Wow. I'm by no means a Bama fan,but I'm honest. They play every year in some "Classic" against some perennial top 15 team . Florida cancels games because of rain like a 75lb Y-Guy team.

Of course not. Even if Alabama scheduled them, they would make it so far out that they would almost guarantee them sucking. I dare them to schedule them for next year and cancel a cupcake.


This ain't fricking YMCA 12 and under football league we're talking about, Dufus. You don't have a clue about the legal, logistical, and just plain old common sense problems involved with such an absurd move, do you?

Florida played Michigan in Dallas this year. But nice try.


Got this off another board....

Before Michigan this year, which Florida lost, the last time Florida played a non-conference game outside the state of Florida, in the regular season, was 1991 (they lost to Syracuse).

The last time they won a regular season non-conference game outside of Florida was 1989 (they won at Memphis State).

And the last non-conference regular-season win for the Gators outside of Florida against a team that finished with a winning record was in 1947, against North Carolina State.

Wow

Sounds good.

bama should have won every one of those games


What game can we schedule that we "shouldn't" win at this point? It doesn't exist.

What makes you think Alabama GAF about playing UCF.

Frost is gone so UCF will be average now.

When was the last time Alabama played a true road out of conference game?

at a Florida fan bitching about anyone not playing on the road out of conference. You Gaytors haven’t played anyone out of the state of Florida since the Clinton administration until Michigan handed you your arse in Dallas last September.

It’s about time Alabama actually challenges themselves out of conference.

Bunch of pussies for not doing a home and home with UCF. They’re afraid they would lose.

Tell us how many OOC away games outside the state of Florida has UF played over the last 20 years?

Hint: Comes before 2.

Since UF is able to count Michigan at Jerry world as an out of conference game, Alabama has schedule & played since Saban became head coach ....

2008 - #9 Clemson at Atlanta (Bama won)
2009 - #7 VT at Atlanta (Bama won)
2010 - Duke at Wallace Wade Stadium, NC & (Bama won)
#18 Penn State at BD stadium (Bama won)
2011 - #23 Penn State at Beaver stadium, PA (Bama won)
2012 - #8 Michigan at Jerry World, TX (Bama won)
2013 - VT at Atlanta (Bama won)
2014 - West Va. at Atlanta (Bama won)
2015 - #20 Wisconsin at Jerry World, TX (Bama won)
2016 - #20 USC at Jerry World, TX (Bama won)
2017 - #3 FSU at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, GA (Bama won)

Bama won all those games, & were the first to play an inaugural game starting with the Chick-fil-A College Kickoff at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta


Essentially, Alabama plays 2 bowl games a year - at the beginning of the season and at the end.

NDSU should put a billboard up in Orlando and request the HnH with UCF.

I know this is bait but when they reported I honestly thought Who the frick is UCF to demand a home and home? They beat a bunch of chumps and an uninspired Auburn team. Bama, Georgia, Oklahoma and Clemson skull drag that team in the playoffs. I'm sure their ad is on the phone with Byrnes trying to schedule any game.

None of the teams you mentioned were very good in the years you played them.

How does Alabama control that?
And what makes you so sure UCF will be good if Alabama plays them in a few years? Are you forgetting they went 0-12 a few years ago? If you’re actually not trolling then you’re just an idiot.

1. Alabama wouldn’t make as much money playing at UCF then playing at a neutral site.
2. UCF is a still a G5 school that isn’t as consistently successful as say someone like Boise State.
3. Why would Alabama travel to south Florida to play a G5 school in front of 44K people?

If you asked why Alabama doesn’t do a home and home with the likes of OSU, OU, etc then this thread wouldn’t have been as dumb.

I’m pretty sure that we’re playing at their stadium in September, but I doubt that they’ll show up.

Pussies.

I don't care who you're a fan of, or even if you hate Alabama's guts....that 10 year list is unbelievably impressive!
