Arkansas vs Alabama This Weekend

[pmull]

So you guys would be OK playing a Conference USA schedule as long as we are winning and getting better each week?  

I love winning but I get a real thrill out of the big games. We just don't have enough "big" games on our schedule this year IMO.

Not at all.  But that is not what we have here.  Some years we have it a little easier.  Other years we have an insane schedule with almost every SEC opponent getting the week off before our game.  That same UT team was down in 2009 and they almost beat us.  We have no control over whether we will be playing a top ten Arkansas team led by Petrino or a bottom feeder under a first year head coach.  In spite of that though, we can still play to a standard, improve, and get ready for the big fights that are coming up down the road.  After the schedules we've had the last couple of years, I'm perfectly happy with this year being a little bit easier.

Exactly right, but that applies only to the SEC schedule. That's why I like the scheduling of teams like Clemson, VT, etc. We pick up Florida on our SEC schedule next year a major challenge when compared with Kentucky and start with West Virginia. It looks like Coach Holgerson might not last past next year.

 

I agree with you and that why CNS and I support a 9 game SEC schedule.

Whoa Nelley! I have not bought into the 9 game SEC schedule, since it probably means the end of good non-conference games. However, this new 4 team playoff might encourage the scheduling of better foes since they said the strength of schedule would carry major weight.

Well, I had to read this thread twice just to make sure that I actually read what I did the first time. Being the #1 team in the country and complaining about the schedule? Folks, I have heard it all now.

I bet I could run a survey across thte NCAA world and ask how many would like to trade their team and schedule for Bama's team and schedule, do you think there would be any takers? I can remember when our schedule seemed so tough and Bama fans complaining about all the other teams having cream puff schedules and being ranked so high and even complaining about all the teams having a bye week before playing Bama and now our schedule is too weak. The blame has to be on Nick Saban, who else would want such a cream puff schedule because the man isn't much of a coach nad has to play these weaker teams to be successful.

I hope I'm not making anyone mad for expressing my opinion because that is all it really is. If everyone in this world felt the same way about everything, it would be quite boring to say the least.

As Chech stated in an earlier post that the Bama fans are on a magic carpet ride and should be cherishing every minute of it. I couldn't agree more, this success won't last forever and we all should embrace it regardless of who the team is playing. Sometimes these lesser teams are the only ones that had an open date and that's how that all happens. Sometimes though they help a fellow coach and friend out with his program and I don't se anything wrong with that.

Now that I feel better, I'm headed to the meat market in the morning to get ready for our little tail gate party, the other side of a football game that I love so well regardless of who the opponent is. Roll Tide!!!!

I never complained about our schedule other than I think we can do better than Georgia State and Chattanooga. I said Arky and Tenn being down makes our schedule softer. That is a fact. I want those two teams on our schedule every year. I just think it is more fun to play them when they are competitive.

lean cuisine sucks , in case you didn't know   

I think I'll try something different with the lean crapzine   

new instructions !

tear open box to vent contents
put in microwave for 3 minutes on high
remove from microwave and let cool for 2 minutes
rake contents in garbage pal
eat the box

So much for UT being an easy team.  They gave UGA all they wanted and ruined their season because of the injuries, then they beat USC outright.
