For some reason nobody had any complaints until the past 2 or 3 years
Well the big deal now is they put Mizzou in the East for no damn good reason.
The out of division games shrinks to two which makes the issue worse.

Can LSU fans go one day without complaining about something related to Bama?
No, unpossible. Has been scientifically proven over and over here.

But it's suggested they shouldn't play every year, which is awful.
Why would it be awful? Is it being annual the most important thing about the rivalry (or Bama-Tenn)?

How good was it that Okie and Neb quit playing? How "good" would it be for Ohio St and Mich or ND/Mich or ND/USC?
Not all change is good. Take Lsu being fairly good lately. It's brought about a ton of whiny fans. Not good.

It addressed every point you made. You responded by crying. Again. Some Lsu fans are just wanting to get out of playing Florida. That's it. End of discussion. If yall had Georgia every year, you'd whine about that. If it were SC, it'd be them. NOBODY else's school has fanbases as womanlike as yall are when it comes to having to play teams. Nobody.
The point still stands after this idiotic statement.

Your only point.
It's not fair, Lsu has to play Fla every year.
That is the only constant in your arguments.

It limits teams playing the rest of the conference as often. It makes the scheduling less random making it more likely for some teams to have an easier out of division schedule. You have weird alignments(Mizzou) for no damn good reason.
Also the system is manipulated to appease a certain agendas instead of just setting things up unbiasedly and letting it work out.

This has happened one whole year so far.

Teams play more often NOW, than any other time in their past. There were times, decades passed before teams played one another. This was when there were only 10 teams. There wasn't all this crying then.

It would be better to ask their fans but it seems like Okie and Neb have survived. They still played regularly, and had some very important games, as members if the Big 12. They are free to schedule each other now that Nebraska left, but they haven't to my knowledge. Obviously it wasn't, and isn't, all that important to them.

You kinda sidestepped all of that. It hurt their conference when their rivalry stopped. It hurt their programs. College isn't pro, and the things that make it special, shouldn't be stripped away. Including rivalries.

We are trying to live in the present not the past man. Don't really give a shite about such a stupid argument that should have no bearing on decisions made today.
Just because something was stupid in the past shouldn't set our bar for stupidity extremely low. Sorry if I am setting the bar too high.

Did the conference control scheduling back then? Or was it just mandated that you had to play X number of conference games?

Then how can you argue that moving Mizzou to the East was making it an easier division?

You have yet to field a valid argument. You keep harping on "fair", but the overwhelming majority of the conference is happy and think it's fair. You say it's not fair 4 teams dictate the schedule because of rivalries, but then argue 3 teams should get what they want. You've done nothing but cry about having to play Fla. You have no other valid argument to back your reasoning.

Well it seems most people in Gump Nation didn't think it hurt the regular season when they got a mulligan and acted like last seasons LSU-Bama game didn't mean anything.

Honestly, that I don't know. I imagine it was somewhat controlled by AD's, as they had to fill their schedules with each other. I will say, I'm sure Bryant had a ton to do with how things fell then. Not every team played the same number of conference teams back then. Some played less than others. I know Bama played more than several in many yrs.

It's what the 14 SEC AD's decided. 13 of 14 agree, that Bama should get the easiest path every year and have a bias against Miles and Lsu.

Just because the majority voted a certain way doesn't mean it was a fair solution for all the teams of the conference in regards to competing for titles and scheduling. Is that really that hard of a concept?
The fact you keep ignoring this concept makes me feel you really are an idiot. It is like arguing with a liberal.

It had to do with you making a comment about this isn't the pros and respecting the regular season.
