    I would imagine there are many other 'internal' examples of no "The" as I saw those 6 in about 30 seconds of search time.

    Are there strict usage rules in some manual with exceptions to delineate when the "The" is not required or what?
    If so, AGS/SoCon posters need this list of rules so that we can be properly respectful to our Bellhop friends.

    Hilarious and Accurate points!

    So now that you are aware the SoCon actually has three more programs than you thought, are you still bullish on Samford's chances?
    FU all the time.

    "The game we know and love literally grew up in the Southern Conference. To find the foundation for ACC and SEC football, you have to go the league’s roots. To find an appreciation for a brand of football often-overlooked and seldom-appreciated, we as fans should do the same."

    I understand the use of THE, but you have to admit FUBeAr has a point.
