Wonder what Les would say.....

LSU has bitched more about scheduling than all other schools combined.

What would Nick Saban say to the SEC asking Bama to play Auburn on a Friday for the betterment of the SEC?

Our permanant rivals has had 2 coaches that have won National Championships with other teams...but you don't here us bitching

Michigan not playing Ohio State would be like Auburn not playing Bama

1/9 really has cooked Lester..

That has got to be the worst comparison I've ever seen.

What is with the LSU obsession on this board the past couple days?

My entire family went to UGA, so I like seeing LSU play them more than once every 12 years. Yeah, that's my personal preference but that doesn't mean we get to play them yearly. We're a 14 team conference. It's stupid to rarely play some teams in conference. Nobody outside the states of Alabama and Tennessee give a shite about the third Saturday in October because it's just not competitive anymore...just like nobody outside of Louisiana and Mississippi cares about LSU-Ole Miss (sorry Tennessee...not a dig at you guys, just a sad fact about the current state of your program). And Ole
Miss is one of our oldest rivalries. If Saban and Bama are really "for the better good of the conference", you'd understand this, but let's face it-y'all are all greedy. Seems like it's Y'ALL that are scared of having to face Florida more than once every decade. Schedule tough teams like LSU regularly does (and yes, I know y'all open with Michigan...congrats on manning up), and then maybe you can complain. We played and beat 3 BCS bowl champions last year...that's hardly running in fear. Geaux Tigers!

I think Les has been brainwashed by the LSU syndicate,

really now. the LSU syndicate? brainwashing has nothing to do with it. i want to play florida and bama every year but i also don't want to wait a friggin' decade to play the other east teams. it appears that bama, ut, uga and auburn are getting their way WHILE THE OTHER 10 TEAMS GET HOSED. i think the other 10 teams should be awarded "consideration" for y'all getting to PICK YOUR PERMANENT. the SEC should charge y'all money; easy to just give you less than an equal share of the pie, go to 9 conference games or TREAT YOU BASTARDS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE and go the 6-2. i guess you think my brain has been washed but you are like a titty baby that wants his way and when he gets it he calls everyone names.

Lots of football fans outside of the Big 10 pay attention to Ohio State and Michigan. The Tennessee-Alabama game hasn't meant squat in 40 yrs.

LSU and Florida don't crank either fanbase's tractor. Sure there have been some great games such as the 2007 game. But its funny that Alabama fans whine about LSU's concerns about Florida especially since LSU and Florida have met annually since 1971.LSU and Alabama have played every year since 1964 yet when anyone mentions that LSU and Alabama are "rivals" the entire Gump nation wets their collective pants with their brainwashed mantra "you aren't our rival!Stop saying you're our rival !" and then erupts into a temper tantrum. Yet the same Gumps think LSU and Florida should continue playing.

Alleva makes a good point. If Tennessee and Alabama just have to continue playing, play it every year as a non conference game when its not in the rotation. Of course 'Bama hypocrisy knows no boundaries as Tennessee wanted Alabama to agree to let them wear orange in Tuscaloosa in 2009 as the two did reguarly until 1971 and the NCAA had agreed to a rule for games such as Southern Cal-UCLA if both agreed to do so, but Alabama in its own self-asorbed, holier than thou way, shot that request down.
