The guys stepped inside their SEC time machine and went back to an iconic moment in the conference's history. The premiere episode of "It Just Meant More" was devoted to the 2012 SEC Championship, which saw Georgia come up just short of taking down Alabama in an instant classic. The guys looked back on that day by breaking it down into a variety of categories. We've got the quick rundown of what happened and what was on the line, the A-Listers (star players), the Directors (coaches), the breakout stars and the prominent extras. The guys then shared the favorite line from the broadcast, the best could take from the broadcast, the Jadeveon Clowney reminder that normal people don't play this sport, the Trent Richardson "I can't believe they didn't make it in the NFL," things you didn't know/remember until re-watching this game, when the losing team blew it, what happened afterward with flipped results and the lasting image of this game. We had some fun, y'all.

The quarterback carousel is in midseason form, y'all. We talked about Connor being wrong about Malik Willis and Tommy Stevens deciding to reunite with Joe Moorhead at Mississippi State. (2:45) The guys dug into an odd comment from Willie Taggart over the weekend and what it says about the current state of Florida State.
