re: I wonder what higher ups decided this

I more hate the fact that Bama has had such a easy/lucky road since Saban has got here outside of his recruiting and coaching.

What I mean by that is that he has yet had to remove a key cog in his team prior to the season.

All the OOC opponents they had scheduled prior to him being there or during his time there, have been crappy the season they finally play. I mean I have only saw one decent one be at least as good as they were supposed to be. That was VT in 2009 who beat finished 10-3 and lost to them 24-34.

No holding calls all year? Yeah fricking right.

Tennessee being crappy the same time Bama has it's "Phoenix" rebirth to Champion status.

They did not play Tebow one time in the regular season from 07-09.

We've played UGA 3 times, USCe 3 times, and UF every year. Bama has played UGA twice, UF twice, USCe twice. I mean it's really not their fault those teams, except for UGA, were terrible each time they played them.





The thing I hate is that we stopped playing a crappy OOC team at the end of the year, to replace with a bye. Now for two years straight, we take our first bye deep into the fricking season, and our players will be tired the frick out. We need an earlier season bye.
