Summary
Alabama’s athletic director Greg Byrne suggested eliminating the SEC Championship Game, citing the expanded playoff as a reason. However, Georgia coach Kirby Smart disagrees, stating that winning the SEC title is a point of pride and the hardest thing to do in sports. Smart’s comments seem to be a subtle shot at Byrne and Alabama, who appear to have no interest in competing for the SEC championship in the future.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
The SEC Championship Game is now a point of pride, or so says Kirby Smart. Winning it is the hardest thing to do in sports, apparently. The conference’s slogan is “It just means more,” but only if you’re winning. Alabama’s athletic director wants to get rid of the game, but Smart is not apologizing for his team’s recent wins. The SEC title is now a badge of honor, but only for those who value it.
The routine arrives with confidence, and this confidence is used to justify the existence of the SEC Championship Game.
