And UNC

"The 66 suites are laid out on two levels and will connect to the East side expansion, which opened in 2000. Each suite has 15 seats and standing room for 23 more for a total of 3,518."

38 x 66 = 2,508
:confused:

Also in Russia. I think I see stapler guy from office space.

Damn you TCU

---

The Towson game has nothing to do with TCU. TCU was never scheduled for 2012. Why do people keep saying this farce.

quote:

---

Va Tech was scheduled to make a return trip to BR in 04... not 03 like a lot of people are saying.

---

This. We replaced them with Oregon state on the schedule.

quote:

---

Florida has been a consistently stronger program than Tennessee for 20 years.

---

True, but what about before that? Florida wasn't much to speak of before Spurrier so it wasn't out of the question to say that UT was as strong or stronger a program than Florida in 1992. I don't think the difference in the two is big enough to say that Bama was given an advantage, which was my point.

quote:

---

No, it isn't, but that's no reason to intentionally inject more unfairness into it. The point of most sports is to make it as fair as possible, knowing it won't always be completely fair.

---

I don't think it was intended to be unfair to anybody. Just that the conference was trying to preserve annual matchups between rivals which I have no problem with.

quote:

---

And they can beat one ranked team the whole year and still play in the NC game.

---

Not sure what point you're trying to make here, but I'll say this: I don't like to make excuses when we lose. So if we have a hard schedule and drop some games then it's nobodies fault but our own. Even though I thought we got screwed having to play Bama again and even though we had a better record and split the season series 1-1, we should've won that game if we wanted to be national champions but we didn't.

quote:

---

Of course they're not. Alabama was gifted an opportunity they didn't deserve and didn't earn. And typical of Alabama fans, they are actually proud of being given what they didn't deserve. But what can you say about a program that bases its entire identity on decades of cheating to win? That doesn't really have anything to do with the SEC schedules going forward, but I guess it's been addressed in the thread so it's fair game.

---

Agreed. And it's always fair game to bash on Bama.
:cheers:

quote:

---

And "so be it" is not the appropriate response to the observation that Alabama is being given an advantage.

---

Alabama was not being given an advantage when they were given Tennessee as their permanent in 1992. UT was, and can be again, a very strong program. You can't just look at the last two seasons and say UT sucks so Bama has an advantage.

And I say "so be it" because life, and sports, isn't always fair. If we have a harder schedule than Bama then we just have to deal with it and beat whoever is on that schedule including Bama, which is exactly what we did last season. And then Bama got a second chance at us, proving my point that things aren't always fair.

quote:

---

UF and Jeremy Foley want this changed too. Do you think they're scared too? No, they're realistic.

---

Realistic about what? Obviously Alleva and Foley think there is some percieved competitive disadvantage to playing each other every year. I use the word percieved because we're talking about the two winningest SEC teams the last decade so I don't see how either team is really at a disadvantage. If we don't play UF then we'll have another good east team on the schedule. Having both Vandy and UK the same year would be rare.

quote:

---

I'm talking about the actual contenders.

---

Yes, and the contenders play each other every year yet they still contend. Look, the permanent opponent rule wasn't created in the spirit of fairness, it was created in the spirit of tradition which I agree with. If Bama has an easier road to Atlanta in a given year then so be it. It won't always be that way. Since we play in the same division, our schedules will be pretty even most of the time.

quote:

---

What?

---

If Mizzou moves to the west, Bama or Auburn will most likely move to the east. So if this happens and we do away with permanents then we would lose UF and probably AU off our current schedule. There are LSU fans that actually want this.

quote:

---

I want to win titles. Period. I could give a shite what teams we play to get there, as long as we do. We're in the SEC, we're going to play all these teams, so crying about it like you're doing doesn't make much sense to me.

---

I want to win titles too. But unlike you, I want to do it while preserving rivalries since that is one of the things that makes college football so special. If you want to call it crying then that's fine. I guess all these LSU fans and LSU administrators are "crying" that we have to play UF every year. Personally, I call it giving an opinion but you call it whatever you want.
