I hoped that the rivalry could be raised a couple of notches, just as I hoped with the UT regime change. However, you're still left with a whining fan base which claims they've been officiated out of a championship because the SEC HQs are located in B'ham. Damn! I wish we could get them relocated to Nashville or Atlanta or even NOLA, just so they could learn that it doesn't make a damned bit of difference...
The SEC offices were in Birmingham when.....
1) JJ Meadors trapped that ball in the 95 Arky game
2) we got called for a ticky tack defensive hold in the 00 Arky game
3) we got called for an insane celebration penalty in the 03 Arky game
4) Curtis Brown's TD was taken from us in the 95 Auburn game
5) Ole Miss did NOT get called for targeting on Hurts in the 16 Ole Miss game
And I could list a dozen more with time to think through each game.
So...did the SEC offices magically move to different cities through the years in the middle of games?
Or does this have absolutely NOTHING to do with it at all?
