Then UGA and UTK would pout.  Can't have any helmets pouting.  Just stick Mizzou in the East.  Makes about as much sense as putting the Braves in the NL West for 4 decades.....
Why would UGA pout? DSOR would be in the annual East rotation. The only issue would be Bama's permanent cross-divisional opponent. Personally i wouldn't care if Bama played neither the barn nor ut on an annual basis.

UGA would not care.  They play Auburn each year, same as today, and pick up a lock in the West, maybe Alabama, heh, that would be cruel.

Anyway, it was just a rumbled proposal, not something to take seriously or worry about unduly.

Maybe the SEC would do away with universal locked pairings.

HAHAHAHAHA

The Bama-Auburn-UGA-Tenn quartet would never let that happen.  They're the reason the rest of the conference has invented, permanent, cross-division rivals, so that they can.
UGA would have no dog (pun intended) in the fight. And the obvious reference to LSU-UF is surprising. LSU fans bitch and moan about it all the time. I rarely hear a UF fan complain. Neither have a legitimate complaint because the two schools, with no guns to their heads, scheduled each other for 36 of the 39 years prior to the "invented" match up in 1992. With the exception of 1968-1970, they played every year from 1953-1991, with UF holding a slight 17-16-3 advantage. Wonder why the SEC thought they might be rivals?

Yeah, USCe is not a rival with A&M either, most are contrived.

I'd be OK playing Alabama each year.

Why do old people say WaRshington?  Or is it only Lee Corso?


What Price did at WSU was nothing short of spectacular.  His good seasons there weren't just big-offense/good luck, they stopped the run, too.  Helluva coaching job.

My wife gets on me for saying I warsh my clothes. I tell her you have heard of a silent E, well there is an unwritten R in wash.


BTW it is not an old person thing, it is a central Ohio (midwestern thing) maybe comes from the Appalachian migration into Ohio

I don't know exactly where the cut-off is but I can tell you that it is prevalent in SE Ohio and not common at all in NE Ohio to put an "r" in Warshington, Warsh, etc.

There s a convergence of north Midland and south Midland dialects which explain the narrow band of speech which has given us areas of the Midwest which pronounce Washington and wash, as Warshington or warsh. 

This extends into Nebraska as well.  

It seems to die out when you head north of I-70 in Indiana and Ohio, but is found north of 70 in Nebraska, Missouri and Illinois and Iowa.  Again, not widespread but noticeable.

A lot of people in St. Louis--including my mother in law--say "warsh."

Then there are the New England accents, and Old England accents, that inexplicably add an "r" to words that end in a.  Such as, "I have an idear."  Curiouser and curiouser.

And, come to think of it, my late father in law, raised in small-town Duncan, OK, said "worsh."  He left there in his teens, and was an educated man, but some of the ways he learned to talk stayed with him his whole life.
I remember my 9th grade history teacher in Gadsden, AL, dropped the "r" in words like "washer" but added an "r" to the end of "window."

My dad and both his mom and dad always said “warsh.”  I find the way people talk very interesting.  When I was a kid every time our pastor wanted to say the word favor he would say flavor.  Like in we want to find “flavor” with God or when we played basketball on Monday night he would say “it’s 10-8 our flavor.”  My father in law never could say the word shrimp correctly.  He always took the h completely out of the pronunciation.

I don’t know if it’s an Appalachian our southern thing but we take the g off the end of most words.  Nothin’, somethin’, eatin’, etc.  My wife will sometimes chide me for how I pronounce the contraction “doesn’t.”  Often I will pronounce it “Dutton.”  Like if she asks me where I want to eat I’ll say, “It Dutton matter.”  I know how to say it but it just flows to say it like that to me.

So true and yet my Bostonian wife with her adding r's and dropping r's all over the place makes fun of me. LOL

I lived in Ohio so long my relatives started having Southern accents.

I recall listening to a Podcast that Michiganders put an "s" on the end of stores that don't have them, and it seems to trace back to Henry Ford, that it wasn't just Ford, it was his actual company.  It was his plant.  Ford's plant.  I took a test, and failed miserably on which chains actually have an S at the end of them.

The biggest one I've noticed in Pittsburgh is the dropping of "to be".  So it's "the car needs washed."
