I doubt it will take place in the Ga dome.

And sabes is probably my favorite coach ever but he can EAD. This has nothing to do with them.

Why would Saban have a fit?


Maybe because that would give LSU and Florida 2 bye weeks during the season, although it would sorta even out if one of them made the SECCG because every other team but them would get an off week before the SECCG.

Why at the Georgia Dome Dec 3rd instead of Gainesville? Don't get me wrong... I would love for it to be in ATL but what's the reasoning?

How 'bout this?

LSU wins out. We beat UForfeit into the ground on 12/3. But they win the east. We beat them again. In the SECCG. Same stadium.


I like the thought, but the 12/3 game would be in Gainesville, not Atlanta.

Not sure about the reasoning behind saying Saban would meltdown about the move. Its an extra week of rest if his team is playing in the SECCG, with the possibility that he'll be playing UF team without rest.


because I'm sure he's willing to bet he can beat whomever the SECeast champ is and would rather rest for the playoffs. And rightfully so.

I say let Foley sit down with Saban and explain why things happened the way that they did.

Problem I seen is that the selection committee chooses two days after the SECCG. So, now, UF could potentially affect every team in the country due to their incompetence.


I think that's the point of LSUs stance.

It might be better for the SEC to have a game there as scheduled. I think Florida will have a fit that it's not in Gainsville. But since this whole thing is their fault anyway, they should not have a say.

Are you insinuating that we would agree to cancel our home game with USA if we could replace it with Florida? I'd be down.


If Foley can say "we are playing this game in Gainesville" and it gets cancelled b/c of bull shite, then Aleva should tell the SEC "we have a scheduled home game for 11/19, and we are playing in Baton Rouge that day"
If the SEC wants us to play Florida on 11/19, then it's in Baton Rouge b/c we have a scheduled home game for that date for a reason. I think Joe should be a dick back to them and say this.
frick Florida and frick the SEC. We'll do what's best for LSU and LSU only.

frick UForfeit. They had 3 chances to play the game in Pussyville and they pissed it away. Play the game in Atlanta or forfeit. That should be their only two options. Teach their arse a lesson for being chickenshit cowards.

Of course the SEC is not going to push the championship game back. This is smart negotiation. Ask for the moon so that the other party will be more willing to give in on what you really want. This is a tactic to get either the Florida/Georgia game moved or the Texas A&M/LSU game moved would be my guess.

The first bowl game is not until Dec 17th. Moving the SECCG/Bowl Selection back one week wont make a big difference on the actual playoffs.

I don't like how this is sort of losing attention.. If the game doesn't get played and Florida gets into the SEC title game... That would be some bullshite.

This game or the SECCG would have no affect on the earlier games, so they could already be determined, the SEC bowl games typically don't start until 12/28 or 12/29.
