Title: Alabama still searching for 2015 football opponent as schedules fill up
Post by: Jamos on May 29, 2014, 07:21:41 PM
Nick Saban touched on it Tuesday and Alabama's AD took it a step further Thursday.

Alabama's having trouble filling its 2015 schedule, Bill Battle told reporters in Destin, Florida at the SEC spring meetings.

"Right now we'd take anybody," Battle said, according to CBSSports.com.

Maybe this will shed a little light on how difficult making a schedule has become.

Well I heard someone say the other day that it was easy and we could pick whomever we wanted. It seems like CNS sees it a little different. RTR!

That's why you schedule 4 or 5 years in advance and avoid a problem like this. You can not schedule year to year, Coach Bryant scheduled 6-8 years in advance. Nobody was trying to avoid him. Many teams are already committed for 2015 or are looking for a mid level team. If you're serious about playing anyone, you can schedule teams to play you.

I don't presume to know what is really going on here, but my take is "they don't want none."

What would happen if we played one less game?

I don't see too many teams doing this:

"Who wants an azz whoopin'?"

What about Boise?  I thought they would play anyone anywhere anytime.

I think that was when Boise had their other coach wasn't it? I believe he has moved on or am I wrong? RTR!

Chris Peterson took Boise's swagger with him to Washington .... at least what amounts to swagger in Idaho.  :P
