📡 Alabama may be a daunting season opener, but the Cards are 'gonna play ball'

[RollllTide!]

Yeah, everybody wants to go to Central Florida in August. This isn't a bowl trip. No side excursions to Disney.

It is Africa Safari Hot in Orlando in July and August. Went through boot camp there. We had black flag days where you didn't have to run everywhere. I remember an outdoor candy machine that had Milkyway's melted all the way when you got them out.

Duke at their crackerbox is still baffling but we did it and that's that. Giving them a rematch would make a lot of sense if we made it a true home and home series and they repaid the favor and we opened the season at BDS.

Would have made more sense....at BDS... none for Atlanta..guess nobody wants to play Bama anymore....
I really believe we could get some good home n home....( think it anyway)
But 2018, 19, and 21 are sewn up.....would be awesome to open with osu, ok, nd..texas...another name team...in 2020....
Would like to see 2 big names a year on schedule....
One of these days...

It aint cool in Tuscaloosa either...in Aug-early September.
Heat index is unpleasant.... my mom...said...4 hottest places in the world ??? Were Charleston SC....New orleans...Texas...and Tuscaloosa AL...
Of course when she lived in all those places...then didnt have air conditioners...

Wisconsin claims they're in. Realistically, this neutral game is by design and there are a ton of power 5 teams that would take us up on a home and home series. Maybe the only regret during this siege upon college football by the Crimson Tide is the missing Penn State type teams we don't get to see coming into BDS. A few Happy Valleys would be fun too.

Maybe Louisville was thinking that Bama didn't do so hot last time playing in Florida!

Don't see Saban being worried about a Bobby Petrino offense. His QB will have only played in some garbage minutes and Lamar Jackson won't be there.

I don’t blame Jackson for going pro but I would have liked for Bama to play against him.

Remember all the empty seats when they played at Duke....

It was listed at about 2K under capacity that weekend. Capacity is just under 41K. I remember the lower corners of the endzone having some sparse areas, but good crowd overall. I'm sure the gallery is still up over in the football archives.

Was fair crowd...for Bama should have been packed...lots of empty seats..kinda Aday type full....
GaDome ( or whatever its called...Auburn graveyard would b appropriate) will be sparse....
