Well you can look at my post history. I've never bitched about playing UF. I


Fair enough, I dont think I called you personally out, if I did, then

I have repeatedly said that the UT and Bama rivalry is played out and it's time to move on.


It's only "played out" because UT has been in a slump for a few years. Like stated by others, was anyone bitching about TSIO when UT was streaking against BAma?

Some teams schedules work out better than others


They do, and it rotates on and off throughout the years. Bama just happens to currently have a weaker schedule, 2 years and prior they did not. LSU is almost the polar opposite. They have the schedule Bama had and they just finished the schedule Bama is in.

There are more teams to deal with than LSU and Bama, as far as schedule and its commical when people think they are the deciders for all others.

. But the rotation of cross divisional games would make for better games IMO.


indeed, the current problem is the odd(7) number of teams in the divisions. It needs to change, 14 teams is not sustainable. 10,12,16(4 divisions) work, 14 does not

Exactly. LSU fans seem to think that UT will never be competitive again. And not only did you not hear Bama fans complaining about the game when UT was beating us yearly, but you don't hear UF fans complaining now about UGA getting to play the barn, or USCe getting to play Arky.

I don't think you did. I just don't want to be lumped in that category. I prefer watching LSU play good teams. It's hard to get excited when we play shitty conference games TBH.

No, and I agree completely. But change is not always a bad thing. And UT is horrible and will continue to be horrible. Their glory days were 15 years ago for God's sake.

LSU definitely played some weaker schedules in the past. But as you said, it rotates. But what we can say is that our cross divisional permanent has been one of the best teams in the country over the last decade. Not to mention playing Bama every year, obviously.

Agree. And I am probably one of few people who isn't against going to 16. I mean, we aren't kicking anyone out, so it's really the only option.
