Remind me again what happened with the bye week issue.

The bye week issues was an issue for years. It wasn't until the 2010 season when 6 conference teams had bye weeks before playing us (the next closest was 2 or 3). After that, Mal Moore finally put his foot down on it.

Since 2007, these are the number of SEC games played when the opponent had an open week prior to the game:

17—Alabama, 5—LSU, 4—Vanderbilt, 4—Florida, 4—Tennessee, 3—Georgia, 3—Auburn, 2—Kentucky, 1—Ole Miss, 1—Mississippi State, 0—Arkansas, 0—South Carolina

So that had been going on for years prior to Mal finally complaining about it.
