LSU had just played UK in 2011. Plus before the additions UGa was scheduled rotate on LSUs schedule last year anyway. Just like UK was scheduled to rotate onto Bama's.
It wasn't some grand conspiracy you tinfoil tigers want it to be...
Carry on, I'm not arguing anymore with a tinfoiler

well there were "supposed" to be 2 rotating east teams on each schools schedule, it's interesting which teams magically disappeared and which ones stuck around. We end up with UGA and Florida and Bama ends up with Tennessee and Kentucky
oh and the head of scheduling went to Alabama

With a normal rotation LSU was due to play kentucky in 2011 and 2012, they did not play kentucky either 2012 or 2013. With a normal rotation Alabama was due to play Kentucky after they finished playing LSU in cross divisional games.
RE: UGA? Alabama was due to play them before LSU as they had last played in the regular season of 2008 and LSU had last played them in the regular season of 2009.

No Bama fan will discuss the SEC's bye game rule....hmmmmm wonder why?
Posted on 7/27/14 at 5:06 pm to Golfer
because they protested having to just beat the teams on their schedule
Posted on 7/27/14 at 5:07 pm to Golfer
Don't care if every team has a bye before Bama. Never seen any facts backing up any true advantage it gives.

Three in row.
BTW, there is no schedule that can fix your problem.
(Just in case you haven't figured it out yet, your real problem is that Alabama under Saban is very good. Sorry for being good with your old coach.)

well your coach, who also excuses losses that come in "consolation games", sure complained a lot about it and that's okay, but if Alleva says something about the schedules he's a huge whiner

Did you even read the article? It clearly states that Templeton is in charge of creating the schedules. You've been brain damaged by the repeated misinformation
Larry Templeton, the former AD at Mississippi State, was indeed the head of a committee that dealt with SEC scheduling after expansion.
That committee and its decisions were overseen by Mark Womack, executive associate commissioner of the SEC. ( LINK LINK)
The evidence is everywhere, but here are some quotes from people involved in the process that give a clear indication of Mark Womack's role.
Verge Ausberry, Associate AD at LSU, said:
“I don't think Mark Womack sits up there and says, I'm going to do this to make Alabama the favored school to win it. I don't think that happens at all.”
Herb Vincent, associate SEC commissioner, said:
"Mark Womack does not autonomously make the schedule. The schedules are reviewed and approved by the 14 athletic directors. Every institution is involved in determining the schedules."
If you believe that Mark Womack had nothing to do with the bridge schedules, then you are the one who is brain damaged.

You guys have won how many straight?
7 in a row currently. UT beat Bama 7 in a row as well from 1995-2001. College football is very cyclical, even for big programs. Bama looked like a dead program that would never come back for most of the late 90's- mid 2000's. The big programs fall but they always seem to come back. LSU fans of all people should know this. UT will be back. All it takes is the right coach.

Because playing Florida is hard man! And UT can't compete with Alabama.
Funny thing is that LSU fans were not complaining when Fulmer was beating Alabama on a regular basis and they got to play Zook for a few years.

Alleva has that perception because he never gets anything he wants. He's continuously bullied. I don't know how that is any fault of Bama fans, though.

As a season ticket holder, I love this game and would hate for this game to not be in TS every other year. I'm sure there are Florida fans that feel the same way.

All the evidence anyone needs of this is just to look back through the history of the series. It is full of streaks.
I personally can remember holding up a number 7 sign in Neyland when I was young teenager (signifying the 7th game in a row we had won in that streak)
I can also remember seeing their fans holding up 7s in our stadium seven years later.
In addition to our series being streak heavy and cyclical... historically Tennessee is THE traditional power in the east. It is a fact.
Overall, Tennessee's tradition of winning football is second only to Alabama in the SEC and that is why we will always play each other. Might as well just get over it.

We understand that Tn. is a bottom-feeder program now.
We just don't like when they get to play all of the cellar-dwellers from the east.
I find it disturbing that Tn. is struggling to stay ahead of Ky. and Vandy.

None of the chiming in from Tennessee fans during these discussion ever makes any sense to me. During the 90s LSU sucked and was getting beaten like a step child by Florida... we didn't care so much about Florida raping Tennessee or Tennessee beating Alabama because we sucked and even teams like Ole Miss and MSU were winning games against us.
Since LSU KO'ed Tennessee in 2001 their program hasn't been the same frankly. Tennessee has only beaten Bama when they've been bad (which is not an excuse for Bama since I don't care about either program), Florida and LSU have played some amazing games in a highly competitive series, and especially of late Bama has beaten down a beaten up Tennessee program.
It is what it is. Any betting person with a functional forebrain would bet on Florida, UGA, Alabama, LSU and perhaps USC, A&M, and Auburn to be more successful than Tennessee over any time period for the future. If Tennessee were to land an elite coach they would really be in a serious dogfight to keep him and he'd likely be interested in leaving for an easier place to win

I also remember when LSU was a bottom feeder. It was not that long ago either.

Exactly.... that is our point. You can't discredit their program because of a down period. They will be back, just like us.

All of this BS was said about us when we were replacing Shula. Look at us now.
