Anyone else irritated by the Iron Bowl date?

I, for one, am pretty ticked that it's even Thanksgiving weekend but to have it on the Friday after Thanksgiving??  That sucks.  It really makes it hard on people who travel and it's just a stupid idea.  It makes it hard, or in our case impossible, to get together with friends b/c everyone is traveling to see family for TG. 

I think it's safe to say I hate this new date and hope it doesn't stay like this for long.

Ovarian Mass = removal of left ovary & tube 9/13

Removal of  ruptured right tube 5/8/14
IVF or adoption??

    well I hate it being the wknd of Thanksgiving in general.  When your DH works for athletics and football you have no choice but to live by the teams schedule. 

    It was supposed to be Sat but then they changed it to Fri b/c of TV.  I liked it MUCH better when it was the wknd previous as it has been for a while.  I wish they'd go back to that.

    We already never know what Christmas is like b/c of bowl games - it may just be he and I in a hotel whereever the game is b/c they would report b/f Christmas.  My mom understands but it's still going to be weird.  I personally am REALLY hoping for an after New Years game so that we wouldn't have to be there until after Christmas.  Brad would rather it be sooner to get it all over with.

    Thus our lives.

    When it's an away Iron Bowl game for us, it's worse. 

    oh well!!!  My parents are coming here so I'm lookign forward to it and they are going to the game w/us.  Mom already has her orange all ready!!!!

    I do not like the timing at all. I personally feel as though all teams should have a break this week so that they can spend a little time w/ their families.

    I also dislike that it is a Friday day game-when some still have to work.

    I just accept it.  I married into it and knew what I was getting into.  Luckily I'm a fan and alum so it makes it easier.

    Next year is when it will be hard w/a LO.  I won't be able to take her to all the games like I'm used to but my BFF who goes w/me to the games has offered to help.  Plus I won't be going to away games anymore.  We don't have family close (closest is 3.5 hrs), so I will probably be apart from Brad for Thanksgiving next year (he is going to hate being apart from me and his new daughter!!!!) and who knows about Christmas.

    My family is flexible with us thankfully so we just play it by ear every year.

    But yeah, if they have practice/have to report, so does he for the most part.

    I just have to accept it and embrace it.  I'm used to it now but I know it will be different next year.

    I don't know what Bama does but AU invites the players and families for a Thanksgiving meal tomorrow so everyone is together.  That way their familes are here w/them and it makes it easier.

    Brad says it's top notch.

    and if a player isn't playing/dressing out, then they don't have as much to report for and if they are close can go home and come back.

    But I agree, I liked it MUCH better when we had Iron bowl the previous wknd and not the holiday one.

    Unfortunately ladies...its going to be like this until CBS decides otherwise. And seeing as CBS in contracted with the SEC for like another decade or so...well I guess we are screwed!

    Maybe after next year (its supposed to be on Friday again) they will change it so it does not interfere with holidays!
