We gave up a home game to you to get things "right" with the SEC schedule and our pussy AD gave into your whiny demands and moved our game to earlier in the season.
And we gave whiny arse a weak East schedule. The only reason UGA fans are crying about the move is because they know it's an advantage to UGA to keep it where it was and equal by moving it. Otherwise yall wouldn't care.

Equal?

So you think the other 12 ADs are ok with Bama Biased Womack? Seems like it should be an easy thing to do at the Spring Meetings. Propose a vote to realign the conference and remove Womack. I mean AU ADs dont even try. Dont they read tRant and Tiger Droppings?


That is why he is not the Commissioner. AU would not allow it, but the rest of the league doesn't want a Bama homer in charge. Nobody hates him, they just do not trust his loyalty.

Who else would AU have gotten if he left for Ark in December of 17 ? Who in the West has done more with the exception of Saban ?

When we agreed to the split and joined the west.

Yeah. Playing 2 quality rivals that close together, who both focus on you while you have to focus on both, is a big disadvantage (and don't even pretend GT is worth mentioning).

Equal by allowing both teams to focus on one rival. You could make a case that Auburn has to play a west team while UGA plays the East as still being favorable to UGA but it's as equal as it could be given the divisions.

You mean the expansion or just the SEC splitting into divisions? You REALLY think the SECE was easier when the SEC split into divisions in the 90's and early 00's? You sure about that?

Wasn't much of a disadvantage in the 80's and 90's...kinda strange.

The game was fine right where it was.God forbid you have 2 rival opponents back to back with a week off.BTW,you have a week off before the UGA AND BAMA game this year.And you guys want to bitch at the SEC schedule maker?

God forbid the sec not make UGA's schedule any easier. That's the only reason you are bitching. You only play Auburn and bitch because they don't make it harder on them for yall.

Yall aren't fooling anyone with the reason yall are crying so hard over it.

How in the world did they "make our schedule easier"? By giving Auburn 2 home games in a row vs UGA? By giving Auburn a week off before BOTH Bama and UGA? By giving into your whiny demands to move the DSOR?

If ANY school has a friend in the scheduling office it's Auburn.

Playing 2 big rivals in 3 weeks isnt a gift from the office. UGA plays 1 in that same time frame. Now it's both playing the same and surprise UGA is the one crying over it.

You ain't crying so hard over losing a home game. Quit pretending.

Stop it...having a bye week before each is and you know it.

We play UF,Mizzou,AU,A&M and GT in consecutive weeks at the end of the season with no bye week obviously.And you really think we have "friends" in the scheduling office?

When does Auburn quit bitching and just try winning. Auburn got the benefit several years ago when UGA had to play in Auburn consecutive years, to make expansion work. Auburn didn’t bitch then, know UGA and Bama we’re both home games then. Instead of playing an extra game in Athens, Auburn’s bitched about how unfair everything is since UGA and Bama have both dominated the series. Now Auburn has bitched so much, the DSOR is moving from November to Sept/ Oct. why doesn’t Auburn just move to the PAC, ACC, Sunbelt, or SWAC?

Good God....Whining because Alabama kicks the shite out of you and you want to move to the East...and whining because UGA kicks the shite out of you and you wanted the game moved. But...said nothing about moving to the East or moving the DSOR until after 2007....

PS...I don't think it will matter about the DSOR. AU will just tote that arse-whooping a lot sooner and be out of contention quicker.

That was not the fault of AU ---- that was the greed of getting the Mizzou television footprint.

What sucks is the loss of annual games like Florida. I used to love those AU/Fl games. Hard to believe it has been more than a decade since Tebow.

I am pretty sure college game day attendance is down from years ago, and I think losing those big home and away games, along with the emphasis on neutral site big game matchups has hurt.

I agree I’d love for Auburn to swap with Mizzou but we have to get rid of permanent cross divisional games. Pure even rotation of all cross divisional games. It sucks to lose TSIO but it’s worth it to make the conference more even and fair.

Socialism for football, is that what we want?

Get better, earn it, and win, that is football. If not shut it down.
