Oh, really??? Please cite some specific examples where Auburn got their way against the will of other schools?


Settle down - I meant under the scenario of AU moving to the east with Bama as a permanent cross, AU gets eveything they want...you get to keep UGA as well.

...and don't even go there about AU bitching out of the neutral site game...Bama owned you guys at Legion Field which is why you wanted out. Tickets were 50/50 so don't see how that impacted you. Bama just owned your arse at Legion so you needed to get a home field advantage. As I said in my OP, Bama should have called your bluff back in '89.

Tickets were 35% to each school and 30% to the city of Birmingham.... very neutral

Yes, Alabama won more there, but it doesn't take much to realize that AU would choose an actual home game instead of playing in front of majority Alabama fans each year with almost every usher, concession worker, etc. wearing crimson. Birmingham felt like home to Alabama for many years. It was never home to Auburn.
