re: Vote to keep 8 game schedule was 13-1

So everyone is just trying to deflect by talking about OOC games. We already play one top tier opponent per year, which is more than most of y'all (except LSU and the teams with permanent OOC rivals) do. Why would we drop the easier OOC games when no one else is doing it? That's part of why Saban wants the 9 game slate. It's uniformity for all schools. He's publicly stated that he wants 9 SEC games, one premier OOC game, and 2 games against other teams in the big 5 conferences. But he can't make that happen by himself. He's already taken care of the one premier OOC game, he's pushing hard for the 9 games, but the other OOC games being only against the big 5 conferences will take a big national movement to accomplish. In the interim, why would we kill ourselves if no one else is willing to?

Bottom line is all of your coaches are cowards and you just want to deflect.
