Terry you and Tusk defend every little point to death and can never agree that Alabama ever is anything but perfect. That destroys any credibility you might have earned from many good posts and points made on other subjects. You see on Tiger Fan we good Tiger fans criticize justabout everything about LSU at one time or another. We recognize faults in the institution and the people in itand debate them. If you could admit without being browbeaten some of the points brought are valid, you would gain more respect. No one expects you to become Tiger fans or negabamas. Just take off the crimson colored glasses. I am sure sometimes you feel like King Canute trying to hold back the tide but being oberdefensive isn't the way to respect.
Well he needs to be fired then. So the open date fiasco that bama raised such a fuss over, a "luck of the draw" and "value of the conference" thing?
It's too late for that. Alabama's like a criminal whose remorse is contingent upon getting caught. Additional remorse involves having too pay a monetary price for it. The Crimson Tide interest in retaining LSU in the SEC is, probability indicates, based on the clear fact that Louisiana's Alumnus base is gullible. Ruining good LSU seasons provides a way in for Alabama to ascend in years in which ALA might only be above average. (EXAMPLE:2011) IMO - "I assure you had LSU been #1 last season and Alabama #2 and LSU lost!!?? No rematch no matter how loud LSU screamed." No matter who or what LSU did including defeat the Green Bay Packers no rematch with the Crimson Tide. The Alabama Crimson Tide are rotten to the core & leaving their conference is the best way to deliver the "coup de graux" ....Fiscal pain $$$ not physical pain wins this fight. (in the first meeting in Tuscaloosa LSU defeated #1 Alabama in OT 9-6 FINAL)
2 dead in fight over Ala.-LSU football game Updated 11/10/2008 11:30 AM | Comment | Recommend Share on emailE-mail | Share EVERGREEN, Ala. (AP) — Authorities say an argument over Saturday's Alabama-LSU football game led to the shooting deaths of a couple at a home in southern Alabama. Prosecutors identified the victims as Dennis and Donna Smith of Brewton. The shooting happened about 7 p.m. Saturday at the home of Michael Williams in the rural community of Owassa. Williams was arrested and charged with two counts of murder. Investigators told the Press-Register newspaper in Mobile that Dennis Smith, an LSU fan, called Williams, an Alabama fan, after Alabama's 27-21 overtime win and an argument ensued. The Smiths went to Williams home. Investigators said Smith had a pistol and Williams had a shotgun and fired. Donna Smith was a relative of Williams' girlfriend. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/2008-11-10-football-shooting_N.htm
I had actually just stated how well-informed and logical and coherent your football based opinions were a day or two ago. That is clearly not the case when discussing anything other than a sheer, unwavering worship of Bama. It's obvious that neither you nor I can have an honest, un-bias discussion in the Bama-LSU scheduling-equality debate. I will, therefore, no longer continue this pointless charade. Unless you Tiger fans just like to argue, I would do the same.
Youre real late to the party. TurdTimes showed his true unwin colors last Nov. ToiletP blew his wad relentlessly defending a headhunting thug in the SECCG. They use words like myopic and incredulous without understanding it destabilizes their own arguments because they are such ass-clowns.
You tried to pass off a 7-6, now a 0-6 Penn State team as part of your "Tough" SEC schedule, lol. LSU 2013: at Georgia & Florida Bama 2013: Kentucky & Tennessee
Yeah twenty years ago the conference needed those rivalries as well as the new ones that were force fed on us (LSU/Florida, LSU/Arkansas). Now these games are only about tradition at the cost of parity in cross-division scheduling. I'm not complaining about having to face Florida every year while Bama is lapping up on Tennessee's current stay in the doldrums. We have all been there, I get the whole luck of the draw thing. However, it sure seems to be more than luck how the cross-divisional rotation was ceased due to expansion followed by a bridge season where the rotation is broken again, where Bama draws weak sisters as their nonpermanent game. When the conference first went to the divisional format it was certain that if a player signed on to play at any school in the conference, they would have the opportunity to play against every other school at least once. It was also short enough of a time that non yearly rivalries didn't cool down too much, for both the fans and the teams. As it is now, with a home and away against a nonpermanent will happen only once a decade or so. I would be in favor of doing away with the permanent opponents all together, it just makes the time span between cross division matchups too long. Screw tradition all together, it isn't the selling point it once was and over 28% of the conference wasn't here when it did. If Bama, Tennessee, UGA and the Barn want to hang on to tradition put them all in the same division. Hell Auburn should have been an eastern team to begin with. You do know that Auburn has played LSU and Ole Miss more since the first expansion than all the years prior going back to before conference play? They even still have more games played against old Southern Conference foe Clemson, than every team in the west other than Bama and Mississippi State. Move Mizzou and Vandy west while sending Bama and Auburn over to play with their traditional foes, have two or three non permanent cross divisional games every year and all will be right with the world. Oh, I do realize that the balance of power would definitely lean to the east, but that is only a cycle that is certain to change in time or at least that's the way Gump logic sees it.
