It seems to me that the longer it takes for the SEC to get its act together compiling the 2012 conference schedule, the more compelling a nine-game conference schedule is going to look. There are only so many tradeoffs those guys are going to be able to stomach.
Poor planning. I find it really hard to fathom that they didn’t consider the scheduling impact of expanding the SEC. This is Business 101.
The Four Functions of Management
Plan – Organize – Lead – Control
Maybe Penn Wagers was put in charge of the process.
Seems like they’re just avoiding the elephant in the room (9 game conference sched or having one permanent and on rotating from the West/East)
BLECH.

Intrigueing painting on the wall. And I’ll bet the old man has to carry a baseball bat to halt the stampede caused by those sultry-appearing daughters.
Is it to late to return TAMU & Mizzou? Did Slive save the receipt?

LOL! It’ll be like in a bad soap opera where we find out it was all just a dream.
Sour grapes or a plug for 9 SEC games? The need for 9 games appears to be inevitable. The postponement of the schedules is the proof.
Noticed the missing Miss teams for a return game in Paul Westerdawg’s schedule yesterday. Put’em in.
Why didn’t they just move Bama and Auburn to the east and move Vandy to the west along with A&M and Mizz? That would have preserved the Bama-Auburn game, the Ga – Auburn Game, the Bama – Tenn game, Ark – A&M would play every year and you could let LSU and Bama play every year as cross division rivals and Ga could pick up another cross division rival.
Emory, I agree with you.
I also would not have a problem with going to a 9 game SEC schedule.
I’m sure LSU would be all over that.
West- LSU, Arky, Ole Miss, Miss State, Vandy, Texas A&M, and Missouri
East- Bama, UT, Florida, Auburn, USC, UGA, and Kentucky.
The team that comes out of that smelling like a rose would actually be Arky.
