Is it being annual the most important thing about the rivalry
Uhhh...yeah. UGA/AU have played every year since 1892 except for world war. It's not "The south's pretty old rivalry that they play every 4 years". The reason it's so steeped in tradition and history is because they play every single year.

Just because the majority voted a certain way doesn't mean it was a fair solution for the teams of the conference. Is that really that hard of a concept?
3 schools shouldn't dictate what an entire conference does. That's more unfair than more teams wanting to keep a rivalry. You've yet to address anything, beyond not wanting to play Fla. Their schlongs must be huge the way you've built them up and the fear you've shown to have to play them every year.

Hunter I will say it's bullshite that we haven't played at Lexington since 07, and bama played there in 09. While UGA played LSU in Athens in 09 and last played bama in Athens in 08. Those two should have been switched around for next year.
I'm excited about the Athen's trip though!

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.
I didn't sidestep anything. You left out the small detail of their conference ceasing to exist. Both played for multiple NCs as members of the Big 12.
When are they set to play again? Obviously this should have been item #1 on the scheduling agenda when Nebraska moved to the Big 10.

NOBODY else's school has fanbases as womanlike as yall are when it comes to having to play teams. Nobody.
Clearly some very rational arguments there.

We were in line to play Ga this season. The expansion caused the conflict this year. As I stated earlier. It's been a one yr issue so far. This argument this thread created has been a multi year issue.
And I look forward to playing Ga and Fla as well. I just don't want to give up Tn. I have no prob when we have to play 2 of the three in the same year.

He's right, Alabama never complains about schedules. :byeweekbitchfest:

Maybe because it hurt the conference to not have traditional powers playing their conference games. You lose something.
Tell me how it hurts college football for teams to have yearly rivalries and how it's hurt the SEC.

Well we were suppose to play at UK this year. Instead we got SC in BR.

How's this for a VALID point....in the 2 "bridge scheduled" seasons {2012,2013}, Bama gets Mo and KY while LSU gets....SC and GA....HOW is that possible...?

Again, 14 SEC AD's approved that in transition scheduling. Do you have insight to open dates and available dates that would have worked out better for all six schools involved? That would have taken into account home and away game totals along with those open dates?

We've already beat one, UGA won't be too tough. They will have fired Richt twice by then anyways.

I doubt the SEC or college football would skip a beat without UT-Bama or UGA-AU.

It was just a question out of curiosity. I can certainly see how important it is.
With that being said, I expect the entire conference to be up in arms with us if they ever try to chane anything with the LSU - State series since that game has been played more times and for more consecutive years than Alabama - Tennessee. I'm sure everyone would deeply oppose any change that involved something happening to that game, right?

Wouldn't care at all if it didn't harm the TSIO or Iron Bowl or Au/Ga.

you forgot to mention this past weekend
SEC needs to force teams to play the OOC games before November IMO
that sucked Saturday and frankly is a joke. It's the end of the season, SEC teams should be playing SEC teams

The question remains. How does it hurt the SEC or college football?

Typical response ....DIVERTING from the OBVIOUS bias bama seems to continually benefit from...unbelieveably that you gumps absolutely cannot recognize bias when it's soooooo clearly presented to you...LOL
