And yes, I have a problem with allowing Saban's white trash wedding at The Zone like it's no big deal and refusing to even entertain the idea of holding a heavyweight bout that would have promoted Tuscaloosa's own.
I'd love to have the fight in T-town. He's been loyal to Bama and a huge fan all along so reward that. No problem. I'm just saying I don't know all the behind the scenes of why not have it so I'm not going to get bent out of shape over it.
As for Saban's wedding, it wasn't in The Zone. The reception was. That venue gets rented out to anyone willing to pay the asking price on a date it is available. Having the reception there wasn't the "favor" to Saban. Eliminating the fee probably was.

Going all out the way we did for Saban to make that wedding a "dream come true" type event is what I'm referring to. I understand that he gets what he wants, but if we can get a Rolls-Royce on the football field with fireworks and Big Al dancing with the bride, it shouldn't be hard for us to manage to squeeze in a heavyweight title fight when the champion is from Tuscaloosa and loves the university.
