UT is one of the 15 SEC teams I hate .
Amen brother! The coffee talk around work this morning was all about how poorly the SEC plays in bowl games and that it is not a 'good look' for the conference. I replied, "I hope they all lose. I hate them all." Everyone was stunned, ha. "You have to pull for the SEC blah blah blah yada yada yada." I asked them how an SEC with a strong bowl/post-season record helps Mississippi State (all are State fans.) "Well, it shows the rest of the country how good we are down here blah blah." I just laughed and said 17 em.

In any particular year, no, it does not matter to us. But we do make more money because the SEC is known as the best and over time we'll take a hit if the conference consistently looks as weak as it has last year and this year.
