So? I do. I want to play our entire conference and your stupid want for tradition!!!!!! is keeping that from happening. Dont expect me to support the whole permanent cross opponent when we should go to 9 games, no permanent opponent

I think it is funny when lsu fans talk smack about a program that has more all-time wins, more SEC championships, and has a significant head-to-head advantage over lsu.

If there were a Basic Updyke Nation meme, this would be the quote that spawned it.

And one of the most consistent cheaters in CFB history.

But I have no problem saying Bama, historically, is much better than LSU

Duh

The fact that Bama is better historically than lsu is beyond debate.

But I wasn't referring to Bama...

The same reason they used to schedule Vandy every year.

Yeah, the TSIO hasn't been played between two top-ten teams since 1999. Only twice since then have both teams been ranked in the top 25, '02 and '05.

By the time UT gets their feces consolidated, Nick will retire throwing Bama back into the toilet.




Well, Florida has truly been a tough challenge the last 5 years.

8-5
7-6
11-2
4-8
7-5

Truly terrifying. How did you guys ever survive having to play that bunch since 2010.

Notice how LSU fans still don't want to play them every year. All you've done is demonstrate that LSU fans are principled on this matter and don't actually care about a harder or easier schedule.

What you do to the English language on a regular basis should be punishable by death. I'm 100% serious.

You mean Tennessee? A team with a 9-8-2 mark over the last 55 years, tied with us with SEC titles and one behind us in National Titles in that time frame? Yes,we'll chuckle about Tennessee.

Then tell your coach and AD to get on board with Bama and Saban and support a 9 game SEC schedule.

Exactly. 10 out of 14 teams are for it.

9 games isn't going to happen in the SEC because of home-away balance. It takes what is wrong with permanent opponents, and combines a new stupid issue with scheduling on top of it. It doesn't fix the imbalance issue, it only attempts to fix the frequency issue. A solution would have to be 8 or 10 games for widespread acceptance, IMO.

As already indicated and everyone knows, it is four teams (UT, UGA, and AU being the others) and:
