Saban's already crying over Bama's permanent SEC opponents

Some people on here disagree with that. I’m not one of them. One reason why I want Vandy is bc they could be a road game during the years we play 5 road games and only have 4 home conference games. That is a huge advantage IMO and will be wildly important .

3, Bama, Vandy, and Kentuky.

That's not a bad deal .... if accurate.

 

[Carolinavols]

3 permanent SEC teams (LSU, Auburn, and Tennessee), according to a 24/7 article. What a pu$$..........

I do not see how that is too different than what they have today. Two current west teams and Tennessee is their permanent cross ravel.
With TX and OK coming into the league everyone is going to have a hard schedule.

 

[stevenrich2003]

HAHAH! Whining like a little girl that didn't ger her way.

 

[SaintLouisVol]

He should resign in protest.

 

[CAVPUT]

The same way UT's had UGA, Bama, and UF forever. Suck it up buttercup.

 

[SpookyAction]

Saban is claiming Aub and LSU are the two best teams in the West and it is unfair to play them both.

I think Bama, LSU, and OK will be the best teams in the West, so his take is accurate until 2024. After that, Bama's proposed schedule is worse than others, but they are the Ric Flair of the SEC and at that level, every game is a championship level game for the other team. Bama will take more heavyweight punches going forward.
I like that no team should have an easy schedule every season. Teams may have an easier schedule every fourth year, depending on home vs. away balance. The schedules leveling over time is very good for all teams.

Since I live in Bama this is on the tv sports. They say what Saban's issue is, since there will not be any divisions with TX-OK coming in he is saying why play the same 3 teams AL has been playing for the last 20+ yrs. He wants new teams. So not taking up for him, he is still whining, but it makes more sense what he is saying.

Love it when Nicky gets the short end of the stick



His wife been getting the short in for 40+ years

And here's Tide Talk's take on it:
TideIllustrated - Saban doesn't feel SEC's proposed schedule is fair for Alabama
Edit: Tide Illustrated? I don't know who the Alabama sites are

It's a good thing for you to not know who the Bama sites are. Having Bama-brain would be detrimental to mental health.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

This is like when Saban and Kirby were crying about the NIL before last season. He’ll need to deal with it.

Its funny how the Tide website is spinning it as unfair scheduling but Tide fans I talked to, per my above post #7, are spinning it as just don't want to keep playing the same teams. Tide Land is in spin mode today.

They pretty much have to call it "TideIllusrated." If they called it "TideReading" then not too many Alabama fans would choose to go there or even understand it.

Personally, I believe a more fair bama set of annual competitors would be UGA, LSU, Texas, Oklahoma, Auburn, Florida and Tennessee. With this, Nicky wouldn't have time to moan.

 

[SDV]

I thought we suck and they don’t consider us a rival anymore?

 

[Volfanstucknga]

Ummm, hasn't Bama been playing these three teams every year already?

 

[lifeisdeep]

 

[DuckInAPen]

I hope he knows at least "how they come to" 2/3 of "that."

 

[volbound1700]

I am crying about Tennessee's as well.

I like Alabama and Vandy but South Carolina? Why not Kentucky or Florida?

 

[mudhen]

Well bless his little heart....

 

[bigorangepoppa]

If you as a coach, think your team is the best in the land, you take on the permanent rivals and prove it.

 

[Dudleys87]

Hell I’m glad somebody finally said it. Evidently it’s ok to talk **** about us until we hand you your ass and all of a sudden “we can’t play Tennessee anymore”

Piss up a rope tiny might.

They say what Saban's issue is, since there will not be any divisions with TX-OK coming in he is saying why play the same 3 teams AL has been playing for the last 20+ yrs.

They've played LSU annually for the past 59 seasons (since 1964), Auburn for the past 75 (since 1948), and us for the past 95 (since 1928). Bama alumni who were in school before LSU was an annual game are pushing 80. Those who were in school before Auburn was an annual game can't number more than a few hundreds (if that many). Those who were in school before Tennessee was an annual game are extinct.

Yea I am sure he does- vandy, missouri, and south carolina? Sure nick - ya suppose to be the best eva.

 

[WillOverstreetFanClub]

Vandy and Uk.

Gotta have Florida there. I was thinking Florida, Alabama, and Kentucky or vandy.
