It's a year old but it's still an interesting read.... ;) :cool:

Here are the SEC highlights.

Joe Paterno passed Paul Bryant in 2001 to become the winningest college football coach, but never was able to beat the Bear in their four head-to-head meetings.

Bryant, on the hand, never beat Notre Dame (0-4) or legendary Tennessee football coach Robert Neyland (0-7)

As the head coach of Florida, Steve Spurrier never won at Doak Campbell Stadium. He was 0-5-1, with the tie coming in the infamous 1994 Choke at Doak. Gators haven’t won in Tallahassee since 1986.

Since these records were kept in 1949, a team other than Michigan, Ohio State or Tennessee has never led the country in average home attendance.

Alabama has never had a quarterback throw for more than 16 touchdown passes in a season. Current head coach Mike Shula and starting quarterback Brodie Croyle share the school record.

Tradition-rich Alabama and Tennessee have never had a Heisman winner. David Palmer finished third for the Tide in 1993 and Hank Lauricella, Johnny Majors and Peyton Manning were all runner-ups for the Vols.

Oklahoma and Georgia have both played more than 1,000 games throughout their histories, but never against each other.

Nebraska has never lost to LSU. The programs met six times from 1971-1987, with the Huskers winning five games. The two played to a 6-6 tie in 1976.

In eight meetings, Alabama has never beaten Texas. The teams did play to a 3-3 tie in the 1960 Bluebonnet Bowl.

During the 1938 season, the Duke defense never allowed its opponents to score an offensive touchdown. Tennessee turned the same trick the following year.

An SEC running back has never run for more than 2,000 yards in a season. Georgia’s Herschel Walker fell 109 yards shy of the milestone in 1981.

Arkansas and Arkansas State have never played each other.

Alabama and Alabama-Birmingham have never played each other.

Tennessee has never lost to South Carolina at Neyland Stadium. The Vols are 12-0 in Knoxville.

The last one here is not SEC related, but it proves a point I like to make about Mack Brown.

Texas coach Mack Brown has won 146 games over 20 years, but has never led a team to a conference title.

Some of those items were accomplished last year. Texas finally met Michigan in the Rose Bowl and they have a home-home with Ohio State, with a trip to Columbus this year. Also, Boise State lost their first bowl game in Memphis last year. Nebraska had its first losing season in a long time last year.

Something they should add to the list...along with Davis and Schnellenberger, former Georgia coach Jim Donnan never lost a bowl game. He beat Purdue, Wisconsin and Viriginia (twice).

It doesn't surprise me that neither Alabama nor Tennessee has had a Heisman winner. Those two programs have been known for fielding good teams rather than players (though many good players have passed through). I guess they fell victim to the Notre Dame bias.
