Playing in that game has almost felt like a punishment ever since we went to 12 teams. Seriously, you had like 4 fanbases on rivalry weekend rooting for whatever outcome let them skip the 13th game deathmatch.

Winning the last 2 SEC titles has been great, but ngl I kinda soured on it when our beatdown of Bama last year had no impact on either of our rankings.

I mean I’m a big fan of humor when my guy is the comedian punching down, so I’ll take it as much as we can get it.
