Now that the Kinda smaller 12 has released Texas and Oklahoma to join the SEC in 2024, how do you see the schedule setting up? There has been talk of a pod system or changing up the divisions. There has even been mention of a haves and have nots divisions. The most popular talk lately has been of the divisions being blown up and moving to a 9 game schedule where each team gets 3 permanent rivals and then 6 other games that will rotate year in and year out.
If they do go to a 3-6 setup, who should Auburn's 3 permanents be? Obviously Alabama and Georgia would be there...but who is 3rd? LSU? Florida? Tennessee? Vandy?
If they decided to keep the East and West setup, it would seem easy to me for them to keep almost everyone's 1st and 2nd rivals, but the 3rd might be in jeopardy...so, how important is that 3rd rival?
What I would love to see is keeping the East and West, but actually making them match the geography.
West: East:
Arkansas Alabama
LSU Auburn
Mississippi Georgia
Mississippi State Florida
Missouri Kentucky
Oklahoma South Carolina
Texas Tennessee
Texas A&M Vanderbilt
In this setup, each team would play the other 7 in their division and 2 from the opposite division would rotate on the schedules.
If they go to the 3-6 model you would lose the possibility of a championship game and would lose some pretty good rivalries as well.
Opine.

Pretty sure I read that the divisions are DOA.
I like the 3-6 model.
Why not snag Vandy as our 3rd? Might as well take a break mid-season.

Agree but East is wayyyy too top heavy. You've got hitsortically 5 of the best 6 teams in Sec history there - Au, Bama, UGA, Tenn, Fla. Oklahoma is a heavy weight but not what they were from even 5 years ago. Texas aint shit, lets be honest. LSU to me is their big boy in the west.
-
Meh. We will get what we get. And it won't be what we want.
That is one helluva East division though.
-
As far as permanent opponents go, Bama is really the only one I would never want to lose. I'd trade out LSU for FUGA, not because we've been getting our asses handed to us the last decade, but I've come to love the AU/LSU rivalry.
-
Why not go all Bar Brunt on our 3 and make it Missouri, Vandy and, um..Vandy.

It’ll be the Turds, the leg humpers, and the landsharkblackbearrebels. They, the media, and the interwebz are doing all they can to make that a rivalry that sticks due to recent history.

I'm for this. It's how legends are made.

The thought of a wide open SEC schedule takes me back to a time I’d rather forget.
How many of Bahr Brunt’s eleventy tween sec titles were won because they had Vandy when we had Georgia? Schedule was rigged for them.
And when that didn’t work they pretended they couldn’t get anybody else to play them and added an extra SEC game. That’s why the 1972 Auburn team that beat them didn’t get the Sugar Bowl or an SEC banner. They got it by virtue of having an extra SEC game. Both had one loss. Theirs was to us. But they were 7-1. We were 6-1. Damn.
Probably wouldn’t have mattered. USC went 12-0 and trashed Ohio State in the rose. They were getting the trophy no matter what. But if we’d played Texas or OU or Penn State and won would have been in the discussion.
Whatever happens (and I’m still out) I’d hate to see Auburn thrown back in that rigged scheduling nightmare.
-
id rather do away with permanent rivals all together with this non-division setup. Perhaps keep bama but outside of that, rotate them all. What other school in the conference, or nation even, has a schedule like Auburn when you account for bama/dawgs every year? I say keep one rival and let the rest take a number.

I am with you on this one. Would love a break from the yearly grind that only Auburn seems to face. Plus, it is not much of a rivalry when you've been taking it raw for the better part of 15 years.

With Florida being shat, they get a break after that while we get to deal with LSU.

No doubt. And I’m sure that you remember when we played Bama, lsu, Georgia, Gaytors, hillbillies and tech every single year. Plus black bears and miss state, of course. I guess state was every year. I don’t remember. But then we had Vandy some (that was a treat) and wasn’t it two ooc teams? Some of the old timers will remember, maybe. I was a mere kid.

Toughest schedule ever played, IMO. Worst screw job out of a Natty in history. My counselor says that if I stay with my medication and a few more years of therapy, that tic will eventually go away. Look at where each team was ranked when we played them. FSU wasn't ranked at the time, but were undefeated. And for the last 5 games of the season, we played #5, #7, #4, #19 and #8. Texas was #3 earlier in the season. That Maryland team had Boomer Esiason at the helm.

the 80's were also littered with seasons where we also played Aggie, the Horns and the Noles.

I don’t recall seeing us play the faggies before they joined the conference. But I did see the horney toads and noles play Auburn.

We got A&M in, I believe, the Cotton Bowl around 85' or so.

I know that I was at most of not all of those home games but have very little recollection. It seems like I recall witnessing a bigger ass whipping from Texas at some point. I definitely remember a sitting through a bigger ass whipping from Nebraska. Maybe a year before? I’m not sure but if you googles I bet they put up over 50. Seems that we may have scored but it didn’t feel like it. A real ass whipping. I mean an old fashioned shit kicker.

It was 82'. I was at that game and Nebraska whipped that ass 41-7. The lone score was the first time Auburn fans got a glimpse of what Bo might be. He got a toss around the left side and just as the defender came up to meet him at the goal line, he launched himself in the air and flipped over the guy into the end zone. We all said, Dat boy gooood.

I always laugh when you are talking about a game and someone invariably always throws out the: “I was at that game.”
Every single time. Well, I actually WAS at that game, see. In real life.
I didn’t see you there.

Clayton divorced his wife after he found out she was an n word lover.
On a side note, this was the skit that firmly planted Chapelle as a generational talent in my book. He was already great but this one did it for me. I don’t know who wrote it but they deserve a lot of the credit. His acting was fantastic.

He is one of the greats, similar to Pryor. Inappropriate & offensive comedy is the best kind. “And that is what I appreciates about you.”

You are too kind. I was better before my brain was damaged by an aneurysm and then a stroke. It amazes me, quite frankly, that I’m still much funnier than any of these other motherfuckers.
Keeping in mind, it’s like being the smartest on the short bus. But it does make me feel a lot better about myself.

Hell, the damage coulda got rid of the dumb parts. Glad you're still around. I wouldn't wish either of those things on anyone (my pops had a stroke 5 years back).

Til you, I didn’t know litigators had a sense of humor. Thought it was all leather-bound books, whiskey decanters, and smoking hot mistresses/paralegals/secretaries. All of which I was going to shit on, but now I am just jealous and forgot where I was going with this post.

No, the dumb parts are still very much in play. Strokes are the real deal. Mine was so minor in comparison that I hate to say that I had a stroke. But it still damn near killed me.
I’d honestly rather go meet the maker than experience that ever again. There is zero hesitation in that.
Hope your dad is well.
I’m dumber than I was but it’s all relative. I am like a genius, around these window lickers.

I would not consider litigator as a good description. A telephone settler is probably a better title.
In other words, he calls insurance companies and asks them what it’s worth to them to stay out of court. After chasing an ambulance or finding a slip and fall victim. You honestly don’t need to know Jack shit about the law. Believe me. It’s not rocket science or he wouldn’t be doing it.
The only other paralegal on here specializes in gender equality, I believe. He talks a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo, here to four and what not. A bunch of koonga boonga, if you ask me.
If you really need legitimate legal representation, I’d recommend not seeking it here.

Let's just get one thing straight here about ole Snags. He does NOT seek slip and fall victims - they seek him. Sure, his billboards are every other mile on the ross clark circle, and his commercials run every 7-8 mins during the People's Court and The View, but they ultimately have to make the phone call. Just remember, the minute he picks up to answer - clocks a ticking.

Hanging out at The Old Mill, phone at the ready.
Heard Snags told the bus boy there once after looking at him the wrong way, “You got a choice, Dishwasher. Either you get out of town, or tonight you be out on that street alone.” He was never heard from again.

Let me be clear. No representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.
However, the sucking of cock is much, much better. You damn skippy. My man can lick a dick.
