Jeff Schultz: Deep South's Oldest Rivalry at risk
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I liked it better when it was just ut and bama that were gonna lose their shitty little rivalry.
>>>
North,
Bama/UT is the cream of the crop of southern rivalries. Not as many games as AU/UGA, but more with bigger implications. But this is a time to come together and protect both of these games. I agree, let the Iron Bowl go. The state can't seem to handle it and it doesn't have the history of these other games. I do realize this won't happen because of money, but that's how I feel.

Have also seen a proposal to totally realign the conference into a North/South kind of thing.

ACC Announces Future Regular-Season Scheduling Formats
Conference schedules will go to nine games in football and 18 in basketball; League will sponsor 26 sports with new 14-member structure.
Football:
The Atlantic and Coastal divisions will remain the same with Syracuse joining the Atlantic and Pitt joining the Coastal. The current primary crossover partners will remain consistent with Syracuse and Pitt becoming primary crossover partners with each other.
When Pitt and Syracuse join the ACC, the league will play a nine-game conference schedule. The format will consist of each team playing all six in its division each year, plus its primary crossover partner each year and two rotating opponents from the opposite division. This six-year cycle allows each team to play each divisional opponent and its primary crossover partner six times (three home and three away) while also playing each rotating crossover opponent two times (one home and one away).

Yeah. Hell, the Headland area has just been crime central lately. You had that murder, then a week later the Headland 5-0 killed an apparently mentally deranged guy. Now, some thugs from Dothan took a guy to Tumbleton, robbed him, shot him and buried him in a shallow grave.

more likely we'll end up with a four division, 16 team SEC in fairly short order. It is just a much easier system to manage and rotate through than two divisions with seven teams
Something like this maybe:
SEC SW:
LSU (Florida)
Arkansas (Virginia Tech)
Texas A&M (Missouri)
Ole Miss (Miss State)
SEC NW:
Alabama (Tennessee)
Auburn (Georgia)
Missouri (Texas A&M)
Miss State (Ole Miss)
SEC NE:
Tennessee (Alabama)
Virginia Tech (Arkansas)
NC State (South Carolina)
Vanderbilt (Kentucky)
SEC SE:
Florida (LSU)
Georgia (Auburn)
South Carolina (NC State)
Kentucky (Vanderbilt)
Permanent out of division opponents are in parentheses

I just hope everything is on the table. There's literally not a team in the West I would be overly upset about losing, and I look forward to UGA/AU as well for the same reasons I do TSIO.

Yeah, I've been facebook stalking a lot of the circumstances/posts surrounding the retarded dude getting shot by the cops, and all the blacks wanting to protest it. You've got blacks challenging other blacks to fights because one took up for the cops. Same thread another guy is threatening to shoot any cops that mess with him in the future. Good shite!

I stand corrected RE: the ACC.
I just don't see the return on playing 9 conference games. The most important reason for not doing this is how unfair it is from year to year. Half of the teams get 5 road conference games and the other half get 4.

Yeah, I need to see if they filmed the City Council meeting, I heard it was interesting.

The Iron Bowl (And UA) can go wither away in college football oblivion.
We better not lose the UGA game.

If they screw up Bama/Tenn and Au/Ga every year, they may as well go ahead and move Auburn to the east and forget instate rivalries too.
THIS x1000000

You totally took both my points out of context but I'll just address your first point. When I was defending the series to the AU fan who was degrading it, I didn't just make an unqualified statement such as 'Bama/UT is the cream of the crop because I like it more.' I said it was better than UGA/AU in terms of having hosted more games with bigger implications on the line. Ie, much more than with UGA/AU, The TSIO game featured one or two teams that was the South's (and often times country's) team to beat that particular year.
I think that's kind of a fact and we could go back and review the classics in both series, but I think the easiest way to prove my point is to look at SEC Championships as the indicator of which was the team to beat in a particular year. Bama/UT have combined for 35 SEC titles. UGA/AU have 19. Thus that is a nearly 2:1 ratio in favor of TSIO showcasing the South's premier program for that year. Pretty lopsided.
It hasn't been very competitive for half a decade, but that's just how this series goes. The streakiness is uncanny. To summarize, not slamming UGA/AU as I look forward to that game each year, but the above are simply facts. They are both great series that need to continue.
ETA: this was in response to AUnite's last post. I can't figure out the quote function on this forum!

A. This should happen if we can't play in conference anymore
B. To answer your question, it would only be rivaled by Alabama scheduling two end of the year games at Hawaii when the NCAA told us we had a two-year bowl ban

I'd rather keep the UGA rivalry than the Ironbowl, though Auburn fans would shoot me for saying that. I think this rivalry needs a cooling off period right now.

Exactly. The East schools only had sporadic history with UT prior to the divisions, there would not be an issue if they moved and Auburn came East. The old rivalries are preserved and we can get back the UF-AU rivalry that was lost the last time schedules were mixed up.

I'm glad there are UF fans who actually know/remember this.
