Where are the obligatory comments trashing the Aggie D? Yes they are very young but they've got some players back and are jelling.

Bama's o line is gonna have a street fight on their hands.

Well Tut, that's a great article and actually further proves what I was saying. You see womack is only the liaison and not the schedule maker. He talks about it on behalf of the conference and athletic directors.

You should focus on this part of the article.


quote:

SEC Digital Network: Who was involved in putting together the 2013 SEC conference football schedule and what additional groups had input?

Mark Womack: “It was a cooperative effort from all of our athletic directors to take the schedule and try to work through it, along with Larry Templeton and Mark Whitworth in our office. We use a scheduling group outside the office from a computer standpoint of trying to generate some things for us. At the end of the day, the cooperation of each athletic director in trying to make this work is vitall

The schedule threads by LSU fans will not stop until LSU can play 12 instate schools in Baton Rouge every Saturday night from September through November.

And Bama has to play 12 road games at schools ranked no less than 12.


I live and work in Alabama. All the Bama fans I work with agree that their schedule is fricking weak.

If you guys win look forward to playing Georgia and Florida probably somehow USCe on the road back to back next year and Bama the week after the LSU game.


Who did we piss off? We won four games last year and ended up with nearly this schedule other that UGA.

Here is the telling statement for all.

"Mark Womack: “They run different versions of what we give them as far as we’d like to keep certain games on certain dates and other parameters."

He just admitted that "CERTAIN" games are to preserved. End of story for fair scheduling.

No crap Sherlock. They don't want Bama/AU and MSU/OM, or the other OOC rivalry games to be played at anytime except at the end of the year. They also would like to keep the WLCP, TSOR and the TSIO around the same dates. Next year they will also want to keep LSU/aTm & Mizzou/Arky at the end of the year as well. But Larry Templeton and crew are the ones deciding who rotates on and off for the non-permanent cross-divisional games. So maybe the REC has corrupted Templeton?

It's really simple. Here is the contact page for the LSU athletic office. Since it is so blatantly obvious that the SEC and Alabama are conspiring call up LSU and as a tax paying citizen of Louisiana you demand that LSU leave the SEC for the Big XII, they would love to have you, or demand that Joe Alleva contact the 13 other SEC athletic directors and demand that Alabama is kicked out of the SEC and/or the entire SEC staff is replaced. It is very simple and easily done with a 13 out of 14 vote
