I queried Greg Byrne via the Twitters on Friday...

to see if he had a dilemma with which team he was rooting: Conference loyalty or his former employer. He replied with "No dilemma. #HailState"

I don't think there's anywhere near the conference loyalty in the other conferences you see in the SEC.

No conference loyalty here. I hope Florida, Vandy, LSU, USC, and Arkansas all continue to **** the bed in baseball next year and the SEC can continue to write us a check while I bad mouth Slive all off season. If anything the SEC screwed us this year. In any other conference we'd be better than 16-14 and likely a high national seed (it worked out).

17 every other school, especially that pompous one to the north.

Us pulling together outside of the actual contests is what sets us apart to a very large extent...The more that perception is forced, the closer to reality it becomes.

THAT is Slive's lasting legacy in the SEC...which he inherited with schools eating each other and practically everyone on probation...

Exactly. Which is why these people who ***** about the S-E-C chant and talk about how they root against SEC schools in the postseason are misguided. The mindset that leads fans to chant S-E-C is the same mindset that makes the SEC the dominant conference in most every sport (except basketball).

Well damn, I thought it was the athletes all these years.

I have to agree. I don't give a **** how other teams do. I haven't pulled for a single sec team in the bcsncg the past 6 or however long years its been. Including the all sec matchup.
