What example is that? That I shouldn't disagree with you?

This is exactly my point. Rivalries are important because they exist separately from the race to the SECCG. If you take them away, it's bland. The biggest ever LSU-Alabama game doesn't hold a candle to the atmosphere or the legend of the Iron Bowl, 3rd Saturday, UGA/AU... those are the kinds of games that formed the SEC. Before there even was a title game.



And a suitable alternative was offered, and you said you were scared to play that many tough teams.

They have both disagreed with me. The example is the way to post coherently, make a point, and not have complete homer ooze out of every key stroke.

Making it an unsuitable alternative...

TA

you said they could care less if they lost it IIRC, not that it's their 3rd favorite rival

because in our program being the 3rd best rivals isn't so shitty considering we have like 5-6

why should we? looks like our 4 programs are the ones in the position to say "deal with it"

For Bama. Why must LSU deal with the unsuitable alternative?

And again, showcasing the hypocrisy of this entire scheduling format to placate four teams.

A lame strawman attack demonstrating my post above.

Just because that's the only thing you can come up with doesn't make it true. And this is passive aggressive, fwiw.

Says the guy who pulls the LSU board card. I said it was too easy for LSU to make it to the SECCG every year. There's a big difference, Einstein.

No I didn't. Pull the post. I said in relation to those other two rivals, it's not as big for them. I said it was a third rivalry in their eyes because UF was clearly superior and for some, GT is. For my brother in law, his hatred for GT is greater than AU. If you want to change context in this passive aggressive manner that's fine though.

I think TA has actually debated hard but fair in this thread, save for the one post where I think he may have lost his cool a bit.

I just like when you can go into a thread and debate football hard, talk a little trash about wins and losses, but not get told that you eat penises or that you are a retard because you disagree with someone.

It is a rare find, but this thread has been pretty fun to participate in.

Now if we can just move UT to the West, Arky to the East and let AU and UGA figure out what to do about the DSOR, we'd all be set for a 6-2.

But the reason for the format is your rivalry, not for fairness.

frickina....Anyone who doesn’t understand that each long time rivalry brings with it a history, a set of traditions, a set of shared experiences passed down across generations, and that each rivalry exists in a zone of its own, apart from the regular season itself, doesn’t get college football.

So why are we hostages to it when a team like South Carolina or Arkansas aren't? You do a good job of deflecting on this board.


Seriously?

Arkansas was set free because Mizzou went to the East and Arkansas made a ton of sense as Mizzou's cross divisional rival. Arky and USC was a forced marriage. Just as USC and A&M will be but there's just no good fit for either school so it is what it is.

Speaking of Arky, most sane LSU fans can see that Florida is a game that our fanbase gets way more excited about than say... Arkansas. LSU has been playing Florida just about every year since 1953. Before Spurrier became coach, nobody really whined about having to play Florida every year.

Then why propose an alternative that will be more unfair annually?

ETA: Not only that, it will result in fewer marque SEC games.

Asking a rhetorical question isn't passively aggressively personally attacking a person.

None of this is going to matter after next season when everyone has left the ACC. This is just a wild goose chase anyway.
