AU's complaint was having to play UGA and Bama in week 12 and week 14. They wanted the UGA moved earlier.

That wasn't the complaint at all. During expansion, UGA came to Auburn two years in a row and therefore threw our schedule out of what where we played both Bama and UGA away to finish the season every other year. Has nothing to do with wanting to play UGA earlier dumbass.

Other than screwing up the DSOR tradition in November, UGA actually came away from this I’m better shape; our November schedule is now pretty favorable.

Because Georgia's AD is a spineless limp wristed punk who wouldn't fight for the best interests of his school if his pathetic life depended on it.

First they bent him over and gave Auburn two straight home games and he said thank you. Then they bent him over again and moved the game to benefit Auburn and he said thank you twice.

If I was Florida I would tell him that I wanted the Florida-Georgia series to start rotating between Jacksonville and Gainesville. He's such a cuck he would probably submit to it and say thank you again

Wrong again, dumbass.
As started SEVERAL times in this thread and on the rant, it has to do with ZERO decent home games in November in off years.

"This scheduling change proves AU has no real clout at the SEC Office."

It would seem that the other teams affected by this change should have had a chance to weigh in or veto it. This "change" ONCE AGAIN helps Alabama and hurts Auburn and LSU. When is this league going to be forced to provide fairness to all of it's member schools?

We are going to the game and will stay in Bama for the week. We will camp all week and then go to the Iron Bowl the next week

This is the main point being ignored. It was no mistake that LSU was the replacement for UGA.

This is a great schedule, a couple of things went into it.

--Play cross-division games earlier in the season (Sept. or Oct) in case they have to play again the championship game.

-- Auburn wanted it home and away schedule to be more balanced. This past year we did not have a home game in October.

-- We never shied away from a strong schedule, we traditionally played UT, Bama, UGA and Florida every year. Wish we could go back to that and go back to 10 teams.

They whined about playing Alabama & Georgia both or @ home in the same year (thanks to the SEC's F-Up of DSOR when we added TA&M & Mizz.). So, they whined causing the SEC moving DSOR to earlier in the year & putting LSU in it's place.

On a side note, the F-Up also caused UGA to play @Aub., @ WLOCP, & @GT at the same venue each year (away in odd years...used to host DSOR in odd years).
