Tennessee and South Carolina could play at Clemson Memorial Stadium!




In truth though, what if you had one SEC conference game at Mercedes Benz every week. No team would deny that opportunity.

There isn't even a stadium in Jackson that the egg bowl could be played in... wherever we used to play in like the 70s it is condemened. HS state championship games aren't there any more they rotate between Starkville and Oxford. I'd be down for Liberty Bowl stadium tho

If it goes to a nine game schedule, it will be 5A/4H and then 5H/4A.


Yeah and NO WAY would the SEC front office EVER manipulate the schedule under that scenario to get their "favorite teams (the ones that would make the conference the most money) to Atlanta...

The unbalanced home and away is a deal killer for 9 conference games.

No neutral sites.

Jerry Jones has enough money.

Just kick out the two Big 12 schools and go back to a 12 team SEC.

I don’t think LSU’s one neutral site game would be used on Miss St.

I can’t wait until A&M gets this stupid game out of Arlington and back on campus


I'd prefer to go back to playing on campus as well. I think quite a few A&M and Arksansas fans would to be honest.

Now, for the record, playing in DFW is good for recruiting. Don't get me wrong. But I'd rather see the SWC Challenge rotating Arkansas and A&M through there playing some teams from the SWC.

Say A&M vs Texas Tech one year and the next Arkansas vs Houston. Going once every two years would keep things fresh and I'm fairly certain the two schools could find quite a few folks willing to play them in Jerry's World.

Auburn would never agree to move iron bowl back to Birmingham. That’s a non starter.



I can see the negotiation now. "We propose 1 in Birmingham and 1 @ Auburn." With a straight face.

If it were done I’d want State neutral site. Starkville is the worst trip in the SECW.


I don't think it matters really where we play you.

Yes.

Neutral site games are stale and boring, scene outside the game is usually a parking lot opposed to a beautiful campus, the atmosphere inside the
stadium is mediocre, the games financially betray the communities our universities are a part of.

Neutral site games are not only boring, they’re immoral.

I used to feel differently but the folks wanting Florida-Georgia to go to home and home have won me over. I think both schools would benefit in terms of recruiting and scheduling from doing so and it would be cool having the Gators in Athens every other year.

Why is everyone not named Nick Saban, Dan Mullen, and Bret Bielema so scared of a 9 game SEC schedule?

Moving the game back there would generate tons of money to get it renovated to better than ever. Needs to happen.

I volunteer to move the DSOR to Bobby Dodd Stadium in downtown Atlanta.

It’ll be great, we don’t even have to tel those squatters we are coming over because we own the place. We can all just show up, shoo them and the nobody ACC squad they’re playing off the field and set up shop for an afternoon
