re: Honest Answer, LSU Fans...Cross-Div. Games

Permanent cross-divisional games weren't really an issue until expansion. As I see it, it is one of two solutions to fix the problem of literally going a decade without visiting some other schools. The other fix is a 9-game conf schedule. I think both are required.

However, we now know that the AD's/HC's aren't looking at it that way... or at least voting that way. If I recall correctly only 2 schools voted for ending the perm cross divisional. Alabama wasn't one of those. On the other side, you would figure that the 2 schools that want to end the perm would have voted for 9-game schedule, they did not with only Alabama voting for that. So it's more about each school wanting something for themselves (which I can't fault), not getting together for the big picture.

ETA: the bridge schedules are a different and independent issue. I think part of the problem here, on the Rant, is that the two have been merged.
