Also Tulsa, Tulane, Memphis, East Carolina, and Navy all played very tough schedules in the independent days. Every team in this conference has had a taste of the good life, but we are actively being forced out.
Memphis wanted to be an independent so we could play 4 SEC teams each year.
We had home and homes with Ole Miss, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi State pretty much from 1960s-1990s. Add in we played Louisville and Southern Miss every year as well.
