When Your Regular Season Is the Hardest in SEC History

Posted on by

Then maybe a Championship game feels like it’s just tacked on.

Tickets are cheaper for this than they were for the home game against Tennessee. Heck, cheaper than the home game for Auburn.

For all that oil money, Texass isn’t brining anything interesting to the table, either. Looks like if you didn’t have anything else to do this weekend, you could get into the Benz on the cheap.

  1. If the place isn’t packed, Sankey doesn’t care … the tickets are sold. The long-term question is much bigger. If people who have had those tickets since the game being at Legion Field in Birmingham don’t renew and they can’t sell them at the premium they’ve gotten in the past when Alabama hasn’t been in the game, that’s bad for business.

    All I got to say to that is, “You made your bed, Greg. Now you get to sleep in it.”

  2. The cfp expan$ion tentacles have reached the cheap $eat$ and probably cheaper if you wait till game time with some ca$h in hand….#YOURCASHAIN’TNOTHINGBUTTRASH!!!

    • If you have the nerve to wait until the National Anthem, the bottom drops out of the online secondary market. Then they pull them all not long after kick off. That’s your key hole. I’ve never had the guts to try it myself, but you can watch it happen.

  3. The only time tickets were really high for this game was when we played bama. Auburn, LSU, Arky were all much more affordable. This doesn’t surprise me. Should help our fans take the place over as well.

  4. Yes, this is what is going to be the downfall of the conference championship games…. I still feel bad for the Ole Miss fans we met in ’22 sitting behind us – they had the package since the beginning, and are still waiting; could not imagine still living in the ’90s….

  5. Just Spitballing here. Maybe if Dawg fans hadn’t been treated like ATM machines in Austin, Tuscaloosera and Oxford – along with the normal Classic City price gouging and Florida expenses plus a kickoff classic and trying to figure out where we’re going for two other “playoff” games and we were playing a real SEC team not some turds propped up by the cheating SEC bitch ass refs and (typing redonkulous run on sentences). Maybe, checks notes, then we’d give a rat’s ass about a Championship game that the World Wide Mousekateers Leader completely undermined against a team that nobody other than Wooderson cares about. Maybe?

  6. According to Larde the brackets are set regardless the outcome of the championship. Texas already has a by. So the SEC Championship game is a meaningless exhibitionish pre-bowl bowl game?
    Am I understanding this correctly?

    • The teams that aren’t competing in the championship games are “stable” per Manuel. The winners and losers of the game can flip flop but the rest likely wont move “much”. In other words, bullshit.

      Larde. I like it…I’m admiring and acquiring that wordsmithing for future literary abuse of the CFP Committee. Kudos.

  7. To paraphrase Margaret Thatcher, “The problem with CFP expansion is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”

    • Well done. I’ll follow that up with something that her contemporary said many many years ago. From Ronald Reagan: “If you give the easiest schedules to the schools with the most money, the benefits of those easy schedules will trickle down to Mickey and the gang” or something to that affect.

  9. The game just means less.

    People are tapped out, plus waiting on round 3 versus Texas in the tournament.

    • Hell, I have to attend a wedding late tomorrow afternoon (a family of Aubs) and I am not even that upset about it. I’ll drink their free beer and keep up with it on my phone. Two or three years ago, I am definitely figuring out a way to bail on the wedding. Now, its just a big meh.

      • LOL! Auburn fans knew they were safe scheduling a wedding at the same time as the SECCG.

    • That is one of the most (potentially) disappointing things to me, is just a series of rematches for us [barf emoji] with the potential to play Oregon in the quarters. Its almost to the point where I don’t care who or where we play as long as it is not the 3 SEC teams or Clemson (and Oregon)….

  10. Not onl.y has the playoff devalued the regular season, championship game Saturday has been devalued.

    But it is all about tv viewers and the number of games viewed.

  11. Let’s win the SEC Championship, that is still important.
    Then let’s go0 win it all.
    The SEC Championship is still a big thing.
    GO DAWGS
