Message: [QUOTE="SU94, post: 3908403, member: 202"] For the young, snarky, defeatist or uneducated, SU Football very often perform quite well, thank you, against the Southeastern Conference (shouldn’t it be the SC?). Not always, not universally, but we compete and we win too! In the Dome Era, are 8-8-1 against the SEC. Perhaps, just maybe, it matters a tad bit more for us. See what I did there (it is actually a really good conference slogan)? [LIST] [*]Battered SEC Champ Florida/Spurrier in the Dome in 1991 by the score of 38-24. Kirby Dar Dar … you’re a legend! How cocky of us to schedule Florida with a future NFL quarterback (Shane Matthews) for homecoming. That’s legendary sh!+. Then lost to them in the Orange Bowl in Donnie’s last game, IIRC. The ‘91 win was such a drubbing, the Gators would not play another OOC outside of the state of Florida for ~30 years. Truth. It was a traumatic episode with decades of repercussions for the Gators. [*]Beat Georgia at Fulton Country Stadium in the 1989 Peach Bowl. Mark McDonald, take a bow. This was your moment. Road wins in bowl games are rare and quite delicious. Thanks for hosting us, Dawgs. [*]Swept Vandy in a home-and-home in 1990 and ‘91. Ho-Friggin-Hum. We were quite good at the time, they were … and always are, Vanderbilt Football. [*]Sorta beat National Champ Tennessee in 1998, but got robbed(!). I’ll leave it right there, but while Fulmer and those Vols have rings, they know they were beaten that day. We then got beat pretty good at their place a year or two later. 35-7 perhaps? [*]Beat LSU handily in the 1988 Hall of Fame Bowl (score: 23-10). Mike Archer was their HC. Then our kids competed hard and had a realistic shot in a pair of losses to top 10-ish LSU in 2015 and ‘17. [*]Beat Kentucky in the 1999 Music City Bowl. We got a bit lucky in this one, as their TE was carving us up, but then he got hurt. Life sucks sometimes. Seven-point victory. Ever notice one reason that the SEC wins so many bow games is because they are all “almost” all played in SEC Country. No so in Nashville. [*]Lost twice in an ‘80s home-and-home with Mississippi State. I have no memory of these games, both of which began were season openers. The 1986 game sparked an 0-4 start that almost cost Mac his job. [*]Dominated (beating an NFL QB), tied and lost (a close game at Jordan Hare) to Auburn in a home-and-home and the 1987 Sugar Bowl. Yeah, Pat Dye. But by now, the Tigers program knows we’re not one to mess with. [*]Won at Mizzouri in a one-off contest thanks to a helluva game from Marrone, Nassib and Alec Lemon. Glorious comeback in a special 2012 season. 31-27. [/LIST] Not played South Carolina Not played Arkansas Not played Texas A&M Not played Alabama Not played Ole Miss [/QUOTE]
