“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23
No Gurley. No qb experience.
I guess it’s the opposite of 2008. I hope we the opposite result.

By then maybe we’ll have a killer D. 🙂

I like this. This is a good solution.

I’ll save my hand-wringing over losing Gurley until after we see Chubb, Michel, and Turman in action. Now, QB on the other hand…

As long as we have a good D, a good O line, and good RBs, we can achieve a lot with only an average QB. After all, Bama did it with McCarron.

Also looks like it’ll be 13 years between your trips to Tuscaloosa! (2007-2020)

My 2020 vision is that maybe Bama will be bad by then

Hell, by then they’ll already have been on and off probation again and have had Chris Peterson in place for a year or two.

Jeremy Pruitt is not going to like this news. Petersen isn’t from around these parts and he needs to stay west of the Rockies. Besides that, his sense of humor is not SEC-worthy. Jackie Sherrill wants to know why Chris didn’t just shear the balls off Dubs Dubs, the official live Alaskan Malamute mascot of the University of Washington, during Spring Ball for theatrical effect.

We don’t play in College Station until 2024.
That means we won’t play a game there in their first 12 seasons (2012-2023) in the conference.

I’ve seen games at 13 of the SEC stadiums. I was hoping to see Georgia play at #14 (seen us play everywhere but UF), but I don’t really want to wait another decade.

On the bright side, looks like trips to Clarkesdale again in 2016

Pretty good argument for contraction.

Or a nine-game conference schedule…

Amen. If we’re gonna have a 14 team SEC (which I wasn’t a fan of) we should have a 9 game conference schedule. I know the limitations we would have with out of conference scheduling, but the fact that I’m 29 and will likely only live to see 5 more games (at best) vs. LSU in Athens is absurd.
14 teams and 8 conference games flat out doesn’t work.
LikeLike
Nothing says “we’re in the same conference” like playing a home and home once every 12 years.

Even then we still won’t play the old west teams as often as before. you got Auburn plus two per year. now we’ve got A&M stuck in that other two per year even at nine.
I’ve really got nothing against A&M or Mizzou, but this whole expansion thing is a nightmare.

This is about the way the SEC was before the split in ’92. I have little problem with it. I had rather see another game from big 5 outside the SEC than a 9 game SEC schedule.
LikeLike
Sorry but this is not even close to the way it was before the split in 92. For the 24 seasons during the years of 1968 through 1991…
We played Ole Miss 24 times (every year).
We played Alabama 8 times (72, 73, 76, 77, 84, 85, 90, and 91).
We played Mississippi State 8 times (70, 71, 74, 75, 82, 83, 88, and 89).
We played LSU 6 times (78, 79, 86, 87, 90, and 91).
Expand this new format out to 24 seasons and we’ll play each team 4 times.

“I had rather see another game from big 5 outside the SEC than a 9 game SEC schedule.”
But that’s not what you’re getting. You’re getting a non-“Big 5” game. See the 2015 schedule for McGarity’s preferred scheduling format (Southern, Louisiana-Monroe, and Georgia Southern).
