re: Why won't Alabama schedule a home-and-home?

Duke in Atlanta? Is that seriously a neutral site game Bama has scheduled? Good grief who will even be remotely excited about that crap. If you're going to go overboard on cupcakes, at least play someone worth a damn in neutral site games.

It's definitely not Ohio State or USC, but Duke has been pretty tough under Cutcliffe. The name alone means nothing without context. Vandy under Franklin was a tough team, for instance, and nobody would be embarrassed to call us a good win/loss. The Blue Devils have their good years and their bad years like everyone else not named Bama, but it's a clear step above playing, say, us. They had a 10 win season in 13 and 9 win season in 14, which would have been around the time the game was scheduled, I assume.

Frankly, I might even go to that game, assuming Cutcliffe is still at Duke. I've been a major Cutcliffe fan since his time at OM.
