Could be us, OM, Arkansas, or Mizzu also

I know...

 

[tenureplan]

oops, left out A&M

Missouri played in the SECC twice since coming into the league.

This short

Is why I love the NFL. Your team. no matter who they are, can change their fate. Until there are schools limits and expanded playoffs, college football is a story of 4-5 schools and everyone else.

 

[tenureplan]

and they were mediocre in a very bad east both times so what is your point

 

[Xenomorph]

The point is they’ve had more success than SC.. and also we recently spent 5 weeks as the #1 team in the country and played in the Orange Bowl so we’ve had more success than SC too.

SC hasn’t had a moment of being relevant since coming into the SEC.

 

[tenureplan]

same boat better seats maybe?

That's true, but there's something that college football has that the NFL can never replicate. I'm a State fan for life because that's where I went. I might move to Detroit (God forbid) and be a Lions fan while I'm there. I might even buy my kid a Stafford Jersey. But Stafford can be traded and I might move to Chicago or Nashville or wherever. But college fandom is for life. Kevin Durant will always be a Longhorn, Dak Prescott will always be a Bulldog. That's what makes college football special.

But the fact that their in state rival has won a couple championships in the last few years puts them at the top of this dung heap

Lol Um Spurrier had 3 11 win seasons in a row from 2011-2013. I would say that’s more than a moment of being relevant. How many 11 win seasons has State had?

I know it's halloween week and all but I don't understand why you contemplate or say **** like that out loud.

Unless your team is the Bengals.

I don't know if 'hasn't had a moment' is accurate. They had a good 2010, beat Alabama, and went to Atlanta. They were the only non-SEC West team to beat Alabama, Auburn, Arkansas, or Mississippi State that season.

 

[Dawgg]

Unless your team is the Bengals.

Even the Bengals have been to two Super Bowls.

oops, left out A&M

A&M is the better comparison w/ Jimbo, maybe even w/ the hopes of Manziel.
But the difference - and I've been saying this about SC for years - they have put forth the effort to really push them ahead, but it didn't happen.
SC has hired2 legends ( Holtz and Spurrier ) and had that massive stadium expansion as well. There is not much more they could have done with their $$ and still don't have a major accomplishment to show for it.
Lots of schools (like us) have had moments of hope, and similar dreams, but the difference is their amount of effort.

 

[Dawgzilla]

Yeah, and MSU has been to Atlanta. It's all about the "tease" factor.

 

[Xenomorph]

That’s definitely their best stretch. My memory of Spurrier’s time there is clouded by how he quit on the team and slinked back to Gainesville.
