The Alabama fan base hasn't had a chance to experience traveling to a P5 non-SEC campus since 2011. That's fricking ridiculous. Awesome road games to college campuses is what college football is all about. If I want to see Jerry World, I will go to a Cowboys game. And Jesus Christ I feel like we play more games in Atlanta than in Tuscaloosa. Atlanta is like our new Legion Field. We play all our big games there and have a shite home schedule in Tuscaloosa.

Saban is 100% to blame for this. The Penn State series was scheduled back in 2005. They had home and homes set up with Michigan State and Georgia Tech but ended up cancelling both of those series and there's been zero whispers about a home and home ever since. Saban was the one who started this neutral site nonsense and then he has the gall to bitch about Bama fans not being enthusiastic about their home schedule. It's ridiculous.

Name another fan base that has had to travel to more playoff and bowl games in the last 9 years than Alabama.

That shite adds up. A quick 3 hour drive to Atlanta is a hell of a lot easier on the wallet than an away game to Norman, Columbus, Austin or Ann Arbor.
