And hire who? I thought Ferentz was a Hayden Fry clone. I'm sure they will find another.

I'd like to see them promote his son just for the meltdown.

Back to years ago. Played them every year for a long time. Bad part it will help thier recruiting espicaly Arkie.

Seems inevitable, I'm good with it.

If Sark doesn't like it he could pull a Saban and threaten to pull his support for the 9 game scheduling model to try to get it changed.

Is this because it would lower the # of creampuff teams on their schedule like New Mexico School for Blind and Deaf, South Hampton Institute of Technology (SHIT) and Birmingham School for the Performing Arts?

Saban has previously been supportive of 9 conference games. I believe this is his attempt to complain about the proposed 3 Alabama annual games and not be totally ignored  

I suspect the financials of a 9 game SEC schedule are going to be quite compelling. The coaches that don't like it will be from schools that are concerned about bowl eligibility.

I think it's the best scenario based on rivalries and geography.

That's always been my bet.

Saban doesn't want anything that takes away any advantage he has, so he'd prefer a gimme game late in the season as opposed to an additional conference opponent.

He's already upset they may have to play Tennessee every year.

Saban is upset because the three annual opponents would be Auburn, LSU and Tennessee.

What gives me pause on this is – these are three teams that, when they play Texas, it's their Super Bowl.

Remove Arkie, gimme someone we're not familiar with, and I'm good.

I enjoyed beating the pigs about as much as any body elsenot named sooners. Mjust never go to thier home games, you will regret it. They are not nice well not all of them.

FWIW,  this Florida gator article thinks TX could get Florida as one of its annual games.

Bottom line all schools want games for a easy win, or for recruiting reasons!

I really want OU and Texas A&M every year. I didn't experience the Arkansas rivalry first hand so I'm not concerned about that one.

I wouldn't mind LSU being the other. Would help us recruit the boot...and would give me a game 1.5 hrs away from New Orleans every other year.

[Big Daddy Cane]

ou, agsy, arky and lsu are the only ones that really make sense on an annual basis.
