I agree w/ you about the "permanent" East opponents, so I guess that means I disagree w/ Coach Miles. Ala. has traditionally played UT "the 3rd week of October" -- this is a known rivalry, and, UT hasn't always sucked as they do now (and have for several yrs.)
On the other hand .... let's look at LSU playing So. Car. in '12, and UGA in '13, while Ala. plays ... Mizzou and KY.
When you're talking about a razor thin difference b/w programs, where one game matters, the difference b/w playing a UK, and a UGA, is huge.
THAT's the problem.

You mean the AL.com article full a speculation on why, holds as much weight as the bleacher report. Probably sourced it from Phillip Marshal

And yall just got through playing those easy teams(UK, UT, Vandy) from the west. You cant have them on your schedule every year, no matter how much you'd like it

I don't see it as a problem. There's only so many teams to choose from each conference and strengths of teams fluctuate all the time. Things like this are bound to happen. If LSU wins these games, it looks a hell of a lot better than Mizzou and KY wins. Oh and btw, LSU is good enough to handle these kinds of schedules.

As they have for the most part. LSU has dominated the SEC since 2000', despite the "horrid" Schedule

1st off, the only SEC east schools that will be out recruiting UT will be UF & UGA. USCe has not been, nor will be a recruiting machine. Most of the experts believe that UT will finish in the top 10 in recruiting this year, and are currently sitting at #3. It's not like UT all of a sudden moved to east Tennessee. A good coach can recruit there, they just have to recruit more out of state kids. But they had to do that back in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s also, and they didn't seemed to have a hard time pulling in top 10 recruiting classes then.
Auburn will also get a lot of kids who might have gone to Tennessee. Ole Miss and LSU pull a lot of kids from Memphis now. USC will get a lot of kids from South Carolina that would have gone to Tennessee in the past. Just because their classes aren't ranked as highly doesn't mean that they won't hurt Tennessee. Clemson will as well, to an extent.
Tennessee, in its prime, was Tennessee because it was often the unquestioned big dog in many areas. The exposure and money that everyone has now has nullified that. I'm not saying they won't be respectable, but they will not be consistently dominant.

Damn, I even provided the link for your stupid arse.
It was from Jon Soloman, ALABAMA'S BEAT WRITER QUOTING ALABAMA REPRESENTATIVES.
And I provided the google search term. There are a dozen sources saying the same thing. AJC, Bham news, etc etc etc.
How damn dumb are you? For real?

From the AJC:
Provided Kenneth Starr and Baylor don’t get litigious again, Missouri is expected to become the SEC’s 14th member at any moment. And with Missouri and Texas A&M arriving as Nos. 14 and 13, somebody from the current SEC West will have to move to the East for the sake of balance. Most folks expect the mover to be Auburn — although Alabama, being its selfish self, is making noises about preferring that its arch-enemy stay put — and how would Auburn feel about upping sticks?
Pretty darn good.
Auburn is based in the Central Time Zone by the grace of 25 miles. It’s almost as close to Atlanta’s southern suburbs as to the capital of Alabama. The Tigers’ greatest rival has always been the school in Tuscaloosa, duh, but for most of Auburn’s existence its next-biggest rivals were Georgia and Florida and Tennessee. (And don’t forget Georgia Tech, which is now out of reach in the ACC, which will require some realignment of its own. Auburn students would hold a Wreck Tech parade — I once covered it — before that annual game.)
How many more you want?
As I said, I provided the search term already. You can read the exact same thing from Bham news, AJC, saturdaydownsouth, collegefootball talk, mrsec, etc, etc. They are all on the first page of the google search.

Bama/UT was to preserve their rivaly.
Which makes sense.
If Auburn moved to the East, then Bama would have to choose which rivalry game to keep.
I guess you could move Vandy and Mizzou to the West and move Bama and Auburn to the East but that would be so horribly unbalanced it's not even funny.
Ultimately that's why the Big Six have to be split in half -- 3 in the West, 3 in the East. It works. Or at least it did before expansion.

Not a single article you linked has any quotes from anyone at The University of Alabama stating they didn't want Au to move to east & they were Scared of Au in the east.
Just a bunch speculation, probably leaked/sourced by Au nut jobs who wanted to run away from Daddy to the east because they know it's going to be a futile effort to best Bama. Au got scared of Bama and Saban and wanted to tuck tale to the east as they know they can't compete with Bama, LSU and now A&M and were falling behind Ark as well. But when the conference said No Au blames in on Bama and the RRC. Meow

Again who is wearing the tinfoil hat here? This kind of reinforces the deleted thread this morning with the hypocrisy

That thread got deleted?
What a shame

How would moving aubarn's name to the SEC East suddenly make them a recruiting powerhouse to be feared anyway? It's not like they would move the university to Atlanta.
