This morning on the radio.
On 9 games
On permanent opponents
On 9 games
quote:
"A nine game schedule is coming and coming in the very near future for our league. There are certain folks in this league that have been against it, but those issues should be resolved. As you all know I've been a very vocal proponent of a nine-game league schedule over the years. It should be finalized in the coming months. We're still ironing a few things out.
On permanent opponents
quote:
"There's been talk about competitive imbalance in regards to permanent opponents, but there's a group of us in this league that have been very firm in our belief that they are here to stay. That's not something we're flexible on in any way, whether we had stayed with eight games or not, that wasn't something that was going to change. We had made that very clear, that wasn't going to be something we were open to. It's too important for our university, our players and our fans. As someone who's been both places, the Alabama game is a game that's a special deal to both sides and it's one of the games that sets the SEC apart from other leagues. Auburn and Georgia are with us on that deal too. We have a majority of the league, so it's really not an issue that should be talked about moving forward. We're going to play them."

Good. I always look forward to the LSU - Florida game.

This is good news to all.
If we play a 6-2-1 then no one can bitch

6-2-1 is the way to go. Keep permanent opponents, rivalries are what make CFB so awesome. Good to see this. Gonna be fun reading that incoming anger too.

And we know the plain and simple reason that you do. So LSU-Florida will just have to stay even though there's no traditional rivalry there like UGA/AU and Alabama/Tennessee.

I'm glad they are here to stay. I have always looked forward to the Florida game every year since I can remember (and those weren't pretty games as an LSU fan). It wasn't until recently that the Bama game actually meant more to most LSU fans.
And I don't know why the Bama UT game is always the keepsake when talking about the permanent opponents. IMO, UGA vs AU >>>>>> Bama vs UT

It's about time.

6-2-1 is the way to go.

I don't get why LSU and UF have to play each other, or why that is any one else's fault. Can't they both just pick new perm opponents?
Posted on 3/21/14 at 8:23 am to volfan30
Too bad we can't go back to a 10 game league and just do a true round robin. That's the only way for fair competitive balance in scheduling every year.
