Because they cried about having to play daddy and step-daddy in the same month.

So now they play daddy in October and Uncle in November.

The barners cried about their "Amen Corner" schedule in November, which used to have a cupcake between their game with the bitch mutts and Alabama. So the SEC office gave them a big in spades.

Auburn bent Georgia over a barrel and made them play in Auburn for two consecutive years and then kicked them into September or some
shite like that

Auburn swung their big D around and told the SEC we were tired of the end of even years being terrible for attending fans, so we moved the pups up earlier in the schedule.

No way to tell yet, to be honest. However, the barners will no lomger play the bitch mutts and Alabama in November as either a home or away opponent for both. Does that make sense?

2021 SEC schedule won't be released until the 2020 season starts.

ETA: Look up "Deep South's oldest rivalry moves" and read both the barner and bitch mutt perspectives if you want the story.

They jerked Florida's schedule around like that too.

This scheduling change proves AU has no real clout at the SEC Office. AU's complaint was having to play UGA and Bama in week 12 and week 14. They wanted the UGA moved earlier.

In an attempt to punish AU for asking, the SEC moved the UGA-AU game to October and has AU playing LSU in week 13 and bama in week 14 now. IMO, this makes AU's schedule worse not better.

Of course a side effect of "punishing" AU was to screw up LSU's schedule as LSU ends 2020 at Auburn in Week 13 and at the Ags in week 14. Go figure.

They jerked everyone's schedule around. You aren't special.

Aubie whined because they had both UGA and Alabama scheduled as home opponents in the same years in November, that's it. frick aubie

False, Auburn complained about having no good home games to end even years since they moved UGA to the same home away rotation as bama a few years ago.

When the SEC expanded they made UGA play at Auburn two years in a row to make the expansion schedule work.

But that put UGA and Bama at home or away on the same year each year. Which means every other year JHS is dead each november.

UGA got boned for having to play away two years in a row. Auburn got boned for having their two biggest games away every other year and all we got from it were shitty Mizzou and A&M teams.
