re: The prospect of big 12 rivals playing twice a year (potentially a lot)

If you win a rematch, do you burn the same couch?

Did you even look at the series history
LSU did not play Georgia for 25 years from
1953 to 1978.
Someone may be able to let me know when the SEC stopped allowing schools to make their own schedule but using my mind I could say maybe around 1978.

You say that the LSU game with Georgia is important if it was important why didn't LSU play them when they had the chance. They could have played Georgia every year if they wanted to

possibility of playing OU twice is extremely bizarre to me.

Don't worry, you won't have to play them twice.

I am not the one who claims that the UGA game with LSU is important.
It wasn't important in the 50's 60's nor 70's when they could play each other every year
All I said was research your school's history.
Only reason I knew this is my long time on again off again GF is a UGA alum.
I have found myself becoming a slight fan of UGA so I research their history. I know the schools they have history with in the SEC and the ones they do not.
So when you made a point about LSU not playing in Athens I jumped on it.

I guess you are upset because you are wrong that is all right with me. I take no offense for your stupidly the first time.

I also hate that the Big 12 is on shaky ground. As a traditionalist I'm tired of losing rivalry games because of super conferences. So why if Texas goes PAC 12 and SEC gains Okie State and OU. That means LSU gets to forge rivalries within the state of Oklahoma every year and travels to traditional SEC places like Athens and Knoxville once every 20 years. That sucks...

This so much. My school has lost rivalries with Pitt, VT, Penn State and Maryland because of conference realignment and it sucks.

Conference realignment in general sucks. No way we should be in the Big 12, Maryland in the Big 10, Mizzou in the SEC, Colorado in the PAC, etc.

yes its really dumb

the stupidest thing the Big Ten did under Leaders and Legends was to have Michigan and Ohio State in different divisions...

Purdue/ Indiana could play twice

The rematches in the SECCG were never between Auburn-Bama, Florida-Georgia, etc. The rivalries within the division are most intense when compared to cross-divisional ones.

And the SEC ends up in some odd situations from time to time. Bama-UF in the SEC championship game in 2008-2009 led up to lots of offseason talk for the regular season game when it rolled back around in 2010. We all know Florida went on that run after Tebow cried in 2008 after the Ole Miss loss. Then Alabama made him cry again in Atlanta in 2009.

While not a traditional rivalry game that happens every year, it was starting to feel like it. In 2010 they were both preseason top 5, and all of the offseason talk was it didn't really matter who won in October, it was all about the rematch in December and who would be conference champs. Of course Florida got demolished by Alabama, then lost the next two to LSU and MSU, and lost two more down the stretch. It sort of cheapened the regular season game some.
