re: Why has our spineless Commish not corrected the UGA/AU scheduling?

Was a one time reset. Repeating would undo the rotation they were addressing. Ole Miss had to come to Tuscaloosa back to back years.
Not sure how they came up with it.

shhhhhhhhhhhhh dudewhole. most dawg fans along with corndog fans dont understand much outside their little world. They think it is a conspiracy against their team. Kind of like the SEC office is always for Bama and against them

Well, you do have to protect your top brand.

How happy would your season ticket holders be if that was your home schedule? We "should" have auburn at home this year.
As discussed on the DR,its the reason I cancelled by season tix.I'm sure as hell won't make my Hartman fund
contribution fot that garbage schedule every other year.Even with an occasional Bama or LSU down the road.
SC and Mizzou aren't quite the same as UT and AU
Anyway paid the PSL for the Falcons and will be watching
live Sundays...still gonna hit up Jax every year.

Because you got an extra SEC home game with someone else to replace the home game you lost with AU. The reason UF gets LSU in Gaineville back to back is because UF only got 3 SEC home games this past year.

Wouldn't giving y'all two home games in a row, put the rotation back to what they needed to change from?

I would certainly like to return to the "old" schedule with Georgia. Won't happen because it makes sense.

I'm guessing its made difficult because they have to give every SEC team the same number of home and away games. To accompany the new guys, the network of relationships between teams dictated that Auburn/Georgia needed to shift a year, requiring a one time adjustment.
ETA: I'd personally prefer a shift back because now we have Bama & UGA on same cycle. But I believe, without looking at the previous and current schedules for all 14 teams, it was a necessary 1-time shift.

UF/LSU (who are regular every season opponents) make it work but UGA/AU can't
Because UF/LSU are the only two teams impacted and 2 games in a row in Florida gets them back to their cycle and makes them whole.
The circumstances that dictated a change for UF/LSU are way different than what dictated an Auburn-Georgia change. Only way to make it "right", in the way you're thinking, would be to play 3 not 2 in a row in Athens and I think you already know that's a bigger screw job than what you guys are currently losing.

So why does our shithead prez not set things right and make Auburn play in Athens 2 years in a row? There is, and I'm not a millenial flannel wearing shithead so I don't take this word lightly, LITERALLY no reason why LSU/UF can make that work but our shithead commish can't right a wrong 5 years ago and put the DSOR back on the right track.
The whole reason you had to play at Auburn twice in a row was because they needed the DSOR to be at Auburn in odd years and at UGA in even ones. "Fixing" it by playing at UGA twice in a row would defeat that purpose.
It's happened before.
-LSU played at Ole Miss in 1991 and 1992 to accommodate the new SEC schedules beginning in 1992.
-Ole Miss played at LSU in 2001 and 2002 to accommodate the (again) new SEC schedules beginning in 2002.
-Alabama played at LSU in 1991 and 1992 to accommodate the new schedules with the first expansion in 1992.
-Kentucky played at LSU in 1987 and 1988 to accommodate the (then) new 7-game SEC schedules starting in 1988.
-LSU played at Kentucky in 2001 and 2002 to accommodate the new schedules starting in 2002.
-Mississippi State played at LSU in 1991 and 1992 to accommodate the new schedules after the first expansion in 1992.
That's just a few off the top of my head involving LSU. I'm sure there are plenty more.

Auburn "needed it" or the conference?And why did it "needed to be played in odd years"?Seems most
Aubie fans don't want to get Bama and Ga on the same years home and away.
And once again,it screws us on our odd year home schedules especially with playing the WLOCP.
We play none of our big rivals at home in odd years and
gives season ticket holders a horrible value.

What the reasoning for the change? And didn't the MS schools do the same thing?

Just 3 months ago we had a situation where we moved the LSU/UF game from gainesville to baton rouge. Ok, fine. That's the exact opposite from the norm, but it's necessary at the time. So what does the commish do? The UF/LSU game is now going to be in gainesville for the next 2 years in 17 and 18.
Well, if the p*ssy commish we have couldn't avoid being intimidated and manipulated by an outgoing Florida AD into postponing the LSU-Florida game, what makes one think he can get something like the Georgia-Auburn schedule right? There was absolutely no reason that the LSU-Florida game couldn't have been played on Sunday afternoon or the following Monday night (as LSU and Tennessee were told to do some years ago due to a hurricane) other than the fact that Florida was really banged up at that time and their AD and HC did not want to play the game at that time. I seriously doubt Mike Slive would have let the Florida AD intimidate him, but that p*ssy commish we have now doesn't have the balls.

What pisses me off about the whole thing is that it essentially kills us every other year having to go to UGA, trash game and then travel to Tuscaloosa. Either fix it back or move the UGA game up a few weeks so we aren't getting killed at the end of the year.

There was absolutely no reason that the LSU-Florida game couldn't have been played on either that Sunday afternoon/evening or the following Monday night had the Florida people got up off their asses and stopped saying the game couldn't be played, and actually started talking options (which they refused to do). LSU and Tennessee were told by the commissioner some years ago to play a game on Monday night due to a hurricane. The real reason that game was postponed is that the Florida AD and HC knew their team was really banged up with injuries at that time, and the rookie Commish we have let an outgoing AD at Florida intimidate him into handling that all wrong. Florida wasn't even interested in re-scheduling it until some of the other teams in the east, Tennessee for one, raised holy hell about it and forced the commissioner into acting on re-scheduling the game.

So when was the last time Alabama was told to play on the Friday after Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving night for years on end?

Assume they get every other game in he conference balanced out and scheduled but do what we want for auburn and Uga. Instead of 4 home and 4 away games, auburn and uga would perpetually have a 5-3 home/away or away/home schedule:
The network of scheduling, for everyone in conference to have 4-4, got to auburn and Georgia and said y'all need to skip a year's rotation.

To balance the number of home and road SEC games each team plays each year. The way it's set up, UGA has three home games one year, then four the next (because of the one neutral site game every year) and Auburn has four every year. Switch the Georgia-Auburn rotation and Georgia would have two one year and five the next and Auburn would have three one year and five the next.
