Per Inside source: Alabama is scared to play Army.
Saban has stated numerous times that legit out of conference teams are won't/are scared to play them... Army is an Independent. All the coaches agree their style is legit. ✔
If they had a home-home with them, Bama would have to play them way away from home in New York...Something they rarely do. Then, who pays who, and how much. ?
They're unconventional and therefore hard to prepare for...thus taking away the SEC's easy extra bye week and lack of another conference game. Double ✔✔
And It's not limited to Bama either...Clemson, Georgia, and any other Top or SEC team can get in on the action.
It's just records show Bama hasn't played them since 1988... A 29-28 win by BAMA.
There's other benefits to it also. Like making them earn that playoff spot. (Just didn't wanna get all tl:dr-ish)
It'll be kind of like a college football pace car.
Can our Vocal Minority Cannon/media people, with free time looking for something to write/tweet/post, start this campaign during the bye week? Has to be more productive than negatively rehashing a guilty win.
Bold strategy, I know...Leaders and Best! Go Blue!

What the hell are these posts today?
September 12th, 2019 at 2:53 PM ^
Blue-Ray is back with hotter takes than ever. Hold on to your butts....
September 13th, 2019 at 11:14 AM ^
he should schedule a home-and-home with HD-DVD
September 12th, 2019 at 2:56 PM ^
Pitbull's fault.
September 12th, 2019 at 3:45 PM ^
Mr. Worlwide, the “305”
September 12th, 2019 at 4:18 PM ^
More like DVD.
September 12th, 2019 at 5:20 PM ^
Are the Western Carolina Catamounts a football, basketball, or a real school at all...
September 12th, 2019 at 2:43 PM ^
You claim you have an inside source but fail to mention what their connection with the team is and poorly put together a terrible series of easily attainable facts. I hate bye weeks.
September 12th, 2019 at 3:33 PM ^
His "inside" source is his mind, dude. Can't get more "inside" than that.
September 12th, 2019 at 3:54 PM ^
I figured it was his ass.
September 12th, 2019 at 4:43 PM ^
Mind in head, head in ass, so yes, from his ass.
September 12th, 2019 at 5:20 PM ^
The “inside source” is this speculative article on Al.com. It was written in a spirit of lighthearted fun:
September 12th, 2019 at 5:36 PM ^
Holy Shit! I did just write my post being sarcastic, wondering why Saban doesn't play Army.
Never saw this.
It actually brings up some of my main questions.
Figured people would know I was joking, but nah...
I sincerely apologize to all offended.

Wait---what?
You have 94 points but were able to post a thread?
Or did you have 100+ and have been negged down to 94, which means that points are now working for some MGoPosters?

Those pesky space aliens are at it again!
September 12th, 2019 at 9:48 PM ^
Awesome username!
September 12th, 2019 at 2:43 PM ^
???? Where's the "inside source?
September 12th, 2019 at 2:48 PM ^
Given the lack of specificity by the OP, I think we need to seriously consider the possibility that the "source" is inside his own head.
Also, this was a really weird post to read.
September 12th, 2019 at 3:21 PM ^
My inside source says Rutger might be the other night game. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. [when’s the notification window - - 10 days or 7?]
September 12th, 2019 at 3:30 PM ^
My inside source says that Rutger is the other OTHER white meat that feeds Ben Mason on cold stormy nights.
September 12th, 2019 at 2:43 PM ^
I couldn't pick just one, so here you go. Huh?
September 12th, 2019 at 2:44 PM ^
What is this?
September 12th, 2019 at 2:44 PM ^
What's happening
September 12th, 2019 at 2:50 PM ^
Cumong dude, this is a crap post.
September 12th, 2019 at 2:53 PM ^
Um..We haven't played Army since 1962 before this game.....Lets face it Army is tough. A very tough offense to prepare for. BUT....We shot ourselves in the foot way to many times the last few games. Stop looking for reasons why we barely beat Army. I'm a Army Combat vet of 10 years. We pride ourselves in discipline. Army's play showed that. Michigan's play didn't. They were sloppy. Period. Other top B10 programs would have beat Army by 14 or more points. We just need to play better fundamentally. Hopefully the coaching staff rectify these problems this week and we show up to Wisconsin hanging onto the ball, catching the ball and running the ball for chunks of yards that are there for the taking on RPO plays.
This post is reaching..... Please just stop.

Pithy and on point great gif
September 12th, 2019 at 2:55 PM ^
Bad post but to address the substance, if one can call it that, who cares? I’d prefer Michigan and the B1G (8 conference games instead of 9) to be smarter with scheduling also.
September 12th, 2019 at 4:35 PM ^
Of course Alabama is scared to play Army. I was scared to play Army. The game proved that fear justified. Alabama has absolutely nothing to gain and everything to lose playing a service academy.
September 12th, 2019 at 2:57 PM ^
And you guys thought my post looking at next years roster was bad.
September 12th, 2019 at 2:57 PM ^
WTF is going on with this board?
September 12th, 2019 at 3:01 PM ^
Blaming everything on Pitbull at this point.
September 12th, 2019 at 5:03 PM ^
I AM NOT HAVING A REAL GOOD TIME
September 12th, 2019 at 3:27 PM ^
yeah....usually I visit MGoBlog quite a bit throughout the work day when I need a break from the BS. I've been finding myself not wanting to come to the board more and more because it just adds to that BS pile...a lot of whats on here lately is whiny/not fun/sad
I get it, offense has issues, we looked bad last weekend, yada yada yada. I used to laugh a lot more when I came here ..sigh
Oh and, for anyone who hasnt heard the MGoBlog round table yet, if you are already full of 100% doom and gloom, dont listen.
September 12th, 2019 at 2:58 PM ^
Cool story
September 12th, 2019 at 2:59 PM ^
Its like the offseason, but worse
September 12th, 2019 at 3:03 PM ^
Afraid of losing player's to cut blocks is probably more accurate.
September 12th, 2019 at 3:04 PM ^
Oh FFS with these posts today!
September 12th, 2019 at 4:30 PM ^
Lemming much?
September 12th, 2019 at 3:04 PM ^
Everyone is scared to play Army, Navy, and Air Force.
September 12th, 2019 at 3:06 PM ^
Que'?
September 12th, 2019 at 3:06 PM ^
First, kudos on the disjointed, nonsensical drivel that completely fails to back up the assertion of your post title.
Second, more kudos on an assertion that would cause the entire Alabama football program to fatally self-combust in hysterical laughter if they read it.
September 12th, 2019 at 3:45 PM ^
Every year as O.T. season ends I remind people that O.T. posts are not nearly as bad as the incredibly stupid posts that are created in season by either children (my guess is Blue Ray is about 14), total idiots or both. And everybody tells me I'm nuts.
And then posts like appear, and everybody says "hey now I get it man-you're right".
September 12th, 2019 at 3:07 PM ^
Shea Patterson should take RPO lessons from Matthew Stafford.
