What happened to our series with Alabama?

[KillerGroove]

They cancelled after CPJ was hired, IIRC.

Yeah, the Piss series was cancelled entirely where the Bama series was allegedly postponed.

Whatever happened to the series with Ole Miss?

Ole Miss backed out...moved games to 2017 and 2018...but they will never happen.

We gonna play those suckers anytime soon?

Alabama backed out of playing us because they refused to play us at Bobby Dodd Stadium....they would only play us in Atlanta if we played at the Georgia Dome.

Technically, the games are moved to 2019 and 2020 but they will never take place.

i heard they said something about the stadium not being large enough, and the campanile not being a tree.

They played at Duke a couple years ago, but think the Dodd isn't big enough? Weak

Maybe the entire reason they said we had to move our home game to the Dome instead of Bobby Dodd was simply because they knew we would say no to it. No one with a chance at a perfect season wants to mess with a week of prep for us.
