re: 2017 Alabama Schedule is insane!

Do people think Bama's AD can just call up Notre Dame or Texas and say we want a home and home and this is when it will be played? I bet anything neither Texas nor Notre Dame want a two game series with Bama at the moment. This might change in a few years when Saban leaves, but right now I doubt they are interested.

Where do people get the idea that teams are ducking Bama? If I recall correctly, it was Battle and Saban who cancelled the Michigan State home and home series not Michigan State. And Texas is scheduled to play LSU in a home and home series in a couple years. Playing LSU on the road is extremely difficult so it's not like UT is afraid of playing in tough venues. I'm sure they would be more than willing to listen if Bama approaches them with an offer. Same with Notre Dame.
