I’m jealous of not being able to go to camp Randall. Lambeau was cool , but I want the college game day experience that you will see.



Also, three games with USF is a great play.

This will HELP* keep bama in Florida’s recruiting circles.


*youre already in them.

Bama will probably back out of the home and home just like they did with Michigan State and others.

Which others would those be?

Instead of a home and home with Michigan State we played 2 neutral site games against Southern Cal and Florida State.

Michigan St was also offered a neutral site game in return but they declined.

I guess I just assumed others, Michigan State was the only one I can think of. My bad. Playing Michigan State in the South isn’t exactly a neutral site btw.

Does it really matter? Two of the most lopsided physical beat downs of Power 5 teams in the Saban era have been when Alabama played MSU (38-0 in the Playoff and 49-7 in the Cap One Bowl). MSU was let off the hook by Alabama deciding that the USC and FSU neutral site games were better for the program.

I thought Kirk Cousins might actually die in that bowl game.

Those were definitely some beat downs. Probably would’ve been another beatdown down in Alabama, but they may had a shot in East Lansing. Michigan State has been a better program than FSU and USC for the most part recent years (minus an FSU natty in 2013, but I think that 2013 MIchigan State team would’ve beaten them. Lost one game on the road that year with bullshite officiating at Notre Dame).

Bama was givena guarantee of about $11 million for replacing those two games. A home and home with MSU would have netted about $3 million. MSU was offered the option of being one of our neutral site opponents those two seasons, but declined.

How the hell is Alabama schedule to play AT USF. I understand its a 2 for 1 but Alabama isn't a school that really needs to schedule those.

I think it's great to play a solid upper-G5 team 3 times in 3 years. And, we are playing a road game in a NFL stadium in Florida. We basically get the perks of the neutral site game (including in all liklihood a near even or better fan split) without it being a neutral site game.

And we get a solid secondary home opponent for 2 years. It's exactly the kind of stuff we as fans asked for.

Eh. I'm with Saban on scheduling. We should play only Power 5 teams and after multiple neutral site trips the last decade I'm pretty much over them. I would much prefer college campuses than NFL stadiums.
