re: Evidence showing the SEC schedule bias for Alabama and Auburn

The difference is when bama had a bad schedule with the byes, saban complained and it was fixed immediately. I dont remember any lsu fans having a problem with that.
But when Lsu gets a blatant raw deal on the schedule last year that favors bama, another raw deal with Uga getting moved from bama's schedule to ours in exchange for kentucky this year, and every year with the cross division that never gets fixed, u guys defend it to the death and refuse to admit there could just possibly maybe kinda be some inkling of bias from all those bama alums in the sec offices.

I'm not defending it. I'm saying LSU has a more difficult schedule this year...Just like we did in 2010. It happens.

Yes, it is difficult to agree that there's an intentional bias due to the evidence directly to the contrary in the very very recent past (ie 2010 schej)

Denial- its not just a river in Egypt.
You remind me of those liberals trying to defend hundreds of IRS audits on conservatives by claiming there was 1 or 2 audits of liberal organizations too.

So when Bama is hit with unfavorable circumstances, oh it's just happenstance. But when it's LSU, aw hell no! It's clearly an intentional conspiracy to undermine LSU.
No, Crimson. Nobody is saying that was fair for y'all either. BUT IT GOT FIXED. The easier scheduling for your team vs the harder scheduling for ours has not been fixed though.
And if yall would take your Bear Fedoras off for one second, you would easily see that it is a little strange that there are so many Bama Alum in the SEC office...I'm not sure they are outright cheating by any means but any unbiased party would also think its a little fishy.
Oh an Lsupimp...

Or it could be the fact that Birmingham, being the biggest city in the relative geographic center of the conference at the time of its founding in 1932, seemed like a pretty good place to set up shop.
Then, like any other business in any other industry in any other major city, you can find a significant number of employees for said business who grew up and went to college nearby.

Nearby...being 1 school...that appears to get favored more so than others...

good post. Keep up the good work. As long as we keep it out front where everyone can be aware of it the more chance something could be done about it. I don't understand LSU fans wanting to sweep this bull shite under the rug.

Aside from the fact that the league is supposed to represent all 14 schools fairly and they're all competing and stuff 
Aside from that, nobody would have a problem with lower level office employees being from the same local area, but how many of these huge multi million dollar (as big as the SEC) companies that you speak of, have all their higher up positions filled by such a narrow range of people? It's not like Birmingham is some intellectual hot spot of the southeast.
If its not an advantage, why do you cling to it so dearly? Would it be so irrational to put some new faces in the sec offices? To try to equalize the schedules when possible? To put the headquarters in a neutral site?
I'd love to see how successful bama would be without playing with a stacked deck for the last 60 years or so.

at 63 I have been a LSU fan for many years it has been obvious
that Auburn and Bama have been took care of to the detriment of the rest of the league but it is nice to see it put down on paper thank you!!!!@

So you would then agree it is time to move the SEC offices to Atlanta. Since that is the largest city in the middle of the SEC. That way jobs that come open could actually be filled with people who have no allegience to anyone. All the people in Birmingham who favor Alabama and/or Auburn (mostly Bama) would either have to move or resign. In Atlanta you just might get jobs filled by people who didn't even go to school in the conference. Say, like the guy from Tuscaloosa who went to Alabama who is in charge of scheduling.

Literally the first example I looked at: The Commissioner of the ACC John Swofford is a UNC grad.
ZOMG that explains the Tarheels basketball success

1. The only clinging going on around here is with you LSU fans to your delusions of persecution.
2. The SEC is steamrolling right now. I hope they hire the best man/woman/hermaphrodite/child prodigee/ or signing chimp for the job, regardless of where they studied.
3. Yes. Absolutely. I've been around long enough to witness almost all of the SEC teams cycle in and out of success. I vote get rid of permanent rivals and divisions.
4. Neutral site
If the SEC HQ were to move to any other major Southern city not named New Orleans, it wouldn't take 2 years before LSU fans were complaining about the SEC's outright bias for the team closest to the new HQ

Thank you for the perfect example of TR logic
Perfect solution! There's not a single UGA grad in Atlanta who would want to work for the SEC, not to mention all the others from Auburn, UT, USC, and Bama.

So then you agree on the main point. #3 would solve a lot of this, including giving the sec the appearance of favoring bama.
I really don't care about the site, but Its rediculous having that many people with bama ties in charge of running things fairly- especially with bama's rep for bending the rules.

As long as there are equally distributed grads from all those schools you mentioned, that'd be great! Instead, as of now, the SEC office has an uncanny amount of Bama grads working in it...in the state of Alabama...

I agree that sometimes the schedule is unfair, yes.
I agree that every effort should be made to create a fair schedule, yes.
I 100% do not agree that there is actual premeditated back-room conspired bias.

Dude, first of all, some of the staff LSUpimp listed as Bama alum had their post-grad degrees from UA. Hell, one of the girls listed was from Oxford,MS and an Ole Miss grad. You think she's a Bama fan?
And again, like I said "any other business in any other industry in any other major city, you can find a significant number of employees for said business who grew up and went to college nearby."
For example, if you walk into Entergy Towers in NOLA, guess what? Most of the college grads working there are going to be from LSU. It's called proximity

Please logically explain why we flip flopped the rotating east schedule. I will hang up and listen.
Posted on 7/24/13 at 6:12 pm to More beer please
Because Slive, Obama, the Pope, the Dalai Lama and Jesus Christ himself all despise LSU and have allied, seeking its demise.
