At least in 79, you knew things would get better, and they did (Lindsay Scott, notwithstanding).
Lol!!! We were in Tampa after DH graduated, and were watching that one on TV.... That day I learned NEVER to jump around celebrating until the final whistle has blown ;)
But indeed - you hit the nail smack on the head. The program has grown SO much, and we understand that we can’t be a National Champion every year, laughs, heck I don’t really care, but we darn straight better be SEC champs ;) and if not, it is because the whole conference is just that good.
Really cannot believe they are sticking with this one : /
Take care FRiend, and may God bless,
