Britsh press calls SEC meet a "humdum college athletics meeting" - How do the SEC champs stack up vs the British champ

If you only look at the top 2 results for everything then yes maybe GBR would win. If you do full scoring for SEC vs GBR is much closer than you think.Also, hopefully you realized that Florida has had some the best LJ and TJ athletes in the world.SEC 2016, GBR 2015 Outdoor ChampsCursory glance (men's only):SEC wins 800,400,200,4x100,4x400, DT, 400H, PVEither side:100,Steeple, 110H, GBR wins whatever's left.

Did anyone see this?

Maybe Bloom doesn't realize how good the SEC is. If you had a conference meet between the SEC and Britain (Mitchell-Blake runs for the SECs) who would win?

Anyone think the SEC would give them a run for their money?

Assuming you are talking about the full table of events, the SEC would get spanked...it wouldn't be close. GB would go 123 in almost all of jumps and multi events and the would every event over 800. Mo could easily win the 1500/5k/10k. GB would likely go 1-2 in the 100 and win all of the throws...like I said it would not be close

On what planet does SEC win 400H? Or the relays. Gimme a break.

They live on planet SEC.

Also should be noted that Brits think that the commonwealth games is a major championship.

Americans think Baseball is a major sport, so....

The Division I struggle continues over TV audiences. The SEC is battling with

the other Power Conferences (BIG-10, PAC-12, SEC, and ACC). The Olympics Four (Cal, Stanford, UCLA, USC) wants to break away from the PAC-12 and Power Conferences and keep TV revenues to themselves. Who knows what's next.

Are we going to have to reenact the Casey Jones/Rafael scene from ththe first ninja turtles movie?

Fascist England doesn't have a free press nor human rights.

You seem to think an SEC meet nobody sees is somehow bigger than many countries sending their Olympic-level athletes to an international competition.

1. Humdrum doesn't mean that it was a low quality athletics meet, it means that it was a mundane, uninteresting meet. Compared to the meets that most Telegraph readers will be aware of (eg Olympics, possibly the London Diamond League, that is about it) a US college meet is pretty humdrum.

2. GB sprinters would have the SEC champs on toast.

At least England parades it's Windsor brats in full militia costumes for photo

shoots in Iraq and Afgannistan. Hair-Boy and Willie pretend to be Air Services

pilots. Very amusing indeed. Obama should so likewise with Malia and Sasha ;-)
