It hasn't helped in recent history. Doesn't everyone in the SEC have an open date before they play the Devil himself?

Will never understand how things become set in concrete when the results do not justify the mean.

Ive said the same thing. I'd like to see how the team responds when playing the weekend before Bama instead of being off. Routines stay the same and all. The bye hasn't done anything for the team for a while now.

I'd like to see our bye pushed to after the Bama game. That's when our players need the most rest mentally and physically. Schedule a powder puff the week before Bama.

I hate the wait any ways!

Why does everyone keep saying it hasn't helped?

Nothing. They have a bunch of pussies who think 19 yr olds need rest!

It's hilarious

Scheduling an open date (or a cream-puff) before an outstanding opponent is the optimal approach for all of the major SEC schools.

You probably recall Saban getting the SEC to intervene and prevent too many SEC opponents from having open dates the week before they played Bama? He did that because he thinks it affects the outcome.
