Alleva said 11 of the 14 SEC schools are in favor of retaining permanent opponents — including Florida, the Tigers’ permanent SEC East opponent. LSU has maintained in the past that Florida also wanted to eliminate their annual game.

“I don’t think it’s fair,” Alleva said. “I think people have voted in the best interests of their schools and not the league.”


this quote fits in a lot more with what I am saying and not about being "scared" of playing Florida. the permanent Easy opponent does mess up the balance of the league (schools are voting in their best interest...rivals and to still keep their tradition, and the schools playing crappy schools want to keep that). playing at the opposite division SEC schools once every 13 years is not a league.

the other thing you quoted I guess is from a writer? he is just stating facts.

I mean you're not gonna sit here and say that you want to play Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Missouri, etc. more often are you?


No, but I would like to play in Lexington more than once every 13 years. I would like to go to Columbia sometime in the near future...who knows when that will happen

I guarantee you majority of LSU fans want to play Florida every year. I can start a thread on the Rant right now and prove it to you.
