USC played at Auburn in 2003 and at Arky in 2006.
I'll give you Auburn. Arkansas ain't the South.

They're in the SEC and they're further south than Tennessee.I'll give you Auburn. Arkansas ain't the South.
"During the American Civil War, the Confederate States of America consisted of the governments of 11 Southern states that seceded from the Union in 1860-61, carrying on all the affairs of a separate government and conducting a major war until defeated in the spring of 1865. Convinced that their way of life, based on slavery, was irretrievably threatened by the election of President Abraham Lincoln (November 1860), the seven states of the Deep South (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas) seceded from the Union during the following months. When the war began with the firing on Fort Sumter (April 12, 1861), they were joined by four states of the upper South (Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia)."I'll give you Auburn.

Alabama came out west and played UCLA at the Rose Bowl on Sep 02, 2000.I think 2000 & 2001 they had a home and a home
Last time Alabama played a true OOC regular season football game west of the Missippippi was at Hawaii, 11/29/2003.

So USC played Oklahoma in the south in 2004. Thats five games in the south since 2003. Boy you were so close to being pretty wrong but turns out you were epic wrong. Five games and 20 years wrong.
RollTide-"2003 UCLA at the Rose Bowl...which is about 2 decades after the last time USC played a game in the South, 1986 in the Citrus Bowl."
Kids . Don't do drugs.
Alabama has played three (3- Tres ,Trois) OOC games at the other teams home field in eleven years.
Even if USC gets beat, they will be willing to come down and play Alabama in the future. I wish I could say the same thing about Bama coming out to the West coast. Hell they could play in a neutral site like Levi stadium.We don't have one scheduled for the next three years either. After getting clubbed like a baby seal in Arlington, USC is probably going to have to wait a few years before anybody invites them back to a neutral site game.

I have been advocating on here for years that the West Coast needs to bring back it's own Kickoff game...USC seemed to have no problem attending them in the past. Clearly nobody with money on the West Coast seems to think this is a priority. Maybe with 2 NFL teams in LA/OC and one in Vegas y'all could get this back on track.
LOL. Yeah , finished 3# and is favored to be in top five nest season with a Heisman type QB. yeah no one would want USC . No interest nationally. LOL. First you don't know when USC has played in the south and now this.
You'll excuse me if the minutiae of your overrated program escapes me, let us know when USC turned down their invite.
USC goes and travels to OOC games, neutral if thats the only option. USC has traveled plenty all over the country no matter which coach was in charge. Yeah Alabama has had some good teams lately but they have been pussys about traveling to OOC games. They would rather fill up on Chattanoogas at home. Winning makes you look like even bigger pussys for not traveling.
Meh...I like the neutral site games, they are like preseason bowl games. I just wish there was more of them, there are only so many times I want to go to Atlanta or Dallas. Y'all need to get to work on a West Coast one.
Just curious, but I wonder if the West Coast brought back their own Kickoff game, would teams like Bama be willing to come out and play in that game?I have been advocating on here for years that the West Coast needs to bring back it's own Kickoff game...USC seemed to have no problem attending them in the past.

Good point. The West Coast needs a Kickoff game scheduled for Levi Stadium every year.Meh...I like the neutral site games, they are like preseason bowl games.

Yeah I remember the Pigskin Classic.Alabama never went to the Pigskin Classic, but I don't know that we were ever invited. I think the current administration would view it favorably. The original did draw Tennessee, FSU, Texas A&M, Ohio State and Michigan went it was in Anaheim, when it became a road show the teams reflected the location.
