But, whatever. This is fine. Just don’t expect people to keep coming back for this shite product if Birmingham is going to manipulate every team’s season in one school’s favor.

Bingo. All of those complaining about the “whining” should consider that there is an immense, massive amount of whining regarding empty seats in the Bama student section, LSU fans leaving early, selling tickets to the opposing teams fans etc. But the Bama students knows there is zero drama in their entire schedule, any outcome other than average 28 points in 1H is nearly impossible. The LSU fans the same, they figured it out after Jan 2011. They know the whole biz model. They realize that there is a huge structural problem with the CFP and SECCG system, they know why it’s like that, they know where the league office is, they know how the schedule is determined. They know the worst thing possible is to be forced to go to the SECCG. If the outcome is known it’s hard to expect the fans to attend or even the recruits to go anywhere but Bama. It’s called killing the Golden Goose. The people calling for the league office to move to neutral state and fire anyone w SEC ties are spot on. It’s not fair to the players, students or the fans and people know it’s not. And Midget Nick is correct to be upset that the student section is empty, it should be a warning sign and alarms should be screaming throughout the conference. Instead they pull this bullshite w DWhite (which they also pulled this season with UT and Mizzoo btw) which only reinforces that the fans are correct. They better fix it or in 5 years they’ll have stadiums looking like the NFL - half empty.
