re: looks like we play @ aTm on Thanksgiving in '14, UK in TS

t was played the week before Thanksgiving through 2004, and then the SEC ordered them to play the week after Thanksgiving, and the game was rescheduled accordingly from 2005 to the present. Yes, that means that the SEC ordered Bama to do something that Bama did not want to do

Alabama and Auburn did not play after 1907 until 1948. From 1948 until 1992 the game was played no earlier than 11/26, which I'm going to guess was Thanksgiving weekend. From 93-06 it was played the weekend before. So unless you have a link that shows that Alabama did not want to move the game but was forced to by the SEC, it looks an awful lot like the game was moved BACK to its traditional date, which leads me to believe it was a move that if not our right supported by both schools was not opposed by them either.

Auburn-Alabama history

Not EVERY move is automatically something a team opposes, most are things people don't care about. LSU-Auburn has been in early Sept and mid October. No one at LSU cares. Other times LSU is forced to do things we object to. When those things start to pile up with little care shown to LSU's wishes, people tend to think they are getting the shaft.
