re: Are college football rivalries still important?

Ok I see what you're arguing now. If that happened, I might be fine with leaving Auburn behind. But I didn't go to either school, so my opinion shouldn't hold much weight.

I could never imagine that happening though. I don't think the SEC will ever go to shite. And it's shite will still be better than everyone else's shite. It gives me a headache listening to my FSU friends talk about their seasons. "Ok we have Texas Southern then Wake then BC then Syracuse then Duke and UNC and USF and NC State and Chattanooga." I'd fricking die if that's who Alabama played each year. How is that even fun? I'd never give up a rivalry with Auburn and all the other SEC games to go play that shite.
