Bella is a woman. I know that's not relevant but it's bugging me seeing her referred to as "he."

I didn't know this and it really doesn't matter.

He seems to think they had a vote on "fairness" and 11 voted accordingly. I hope he was there to explain to them what the word meant though. I'm not sure I fully comprehended the nuances of the word until this thread. He taught me that placing an inflection on the word when I speak shows me that it means something different to everyone. He enlightened me.

You can dream of my example that you chose to ignore so purposefully.

Imagine if I'd started referring to him as a she.

You lost it a while back when I made a twilight joke so of course I thought you were a guy. Then you knew all about it later in that thread and compromised yourself. I should have know then.

Bella is a special breed. I hope to marry a girl like her someday, but obviously a hog fan and not some crazy gump.

When we lost in undergrad and I had some date that didn't give a frick and was like "Get over it, we're going to the bar..." I would just leave her. Good thing some of our best years was when I was in school.

I would tolerate that if she was good looking enough if we're just talking about dating.

When exactly has playing Florida kept you out of an important game?
Only twice has losing to Florida kept LSU out of the SECCG, in 1996 and 2006. Losing to LSU has kept Florida out of it more often, at least four times, in 1997, 2002, 2005 and 2007.

you'll never get a direct, honest answer to the issue of scheduling fairness. nor will you get a concession of the moral high ground.
you will get tons of deflection: whiners, scardy cats, only one fan base cares, that wasn't my post, take the vote like a man, we didn't get what we wanted, we must honor tradition, and on and on and on.
You won't get the answer you want because you're ignoring the answer given because you don't like the reasoning behind it. LSU fans are convinced the other SEC schools who agreed to the scheduling format did so because their sole motivation was to preserve an easier schedule and therefore easier wins. Alabama/Auburn/Georgia/Tenneseee fans are clearly stating they were interested in preserving tradtional rivalries that are very important to them. The idea of protecting those rivalries has nothing to do with ensuring an easier schedule but preserving 100+ year old traditions.
There also seems to be a misconception that fans are necessarily happy with the 6-1-1 format simply because they are trying to explain the reasoning behind it. I actually much prefer a 6 division-1 permanent-2 rotating schedule myself as it allows the league to keep basically the same setup we've had for years now. If LSU and Florida have a huge gripe with their game I think it's reasonable to compromise there and allow them a new permanent that doesn't wreck either traditional or natural rivalries. That pretty much limits LSU to either Kentucky or Vandy and Florida to either A&M, Ole Miss, or Mississippi State. That should eliminate some of the "fairness" issues LSU has with their schedule.
The issue with an 8 game conference vs 9 game conference schedule has always been about potential revenue loss that would arise from most league schools losing home games under a 9 game conference schedule. A home OOC game is lost by every team every year and often isn't replaced. This is a factor that seems to be totally overlooked by some folks who think SEC leaders can simply snap their fingers and go to a 9 game league schedule and there not be any negative reprecussions with this. The trick is working the non conference schedule of each school to ensure that few if any teams drop below the 7 home games a year they typically have now. If you can figure that part out then a 9 game league schedule will likely gain full support of the league.

Well said.
Tiger Authority is very caught up on this idea of fairness which I can understand. I might feel the same way if I were an LSU fan (God forbid). But the reality is that sometimes the fairest solution for each school does not equal the best solution for the conference. The fairest way to divide up the money produced would be to do so according to how much money each school brought in. The fair thing would be for Ole Miss to receive a much smaller share than Bama or LSU but that would not be the best thing for the conference because having 14 strong programs is what's best for the conference as a whole. Same thing with scheduling. Each of the big 6 is paired with another member of the big 6 as a permanent cross division game. This means that the little 8 schools have to play the big 6 less frequently allowing them more opportunity to have successful seasons. The more successful seasons the little 8 have the stronger their programs will be and the stronger the conference will be.

Many of you people that want this format don't realize that the LSU-Florida rivalry is probably going to be the most significant rivalry in the SEC over the next 20 or 30 years because both teams will consistently be among the most talented and highly ranked teams in the nation. So most LSU fans do not want to do away with the game completely. But it is asinine for conference officials to event present a format that doesn't afford its members the opportunity to play each other more than one out of every 6 yrs. No conference in the history of sports has featured such a ridiculous setup. And all of this to reserve the right to play one game? That's just really stupid hillbilly logic that could hurt the credibility of the conference down the road.
