Complaints About Alabama's Home Schedule

[MeanGreenMailbox aka TFLF]

Everyone's got to have something to complain about, right?  No fanbase demonstrates that better than ours, but...

"For the hundreds of people who work on fall Saturdays as ticket scalpers, this experience has been more the norm than the exception this season in Tuscaloosa. All you have to do is take a look at the Crimson Tide's home schedule to understand why.

The first three home games of the season featured particularly unsexy matchups against Western Kentucky, Kent State and Kentucky. Add in a mostly bad SEC slate -- games against Ole Miss, Arkansas, Tennessee and LSU are all on the road -- and ticket scalpers have their work cut out for them."

Everyone wonders why Nick Saban is short with the press and fans there sometimes.  The guy does nothing but win, delivering multiple national titles upon countless conferences titles...but, "Jesus H. Christ on a popsickle stick...we can't scalp our tickets for enough money!  Damn home schedule!  Who's the athletic director!  Fire his ass, and I mean yesterday!

They aren't upset about having 7 home games.

They have 8 home games and they're still complaining bitching.

Anything that screws scalpers is good in my book.
