Anyone else still expecting another good ooc game? Right now we only have one away ooc game.

Looks like our whole announced OOC schedule is good teams. When you have 4 neutral site games, I don't see much reason to also play more than one road game.

I just think we'd want a home and home series that will be a guaranteed home game in 18-19. Right now we're guaranteed 2 away ooc games for 18-19, Rhode Island and UCF, probably 3 if we're in the Big XII SEC Challenge again.

Also, we've played 2 good teams (Dayton, Clemson and Texas, Oregon) on the road each of Avery's first 2 seasons.

That's true too. If we do have another road game scheduled, I hope it's a realistic one to win. I'm all for playing Arizona but that could be a bloodbath.

Here are some highlights of Antwann Burnett who Saban has offered. He averaged nearly 20 points per game in U16 EYBL.

I'd love to add a decent ACC team like them, Miami, Va Tech, or even NC State now that Gottfried is gone.

Va Tech would be good, since they made the tournament last year. Pitt is usually in also, so I would love them.

Yeah UAH is no joke


Too bad they choke every year in the tourney.

But I'm excited for this, wonder if we have to purchase 2 tickets.

On Aug. 9, the Tide will play the first of two games in Ottawa when it takes on Carleton University at 7 p.m. Last season, the Ravens won their seventh straight USports national championship and 13th title in the last 15 years, overall. Carleton finished the 2016-17 season with a 22-1 overall record but lost four seniors from last season’s squad. Hosting six NCAA teams prior to last season, Carleton finished a perfect 6-0, including a victory over the Wichita State Shockers.

The very next day, Alabama will conclude its game schedule in Canada when it takes on the University of Ottawa at 6:30 p.m. The Gee-Gees are coming off a 16-3 season a year ago, finishing runners-up to Carleton in the North Division. Ottawa narrowly missed reaching the USports Final 8, marking the first time since the 2011-12 season it failed to do so.

I saw another article about this, and it said the times listed for those games are eastern time. So just be sure to remember that so we don't miss the game if it's online.
