Regardless if you think Tennessee will be back or not, it will then just make the schedule imbalanced the other way. I don't want an advantage for LSU, I want equitable scheduling.

You're making Tennessee's argument for them.
his argument was we (as LSU fans) should have been worried about results from the 90s like tenn beating alabama, florida beating tenn, etc. that doesn't make any sense when you aren't winning all your games against the MSU and Ole Miss types
Tennessee has lost the recruiting advantage they once had over most of the SEC and can no longer grab kids from all over the country at will.
Getting a solid coach would help them no doubt. But investing in resources and facilities doesn't help Tennessee today like it did LSU in the 200s because everyone has nice facilities now.

Three in a Row, bitch.
21-0,
21-17,
38-17.
Also, the IB loss and AU's resurgence just goes to prove my point further...
All football programs ebb and flow. It is the nature of the game.
edit: If we get to seven in a row against LSU, should we just drop them from the schedule?

I would think bama fans would be tired of always playing a weak schedule.
Last year seemed like it would have sucked being a bama fan. Only a couple of games to get excited about all year. I know I only watched one full bama game last year and only parts of 3-4 games.
Half the fun of the season is looking forward to a big game all week before the game, then being excited on Saturday for a big game against a good team. Bama last year was like meh, who else is playing at that time, almost all year.

LSU has won 9 of the past 14. Not bad.

That AU is flowing and bama is ebbing. Got it.

I'm liking the flow LSU has been on this century.

This is really the only thing with me.
Yea, I love the Florida game, but that game is like 5th on games I don't want to lose. Vandy is no care either way, but I think it will be 10 years or so between LSU playing them.
The only games I truly care to play every year are Bama, Auburn, Ole Miss, and A&M. I want to play Mizzou, so it feels like we are the same conference.
Won't happen, but I would love 10 SEC games. 6-2-2. Auburn gets to renew their yearly rivalry with Florida. Hopefully LSU would get Mizzou, or USC this time though. Not UK.

Bama has won 5 of the past 7 , pretty good.
Bama has a 48-25-5 lead in the total series. Bama had a 30 year streak of not losing in Baton Rouge.
So congrats on that little mini run y'all had in the early to mid 2000 without it the series would be pitiful. No wonder BAMA doesn't really consider y'all a rival.

I am hoping for better schedules soon. I'm tired of neutral site games (boring IMO). Also ready for UT to get back to relevancy so I can get pumped for that game again. AU, aTm, and LSU will always be great games.

I may not speak for all LSU fans, but I have no problem playing Florida every year, actually enjoy the game; however, if we're going to have permanent cross-division opponents and be forced to play every team within the division every year, then there needs to be 9 conference games, with 2 rotating cross-divisional games, like it used to be prior to the addition of A&M and Missouri. It has less to do with the "fairness" of schedules and more to do with me thinking it's stupid to have a format where you only play non-permanent cross-division teams once every 7 years. If you're going to be in the same conference with other teams, players should be given the opportunity to play every team in the conference during the 4-5 years they're in the program.
I'm actually completely on board with Saban in his preference for a 9 game SEC schedule. Other conferences do it. There's no reason the SEC shouldn't. I'm also sick of these neutral site games. Sure there's a lot of money to be gained, but there are intangibles with playing H/H non-conference games, especially for the fans.

And unless every team plays every other team in SEC every year, this isn't possible due to the variances of every team from year to year.

All of this could have been avoided if we hadn't added Mizzou and A&M. I blame them.

Cause having to play big bad 4-8 Florida was super unfair

I agree. It was one of the main reasons I didn't want to add them because I had a feeling the SEC and league ADs would never vote to add an additional conference game and, consequently, future scheduling would become a nightmare.

because if we remove them then it wont take 6 years to play every team in the SEC and 12 years to play at every SEC stadium. For example, if everything remains the same, then LSU wont play AT Georgia again for 12 more years. Something has to change

LSU still has yet to play Mizzou, and they've been in the conference two years now. That's unreal.

LSU is able to see through the faux outrage of other teams in regards to losing supposed rivalry games.

it's not completely possible but a 9 game schedule with 3 rotating games against the other division is FAR more equitable than a permanent opponent system. You play a home and home with every team in the conference every 4 years.
