re: I heard that the SEC finally caved into Alabama constant whining...

Up until a few years ago, Auburn didn't have a bye before the Iron Bowl. When the SEC picked up the 12th game and didn't give an extra week, our bye moved to the 11th week. Chizik said after he was hired that he wanted to get the bye week moved further up in the year. I think almost all Auburn fans agree, so you won't hear any complaining out of us about Alabama's whining.
