Big T Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Apparently LSU/Gumps is going to be permanent. I figured it would be even though @Nutriaitch guaranteed us there was no way it would happen. Word is the leader of the red menace isn't happy so I guess it could change still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants one more NC and then he will retire. He has to see us as an obstacle and he should. To be honest, I'd be okay with not playing them but to see him femaledog about it makes me chuckle (not really cause I don't "chuckle") but you get the point.

I don't understand his whining. They've played those 3 teams annually since 1964. They've done ok 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyO Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Hi, guys! Shane mentioned this forum, so I wanted to check it out. Regarding the topic at hand...I am fine with Alabama and A & M as our permanent opponents, but I am a bit sad about losing Florida. While (most years) Ole Miss is less of a challenge and might lead to an easier win, I love the Florida game every year. On a similar note, it will feel really odd not playing Auburn every year, too.

You're a blast from the past. It's good to hear from you, come back and visit often! I will not miss Fla., although they usually provided an early season test to see what kind of team we really had, the first tough game. I will miss the Auburn game. From 2000 to 2010, the winner of that game usually won the west, and we had some doozies! Close hard fought, won in the trenches, SEC football at its best.

Welcome, Stacey! I always cherish your input! I'd prefer that the SEC drops the 'forced rivalry' between LSU and Texas A&M and would much prefer Florida, Ole Miss, and Bama as our permanent rivalries. I was talking to an Arkansas fan at my local watering hole recently and he had a very interesting and novel solution: instead of having an SEC East and SEC West, simply re-align to have an SEC North and SEC South. SEC South: Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, Miss State, Ole Miss, Alabama, Auburn, FloridaSEC North: Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina Instead of permanent rivalries, each team would play 4 teams in their division one year and play the other 4 the following year. The rest of the schedule would be 3 non-conference games and 3 teams from the other division. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Florida game just feels like it should be part of the line-up. Actually, I feel like it should be Alabama, Auburn, and Florida...but then again, I was not around when LSU/Ole Miss was "the" rivalry for us. That was before my time. For that matter, my younger daughter was accepted to Ole Miss (don't laugh...she saw Jaxon Dart on TV and said, "He's hot. I could pull him..." And she applied that day.) Alas, she ultimately decided to go to Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida, next year (my older daughter will be in Orlando for the Disney College Program after she graduates from North Texas in May.) Hence, I will be in Florida a LOT for at least the next 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the SEC is just setting the stage to the "super conferences" that will be the contenders for championships going forward. I mean, honestly, that's the way it already is...unofficially. And to that point, the national championship has long gone through the SEC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with that is that most of the more difficult teams are in the South division, kinda like the West I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentucky has been above average for a while now and Arky can easily become a pretty solid team. The other thing is that all of the proposed SEC North teams would play 3 of the "SEC South" teams every single year so there would be some reasonable parity in strength of schedule for everyone (including the 'SEC South' teams, who would get a potentially "less strong" SEC team or two every year).
