Had to let you guys catch up to make the rivalry better.
Catch up?? We lead the series
He was talking about Conference Championshps....
And you trail in that.
Funny to hear all this "lead the series" stuff. I can't blame you, enjoy the 6 month old lead of 7-6, it will last about that much longer.
And oh yea,
We did take a break from "The Triple Option Force" when our former AD and President forced all the "Jedi" out of the coaching ranks. Now it is back. During our time away from that is also when you "caught up" on Conference Championships. You won three before we joined the conference in 1993 at which time we won the conference out right in our fist year. You won it again in 95 bringing your lead to 4-1. We then won the Conference or a share there of 6 straight years! Splitting it with you once and winning it out right 4 of the other 5 times! That gave us the lead 7-5. We won it again in 2004 leading the series 8-5 going into the impressive run you guys put up starting in 05. Bringing us to 8-6 before we scrapped our option. THIS IS THE BREAK WHERE YOU CAUGHT UP! App then went on to win 5 more in a row, splitting the crown with Wofford 2 of those times. Giving you the lead 11-8. Then in our second year of going back to our old ancient weapon, we won the title out right in 2011. And then we split it 3 ways last year (THIS IS WHY WE NEED A CONF CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!). Anyway, yes you technically currently lead this series 12-10. HOWEVR, it is hardly fair to count years that we were not even in the conference! Especially considering that we won the National Championshiop in the Division 4 times before we joined the SoCon. One of those times being 1986, your first Conf. Title year. So the fact is that since we joined the Conference.
We lead the Conf. Championship series: 10-9
NOTE: 4 of your Conference titles was during our non- 3-O years.
Without us "letting you catch up", we probably would lead the series much more than by one game.
Anyway, we will see how much longer your head to head lead last.
