Saturdays in the South: History of SEC Football is an embarrassment

So the sixth episode aired tonight that covered 1990-1999.

Expansion, Manning, Spurrier, etc. you knew would all be covered.

So I thought that Arkansas may get a little play on the episode, I mean they were instrumental in bringing about the modern era of CFB with conference title games, realignment and such.

Episdoe starts and theres about 25 minutes if nothing but Spurrier, then of course we get to hear more about Alabama, a school the entire series has covered ad nauseum (I get it, they kind of are the SEC, but constant Bear Bryant stuff was just over the top.)

Then they finally get to a bit about expansion. I'm thinking maybe they got Frank before he died to do an interview or at least some media guy.... Nope... One photo of Roy Kramer and Frank and one mention of Arkansas and S. Carolina.

So I'm thinking, OK, well maybe they'll hint at Huston Nutt and the 98 seson a little bit.

But then we gret basically another hour of Manning, Tennessee, lots and lots of Florida, and even fricking legit segments on a coaching change at Georgia, and Auburn, and then get about 15 minutes of fricking Tim Couch an the fricking hedges at Georgia even got its own segment.

No Leach interview, no Mumme interview, just Tim Couch and some former Kentucky QB from the 70s.

So then, with about 10 minutes left in the episode, I'm thinking, well I guess they'll maybe they interviewed Nutt and will touch on how he took over the team and got Them to 8-0 and played one of the most famous SEC games in the last 30 yrs.

Finally, after the segment was all about Tennessee and they spent forever on them finally beating Florida in 98 with Tee Martin, they get to the Arkansas game. No mention of them being undefeated undefeated and no interview with Stoerner, Nutt, nobody.

They spent 1.5 minutes on the game.. That's it. They all laugh and thank the football gods for the fumble and then thats it. On to Fla. State and Tenn. Wins the title. End of epsiode.

Look, I wasn't expecting some epsiode filled with Arkansas stuff, but I figured they'd maybe just meybe get a little more airtime than 1.5-2 minutes. Instead, we got story's and games and coverage we've all seen 100 times before. I mean I know they're not a historical sec team but gosh damn. You're supposed to be telling the in-depth story of the league and gloss over expansion like it's nothing and then flash what is a top 10-15 sec since then. It was quite embarrassing.

I've been very against the notion for a long time, but we should really be in the Big 12.
