re: Chris Low (ESPN): All SEC Schedules Aren't Created Equal

I would rather you and everyone like you not look like a bunch of stupid pussies because you prefer to hold you butt cheeks open so an Alabama Alum can have his way with you.

I would rather the SEC divide the SEC into a East and West division that has teams in the East play in the East and Team in the West play in the West.
[edit clarification=if you are in the west geographically you should be in the western division or stop calling it east and west]

I would rather the schedules simply rotated so that every team gets the same eastern schedule over time and vice versa. A level playing field.

Why requesting a level playing whining. Aren't the rules suppose to be unbiased. Aren't the visiting team required the same equipment and amenities?

If your team has heaters on the sideline the visiting team has to have them as well. If your teams head sets break. The other team has to turn theirs off. Why? To make it a level playing field.

Having dedicate out of division opponents mean it is IMPOSSIBLE to have a level playing field. It doesn't matter if it is LSU getting screwed or not. If LSU isn't the one getting screwed then that means some other team is and that is wrong.

If it is awesome to play Florida every year then you are screwing Texas A&M because they now only get to play them half as much.

Just make it fair. It isn't hard and you don't need non alabama alumni to make it fair. Just do what is right.

If the fanbase has no complaints, then it's probably not seen as a problem.

Catch-22. If you complain, you're whiny. If you don't, well, it must not be that big a deal, right?

...meanwhile, Alabama chokes against A&M and still wins the National Championship.

I don't disagree that LSU fans can be whiny bitches. I hate our fan base the majority of the time. But, the complaints about the schedule are problably the worst example that you could think of to prove that point.

LSU fans have a very valid complaint whether you want to admit it or not.

That makes no sense. That's like playing a baseball game where one team is only allowed one strike, and then you say, "well, if y'all would've hit the ball, you probably would have won."

Beating Bama, alone, would not have gotten us anywhere. We still would have had to beat all but one of Florida, A&M and South Carolina (which we did, accomplishing more than Bama did in its season). All Bama had to do was beat us, and they could still afford to lose to A&M because they didn't have any other tough teams. And the schedule was (and continues to be) set up for them to be able to lose to us and still win it all because the odds of us going 10-1 or better against the murderer's row we have to face are extremely remote. If we lose to them, we are boned because they are set up to make it nearly impossible for them to lose two other games. And besides, even if they lose to us and we go undefeated, they are still set to win it all because their schedule makes it fairly easy for them to win all the rest of their games just like 2011.

Apologists for bullshite, people that want to blame their own team when they get screwed, that's just so inferior imo. It doesn't take much to stand up for people who are getting screwed, especially when you are supposed to be on their side. It takes nothing at all, no brains, no courage, no guts, nothing, to hide behind excuses because you're afraid of how you'll "look" to everyone else.
