This thread is split 50-50 as is the LSU fanbase when it comes to scheduling Florida.

Obviously you're one of the few that doesn't. I think it's all horseshite anyways. I said before that I thought a 9 game schedule was best because you get to keep your permanent opponent and rotate 2 others. The only thing I don't like about the 6-1-1 is how long it is between trips to Athens, Columbus, Knoxville, etc for LSU and how long it is between times I get to see UGA, USCe, and tenn in Death Valley.

In all seriousness, isn't it sadder to do the same with your prime years?

Exactly, and 2-6 vs LSU since 2000, and has a 0.59 win% in that time compared to LSU's 0.78 win%. That's why I would like to see UT rotate onto LSU's schedule more often, now would be a good time to even up the series.
118 years of competing in the same conference, and LSU and UT have only played 32 games - three of which were in the post season. That's ridiculous.
Why wait till 2012 to start bitching about it then?

No one should be bitching about us wanting to keep playing Tennessee when we are one of the two SEC schools that actually want 9 games.
I want a 9 game schedule. However, if there is no 9 game schedule, it's dumb to keep permanent opponents. None of this would have been an issue with me, however, if the league didn't feel the need to add two more teams.

Tennessee is 20-9-3 against LSU, you idiot.
yes, and they're also 2-6 against LSU since 2000, one being in 2001 on the road when Tennessee was stacked, only to lose to LSU in the title game. Not sure why this is relevant either. And fwiw, I like playing Florida every year. And regardless, the SEC not going to a 9 game schedule to compensate for having 2 new teams AND not resurrecting the schedules concerning permanent opponents is a gigantic fail on their part.

I guess you didn't notice but the sec added two schools. Accordingly, all schedules had to be modified. So quit melting.
the only way they were modified is taking away one rotating opponent and leaving you with one. That's ridiculous

Once conference realignment was started there was no way this wasn't happening.

Fla was a cupcake...I wonder why
well, for one, Florida wasn't a cupcake once the SEC restructered the conference after the 1992 expansion and created divisions and permanent opponents. At that time, you actually had 2 perms; however, they justly changed that to 1 permanent opponent so teams from cross division played each other more. When A&M and Missouri were added, they faced the same problem. However, this time, instead of fixing the problem by adding another SEC game or getting rid of permanent opponents, they stayed with the status quo. I have no problem keeping those historical rivalries, but if they want to keep them, they need to restructure the scheduling by going to a pod schedule or adding a 9th game. They did neither, and it's ridiculous.

The answer is so easy; group teams geographically while considering traditional rivalries:
East:
Alabama
Auburn
Florida
UGA
Kentucky
South Carolina
Tennessee
West:
A&M
Arkansas
LSU
Ole Miss
Miss. State
Missouri
Vanderbilt
Traditional rivalries, which are so important- intact.
9 game schedule, no permanent opponents. Maximizes changes to play everyone in conference and maintains rivalries. Who could be against this?

I bet LSU would love that. Let's get the two biggest threats to our team out of the division. Posted on 4/28/14 at 11:29 am to crimsonsaint

Why not just add another game and allow the rivals and division to remain intact? Don't force other teams to have a perm opponent and allow two cross divisional games a year.
