More SEC Myths
Sep 18, 2019, 3:28 PM

I am not saying the SEC is a bad conference. It's good. But sometimes it (and its media buddies) inundate us with SEC Mythology.
Watched a program on last week's Florida/Kentucky game. A mini-documentary on the game.
The docu-announcer said, "When you're in the SEC - you have to bring it every week!" Meaning what? Other conferences DON'T "bring it" every week? Of course they do. So far this year, the SEC - altogether - has lost 12 games. Of those 12 losses, only 4 have been to other SEC teams: UK lost to FL; Scar lost to Bama; Ole Miss lost to ARK; Vandy lost to UGA.
Now the other losses: Mizzou lost to Wyoming of the Mt West; Scar's other loss was to UNC (ACC); Tenn lost to (Indy) BYU & GaSt of the Sunbelt;

Sorry - fingers messed me up...
Vandy's other loss was to Purdue (Big 10); Ole Miss lost to Memphis (Amer.Ath.); MissSt lost to KanSt (Big 12); A&M lost to CU (ACC).
So HAS the SEC "brought it" every week, or are a bunch of other conferences bringing it too.
(Sorry for divided post)

I suspect they only "bring it" when playing other SEC teams.
Otherwise, it would seem that you're onto something.

I think when he said “you have to bring it” he may have been talking about a pillow, or rollaway bed. those games can be incredibly taxing on your stamina

Self aggrandizing nonsense

I agree with you.
Fans from other conferences are sick and tired of that kind "mythological" SEC superiority talk.
Their on-field product simply doesn't support that sort of self-aggrandizing nonsense.
That sort of gibberish is the reason I never watch SEC football games on CBS or the SEC Network.

And they have two teams in the conference that confirm the myth: Mythissippi and Mythissippi State.

They have a brand to sell and they are committed to it. Yes the ACC is not impressive as a conference at present, but there are some teams that are more physical than they use to be (even if they are not a good team). NC State, Pitt, and Cuse come to mind.

We need a pithy mantra like, "The ACC, it means even more to us than it does to the SEC. At least in Basketball."
