Honest question.....why?
Do you enjoy watching us lose?
Knowing we will lose?
Maybe things will change and we can go back to beating them 7 years in a row again but lately it’s just not been any fun.
Don’t think they’ll ever go to 9 conference games....no reason to do it, since the SEC is getting a team or two into the playoffs and national title game pretty much every year. According to Tony Barnhardt, just no appetite for it from SEC coaches and ADs outside of Saban. Don’t believe it’ll ever happen.9 game SEC schedule is the solution. No reason to drop cross-division rivals.
Yea well we already have at least 1 before them with Florida so, not sure what you even mean.
Florida typically doesnt make us look like a middle school team when playing them. Saban usually takes it easy on us. If he wanted to, he could easily beat us by 5-6 TDs every year. UF isn't nearly that good. Plus, especially in the more recent years, we have beaten ourselves more than UF has beaten us.
So why not just take the one sure fire automatic loss off the schedule?
I didn't like it when we dropped Auburn cause of the divisions.
With a 12 game schedule now, you can get more matchups we couldn't before.
I'm a traditionalist at heart, but we can rotate fast enough that I don't think I'd mind dropping anyone from the schedule..
None of the changes would result in permanent changes, like aTm/TX... Or Pitt/WVU...
Any who. Doesn't matter. Can't see those find of changes coming.
You don’t drop your biggest rival. They’ve been on a historic run, but cracks are forming in their foundation, their dynasty will fall just like every other, and I want to watch Tennessee beat them when the tables turn. Remember the 90s? College football is very cyclical, and we are about to cycle up again. **** bama, you have to face the bully and beat him, or you will always be the geek that goes running scared.Dropping Bama would be just fine by me.
Sec football is much like life, in the fact that it is not fair. The sooner you realize these things the easier it is to deal with the reality that is currently presenting itself to you.I love the traditional cross division permanent games, and Bama for sure is traditionally important. That being said, if you're looking for fairness across the board, a four year, 9 game conference game rotation is one of best solutions I've heard. At the end of the day, Bama's historical run has also throttled any momentum we ever developed, where we're falling on the sword in the name of tradition. The only evenly contested high end SEC matchup, of say the top 8 is UF/LSU, over the past 10 years.
