Just out of curiosity, do you know who was in charge of the bridge scheduling?

Not in a million years.

LSU fans are operating under the assertion that it's unfair to give them Florida and Bama Tennessee every year. I'm simply pointing out how short-sighted and illogical that is. One day, Florida will be down, Tennessee will be up and LSU fans will have to find a different outlet for their misplaced jealousy and rage towards the Tide.
I still haven't figured out how we play the toughest SEC schedule possible year in and year out, and still get labeled "pussies" by the very teams playing the weaker schedules.
Amazing logic, truly.
Take your homer glasses off for just one second, people. You seriously can't see anything wrong with this scenario?

All I said was I am not fluent on the history of LSU bitching. I know the history of the SEC just fine.

I get a kick out of that as well.
It's almost like..."Interesting. If we're pussies, what exactly does that make YOU?"

Your team arent the pussies in question. Your fans are the ones complaining.

I'm not a Bama fan. I'm simply pointing out how unbecoming your tinfoil hats are.

UGA was on bama's schedule in 2012 until expansion happened and they suddenly disappeared. one would reason they would show back up in 2013 but instead UGA went to LSU. There is zero explanation for that
There is an explanation. Prior to expansion, the following teams were due to rotate onto LSU and Bama's schedules:
'12: USCe for LSU, UGA for Bama
'13: UGA for LSU, UK for Bama
Here's what will actually happen:
'12: USCe for LSU, Mizzou for Bama
'13: UGA for LSU, UK for Bama
All rotating cross-division series went from 2 games to 1 game in the bridge schedule to account for the fact that every team now had 1 extra division game. Bama's '12 match-up with UGA got dropped for Mizzou who had to have a 2nd cross-division game. UGA and UK rotate onto LSU and Bama's schedules respectively as they would have before the expansion.

An Alabama grad, who worked in consort with other people who graduated from other schools, who had to be granted approval from all fourteen athletic directors. I fail to see this conspiracy theory.

Whatever, Roger. If any of you other teams were in our shoes, would you say nothing about it?
Don't say yes. You know that would be a lie.

An Alabama grad who had to have the schedule approved by all 14 teams, the SEC front office and the NCAA.

That's incorrect, FWIW (the second part). It was not unanimous.

A&M's entire athletic existence has in a sense been unfair. We spent the first 90 years with a significant competative disadvantage and have been trying to catch up ever since. We're used to it.
Also, you don't see Florida fans bitching.

Florida seems like they are in a similar predicament.

Alabama also had 4 SEC West home games last year. Which is cheating beyond belief, and it was all because they didn't want to be A&M's home opener, they whined and complained last minute to make it so. In hindsight it was probably pretty smart. A loss that early in the year(Nick Saban can't beat Sumlin) with nothing to play for they might have crumbled a few more times along the way.

A lot of LSU folks haven't considered UGA a legitimate opponent in years, which is fine, but now suddenly we're considered a tough opponent for the sake of this argument.
Pick one and stick with it. Jeez.

He said he worked with all of the SEC ADs to come up with the schedules. Which is probably why no one from LSU's AD is bitching. Just their fans.

Lolz. Are you really that stupid? Just because it was signed off and okayed, means that people didn't complained, or have legitimate reasons not to, it just wasn't worth the fight? The schedule was designed in Alabama's favor, so how many people complain before it ISN'T in Alabama's interest? You really think they are going to design something that disenfranchises Alabama? I'll never understand this. Again divisions record is a tie breaker. 6 division games. 3 home, and 3 away. Why did Alabama get 4(everyone else got 3 or 2) if it wasn't blatant favoritism?
