OM never would play Alabama hardly at all- 9-48 vs them all-time including their 2 game win streak. OM started playing them every season starting in 1980- 5-31 since then. State is 7-29 in that time frame
We used to play home games vs Auburn in B'ham
Ga Tech withdrew from the SEC over illegal recruiting practices that the SEC wouldnt amend
Tulane dropped out because they felt academics was being overshadowed by athletics and they werent competing anymore

We have such an abysmal record in the SEC because we used to play Auburn, Alabama, and LSU on the road year after year.
From 1933-1957- State played Alabama in Tuscaloosa every year but 1. From 1967-1979 we played in Alabama 8 times and in Jackson 5 times
We played Auburn in Mississippi 5 times before 1970- but played them in the state of Alabama 38 times
From 1931-1970- we played LSU in Louisiana every year but 3 times. Those 3 in Jackson. 1931-1957 all at LSU

Interesting to look back at the politics of how why we are where we are today. And why we lag behind.
Heck we used to sell our games to them all. We made more money that way than having home games. Jackson started the trend away from selling our home game.
