    NCAA & NFL Football Thread

    **Slyfox Note - The first few posts in this thread were removed from the previous year's thread...in case the OP seems random. **

    I've defended Alabama's OOC schedule in the past, but we at least played teams like Wisconsin, USC, and Florida State. Next season is just embarrassing. A neutral site vs Duke and 3 cupcakes at home. Seeing Alabama fans try to defend it is hilarious.

    I see what you're saying. However, many schools have games set up years in advance. I believe Bama has played a non-conference Power five team since Saban has been at the helm, no? So yes, Duke is a power 5 school but maybe that's the only P5 school available that fit Alabama's non-conference slate for 2019.

    It's very clear Alabama wants an easy OOC schedule. They could easily schedule better teams.

    It wouldn't be so bad if they played an actual road game and replaced the FCS game before the Iron Bowl with another P5 opponent earlier in the season.

    Something like Duke, @Penn State (or any good P5 school), Southern Miss, and New Mexico State would be fine to me.

    But a neutral site vs one of the weaker P5 programs in the country and 3 cupcakes at home is horrible.

    It's been Bama's MO for years though. They rarely schedule actual good P5 schools on the road and when other top P5 teams try to propose home and homes, Bama counters with a game in Tuscaloosa and then at neutral site. Their success is frustrating, but their inability to travel outside of the South is even more so. A lot of SEC schools are guilty of it, but Georgia is the worst offender. It's only been something like three or four times since 1980 that they have played a true non conference road game west of the Mississippi River or North of the Mason Dixon line.

    The advanced scheduling thing is a good point, but Bama has paid millions of dollars to buy out away games in the last few years so they could schedule different opponents. FSU is a big offender of that outside the SEC.

    I'm not disagreeing with either of you, and you both make solid points. However, the point I was trying to make is that at least the Crimson Tide schedules P5 opponents. I don't care if it's Duke, Oregon State, or Rutgers. The attempt is that Bama will schedule P5 teams. This coming from an Oklahoma fan.

    Let's play game called "Guess who the NFL suspended this time!"

    Tom Brady because he was "generally aware" that footballs were deflated during a playoff game vs the Colts. The footballs undeniably gave the Patriots a competitive advantage even though they only outscored the Colts 17-7 with the balls and 28-0 without.

    or

    Tyreek Hill because he allegedly abused his 3 year old son. His 3 year old had a broken arm, and Hill allegedly punches him in the chest. On an audio recording, his wife told him their son was terrified of him, and he said "you better be terrified of me too, b----". He also has a history of domestic violence.

    Surely it's Tyreek Hill, right?

    I'm super late to this, but every P5 team except for maybe 4 or 5 schedules an OOC P5 team next season. It's not a big deal at all.

    Now Jarran Reed has been suspended 6 games for an incident in 2017 where he wasn't charged.

    Too bad he's not the 23 year old MVP's #1 weapon.
