The Alabama Crimson Tide have added the New Mexico State Aggies to their 2021 football schedule, FBSchedules.com has learned.

Alabama will host New Mexico State at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa on Nov. 13, 2021. The game will be the second meeting between the two schools on the gridiron.

The Crimson Tide will pay the Aggies a $1.9 million guarantee for the game in 2021, according to a copy of the contract obtained from New Mexico State University via a state public records request.

Who else is pumped up to watch this scintillating matchup?

Paying a team almost 2 million? That seems absurd.

Bama fans are sick of Alabama playing shite OOC teams at BDS just like everyone else is. Yesterday we added UT-Martin for 2020 and today this. It's pathetic.

Don’t worry, after that brutal test the Bammer schedulers in the SEC office will rotate Vandy back on the schedule to give $aban a breather.

New Mexico St may not even have a football program by 2021. They are barely hanging on.

The addition of NMSU tentatively completes the non-conference schedule for Alabama in 2021. The Crimson Tide are scheduled to open the 2021 season in Atlanta on Sept. 4 against the Miami Hurricanes. Three weeks later on Sept. 25, Southern Miss is slated to visit Tuscaloosa.

Alabama is also scheduled to host Mercer in 2021 on a date to be announced.

In SEC play in 2021, Alabama is scheduled to host Arkansas, LSU, Ole Miss, and Tennessee and travel to Auburn, Florida, Mississippi State, and Texas A&M.

When was the last time Bama did a home and home with a power 5 school?

Key phrase: Bammer is SCHEDULED to play those SEC teams.

Plenty of time until 2021 for Skanky & his goons to come out with a new SEC scheduling “formula” that favors Bammer.

Good god....LSU about to play Auburn, LSU fan not only is worried about Alabama’s OOC schedule 4 years from now, he manages to melt about the SEC office in Birmingham corruptly fixing schedules. Presumably the SEC is making LSU play really hard teams they can’t beat...like Alabama.

Well Tex, why not call the FBI? Or better yet, GTFO and go join the big XII.

The only scheduling formula needed is a 9 game conference schedule. But only Alabama seems to favor that.

You realize he left LSU for the Dolphins to scratch his NFL itch, right? Money was no factor.

Damn. We should have some home and homes. I would prefer it if we could have a tie in with the previous conference winner of say the B1G, Big 12 or the Pac 12. That's how the best team in the country should schedule.

The right amount of money is always a factor.

Something we can agree on. Play a 4-4-1 SEC schedule with the 1 game at a “neutral” site with tickets split 50/50 between teams.

Finally... We get to play some Aggies that know how to cook good Mexican food. I've been craving some food hatch green chili sauce.
