It's schedule release day. :cheers: :wave: :woot: :pee:
Happening some time tonight. Reminder no divisions and only eight league games for the 2024 year as Oklahoma and Texas join the league.
Who gets to go to Norman and Austin? Who do they get to visit? Which rivalries survive?

I say we get Oklahoma, Texas, FUGA, Alabama, LSU, Tennessee, Florida and A&M all on the road.

Snags clearly got good odds on the under for Auburn this year.

Easy Breezy!!!
Championship, baby.

I know the level of play varies over the years with every program, but think about the fact that before they went to divisions, and common opponents etc., we used to have Bama, FUGA, Florida and Tennessee on the schedule every year. Every few years, LSU would rotate on, but for the most part, those were our common opponents every year.

Auburn and Arkansas always end up getting fucked by scheduling. It’s to be expected at this point.

Texas appears to already know and may have possibly leaked it. If true, we getting Okl.

Definitely. But growing up, it was just a given that Auburn was always gonna' have Tennessee early, Georgia Tech somewhere in the middle, and go into Amen Corner, finishing with Florida (Always right at Halloween) Fuck Georgia, and Alabama.
On a scheduling note, I still think the 83' schedule was the most brutal slate ever played. The number of top 10 teams, most of whom were undefeated when we played them, has never been matched.
Texas, FSU, Florida, Maryland (Undefeated with Boomer Esiason) Fuck Georgia & Michigan. Add to that, on the road to Tennessee, on the road to Georgia Tech, and the Iron Bowl.

Your mom goes to college.
Besides having the turds and leg humpers away, I felt the schedule was pretty reasonable in comparison to other schools' schedules. Not too shabby indeed.

Das only lehben games. Have they not set a 4th OOC game yet?
And somebody pleeeeease, give me a legitimate reason why we keep scheduling UL Monroe, and other Sun Belt teams, but not Troy.

'Ol Larry asked the same question back in 2013. It does seem like blatant avoidance.

Blatant avoidance is 100% correct. I would add embarrassing. So, you're going to play Alabama State, Alabama A&M, Jacksonville State and Samford multiple times, but not Troy? Why? Everybody else in the SEC, not named Bama plays them.

They have not announced the fourth out of conference game for that year yet. Probably thought there would be nine conference games. I expect it'll be Samford or the like.

This is not hard guys.....dont make it hard. Auburn nor Bama - WILL NOT play a home and home with those retards. WILL NOT HAPPEN.

is a home and home what troy asked for? If so, I agree that is ridiculous. I assumed that it would be just like any of the other in state schools that we play. Other than Bama, I mean.

It's exactly what Larry always pushed for. I don't see that it's changed. Troy does not see themselves on the level our ours or Bama's usual patsy. They see themselves as a P5-Lite school that deserves the home/home. It aint gonna happen.

Not the case at all. Neal Brown said they'd love to suit up and go play Auburn and Alabama. He also said neither Auburn or Bama will entertain a discussion about it. Their AD came on our local sports talk show and said the same thing. Troy knows full well that Auburn is not going to take the financial hit of going to play in a 35,000 seat stadium.....unless they have to at Vanderbilt. Plus, Brown was talking about the other Sun Belt teams that AU/UA were playing, and how much they were getting paid. He said Troy wants that pay day, and not have that money go out of State.
There's something weird about the whole thing. Why will we play Jacksonville State, Alabama A&M, ASU, Samford and now South Alabama in 2025, but we won't touch Troy or UAB? If it's the home and home thing, UAB now has a bad ass stadium that could accommodate it. But, it's something else. For any of those other teams, there's 15-20,000 empty seats in JHS. A match up with Troy would fill the stadium, just for the novelty of the fact that it's finally happening. Also, the additional revenue for the City would be much mo bettah than entertaining La. Monroe.
And one thing that needs to be mentioned. Other than Auburn, Bama won't even pick up the phone for ANY in-state school.

I agree. It's as if some higher up at Troy, UAB, USA, & UNA fucked some higher up's wife at both Auburn & Alabama. Only Samford gets graced with a ass whoopin', and it's just from us.

You may be on to something but I fucked most of the x’s board or regents wives and they still let me on here.

Work in Pike County for a nickel. Some nice folks but they are a tough bunch to get in with if you aren't from there or pledge allegiance to the Trojans. Cultish like Texas A&M but with a fraction of the money though more championships in history.
Nothing to be gained from playing them if you are Auburn or Alabama except the chance to get got by an in-state school who will never let you forget it.
Chizik had Iowa State pay money to get out of a game series with them after they did Missouri back in the early 00s. Even that square-jawed jack boot knew what was up.

If we are scared of Troy State, we should consider getting out of the SEC.
I don’t think it’s that. It’s probably more akin to what snake mentioned. Somebody furked somebody’s wife.
That is probably what has held me back from garnering enough support to access the VIP section.

Bull. Crap.
Troy is playing martyr here and always have - they are completely full of shit. It was talked about right when Jacobs became AD and was very obvious where it was heading. Nothing has changed about that. Troy thinks they can bargain with the big boys and then play victim when it doesn't go their way and start the propaganda train about "playing anyone anywhere" and how Bama and AU are scared of them. I really hope they don't believe that in their own minds. A Troy Coach and Troy AD going on a local show in the wiregrass is complete propaganda. They can say anything they want in that arena and pander to the hucksters down there that want to hear.
Weird cultish bunch down there.
Glad my family moved out of that area before I came into existence.

Only people within an hour of Pike County think ANYONE is scared of Troy.

:bs: :bs: :bs: Gotta go into the emoticon vault here. That makes no sense whatsoever. Troy does in fact, play anybody and everybody. Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Nebraska, Miami, Clemson, Tennessee, LSU, Missouri, Okie State and on and on and on. Their coach says they want to play Auburn because they want the money. Their AD says they want to play Auburn...but you say that's propaganda because....???
And yet, here is Auburn scheduling everybody in the Sun Belt EXCEPT Troy?
-
Not to get in the middle of the pissing contest here, but who, other than Troy fans, gives a hot shit about anything Troy related? Who fucking cares if we ever play them?

I don’t get why Troy would demand a home/home with AU if they didn’t get the same with other big schools. I know Mizzou came to troy but he’s don’t think miss state, Miami or Nebraska did.
If they did, then I think it’s ridiculous for them to demand that. I’m an alum of both schools and I like both programs but I’m more of an Auburn fan. But this has more to do with what makes sense for the entire state. Auburn and Bama should play Troy, imo. At home, of course.
If they want a home/home or any game in Troy, no thanks. Take off, hoser.
I agree with the part about Snags being a huckster.

I do. I'd 100% rather see that match up than I would a game with La. Monroe for the umpteenth time. It would pack the stadium, bring far more revenue to the City, and keep that $$$ in State.

I rarely if ever agree with you. Actually, no one ever agrees with you. But this is one time I can get behind you. So, here I am. I’ve got your back side.

I'll agree that a little cupcake diversity would be optimal, but I disagree on the attendance. Don't think Troy has the footprint you seem to think they do. You're too close to the situation, dude.

The footprint is their back yard. He is saying that the it will be well attended because of that. And he’s right, this time.
Maybe only the first game that happens but it will likely be sold out. I’d bet on that.
It’s not like a directional Louisiana school coming to town.
One fucking time that Snags is remotely close to being right and you motherfuckers still pile on the poor soul.

Since :yallfu:, there is ZERO reason for Auburn or Alabama to ever play Troy, South, UNA, Jax. St., UAB, etc.

Why should the flagships have to subsidize the smaller programs? It's not their responsibility. Remove your feelings and search your logic. You know I'm right.

No one but the people really there have any idea what the negotiations and stipulations were like. But the KNOWN is that Troy likes to try and bargain like a big boy. And they are not. The amount asked for, dates, home and home, and on and on.....if they relaxed their asks, it might would happen.

Nebraska isn't ever travelling to Statesboro to play Georgia Southern so Southern settled for making the trip to Lincoln last year to beat Scott Frost's Huskers.
In 2013 Southern traveled to Gainesville and shocked the Gators 26-20.
Nobody wanted any part of Erk Russell's boys in the '80s and Troy has a similar history of embarrassing D1 football programs most often decided by the final possession. A four touchdown underdog doesn't have to win outright in order to succeed.

your reasons have a lot more to do with AU not scheduling Troy, imo. As stated earlier by the homo from Dothan, the positive is keeping the $ in state.
But , contrary to the earlier post from Skinny Jeans, I do not base this on having been born, bred in the wiregrass.
