re: Pick your 3 permanent conference opponents

I hate this move of allowing Texas and Oklahoma in, for the sole reason that I hate how it's going to ruin a lot of the traditional yearly rivalries, and turn them into a rotating mess.

But I want to keep the Bama matchup above all others. I don't care how much the media wants to tell us how awesome the iron bowl is, or what a great rivalry Tennessee and Alabama supposedly is, even though that game is usually awful. There is no game in the SEC that is more exciting, and generates more national fan interest, than LSU and Alabama when both teams are good. You don't get a matchup with more combined NFL talent, anywhere else.

But sadly, I don't think it'll matter. We'll get Ole Miss, MSU and probably A&M or Texas. I'd like Texas to be one of the three permanents, actually. But I don't want MSU over Bama or even Auburn. Think about all the close games LSU and Auburn have played, and we probably won't have that matchup anymore, at least not yearly.

I'm tired of this endless expansion, for the sake of money, at the expense of anything that fans actually care about.
