You know how scheduling is.
Some years, you might be facing a juggernaut FSU/Tennessee. Some years, they can't get out of their own way.

But you schedule the games.
You schedule them because your fans should go to Tallahassee.
Your fans should go to Madison.
Your fans should go to Blacksburg.

clearly disagree on that. That's fine I guess.

We don't disagree on the teams.
Everyone you schedule neutral would play you home and home. I promise.
As a matter of fact, they prefer it.

We disagree on the effort by your AD. We disagree on his misdirection and tactics of manipulating his fanbase.
We disagree on his success in scheduling (you are content with the last decade despite not liking it and despite knowing that all of those teams would travel home and home).

I say do better.
You say Auburn (who actually does better).
Simeon says GT sucks (but we do better even ignoring GT). Hell... GT has 3 divisional titles the past decade. How many of your neutral site teams won their division?

I always appreciate the late night chat.

Edit to add: I understand the money influencing the decision to go neutral. We get paid to play in Jacksonville. It is one of the perks.
But your fans deserve better than what your AD gives you.
