re: Fox Sports - Alabama actively plans an "atrocious schedule" and gets away with it

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.

I totally agree. Like I said in my above post, the neutral games make complete sense for Alabama and Saban if the committee won't call him out on it. But Saban and UA could care less about the fans. That's the problem you get when you have a 30,000 person waiting list for season tickets. I too get tired of hearing Saban gripe about empty seats and fans leaving early. We play a boring schedule. What does he expect? It should be a wake up call that people who pay thousands for season tickets aren't even coming to the games and can hardly give away their tickets.
