We disagree on his success in scheduling (you are content with the last decade despite not liking it and despite knowing that all of those teams would travel home and home).


Well, to be fair, that AD is gone. And he was a buffoon. The new AD pretty immediately started scheduling H/H games.

And we were happy with the neutrals early (at least I was). But they ran their course.

I actually loved them. I missed a couple, but I had a great time at all of them. Atlanta is a fun weekend. Dallas is even better. Orlando was lame, but, honestly, we were hoping for a better opponent in that one.

Fun fact about the neutral site games. Bama was not the first team called for the original CFA opener. Clemson was. Bama was the second opponent scheduled. In subsequent games, Bama was always the first team contacted, with the understanding that the organizers would schedule the best TV matchup possible. That resulted in games against VT 2x, FSU, Michigan, Wisconsin, WVU, USC 2x (2nd game pending), and Miami. Unfortunately, later Atlanta games became more difficult to schedule and we got games like Duke and Louisville in Orlando. (Miami was already scheduled)
