There's

apparently a book out that makes those claims anyway. And an excerpt on

the argument about SEC football is linked below. Posted simply so we

can enjoy Hung's response.....

but what the hey.

Hello there selective timeline!  The "since 2000" thing doesn't even work anymore though.  With PAC 12 South leader Arizona State losing to Missouri....a team that is 0-4 in SEC play...and which had to start their BACKUP QB and with Washington's utter buttraping by LSU to the tune of 41-3...and then later going on to beat Stanford which was supposed to be one of the PAC's better teams, the PAC has a LOSING record even using their precious little selective timeline.

We haven't even gotten into the SEC's better bowl record.  Did I mention bowl record?  Let's see...this completely ignorant moron tried (foolishly) to cite the Gator Bowl last year between UF and OSU as a prime example of an SEC team having a home field advantage due to playing closer to home.  Anybody who was at that game or who even watched it could tell you that Ohio State had MORE fans there than UF did.  In fact that is often the case.  Why?  Ever lived in the Midwest?  Who the hell wouldn't want to get out for a vacation in the relatively warm and sunny South where there is at least the possibility of looking up and seeing blue skies and sun instead of an endless blanket of gray all day every day with the prospect of several months more of that to come?  Nobody.  Nobody would turn that down.  Thus it is that Big 10 teams often have more fans at these bowl games than the closer SEC team does.  Of course this tool just looked at a map and assumed air miles is all that mattered...even though both teams get there about a week in advance. 

So the supposedly "top heavy" SEC then consistently wins its bowls at a higher clip than any other conference and instead of admitting that the top heavy claim was wrong, the haters-mostly Left Coasters then just shift gears and start whining about air miles.  Oh and we haven't even mentioned BCS bowls  - 2 of which are in PAC territory - and in which the SEC has again, the best record of any major conference.  Then there is the matter of national title games where the SEC finally suffered its first defeat after running the table with everybody else to the tune of 7-0.  The only problem for everybody else was that it took another SEC team to give an SEC team a loss in the national title game.  

Quick, what are the major wire service national championships for PAC teams not named Southern Cal?  Well let's see there is UCLA's split title in 1954 and oh yeah, there is Washington's split title in 1991...then they got busted for massive cheating shortly thereafter.  What about the SEC without Alabama?  Well there is Tennessee 1951, Auburn's split title in 1957, LSU 1958, Georgia 1980, Florida 1996, Tennessee 1998, LSU split title in 2003, Florida 2006, LSU 2007, Florida 2008, Auburn 2010...quite a bit more than 2 split titles I think we can all agree.  Oh , and Alabama has a a lot more titles than Southern Cal.  Then there is the matter of the all-time head to head record which the SEC owns by a roughly 2-1 margin. 

Hey did you know that since 2006, the PAC is 5-10 against the SEC?  Its true.  I can play the selective timeline game too.

Any way you slice it, the SEC has simply been vastly superior to the PAC.

As for the rest of his drivel, I really couldn't care less what he thinks of the South.  The upside to him not liking it is that he will do us both the tremendous favor of staying the hell out of it.
