Well, they had to get somebody to replace UL-Monroe on the schedule. J/K :laugh:
That's actually a really cool non-conference game. I'm a LSU fan, but live in Bama. I may actually try to get tickets for that one. I've also heard rumors that Bama is trying to get USC to play at the new Cowboys Stadium. Don't know if there is any truth to it though.
That is Clemson, Virginia Tech, and Penn State as non-conference games 3 years in a row. Pretty strong. Maybe ya'll can talk API (aka the school in west Alabama) into playing somebody decent out of conference. Seems like after USC whipped them in 2002 & 2003, they really haven't even tried to get a good non-conference game.
