UGA wont keep GT & AU both at home or both away.


GT is not SEC, so no one cares

but seriously, the SEC isnt really concerned about OOC games or locations

And when the schedule is not even based off of a rotation


The schedule is still following the old rotation as closely as possible. Obviously things change when you bring in two new teams, and the biggest change (and reason for a weak Alabama schedule last year) was the desire to give the two new teams the most marquee cross-division home game possible (Alabama @ Mizzou, UF @ A&M)

It's awesome that some of you seriously think one guy is solely responsible for making out the SEC schedule, and he does so at random.

With UGA going to AU in back to back years, it will most likely be a return of AU to UGA in back to back years.

And if you think that it doesn't matter to the presidents & AD's whether or not they get a favorable rotation with their biggest rivals your crazy. Ill guarantee UGA will Alternating home-away with GT & AU, doesn't matter if its SEC or not.

Absolutely. With UF never playing there, you'd have a season where UF, GT, and AU dont go to Athens...no sir.

then it will UGA and GT who work that out. The SEC does not care who or where you play your OOC games. plain and simple.

Just saying look for it to be bama who changes the H/A with AU and not UGA.

So fans never travel to road games?

Texas A&M requested that their home games be on Thanksgiving, and the SEC granted that request. LSU requested that their home games not be on Thanksgiving, and the SEC granted that request. You both got what you requested, yet LSU fans still bitch. Yall would find a way to bitch if the SEC let yall play 8 home Saturday night games against the opponents of your choice.
Looks like BOTH teams got exactly what they wanted in this matchup. I don't understand why LSU fans are bitching, they got what they wanted and aTm got what they wanted.

Sounds like LSU saying that we won't play on Thanksgiving, no sir.

Well this year is Ole Miss' second straight to play in Tuscaloosa, so the SEC wouldn't send them back in 2014. Tennessee wouldn't play at Alabama twice in a row (although UGA made the sacrifice @AU twice), so that leaves Arky and LSU as the candidates for that. I'm sure LSU would've been happy traveling to Alabama twice in a row just so Alabama could play at UF. So Florida comes on to the schedule for Alabama like you wanted, but logically the game is at Alabama and that makes you angry. What SEC East power is LSU going to next year? Kentucky? Again, yall bitch about everything.


So it wouldn't have been unheard of to send UT back to Tuscaloosa. They wouldn't have had any say in it.

Then Florida would've had five home games, then what? Tennessee would've had five road games. You're going to send UF to Tennessee twice in a row and Tennessee to Alabama twice in a row all for the sake of making Alabama go to Florida for the second straight time in the series? Yea, let's completely re-arrange the schedule because the logical play of having Florida go to Alabama isn't enough to satisfy you bitch LSU fans.

Quite a big difference playing on thanksgiving , and not playing at home against at least 1 of your 3 biggest rivals.

Of course GT is usually a home game anyway, without the gate.

So in spite of all the yapping about Alabama's schedule, what actually happened was that they had two tough games...two with Georgia...repaced with two tough games with aTm, an easy road game at Vandy replaced with an easy road game at Missouri, and an easy home game with Kentucky replaced with a tough home game with Florida. And Florida ends up rotating back on the schedule one year early. So, again, what was this great Alabama scheduling conspiracy?
