Alabama cancels Home & Home with Michigan State

[bamabear82]

just do not know if he is good on his own merits or good because Saban behind him

I'm sure working with Saban has made him better but Saban probably wouldn't still have him around if he wasn't a good coach and recruiter.

I hear they are trying to schedule Savannah St.



Twice!

I know a lot of Sparty fans who are not going to like this. In EL, Saban is the devil. This isn't going to help.

Fuck Sparty fans, this pisses me off.

This is exactly what I've worried about with all the bigger conferences and playoffs. Pussification of college football schedules kicks into high gear.

Way to go greedy fucks.

Bama will likely be on probation then, less scholarships, etc, so they need to compensate by lightening up the schedule as much as possible

pisses me off too, and "satan saban's" got little to do with it (although his stank hangs all over this cancellation)...

it's about honoring your commitments (there goes another southern misconception)...Bama probably figured they'd smother MSU again anyway - but knew the team'd be beaten up but good doing it in the first game of the year...and

Fuck Tide fans!

I hope this is just some BS excuse for them canceling the games because I certainly do not want the SEC to go to a 9 game schedule.

 

[Wild Turkey]

Bama still has WVU (lol) next season and Wisconsin in 2015 scheduled........ for now.

Don't miss the trip to Morgantown had some buddies that went the pictures were hysterical.

Joke, but both have 2 of the more respected DC in the country. I would take Narduzzi over Smart though.

But what you forget is that Saban + Smart > Narduzzi. Saban is a defensive oriented coach. Always has been.

Be glad you don't have a neutral IC game and an OOC annual rival game every year like we do with UF and GaTech. The UF game takes away a home game every other year, which makes it less likely we would schedule an H&A. Playing Tech every year tightens it up even more if we go to a 9 game IC schedule.

9 SEC games means you alternate 5 H, 4 A. For us we will make it so that the GaTech game is home in the years we have 4 H IC games. That gives is 5 H games out of 10. However, one of those H games isn't in Athens ... it's in Jacksonville. This means we have to have the other 2 games be home games all the time in order to get to 7 games in Athens. The AD already said he has to look out for Athens and the businesses there. I can't see them doing only 5 home games, ever.

Did it have something to do with Saban not wanting to go back to East Lansing? yes, I know they said the 9 game scheduling coming up, but is there another reason is what I am wondering.

Not to mention, in 2016 the B1G could be a SIXTEEN team conference.


Saban's Head Coach Record at Michigan State


1995–1997 – Beginning in 1995, Saban moderately improved MSU's fortunes, taking the Spartans to minor bowl games (all of which they lost by double-digit margins) in each of his first three seasons. From 1995 to 1997, Michigan State finished 6–5–1, 6–6, and 7–5. In comparison, MSU had finished 5–6, 6–6 and 5–6 (prior to NCAA forfeits) in 1992–1994.


1998 – On November 7, 1998, the Spartans upset the No. 1 ranked Ohio State 28–24 at Ohio Stadium. However, even after the upset and an early-season rout of then-highly-ranked Notre Dame the Spartans finished 6–6, including three last-minute losses featuring turnovers, defensive lapses, and special-teams misplays, and failed to earn a bowl invitation.


1999 – Saban led the Spartans to a 9–2 season that included wins over Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State. However, the two losses were routs at the hands of Purdue and Wisconsin. Following the final regular-season game against Penn State, Saban abruptly resigned to accept the head coaching position with LSU. Saban's assistant head coach and successor, Bobby Williams, then coached MSU to a Citrus Bowl victory over Florida, giving the Spartans an overall record of 10–2 for the 1999 season. It would be the best season in terms of wins for the Spartans since 1965, and it would see the Spartans reach their highest ranking since the 1966 team.[20] Future NFL Head Coach Josh McDaniels served as a Graduate Assistant on Saban's 1999 coaching staff.

Man, going up their would make me more uneasy than going to Wisky. I get this vibe that Sooners really don't like the Tiger fans. After the true or exaggerated "horror stories" i heard about 2003 and some of the hate spoken about our baseball series on landthieves. The pregame could get ugly and if we win i'm sure the post game would be horrible.

If they are crimson and come in HUSKY size, FUCK YAY-ERR!

[tech_iceman]
