There doesnt really seem to be anyone else bitching.
This thread is about quotes from Steve Spurrier. One of the most storied coaches of all time. And let's go find big D gator.
Or the other UF fan a couple pages ago.
Hell, even spacewrangler agreed a few pages ago.
To say it's only LSU fans bitching about this is ignorant. They even had an ESPN segment on it the other day for crying out loud.

All SEC schedules aren't created equal. We should try to reform scheduling, while also preserving traditional rivalries, with the objective being more equal scheduling practices.
All reasonable, intelligent people agree with the above statement(s). Everyone is pretty much on board with the above. Currently we are in the brainstorming phase of scheduling reform and just trying to figure out what everyone collectively will agree to. It's only a matter of time before a solution is agreed to which is in the best interest of everyone going forward.

How would you do that? Scheduling now(after 92') is more fair than it ever was before
But that shouldn't prevent us from making it better going forward, especially given the recent expansion.
If there is a way to preserve traditional rivalries (Bama-UT, Aub-UGA) as well as incorporate a more fair scheduling setup, why would anyone object? It seems like a no-brainer to me. What is there to even object to?
That'd be like people objecting to an overhaul of the IRS and taxcode to make taxes a smoother process. Who the frick is going to object to progress?

Correct. None of this shite has anything to do with timing of games.
NYCAuburn trolled his way into that one.
It's really no big deal in the big scheme of things.

I really despise threads like this because they make me agree with Tennessee fans.

Absolutely. But for some people to have the nerve to actually think that these traditions are more important than correcting the current flaws, is ridiculous.
The SEC is starting to get a bad rep with all this shite. There is no way these bridge schedules should be enforced into 2015.
But change is coming. The media is involved. Big name coaches are involved. Slive has addressed it and made it clear that they can only protect these rivalries for so long.

unless they go to the roommate switch proposal - which would let Aub/UGA and Bama/UT etc continue to play while doing a good job of balancing the schedules.
failing that I don't see what's wrong with the OOC game proposal. Of the four teams only UGA plays a rival BCS team OOC every year (and Ga Tech is not really threatening to turn into a real football program)

I been trying to tell e'rybody....
The thing is, I am old enough to remember how FSU and Miami got in a bunch of Championship games by playing no one. That was when no one paid attention to strength of schedule. They would win one or two big games and get in, which is just what Bama did last year.

I just personally think if we're going to expand as a conference we need to get rid of cross divisional games.
Why even expand if everyone isn't going to play each other consistently?

Um, since when is Spurrier still relevant?

Since USCe puts top 10 teams on the field.
You don't have to go 3/4 in NCs to be relevant.
And you must be younger than me. To state that OBC is irrelevant so therefore we shouldn't take his opinions to heart...

I believe one of the stipulations for expansion is that it would not interrupt certain cross-division rivalries. If it was that big of a consideration, it leads me to believe that they won't be going away anytime soon
