Does anyone remember any better than me? I was pretty young and not as plugged in. Were the majority of fans more excited about the additional teams and the start of the SECCG, or were they more worried about watering down the conference and losing rivalries?


Some slight disappointment at having to "settle" for South Carolina and Arkansas when names like Texas, A&M, Miami and Florida State had been bandied about for a while, but overall, a lot of excitement about the teams we did get and the new divisional format with a CG. We were the first to do it, and everyone was watching to see how it would work out. Unfortunately, LSU sucked at the time, so we weren't really a factor in the division races until years later.
