re: Okay SEC Rant. What fanbases are you calling out as your permanent opponent?

when you have the chance to pick up, say, Florida, as your 3rd annual opponent, Auburn says, "Thanks, but we'd prefer Vandy."
But he didn't say that though. He's saying that would be the SEC making the balancing out decision. Where did he ever state what Auburn fans actually wanted or would prefer?
For us though, I'd like to see something like Georgia, Florida, Vanderbilt/Kentucky (won't be Vandy, probably won't be UK). If it has to be a longer distanced opponent, I'd just prefer to have Arkansas back annually. I feel nothing about A&M or Missouri, and I grew up with the annual Arkansas game.

I'm just pointing out the irony of the Auburn AD undercutting that recurrent theme that we saw so often on the Rant from SOME Auburn fans.

As an LSU fan I want Ole Miss, Florida and somebody else.
I'll probably get Ole Miss, Aggie and Oklahoma.

Hearing UGA will get UF, Auburn and Kentucky.
If true, UK in Lexington needs to be an October night game so we can hit Keeneland before the game. Did it in college and had a blast.

If that's true, then we're getting some dumb shite that definitely includes A&M or Missouri. JFC...
They have no one else to stick us with, even though if we have to have a game that far they could give us back Arkansas annually. At least that game had history - they're still forcing A&M and Missouri so hard with BS trophies and dumb fan gatherings.

Auburn, Tennessee and Miss. State (sorry Tigers!!) State only because it's the closest SEC school to T-town. I won't be unhappy with LSU, though. Bama usually wins in "Bryant-Denney West". LOL. Just kidding before you Tiger fanatics jump on me too bad.

For the road trip, who wouldn't want Vandy?
I could skip Nashville. If I want to listen to the same shitty country music in every bar while paying 10 dollars for a beer I’ll go on a bachelorette party. I think Nashville is the most overrated city on earth.
For LSU I want Ole Miss, Bama, and UF.
ETA: wouldn’t be upset with Auburn in that third spot but seems unlikely.

As long as we play TexAss every year - I will be happy. I would love to see any of these teams on our semi perm schedule:
Bama
GA
FL
LSU
I don't want a weak schedule - give us the best. Iron sharpens iron.

Vandy is a good fanbase opponent. After you drink all their beer you can take their women too…

Removal of any of the above for Aggy would be a disgrace. I hate that game as a fake “rivalry.” Our permanents should be with founding members of the SEC or Arkansas as an absolute last resort
I get the sentiment depending on your age, but reasoning seems a little disingenuous. LSU/ A&M series goes back to 1899 (33 years before SEC was formed) and they played pretty regularly until LSU decided not to renew the series in the 90s after A&M's 5 game win streak...bc $ right? lol

I mean, I get it for football, Us not gonna have 10rc. Kind of strange not to have them in baseball tho. No offense to USC(even tho they have to agree), but it seems like a forced rivalry.

Alabama, Florida, Ole Miss.
Give me six permanent opponents and I will add Auburn, A&M, and either Arkansas or MSU.

UF will probably get the Bills, Chiefs and Ravens.

Rumors of UF vs OU.
I hope not as they would make zero sense.
I'm seeing where many UF fans want UGA and AU and not really concerned with the third but many are saying UK is the 3rd longest played game SEC opponent after UGA and AU.
(UGA/AU/UK)
IF they messed with the UF-UK matchup in basketball, im sure they wont pair UK-UF in football.
