re: Auburn should be in the SEC East.

quote:

---

I'm still not sure WHY we would add OU and OSU.

If they're a package deal, there's a good chance we wouldn't even bother. No addition to the TV footprint.

Someone else came up with that scenario, I just went with it.

Auburn has just as much history with State, LSU and Bama as it does with Georgia, Florida and Tennessee. You still get your most played rivalry every year in Georgia. Auburn is in the West, get over it.

Average number of Auburn matchups with East teams: 49

Average number of Auburn matchups with West teams: 48.3

The point of reordering the divisions in my other scenario was because you have to. You don't have a choice. You can't add OU and OSU and put one in the East and one in the West. At that point, teams will have to concede some rivalries. It just simply has to happen.

You're basing that logic of 2 western teams in.....but how about 2 EASTERN teams?

Depends on which two teams. Give me two teams to add and I'll give you what the ideal divisions would look like.

Are you fricking dense?

No, I'm just sick of seeing conference re-alignment threads, especially when they effectively kick LSU out of the SEC.

I do not want add them. I was just playing along with that idea...Youre just being an idiot that's incapable of understanding a conversation.

---

I'm not an idiot, I just don't feel compelled to "play along" with idiocy.

LSU (which seems to be the only thing you consider).

---

I merely objected strongly to the idea of putting LSU in a division with Arkansas, A&M, Mizzou, Oklahoma, Okie State and the Mississippi scrubs. I'm CERTAIN that if the same fate were suggested for Auburn, you would object strongly, hell, you're objecting to being in a division with mostly SEC founders and your most hated rival, imagine if it were constantly suggested to throw Auburn into a division with FSU, NC State, Clemson, GIT, USCe, Vandy and KY. We'd hear you howl clear over here.

Ironically it's YOU who seems to be only concerned with Auburn.

So you're arguing with me who didn't start a realignment thread?

I'm not an idiot, I just don't feel compelled to "play along" with idiocy.

So again, why are you arguing with me? If you don't like the idea of OU and OSU, how about going after the guy who proposed that in the first place. Like I said, I was just playing along.

If it made the most sense for the conference as a whole no I wouldn't like it but I'd probably be fine with it.

You've yet to give me a reason why my initial realignment was a bad idea for anyone in the conference. You accuse me of thinking the exact thing you're thinking (even though I've typed no such thing) and then you somehow come up with the idea that I'm only concerned about Auburn and you're not only concerned with LSU. Tell me how that makes sense.

quote:

---

So again, why are you arguing with me?

---

Because, if I'm not mistaken, you were the one who posted this:

LSU
OK
Okie Lite
Mizzou
Arky
A&M
Miss Scrubs

That's what I responded to.

quote:

---

Like I said, I was just playing along.

---

That's another reason I responded to you. In the future, just don't.

If it made the most sense for the conference as a whole no I wouldn't like it but I'd probably be fine with it.

Maybe I'm mistaking you for some other Aubie, but aren't you one of the ones proposing moving Auburn to the east? Why not just be fine with the way shite is now? After all, it's best for the conference.

But I swear, every time going forward I see someone propose this shite again:
LSU
OK
Okie Lite
Mizzou
Arky
A&M
Miss Scrubs

(and it pops up a LOT) I'm going with the throw said team into a division with FSU, NC State, Clemson, GIT, USCe, Vandy and KY and see how they respond.

So forgive me for responding so vehemently to throwing LSU out of the conference, but I bet any fan of a founding member would respond likewise.

It's not the best for all involved. It's the best for Auburn, and more specifically you because you don't want to make 1 long road trip a year.

I like them as they are. All rivalries are intact. We have the worst travel, but it won't be much better in the West and our travel is going to suck for the most part.

Even years we only have one long trip. Odd years it's two, maybe 3 depending on our west draw. Wouldn't be much different, could be worse depending on our new permanent partner if we headed West.

We just switched conferences 4 years ago, and I don't want to switch divisions already again.

I'm not wasting 5 hours driving to the boonies to see StarkVegas or go to an away game in Oxford where last call is at 12.
