One Arky fan posted about his first SEC experience against UGA. It was a good read about how he had never seen football and raw sexuality combined like that before. I forget who posted it, though.

Question for Arkansas older fanbase.

I'm trying to find the Article how the entire SEC tournament was stunned listening to the first Hog Call in the 1992 SEC Basketball tournament.
It was something they have never seen before.. Well, LSU and Ole Miss had seen it lots but not everyone else.

That was me posting about my intro to the SEC via the Georiga band and majorettes at the Independence Bowl Dec 1991. 
From a fan standpoint, the biggest difference probably has been small things like not having games that are close by. In reality, Austin is as far away from Fayetteville as Tuscaloosa, but SMU games were relatively close. I think for me, living in western Arkansas, Texas is just a lot more familiar to me than anything east of the Mississippi, so traveling to Texas is more natural.
That wouldn't be the case for people living east of Little Rock.
SEC teams never, ever send their marching bands to Fayetteville. I've never seen it once. But I do remember seeing the Texas A&M band, the Texas Band and all of the former SWC bands in Fayetteville back in the day.
I remember thinking that the fanfare cheers and songs the bands played in the SEC "sound really southern", like LSU's, Bama's, etc. Georgia's band sounded "southern" to me. The Texas stuff just sounds western and cowboy. That was a change, and thats the kind of stuff I guess a kid remembers.
Our first ever game as an SEC team was a loss to the fricking Citadel, so we sucked during that time period, and not just because of better competition.
