Not sure why this never occurred to me, but why did they build the Gator Bowl in the first place?  For two games a year?

It was for the big high schools to share as a home field.  
.
They did the same thing in Gainesville - the 3 big high schools share Citizen's Field.  We'd get a police escort, felt pretty cool (in lieu of an actual home field).

And those two games still draw more folks than the NFL team.

The WLOCP would outdraw a 5-time Super Bowl-winning NFL team, lol.

Yes, but the fumble, scoop, and score was just that, a fumble, scoop, and score. This year will go down as the year of the SEC football officiating team as winners. SEC, SEC, SEC. Go officiating team!!!

well... sorta.  

i don't think those SEC refs are competent enough to demonstrate favoritism.. seriously... they are bad.  really bad.  instead of acknowledging how bad they are? they pat each other on the back and tell each other what good jobs they've done... 

used to be an SEC ref team led by a guy named Ritter.  he was bad.  talking nineties through early part of century.  he was one of their 'best', and he was bad... very bad- and so was his entire crew.  I literally watched one of his line judges tackle a ball carrier once- true story.. in South Carolina on a Thursday night game IIRC- Spurrier against Tuberville.  the dude took a football stance and form tackled the ball carrier..... everybody laughed and laughed, and looked past the decisive play when it was dead because of the jolly good time it produced... it was a move to make Houdini proud, by my reckoning.  who ever thought i would long for the days of Ritter and actually miss that goofy SOB?  I do, though.  because this batch now- are bad.  

there ain't nothing to be proud of with that crew.  bama should have been a 8-4 team this season- except for the reffing. then, to surprise everyone, they turn on them at the end of the season.  on and on it goes.  curiously, i'm blindly drawing a correlation between this and the legalizing of gambling in many states.  prove me wrong :) ...

I went to bed figuring I could harass over confident Vol fans this morning about how they would win the SEC next year.

As for conference bowl records, meh.  The Vols sneak out a one point win over Indy.  Does that mean anything other than that the two teams are pretty equal?  Ohio State and Wisconsin lost very close games with some interesting calls.  Play a lot of these games over and you get the reverse result.

I'm sure SEC fans will trumpet the records again, but meh.

Yeah, that one sorta backfired.

All three teams are currently tied at zero wins for this decade, the 2020s.
