Nobody cares about what Georgia wants - that's up to Georgia. If you want to inquire about changing it, have at it. That's up to you.

The question was is the complaint reasonable. The answer is no since another team has it worse. And no one cares about Saban bitching about how rough it is when UGA does it more and he schedules no decent ooc teams.

That's one hell of a way to approach things. No thanks on waiting until you are in the absolute worst spot before trying to improve it.

Oh, well, cool. We don't give a shite if you care. That's kind of the point here. We're gonna do what we want and you can do what you want. Sorry that it seems to make you so mad.

Also, FYI, Georgia has played more night games vs non-P5 OOC teams in September since 2012. Not less.

Georgia
2012 FAU
2017 Appalachian St
2017 Samford

Alabama
2013 Colorado St
2017 Colorado St

Alabama and Tennessee fought and yelled and screamed and sued the shite out of eachother in the 90s and 2000s. But nobody ever talked about not wanting to play the other anymore.


Obviously Alabama and Tennessee want to play each other

I’m saying the issue of permanent opponents has been discussed at least since 1992 expansion and very likely before that too.

UGA has played more noon games overall, which is why you had to hedge all of your posts with (except for UGA).

The argument is not and never has been about noon games (which are 11 AM games at Alabama, FYI).

It's about starting games in the hottest part of the day when there are 7 different night time TV slots REGULARLY occupied by games between SEC teams and awful opponents.

And UGA still plays more of those than bama. Imo the team that has it worst can complain. You have a different opinion, which is fine.

You don't, though, as noted above. We are relatively similar and both play far less than anyone else, but you have played 1 more non-P5 September night game than us since SECN started.

Agree - not everybody had to agree about it.

And in the long run its very much not a big deal and won't effect almost anyone else.

lol weird you hedged all your posts then. The only reason UGA is about to get a September night game is because we’re playing a good team. If bama played a good team, they’d get one too.
