IMO, it’s none else’s turn on the barrel.
No rivalries are being lost here. All the rivalry games will continue to be played every year.
MSU-LSU and MSU-Auburn arent rivalries, but they have generations long history.
It’s been a long time for sure. But nobody really cares about those games. Especially not at Bama, LSU or Auburn. Like I said earlier, it’ll be refreshing to lose to different teams for a change. But don’t worry, they’ll all be back in the schedule soon enough.
I kinda disagree about not caring about those games. Sure, Alabama and LSU beat us a LOT... like... A LOT... I liked those games for the same reason I've grown to like soccer over the years. It's like:
That’s something I’ll never understand. Why do some of our fans actually enjoy getting beat down by Alabama & LSU so often. I 17ing hate to see us lose. A win over anybody is 1,000 times better than yet another loss to Alabama.
Eh I disagree, you’re thinking in TV ratings terms, I’m thinking in terms of the idealist football fan. And it’s all good, it’s not like it sucks watching us play Texas and Tennessee instead of Bama and Auburn, as far as year in year out. But I do value tradition, though Sankey and others obviously don’t.
Disagree. In a weird way, I would rather us lose a close one to Alabama than beat Mississippi Valley by 50. We might as well be in Conference USA if we want to feast on cupcakes.
If the bowls continue to be devalued and go away, I would agree. I’d disagree with you strongly in the past, because the bowls meant something and were a sign you were improving, thus attracted recruits.
It is. But I couldn't care less about playing aTm and Missouri. I'd rather we had this schedule rotation years ago less the swc/big 8 schools.
