Why would the other 14 members accept less money(vs adding a school in Va or NC) to let in a team that spurned us at the altar the first time?


I am kind of tired of the geographical footprint being the driving force behind expansion. I know money drives everything, but I don't really want the SEC to lose its Southeastern identity. I would just rather have FSU and Clemson, than Virginia and NC State (or whatever) just for the sake of having a team in Virginia and NC.

Not scared, but why?

We love Jacksonville, neutral site, tradition, better atmosphere than Athens, better hotels, less fleas, better resturants, less dogfood.
52-17 in last visit. Maybe we should play there more often.

Dude, RIGHT, mf'n ON!

I know I wouldn't be making any more money for letting UVA in over FSU.

It's all about the matchups for me.

I think my favorite Florida season was 2010,

13 games, 3 states:

Florida, 10 games.
Tennessee, 2 games.
Alabama, 1 game.

Yeah, then maybe you could improve on that 0.312 win% in Athens. Who knows, maybe eventually UF could match LSU's 0.600 win% there.

not a florida fan but i'm against letting fsu in.

They had their chance, they turned it down, why give them a second bite at the apple.

also this is a poor spin off flame thread from the why doesn't uf play ooc outside of florida.

I'll ask the same question in this thread i did in that one. Why do LSU fans continue to bitch about playing uf as their cross divisional 'rival' and then call florida scared?

Miami has a 2 game lead in the series (probably one after this year), not quite sure what your talking about.

UF @ UGA: 2-5-1 UGA @ UF: 3-2


Really digging up some ancient history here. What years were those games? BTW, the game has only been in Gainesville 3 times, and 4 times in Athens.

That doesn't make any sense, I've NEVER complained about LSU playing Florida, I love that series. UF pulled ahead in the 90's, I'm looking for LSU to pull back out in front of UF.

Until 1993 LSU had winning records vs all SEC teams except Alabama and UT. I'm looking for LSU to regain that advantage.

You should probably ask them why they're scared of letting FSU into the SEC.

So you're saying UF has been scared of Athens for a REALLY long time.

Got it.

Is it really because they would lose their built in excuse to not have to leave the state of Florida for an OOC game?


This has absolutely nothing to do with that.

On a related note, why are Florida fans so scared to play in Athens?



Uh, you do realize that game has mostly been played in JAX, right? Oh, and we dropped Fity two on UGA once in Athens, so I'd be all for it next time. We aren't "scared", but whatever helps you sleep at night.

Sure it does. LSU fans bitch about playing UF as their cross division game.

I'd rather ask LSU fans why they bitch about playing UF as their cross division game yet suggest other teams are scared.

Or I can ask you why you just pick at low hanging fruit in this spinoff thread

Auburn fans need to just shut up and be glad Cam Newton came along
