oh look Bama remains scared of home and homes vs BCS/P5 schools unless they are against a senile old fart who looks the other way for child molesters.

How many home and home series w/schools from big time conferences have happened or have been set up in the future under Saban?

Answer is just one and it was against an old man on his last legs as a coach.

Face it brah, your boy is scared of true road games.

That shine is the light of the truth.

Saban is scared shitless of bringing Bama out of the SEC footprint during the regular season.

Or Louisville's stadium only holds 55,000 post-expansion and they could probably sell more tickets elsewhere.

I guess FSU, Wisconsin, and USC don't have enough seats too?

Nah, its just a case of incredibly weak excuse is incredibly weak.

Saban is scared of true OOC road games unless he an beat up on an old senile fart.

Meh. As a fan I hate neutral site games but it could be beneficial to a team down the road who will likely being playing in a neutral site situation in the post-season.

Saban scared to play someone though? You can laugh at my excuse and I can laugh at yours.

Penn State is playing at Maryland in Baltimore this year for that same reason. But it's really different here, being that both teams are located 9+ hours away from Orlando.

No real recruiting advantage in playing in Nashville.

It's an interesting location. Playing in Nashville at LP might've made more sense. But I know Louisville has several Florida kids on their team too. So who knows.
