Greene has said he wants to fix the schedule and have one be away while the other is at home. I don't think any Auburn fan would have a problem playing UGA away two games in a row to get that fixed.
I don't understand why they can't just do this and amke things nice and easy. There's no reason to move them in the schedule. The monkey wrench to simply playing us back to back is supposedly taht it would throw the home/away conference schedules out of whack.
1)Those home/away schedules are set through I believe 2024. Whenever it's time to release the next ~15 year batch of that schedule just have AU play in Athens 2 years in a row
2)Uf/LSU did a 2/2 thing recently due to weather and it didn't seem to destroy the league schedules. That's what blows my mind the most...if those 2 teams can do it on a few weeks notice how can we not do it

I thought the SEC office hated you guys and screws you over whenever/ however possible.

Horse crap.
tDSOR is meant to be played with Red and Orange leaves on the trees and ground, just like the teams of the field.

Why are Auburn fans so obsessed with changing the rules
Auburn's season before November is effectively meaningless. That is a sign of poor football scheduling by the SEC

that would be "jawja". It amazes me the people that are so phonetically challenged that they can't sound out a simple word.
Gawja = GAWjuh
Jawga = JAWguh
Gawga = Gawguh
If you want to use that particular type of spelling, at least do it correctly. Jawja = Jawjuh (sounds like georgia).

Wrong, but you're a dumb frick like usual. I've NEVER seen an Auburn fan or official ask out of that game.

Not sure I understand why it is meaningless. before November this year you played Washington, LSU, Mississippi State and Tennessee. A big OOC game and 3 big conference game. Had you won all your pre November games you would be in the playoff hunt and ranked in the top 3 or 4.

but they bitched and moaned about having to play Florida and Auburn back to back in early 90's.
When did this happen? And when did our AD try to get the schedule changed?

I agree. The moving them on the schedule is just another alternative they are looking at because the monkey wrench you mentioned.
The way our schedule is set up now because of the realignment, there is no good mix. This year, the home schedule is awful and it is bad for the city. Next year, we don't have a home game from sept. 28 to Nov. 2.
There would absolutely be some benefits to moving the game earlier in the season form Auburn's perspective, but pretty much all of our fans would be just fine fixing the home/away issue to how it use to be.

The difference was those teams agreed to be unbalanced 5-3 home/away in order to make it happen and it was short term and self fixed. We could do it, but I can't imagine Auburn would sign up to going 3-5/5-3 until 2024. Also, for us, it would move us to a 2-5-1 "bad year" with only 2 home SEC games. Unless it's holistically solved via the SEC overall schedule, we just can't "re-balance" with the way things have been setup.
Best chance would be as you mentioned, when they start working on the schedules for 2025 and beyond that maybe another matchup eats a HH/AA back to back to help offset it.
As far as moving the game, I went through this on another board... it's unrealistic to expect UGA to accommodate the move IN ADDITION to already eating the back to back away games in the series. The only move I could see making sense would be relocating the UT game/AU games for us. Some of the other suggestions that have been thrown out are ridiculous.
Move it up a week: UGA then faces UF and AU back to back... AU is complaining when they have had either a bye week or a "paid bye week" between UGA and UA. This hardly seems reasonable.
Move to beginning of SEC season: South Carolina likely complains because this then stacks UGA, UF, and Clemson on the back portion of their schedule.
Most of the other moves they could reasonably make would stack UGA on the front or back of the LSU matchup for Auburn or Auburn on top of UT/UF for UGA and the same complaints will likely exist.
Frankly the whole thing is ridiculous anyways. If anything, Auburn has actually BENEFITTED from the HH/AA UGA/Bama configuration. Their best 2 seasons since we shifted this way have come in the years with UGA and Bama at home. If you subscribe to the idea that having the matchups at home makes them more likely wins and on the road more likely losses, then instead of having 2 SEC Championship game appearances, instead you likely have 2 "ok" Auburn seasons, or at best, 1 of those appearances. THIS might actually have benefitted Auburn, because Gus wouldn't have netted a $49M deal last year and they could have cut ties this year much easier.

I think he is talking about next year. Before Nov. 2, we have one home game that is worth anything, MSU. (We start the season neutral site)

'14 AU lost 1 game before Nov > 4 games after

'17 AU lost 2 games before Nov > 2 games after

AU doesn't have a meaningless part of their schedule at any time. Y'all have a brutal schedule most years, maybe Greene/Leath can do better than Jacobs/Gouge?

We already know Leath is worthless and hopefully headed out the door before too long.

But you still have MState, Texas A&M, Florida and lSU before November......that's not a bad schedule right there.

Again, i'm pretty sure he is talking about our home slate. As a ticketholder, I have the MSU game as a meaningful home game next year. That is it until november. He can correct me if i'm misinterpreting his statement.
