As always, UF gets a bye before playing us. The game gets moved to a new month, and they still have an extra week.

If I had to choose a year for Bama to rotate back on our schedule, it's next year.

I'd like to see UGA play Bama in the regular season sometime this decade...that's not too much to ask is it?

Since we've finally moved back to an actual set rotation, as opposed to the more or less "whatever we can piece together and make work" bridge schedules the conference has been running both this year and the previous, they'll be playing each other sometime in the next 5 years (in all likelihood sooner) that follow 2014, unless the conference adopt a 9 game schedule before then (which in all honesty, they need to)

By that same note, if the current 6-1-1 setup is maintained, UF likely isn't going to be seeing Alabama again in regular season until probably 2020.

Exactly.
The link was not loading for me, so I went straight to that paper's website and found an article about the schedule. The one I read didn't sound like a complaint though.
But, I don't understand why a Gator would be ticked about next year's slate. A gimme game to open the SEC, then a bye before going to Knoxville. Only two things make it hard relative to any other SEC team's schedule - 1) they play both Bama and LSU and 2) they host LSU and Missouri on the next two Saturdays after going to Knoxville. Not exactly a gauntlet stretch unless UT makes major improvements by 2014.

I think that the Florida/Kentucky game should be moved back to mid-November like it used to be. We got 'em pretty regularly when they had to stand in the cold shadows on those chilly November days.

The writer makes a good point overall. But this is what will happen when you have to shuffle the schedule around because of expansion. You will pizz off a fan base.

You have to go back to the 1950s to find a decade when UK "regularly" had its way with UF.

Once in the 1980s doesn't count.

It's a cyclical issue that just so happens to work in UGA's favor right now.

UT and Auburn are both down now. Back in the 90s LSU and UGA were garbage...ditto for South Carolina.

A 9-game conference schedule is inevitable.

WTF? In addition to this year, it's happened one other time in the last decade in 2008.
