re: Bridge in 2014

At my age & having watched SEC football since 1961, I am not one who believes in conspiracies.However, if any bama fan out there does not believe that the Bear threw his considerable weight around the league office, then you, sir, are a fool. And the same applies to Saban. Does he make out bama's league schedule? No. Does he have a lot of sayso about it. Unquestionably. At LSU he had absolutely no stroke in the league office, so while he did bitch & moan, LSU under him always took a bullet. Now that he's at bama, he does have the stroke, as with getting the Iron Bowl removed from that Friday date, a date he always hated & bitched bout when LSU had to play the hawgs. He felt that anyone playing on that Fri after a Sat game the wkend before was at a competitive disadvantage. But to think that someone as obsessed with full control of the process does not get involved with his team's scheduling is again a fool.
