Saban's already crying over Bama's permanent SEC opponents

[PMC2726]

Everything in the SEC goes in cycles. That’s what we are seeing now with TN’s success.

Saban has protected the Bama/TN game for years. You can have a syndical view as to why, and you may not be wrong, but I don’t think he’s asking to kick UT out of Bama’s permanent 3 team schedule. He’s got his sights on LSU.

Gotta have Florida there. I was thinking Florida, Alabama, and Kentucky or vandy.

We’ll see If that happens or not. That potentially gives Florida games annually versus UGA, maybe Auburn or LSU and us. A lot of media people think Florida will get UGA, Auburn or LSU and South Carolina.

 

[DaddyChad]

I am crying about Tennessee's as well.

I like Alabama and Vandy but South Carolina? Why not Kentucky or Florida?

Meh, whatever. South Carolina and Kentucky are about equivalent imo. Kinda of surprised they didn’t go with Kentucky if the rumors are true given how many times the two teams have played.

Link?

… and who do we get - Alabama, Georgia and Florida? “I don’t know about that…”

 

[Dissident]

He's right.

 

[DonDiego]

Kirby is quickly making Nick irrelevant, and Heupel is on their heels.

 

[VolBallGuy]

Dam I hate losing Florida on the schedule every year. I grew up on it.

 

[Rocky Top T]

We need Kentucky! I hate them too!

 

[hog88]

This is why expansion sucks. Who hasn’t looked forward to the Bama, Florida and UGA games every year? Those games were the measuring stick of where we are. UK and Vandy bring no excitement or anticipation to our schedule. Not to mention respect.

He hasn't "protected Bama UT game" that's wrong

HAHAH! Whining like a little girl that didn't ger her way.

Little Nicky is fuming.

3 permanent SEC teams (LSU, Auburn, and Tennessee), according to a 24/7 article. What a pu$$..........

Who does Georgia get?? It’s like the sec is replacing alabama with Georgia. I bet Georgia gets a pansy ass schedule, they’re gonna be getting the alabama treatment now.

 

[fossilfiction]

I guess I have a different view than Saban since I am just a fan. I would rather see Tennessee play Alabama, Georgia, and Florida every year. Iron sharpens iron right.

HUH?????????????????????????????????? All I did was ask for the link to the Op's post source.

He's about ready for retirement anyway!!!

He's about ready for retirement anyway!!!

Let’s hope so.

 

[Voldog1998]

You mean the ones in the SEC office in Birmingham that are bought and paid for.

Why in the hell is the SEC offices still in Birmingham?

He has all 5 star players but needs a preferential schedule to go with them. How about doing some of that coaching stuff instead of loading up?

Tennessee stars look back at win against Alabama and want to see it happen more

That's definitely a more challenging lineup than ours lol. He's going up against a team that will compete for the SEC East especially during seasons where they don't have to play Georgia, Hugh Freeze and Brian Kelly

The new expectation is that UT's permanent opponents will be Alabama, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt.

I think Beamer did some special things last year and will be a problem for us. Hopefully we get those guys at home the same season we don't play Georgia one of these years. I am still not sure if Beamer will do at SC what Freeze and Kelly will do at their schools. I guess some of the seasons we do not see Georgia we will be facing at least one of those guys. So, I am wondering how much of a difference this is really going to make.

 

[Doctrippin]

Some games have to be kept. Iron Bowl is one and UGA/AU is another. It's the oldest consequtive series in college football.

 

[rdk4121]

Haven't they been playing those 3 teams every year for the last 90 years? Why is it a problem now? They were always going to get us and auburn. Drawing LSU certainly isn't fun, but they've played in the same division forever.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Saban cries if his cornflakes get soggy. What else is new

 

[901 Orange]

Well we've played Fla, UGA, & Bama every year for decades so nobody here feels sorry for them.

 

[Fightmaker]

For a man who is widely regarded as a winner and a legend, he sure does bitch and whine a lot.
