Alabama also won 11 straight from 71-81.

Last year's Alabama-Tennessee game was one of the best in the SEC - as well as one of the highest rated. I don't see its appeal leaving any time soon.

You are 100% correct. These new SEC teams will never be the heart of the SEC historically, their opinions go in one ear and out the other.

Many bammers consider us their biggest rival.

A&M's only big rival these days is heterosexuality.

i know its not SEC related, but when mizzou-kansas quit playing fball, we had met 120 times


He also mentioned "top programs" as part of the criteria. Mizzou and Kansas aren't "top programs."

that means we will face teams like Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida only once every 12 years


I like you alright, and you guys claim to be smart, but you should have known we weren't going to stop being the SEC just because you joined. That wasn't even small print stuff there. Come on man.

UGA vs. AU is a big cross-division game as is UF vs. LSU.

Alabama is fine with playing 9 conference games. Some of you need to get your leaders to grow a pair and get OK with it too. The Pac/B1G are fixing to use that against us in the race for the playoffs if we don't get on board. I'd like to play every team more than once a decade like a conference is supposed to.

Georgia has 1 win this year.I believe Alabama shut them up last year when they thought they were good.Tennessee beat Georgia 9 years in a row,starting in 89.Chubb is good,but it is a long season

The one change I wish Bama would get on board with in relation to the TSIO is to agree to allow both teams to wear home jerseys in the game.

Why not? There's no chance anyone could confuse orange with crimson. Home unis and frick LSU. We all agree.

On this, we agree. Love it when that happens, personally.

Let's play it out until Tennessee forfeits a game to Bammer.

Thanks for saying that.

Of course UA and UT are really head and shoulders over all the other SEC programs over time.
