I know I speak from a unique position as someone who is a fan of a team winning all the time, therefore I can brush off things like this, but I really do just want to see more fun games that are interesting and historical.

I like watching Auburn-Florida and Auburn-Tennessee. I'd LOVE to go back to playing Georgia more often. I don't have anything against Arkansas or Missouri or Texas A&M, those games just don't pack the same punch that a home game or a road trip to Athens or Knoxville do.

I'm content moving to the East to play Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Auburn every year knowing it's a tougher division and that LSU or whoever may have a much easier time on the other side.


I couldn't agree more, aubby brings nothing to the table for us except Gus, nothing like LSU, Bama or A&M. Your just kind of that other alabama team, I'm all for the move

Pack 'em up and let 'em go. Just solidify a 9 game SEC schedule and it's a done deal.

Now, every fan with the exception of us Gumps need to petition your AD's & Presidents to vote for the 9 game schedule in Destin this summer. Make your leaders support the wishes of the fan base once and for all!

If they don't vote for change, then things stay status quo and this same old shite will be regurgitated again next off-season.

I agree completely. The game against Ark is an afterthought with most AU fans. It was fun when Petrino was there, but other than that it is just a game you look forward to get out of the way. Same with Ole Miss. MSU is a longtime opponent, but there is no rivalry or hate between the fanbases (minus Cam issues). LSU is a fun rivalry but not deep seated in history, the SEC screwed up by not forcing teams to play each other prior to 92. AU fans loved the games with TN and UF every year and would travel well to those games.
