Living in the South, I have seen many fans who think that the SEC deserves to be proclaimed the best simple because it’s the SEC. When Utah beat Alabama last year, it wasn’t because Utah was good, it was because Alabama didn’t give a damn about the game, otherwise, Utah would have been creamed. Personally, I find that to be a crock of $hit.
I don’t like rooting for the University of Utah, but when they played Alabama, an SEC team, I acted like the U was my favorite team.
Yes SEC fans will always have a ready excuse for any game they lose.
“Personally, I find that to be a crock of $hit”
You can think that...it isn’t true, but you can think it.
Teams who come within a breath of the big game and lose, have a long history of losing their bowl games...two years ago, Florida lost the SEC championship game after being # 1...they went on to lose big to a Michigan team that had just fired their coach because they had a lousy season.
Texas Tech last year had a shot at the big game...lost a close one to OU and went on to get clobbered by Ole Miss in the bowl game.
