Major Wright looked excellent in the Bears' pre-season game last night, maybe the only bright spot.....Go Gators! :-)
