re: LSU, UF… Just Man Up and Stop Whining - Permanent Opponents Article

It's not a Bama fan bringing this up, the article clearly states:

Today, the SEC’s athletic directors will meet and Tiger AD Joe Alleva will once again claim that LSU faces a disadvantage because his school is forced to play Florida each and every season as its permanent opponent. That game, of course, has become one of the best on the SEC’s schedule and television execs have paid the league pretty darn well for that schedule over the past five years.

Florida officials aren’t thrilled with the prospect of having to play an East Division schedule and LSU each year, but the volume on Gainesville groaning hasn’t reached LSU proportions yet. That’s ironic considering Florida has more to complain about.

I can't wait to see how the vote goes this year. It will be interesting to see if Alleva/Miles were able to sway a few more SEC AD's over to their side.
