If FSU was in the SEC - they would have lost 2-3 games.

Wrong. They would be in the SEC east which they would have swept easily. Depending on who their two opponents from the west were, they would have been a 1 loss team at worst. In that case they beat Auburn in the SECCG and still play for the BCS title.

What? So if someone was like "Hey, we're going to disintegrate the SEC and put the teams in other conferences... UNLESS A SACRIFICE IS MADE!" You would sacrifice Fido?

:dry: You shouldn't even list the dog.


As for the OP question, I wanted to see a good football game, and like others have said, SEC fratbro love is overrated. Brothers?! BROTHERS?!?! Please.

I cannot see an Auburn team without booing, so how I going to root for a team I am booing? I got nothing against FSU these days.

I didn't read but a couple of pages of replies, so this may be redundant. However, I urge everyone on this board to stop buying into this "SEC prde" myth that has been floated around for the last several years. It is complete and udder B.S.
Let me ask, do you think Clem's son feels better because now that ass whipping they took from the 'Noles earlier in the season, all of a sudden "they got beat by the eventual National Champs? NO.
Do you feel better about our beloved Big Orange 'cause we've lost to all of the previous 7 NC winners, I sure as hell do not.
Has the SEC teams (other than us) winning the titles, helped our cause any? NO. And don't go crying about the money that is shared among the conference teams, as far as I'm concerned, it's blood money!
We have LOST more games in the last half decade than anyone on here can remember when compared from the previous 25, mainly in the name of recruits.
Why on earth anyone would want their opponet to have more bullets going into a fight baffles me, but when you pull for one of our rivals, that's exactly what you are doing. Because when they win, what do think the coaches out on the recruitng trail are saying...
Maybe it's the feeling that everyone thinks somehow if so and so wins, that'll justify our crappy team, B.S.
Go talk to people outside our conference, they know we are in the lower half, and have been, we aren't nearly as significant as we'd like to think (and that's including our glorious history)
I guarantee-damn-tee you that if these other ******* teams weren't wnning, they wouldn't be pulling for us...FLA, nah, GA, nah, the Gumps, hardly, they still hate us from kicking their asses a decade ago.
I IMPLORE all of Volnation, to stop this dumbass practice from here on out, it won't help the Mighty Vols in the only arena that counts, and that's on the field. It's a freaking fight every day from the practice field, weight room, recruiting battles, and ultimately on gameday, if you want to go stand with our SEC betheren, GTFO. I say, if you're not with us, your against us. Cheering for our rivals proves you're not with us!

Yep....pulled for Auburn without apology because of SEC conference pride.....some of you don't seem to remember the SEC, SEC, SEC chants heard in Neyland back in the 90s when we played good OOC teams like ND, Cal, and some others.....

I will always pull for those southern boys....

Do I like Auburn, Bama, UGa??? No...I don't...

But some of you guys just don't remember anything before the BCS era or the 90s....when the SEC as a league got NO respect from the press because it was all FSU, OK, Pee-uuu State, and ND....YUK! SEC teams were an after-thought....

And if you don't understand how having SEC teams win bowl games will POSITIVELY impact and help the VOLS because of strength of conference--which means that a SEC team who finishes with a 10-2 record would be more respected than a BYU team with a 12-0 record because of strength of schedule--then you're just too ignorant to understand some basics....

And, BTW--it appears that one of our latest recruits is coming down to a battle between us and OK...I would have loved to see bama put a beat down on OK and shut Stoops up--now he can claim that the Big 12 is just as good as the SEC...when we all know that it's not....

I remember when BYU went undefeated and barely beat a 6-5 Michigan team in a bowl game for the NC in 1984...it was PATHETIC! And I don't want to see some half-azz big1g team get into the playoff ahead of another SEC team with the same record (like, say, TENNESSEE)...

I realize that this argument is a lost cause--but that doesn't make it invalid. GO VOLS! GO SEC!

MikeVol...it is a lost cause. Some just think the losing recruits deal is the only factor, and no other benefits from a strong conference. I'm sure the AD Dept is going to be pissed that so many SEC schools went to big bowls while we sat at home when they get that wire transfer from the SEC. Remember the days when so many whined about how we carried everyone in the SEC financially by going to big bowls??? Smh.

Anywho..with that said I was just rooting for a good game to watch. Then when the hot little blonde rooting for auburn sat next to me at the bar I started leaning towards them. It got easier when the most annoying fans at the bar were FSU fans.

At the end of the day FSU didn't prove they were better than auburn so that's all I cared about. That's enough to show that the SEC is still the toughest conference.

Stop whining about others being strong, and hold the powers at be to do what it takes to get us back on top. Anyone who whines about having to come up to the standards of the best to beat them is just a weak person.

Noles. A good FSU team hurts UF. I don't like either team much at all.

I was'nt rooting for either team, but I agree that a great FSU team will make it tougher on UF and that sure is what we want. Might make it hard for Auburn also since they're in the same general recruiting areas.

Unless we plan on sticking to only recruiting the great hs talent the state of TN has to offer we r in the same recruiting area as all 3 teams too.

There is no way in utter hell I can ever support Bama in any game period. Any Vol fan that does need to be castrated.

Yessir, I know it is....Ignorance, and a total lack of CFB knowledge and IQ is rampant on this site. It's ALL VOLS and to blazes with every other SEC team....It's stupid, narrow-minded, and incredibly short-sighted. My two favorite teams are the VOLS and ANYONE who plays ND--because ALL the media just fall all over themselves to give credit to mediocre ND teams!

As Ric Flair used to say--"To be da man you gotta beat da Man....Whooooo." I want the SEC to STAY DA MAN when it comes to NC talk.

I respect the other conferences--but I don't care what that ignoramus Stoops has to say--let him play a schedule with Fla, UGa, USCe, Bama, and Auburn on his plate (sprinkle in a little LSU every now and again) and OK will NEVER be in the NC race again.

I just wish some of the most vocal of these folks would live up ANYWHERE North of the Mason-Dixon line for just 6 months and have to listen to the anti-SEC crap that's out there--along with their condescending tone about Southerners--ALL Southerners!

Heck fire, we've even had Oregon turds on here trying to tell us how good they and their conference are (no more of those "We Want Bama" shirts to be found...LOL!)

They neglect to know ANYTHING about our (VOL) tradition and history in college FB... If they did--they'd realize that the last 4 years are the WORST in the history of UT football and count themselves fortunate that they played us before our RETURN to National Prominence--which WILL happen.

But as long as these narrow-minded, short-sighted, inbred homers continue to spew their ignorant vitriol--I'll continue to root for the SEC. :salute:

In a really wishy washy way.

I like Auburn a bit because they also hate bammer, and serve as a check on them (esp now with Malzahn!). And I have many Au friends.

But yeah, at the end of the day it's better for us if they lose and all I really care about is the Vols. Could give a crap about this "ESH EAY SAY 'ER GRATE" chit.

Pulled for Auburn. They do not threaten our recruiting like UGa, Carolina, and Bama do. Plus, I like Aubie for their pure hatred of all things tea bagger.

Stoops talked and backed it up. Big Game Bob put a double digit beating on the gnome. We have the toughest conference and we had it before ESPN started pimping it. Three different SEC teams won titles in the 90's and Auburn had an undefeated season as well. There are good teams outside of the SEC just not on the level or at the consistency of the Miami teams, 90's Nebraska or 90's FSU teams.

Yes, Mike you are correct. The Gomers on this board can root for whomever they want to, but they either aren't old enough to remember all the poor treatment the SEC schools have received from the Yankee controlled media, or too short sighted to realize that it is a regional pride thing. Oh well everybody has their own reasons one way or the other.

No. I can't stand auburn. I don't hate them as much as I hate bammer, but it's close. Their fans are too fair weathered for my tastes. Those bandwagon jumpers have already put their "war eagle" crap back in their drawers and closets. Them beating bammer was no great feat as Oklahoma showed the nation. Bammer was downright horrid this year. That had to be the worst 11 win team in the history of the sport. They were a play or two away from being a team from the Dubose/fran/Shula era. And auburn was a play or two away from being a 4 or 5 loss team. Screw the state of alabummer. Can't wait until Tennessee is back to stomping both their b*tch @sses.

Ummm. Sorry, but that statement is laughable. You DO realize that if they had won, that would have been 5 , count em, 5 national titles in a row for that horrific, hillbilly state. You just don't realize what a favor Florida State did for ALL of college football.
