Why we as Dawg fans are never happy?

Posted on by

I have a lot of problems with how the SEC operates with officiating at the top of the list, but I would say this is ridiculous.

The SEC schedulers don’t take into account bye weeks when they put together the overall schedule. I’m sure each school gets to request the weeks they would like their bye weeks scheduled knowing their conference opponents and their non-conference schedules already established.

We made fun of Nick Saban complaining about this same topic a few years ago.

Kirby should embrace this with his team as a badge of honor that we are the Big Dawg in the conference.

Discuss.

I've been a Dawg my entire life. UGA was always my dream school where I received 2 Terry College degrees and met my DGD wife. I've been a season ticket holder for over 30 years and love the in-stadium experience over anything from Section HD. My first game in Sanford Stadium was the 1981 Auburn game where we clinched the SEC championship. The best game I've attended in person was the Midnight Miss against Ohio State (nite, nite!). The best home games I've attended were the 1984 Clemson game (the Butler did it) and the 2013 LSU game (that 4th down is still the loudest single moment I've experienced between the hedges). The game I love to win is against the Handbags (FTMF), and the game I hate to lose is the NATS (Tuck Fech).

  1. Meh. I’m not getting worked up over this.

    I will say I reeeaalllyyy hate seeing things like this from the “fans” though. Quit morphing closer and closer into Bama fans.

  2. In 2023 Texas and OU were announced as joining the conference. When the schudule was crated Texas was coming off an 8-5 season and had struggled thru multiple coaches since 2009. Oklahoma had played at a high level for 5+ years except the 2022 season. When the SEC gave us Texas, based on the past, it was the easier of the 2. Ole Miss is playing at a higher level than their historical average. Georgia had the hardest schedule this year, but in 2023 the SEC did not give us a murders row schedule based on the factors they used. The bye complaints will always happen in years with 2 byes.

  3. If you look around at the comments of any other of the fans of better football schools of the SEC. They all believe that the league office is out to get them.

    The thing I believe the league office is committed to is chasing more money. You better not be standing in the way of that.

  4. People’s notions of “fairness” have changed significantly over the last 30 or 40 years! [ducks]

  5. Hey, guys! Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean that someone’s not out to get you!!!

  6. If anyone wants to complain about the 2025 football schedule, it should be Oklahoma. They play Texas(Dallas), @South Carolina, Ole Miss, @Tennessee, @Alabama, Missouri and LSU in a row with a bye between Tenn & Bama. THAT’S pretty brutal.

    This is why I don’t see why fans of other conferences think that the SEC should be playing 9 conference games when playing 8 SEC games is much more difficult than any other conference playing 9 conference games. How many good teams (with difficult home environments) do BIG 10 (18 teams) or BIG 12 (16 teams) play every year?

    • Fans in other conferences don’t understand because they don’t closely follow SEC football. All they see are the scores, or occasionally they may watch a big game. The rest of the time they watch games in their conferences, and they think those experiences are the same in the SEC. A B1G fan might watch their team play at a 4-win Northwestern team and think that playing at a 4-win Auburn team is just as easy. It takes many years (even decades) of experience in watching the brutal nature of SEC football to truly appreciate how hard it is to win.

  7. I don’t think the message board genius even has the facts correct. The only inequity is UT getting an off week before our game that we don’t share. We play an awful Miss State at home. All the other big games are equitable. Get over yourself, buddy, and enjoy the fun games.

  8. In the interest of NFL-like parity, rather than the SEC playing 9 games against our own, maybe each conference should be required to schedule 3 games with an SEC opponent. It would keep us from cannibalizing our own, to a degree, and probably make Vanderbilt bowl eligible every year. Just spitballin’.

  9. If you hate the SEC office now, wait until we’re dealing with Commissioner Saban in the Super Conference.
