I guess I’m going to have to write a part two to this, since I’m still getting comments on it two years after the fact. Look for it soon Logan. :)

ok someone hates the south for no reason.
1. someone explained it better than me. There was already an SC conference so they went to the next best thing. SEC
2. University of South Carolina founded in 1801, University of South California founded 1880. So who is coping who? They were founded first, I think they should get the name.
3. The SEC is almost allows equal in competition. So why already schedule harder opponents from outside the conference? SEC school usually always have some of the hardest rated schedules in college football.
4. When your the best your going to have the most in the top 25. Seems like pretty easy logic to me.
5.geaux is Cajun for go, genius. It is from LSU in Baton Rouge. It is said dawgs because that’s the way it sounds with a southern accent.
6. Auburn’s mascot is a tiger and always will be. The eagle is a story from the 1890 season where Auburn was losing to Georgia at half time. One of Auburn’s professors at the time had a pet eagle, and it escaped from it’s cage and flew to the stadium where it flew over the field yelling it’s eagle cry. Auburn came back and won the game making it forever known as WAR EAGLE.
7. This one is the only one I can agree with, but keep in mind Florida State is still in love with Bobby even though his time was up 5 years ago.
8. I do understand this is an ACC page, but Florida did win 2 national championships with Tim Tebow. So the name is going to come up a lot just get use to it.
9. The SEC does have a few bad years, but not often. It’s usually an all or none deal, but never as bad as the PAC-10 aka the South California conference because be honest their all they got. USC and Ohio State (being Big 10 with 11 teams by the way go figure) can win out when you play nobody every year and rig the rose bowl to play the winner of the suck feast leagues.
10. Yet again Bring up LSU in Baton Rouge. Purple and Gold are mardi gras colors. End zones of Tennessee are a tradition in which a lot of schools use to do. I don’t think you can hate on the SEC on this one. I mean Miami has to have the ugliest uniforms with the stupidest mascot next to Lightning at Mid Tennessee State. What about Boise States field? Or even What the hell is a hookie? Maybe why does North Carolina Have a such bright blue? My eyes can’t stand to watch an entire game with them.

UGA is for University of Georgia-Athens.

I’m a Michigan fan who lives in Georgia. It gets pretty old listening to SEC arrogance. Having said that, I think this list is pretty ridiculous. Colors, nicknames? How about a legitimate complaint like what Scott said about SEC fans reversing their logic? USC loses to Washington and “they were so overrated,” but Georgia loses to South Carolina and “look at that SEC depth.” Give me a break.

I completely agree with point number 9.

Even when the SEC is top heavy they won’t admit that a conference like the Big 12 in a good year could outshine them.

The point about the SEC middle and bottom tier teams typically not being better than those same level of teams in other BCS conferences is another excellent point.

orange and blue are horrible colors…just ask the hardware store that donated the paint supplies to the university because they were completely unpopular and wouldn’t sell. yes, that’s a true story.
