I don't think anyone says that scheduling should not be looked at. But if the only solution offered is to give up historical rivalry games then you will receive major resistance.

Some fans whine about it, but you don't hear it coming from anyone else.

We love the Bama game. I guess you don't understand that because unlike UK we actually win games against them

Miles is the only coach with the balls to say what almost every other coach is thinking.

If only the fans took that approach
This is the dumbest statement i have ever heard. And i am from Louisiana, so i have heard some dumb things. As a fan, i Love playing florida and georgia. But, i can also say it is clear that the schedules play a large part in the SEC champion. That is a fact, not an opinion. I know there have been years in which LSU has benefited from this. But i believe with the money and resources SEC football has know, we need to correct this

You spelled Bert Billymuh wrong. He's the one that complains about things.

See, i can deal with this. This is a logical statement, and i agree. It is clear as day that the schedules dont make any sense, but it is also clear the rivalries are important

We went undefeated in what is arguably the most difficult schedule LSU has ever faced.

We can do it again.

I think those rivalries should be kept. There are ways to do it and keep the schedule balanced. I don't want us to have an easier schedule. I want to see us all have tough schedules. If nobody talks about it then it will never change. Its not whining its just pushing for change

Of course we can. But this doesnt change the fact that we should still strive for a better system

Really, the big six are paired, then everyone rotates, what doesn't make sense?

I am just tired of hearing LSU fans complain about it.

Oh the injustice, its not set up fair, we play ____ while Bama plays KY, woe is me.

If it gets brought up every now and then i'm fine, because I see the argument. But it is an every day affair and comes off whiney.

Only reason people complain about "whining" is because they love the easy schedule and having an easier shot at a championship.

year after year


You played UT and UK just two years ago as your rotating east opponents. The year before that it was UT and Vandy.

That was 10-14 (3-13) & 8-17 (4-12) combined teams.

Where is this "year after year" crap?

I love how they continuously complain but LOVE the challenge. The only thing they love is complaining about something Bama. If not this it'd be something else. eh, whatever. I'm just worried about Bama and taking care of business. I never remember hearing any complaints back in the 90's about our schedule but I guess that back in the day.
