Bama has become king of the neutral field opening day extravaganza. Virginia Tech, Clemson, and now Michigan. It has inspired others to follow suit and now we have the barn, the viles, jumping on in an opening game back to backer in Atlanta. The interruption for us was because we reintroduced a two game series with our fierce OOC rival, the Lions.
LSU goes undefeated, no complaint from me. Toughest conference SOS in the land. But we all lose one, all bets are off.
nice to see Bama actually playing some major conference OCC teams for once...compare Bama to Auburn, LSU, Georgia, and Tennessee since 1990 (opening day games in bold) Alabama 2011 -- @Penn State 2010 -- Penn State 2009 -- Virginia Tech 2008 -- Clemson 2007 -- Florida State 2006 -- none 2005 -- none 2004 -- none 2003 -- Oklahoma 2002 -- @Oklahoma 2001 -- UCLA 2000 -- @UCLA 1999 -- none 1998 -- none 1997 -- none 1996 -- @North Carolina State 1995 -- North Carolina State 1994 -- none 1993 -- none 1992 -- none 1991 -- none Auburn 2011 -- @Clemson 2010 -- Clemson 2009 -- West Virginia 2008 -- @West Virginia 2007 -- Kansas State 2006 -- Washington State 2005 -- Georgia Tech 2004 -- none 2003 -- Southern California, @Georgia Tech 2002 -- @Southern California 2001 -- @Syracuse (10-3) 2000 -- none 1999 -- none 1998 -- Virginia 1997 -- @Virginia 1996 -- none 1995 -- none 1994 -- none 1993 -- none 1992 -- none 1991 -- @Texas LSU 2011 -- Oregon, @West Virginia 2010 -- North Carolina, West Virginia 2009 -- @Washington 2008 -- none (Appy State was opener) 2007 -- Virginia Tech 2006 -- Arizona 2005 -- @Arizona State 2004 -- Oregon State 2003 -- @Arizona 2002 -- @Virginia Tech 2001 -- none 2000 -- none 1999 -- none 1998 -- @Notre Dame 1997 -- none 1996 -- none 1995 -- @Texas A&M 1994 -- Texas A&M 1993 -- @Texas A&M 1992 -- Texas A&M 1991 -- @Texas A&M, Florida State Georgia 2011 -- Boise State, @Georgia Tech 2010 -- Colorado, Georgia Tech 2009 -- @Oklahoma State, @Georgia Tech 2008 -- Arizona State, Georgia Tech 2007 -- Oklahoma State, @Georgia Tech 2006 -- Colorado, Georgia Tech 2005 -- Boise State, @Georgia Tech 2004 -- Georgia Tech 2003 -- @Clemson, @Georgia Tech 2002 -- Clemson, Georgia Tech 2001 -- @Georgia Tech 2000 -- Georgia Tech 1999 -- @Georgia Tech 1998 -- Georgia Tech 1997 -- @Georgia Tech 1996 -- Texas Tech, Georgia Tech 1995 -- @Clemson, @Georgia Tech 1994 -- Clemson, Georgia Tech 1993 -- Texas Tech, @Georgia Tech 1992 -- Georgia Tech 1991 -- Clemson, @Georgia Tech Tennessee 2011 -- Cincinnati (10-3) 2010 -- Oregon 2009 -- UCLA 2008 -- @UCLA 2007 -- @Cal 2006 -- Cal 2005 -- @Notre Dame 2004 -- Notre Dame 2003 -- @Miami 2002 -- Miami 2001 -- Syracuse (10-3), @Notre Dame 2000 -- none 1999 -- Notre Dame 1998 -- @Syracuse (8-4) 1997 -- Texas Tech, @UCLA 1996 -- UCLA 1995 -- Oklahoma State 1994 -- @UCLA, Washington State 1993 -- none 1992 -- none 1991 -- UCLA, @Notre Dame
I bet that sounded a lot less homer in your head. Thank you for representing the Gump stereotype so well. Carry-on...
