Texas vs. Alabama - Round 2 - Burnt Orange Nation

Texas vs. Alabama - Round 2

Texas vs. Alabama - Round 2 To bad Texas can't schedule a scrimmage in a few weeks for round 2 (after McCoy is 100%). But how would a non-conference game pitting Texas and Alabama sound?

Would other Texas fans be interested in such a game? Would prefer it not to be a 1st game of the year conference so Texas can have a game or two under their belt. I've always seen non-conference games as tune up for conference. That's why good teams usually opt for weaker opponents since there are no scrimmage games before the season. An Alabama and Texas matchup wouldn't be able to be put on the schedule for atleat 2-3 years in my opinion.

I'm sure if Texas scheduled a home and home with Bama

It would be huge news, ala our home and home with Ohio State.

I would

But not this soon. It would look really bad from a PR standpoint for Texas to attempt to initiate this so soon. I think it would come across as “We know we can beat you. We just couldn’t that day because of an injury.” Give it a year or two and I’m all for any marquee match up.

Agreed

Bama would be one of my top choices for a top-tier home-and-home series, and if one were announced for a few years from now, great. But not next year (even if adding such a game for next season were feasible, and it isn’t, practically speaking).
