Just looking at SEC Tournament History

[Villagedawg]

Looks like if we don't win the tournament this year, it will tie the longest streak without winning it in our history. We won in 1990 and didn't win again until 2001. 11 tournaments. Won in 2012, and this is the 11th tournament since then (no tournament in 2020). I know the importance of it has changed dramatically over this years, and it's not nearly as important as it once was. And the 2nd longest dry streak was 9 (1953-1962).

Edit: It will break the record, not tie it.

Well damn, lets pack up the bags and go home in shame

Point was more about how often we've won. 11 years being the longest time ever. Not about anyone's shame.

Its not what it once was for sure. There was some pride involved at one time but now it only serves to help a team or two a year now. Otherwise, its passed its usefulness

At one time, the tournament determined the actual conference champion. I believe it was changed after about 1987. Since then, the conference champion is the regular season champion, as it should be.

There's a non-zero chance either Texas A&M or Tennessee trot the equipment manager out there to pitch at least one inning tonight.

At this point, the SECT is for bubble teams and those in the top 25 hoping to host. If you're guaranteed a Top 8 spot, you want '2 & Que' to save your arms for next weekend. If you're guaranteed a Regional hosting spot, you might want to take one or two just to solidify it, but otherwise, you're just trying to keep everybody healthy for the next week. It's no surprise the 1-4 seeds all lost yesterday.
