1993.
That is the one that annoyed me the most.
93 is a joke. They did not win the conference, did not play in the SEC Championship Game, did not play in a bowl game and they were on probation.
With the barn standards we could claim several more.
I've heard barners say the same thing about us... rightfully so too...
Can you tell me what year we we claim a championship that we did not win the conference, did not play in a bowl and were on probation?

This is the one claim I do not agree with. Although we did play in a bowl game and won it we did not win the Conference. Finished third.
