We are both Vandy and UKs top football rivals.
How is it fair to UK If they don’t get the Vols but Vandy does.

This is the point I’ve made that folks are overlooking. Everyone will get their top conference rival. For Kentucky, that’s Tennessee. We can’t just look at this from Tennessee’s perspective.

It doesn’t matter what I want to happen. Or what anyone else here wants to happen. The SEC release said that the focus is on preserving traditional rivalries. The 3 most “traditional” rivalries for Tennessee are Vanderbilt, Alabama, and Kentucky. And THE most traditional rival for Kentucky is Tennessee.

This is essentially a gift to Texas, Oklahoma and A&M to make the playoff. Have all the others beat up on each other and let the newbies cakewalk into the playoffs.


Makes no sense.

How so? They would play still play the other 6 elite teams every 2 years at least. And since each of those 3 have to play the other two they would at a minimum have maybe one cupcake team as one of their 3 permanent rivals. And I personally don't think Ole Miss, Missouri, or Arkansas are that bad.

Stop being afraid of a challenge. Someone is always gonna have to draw the short stick.

That's funny. You basically created a Division 1A and Division 2A within a single conference.

Why would the SEC willingly make it harder for the majority of their cash cows to make money for the conference? Nothing to do with shying away from a challenge. Your logic is flawed...per the usual.

You just want an easy draw like a loser. Who cares what Vanderbilt and Kentucky think. Isn't the whole point of all this expansion to get more money for the big boys. Why should we care what the bums think?

How is getting more eye balls on the TV screen going to make it harder for the conference to make money? Which game do you think will draw more viewers every season. Tennessee vs Georgia or Tennessee vs Kentucky?

Creating a division between the top dogs and the bottom feeders will actually help ratings by having more games between elite programs on TV to drive up ratings.

I voted Bama, UF and UK. Yeah Vandy's in state and an old rival but we can do without seeing them every year.
Who I'd really like for permanent rivals is Bama, UK, and Auburn.

I hope we keep Alabama, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt as annual opponents, but, if we can't keep both Kentucky and Vanderbilt, the restoration of the annual Auburn game would make a very nice consolation prize.

You should use your big boy words and learn that “you’re a loser” is a not an adult argument, as the rest of us did in middle school.

I never said what I “want.” I said what I think will happen, and provided reasons from the SEC to support that assertion.

If you weren’t either a mental midget or a fantastic impressionist of one, you’d have gleaned that from the words I typed instead of firing off another insecure juvenile post that provides you another opportunity to call people who disagree with you (or you perceive to disagree) losers. And the funny thing is, since you’re too dense to even understand my post, you don’t even know if I disagree with you.

They are a road apple.

Kentucky is the opponent against whom we've competed most often both in football and in basketball (and what they've given up in football, they've largely taken back in basketball). Kentucky is most certainly a rival.

I'm focusing on the "loser" aspect of this cause I know that's the real motivation behind everyone clamoring for Kentucky and Vanderbilt. If you really didn't want to play them and were projecting what would happen then the tone of your posts should reflect that. Instead there's a glee at getting an easy draw which comes from not only your post but most everyone else hoping we don't play Georgia and Florida.
