OOC Trivia question
Jul 10, 2012, 10:04 PM

Don't look it up.
In 24 of the last 30 years we have played atleast 2 "tough" OOC games ever year and they have all been against current SEC members except for 2 teams. One them obviously always being USC.
Who are those teams?
I don't know, I found this ironic... not necessarily the teams but more the fact that almost ALL our tough OOC games have been against current SEC teams and we have consistently done that for nearly 30 years.
I hope the trend continues, but I do agree with the posts below that it may get tougher for us to do this bc Big 12 and SEC may form a scheduling alliance. It also will make it tough for us bc we put a huge emphasis on 7 home games and will have to get ok with 6 home games every other year, now that the ACC has gone to 9 conference games if we want to continue to do home and homes against SEC (or other big 5 conference) schools.
I sure hope TDP finds a way for us to continue to play another tough OOC game every year. I've been making a push for Arkansas.. I think that would be a great home and home due to our ties... Ford, Hatfield and TDP.

TCU (do they count as tough? wasn't an easy game to watch I know that) and aTm?
if you're counting aTm as a current SEC team, then I don't know.

TCU is correct.

Texas A&M is not. They are a current SEC member and Mizzou is too.
FSU is not, although that is correct.

Marshall, T A@M, and TCU were the ones I thought of.

Marshall finished the year 13-0 AP #10 with the top passer in the country, Chad Pennington.
That game, heck, the whole 1999 season (minus the VT game) is so foretelling of the Tommy Bowden era.
Look at it:

Sound familiar? Just one more _____________....
