We already do as a fanbase during the playoffs every year.

We also scheduled particularly bad G5 teams this year and last.


Fresno State won 11 games and won a division. Colorado State was good. Arkansas State was their typical 8 win selves. Louisiana won 7 games. It's not like we're playing 1-11 UTEP every game or something.

Maybe a couple, but we had some pretty good ones, too.

We have a pretty warped view on the G5 matchups because we're so good,


We have a lot of spoiled fans who forget what regular losses to LA Monroe, Northern Ill, Southern Miss 2x, La Tech 2x, and UCF were like. It hasn't even been that long.

I went to every neutral site opener except FSU.

Loved every one of them. Students don't show up for those either.

Hell, the only games where the student section is full are Auburn and LSU. They aren't going to show up no matter who else Bama plays. Byrne has the right idea about ripping out the upper deck and making a patio so you won't have thousands of empty student seats.

In the past sure, teams like 2016 Western Kentucky and 2017 Fresno State.

Last year 7-7 Louisiana and 8-5 Arkansas State and this year 3-9 New Mexico State and 6-5 Southern Miss.

That's pretty bad. I'd like to see us try to at least schedule 1 American team every year. I'd much rather play Memphis or even Tulane than New Mexico State. Most American teams get home and homes now though, so it's probably hard to make that happen.

So we have to cancel our games with Barcelona and Arsenal?
