Weren't the who's bragging endlessly about their difficult schedule last year? They seemed fine with the "challenge" until the last game of the season which resulted in a L.
I swear man, you make more sense than 99% of us on here. Roll Tide and I fully agree with you!What? Alabama not only caught the rough side of the schedule in the past, they had to do it while facing team after team (including LSU) coming off a bye.
There's nothing wrong with the schedule. Alabama won the national championship having the #2 SoS in the nation. Who was LSU's OOC this year? It was Washington. This is a manufactured issue. The only thing I hate more than the media saying drivel like this is when Alabama fans get suckered into believing it. There will be easier and more difficult years, that's just how it goes. Was Alabama whining when they had to face Peyton Manning each year?
Alabama's SoS was 33, LSU's was 28. Fix what?
If LSU actually was stupid enough to try and follow Tulane, go for it... I just can't believe any Alabama fans are chirping along with them.
We didn't have a bye this year. We played Mississippi State right after UcheaT. Then we play LSU.I normally agree with your posts but you are wrong here and we had a bye before the LSU game. When we had that scheduling conflict every day someone would posts here complaining about it. We complained and they changed it. This guy should complain just as we would if the schedules were reversed. I have Crimson colored glasses but not to the point I can't tell when someone has a legitimate beef. LSU played 4 teams in the final top 10 of the BCS poll one of them being us. We played 2 one of them being them. As an Alabama, fan for having another chance to win a title, we could not ask for a better schedule than the one we have.
I read somewhere after the last expansion the geographic center of the SEC was somewhere near Cullman.Another "the league office is in Birmingham so Alabama benefits unfairly." Funny - how then did we get SIX games against opponents with an off week in 2010? I'm assuming the league office is in Birmingham because that was centrally located before expansion in 92.
The bye week was something that could be remedied. It was an issue because it allowed for selective manipulation. The SEC made a rule that went against Alabama in regards to bye weeks as well. Alabama and Auburn moved their bye week after the game, giving them a bye before the SEC championship. The SEC acted to end this practice. I understand both rulings because bye weeks can be manipulative.I normally agree with your posts but you are wrong here and we had a bye before the LSU game.

There you go again, bringing reason to an emotional argument. How dare you!Just a friendly comment...a journalist in Baton Rouge wrote an article, the content of which may or may not reflect the feelings and beliefs of any LSU fans, administrators, players, coaches, etc. When we jump on here and make comments like "I can't believe these corndogs...", or "LSU should stop whining...", it is the same thing as if LSU fans took everything Paul Finebaum says to be the unified voice of the Alabama nation.

Fair enough. As I was typing it, I thought about saying "this corndog" instead of "these". Hindsight is 50/50, or something like that.Just a friendly comment...a journalist in Baton Rouge wrote an article, the content of which may or may not reflect the feelings and beliefs of any LSU fans, administrators, players, coaches, etc. When we jump on here and make comments like "I can't believe these corndogs...", or "LSU should stop whining...", it is the same thing as if LSU fans took everything Paul Finebaum says to be the unified voice of the Alabama nation.

Tennessee is a permanent Eastern opponent. There's not much Alabama can do about it. As for Kentucky, it's called rotation. Again, Alabama doesn't have much control over the Eastern opponents they play every year. Alabama can't control how good their opponents are either.the Tigers also have to play at Georgia and host Florida, teams that tied for first in the SEC East this past season with 7-1 marks.
Alabama’s two opponents out of the East? Tennessee in Tuscaloosa and Kentucky on the road, teams that went a combined 1-15 in conference play and are breaking in new coaches.
Tennessee has been Alabama's permanent opponent for many years.LSU is saddled with Florida as its permanent opponent, while Alabama has Tennessee.
"It's a conspiracy I tell ya! They workin' for dem bammers" That's how I perceived this quote.The football scheduling plan comes out of an SEC office in Birmingham, Ala., that fairly or not has long been seen as being too close to the Alabama campus — geographically and philosophically — for the rest of the conference’s good.
No, we just play the Sugar Bowl there... and, of course it was fair when Alabama had to play LSU for the national championship in New Orleans.If we put the SEC office in New Orleans, would that make him happy?
Agree....though LSU has said that they want to stop playing Florida every year.Just a friendly comment...a journalist in Baton Rouge wrote an article, the content of which may or may not reflect the feelings and beliefs of any LSU fans, administrators, players, coaches, etc. When we jump on here and make comments like "I can't believe these corndogs...", or "LSU should stop whining...", it is the same thing as if LSU fans took everything Paul Finebaum says to be the unified voice of the Alabama nation.
