Anyone catch Pardon the Interruption today? They mentioned that Wisconsin has contacted both Notre Dame (again) and Alabama about possibly scheduling them in the future. This was in discussion about the need to improve strength of schedule due to the new process for determining the playoff teams. Probably won't amount to anything, but at least they are giving us credit for trying.

My understanding is that Alabama has already shot down the suggestion of a neutral location.

The Coach Andersen era has begun.

Something catchy

I thought Bama shot down a home and home. I was sure they wanted to do a "neutral" location game like Atalanta, Dallas or maybe Birmingham.

Yes, I believe this was addressed in OB's dinner with BA thread on the other site? Or, in the WSJ's Baggs column. Bama shut down the home and home

Except for Vanderbilt and Tennessee, SEC teams don't like to travel outside of the old confederacy, especially after September.

Republicans apparently love government so much they're buying it.

According to Evan Flood: "Alabama declines the chance to play Wisconsin at a neutral site or a home and home series."

The Coach Andersen era has begun.

Georgia actually played at Colorado a few years back and it was their first game outside of Dixie in something like 40 years. Bama did play at PSU last year and has an upcoming home and home with MSU but your point is mostly correct.

Wisconsin has gotten alot of good press out of this. Let's hope we can get a good home and home with someone because of this.

i bet this happens more than we know, since no one wants to come play us at The Camp

I'm not sure why Bama is willing to play @MSU but not @UW. Is it simply because of Saban's history there? That seems like a stretch.

I'm sure he remembers a couple of lop-sided scores - like 40-10. Don't remember if he was 56-17, or if that was JLS.

Are you thinking of the Lee Evans game? That was JLS.

Michigan and Pennsylvania are recruiting hotbeds. Wisconsin isn't.

I think that one was 99 where they came in with Plaxico and the #1 rushing D at the time and Dayne absolutely shredded them.

Blissfully Disinterested

According to BA, Bama was approached about a home & home or a true neutral site game. What Bama wanted was a one-off game in Birmingham. As has been reported, there was no deal to be made.

Plexiglass totally quit in that game. He wanted no part of Fletcher after about 1.5 quarters.

99 was 40-10. We didn't play Sparty in 98.

That 40-10 whooping of MSU is right up there for the best game Wisconsin has played in my lifetime (since the mid 80s)

I happened to notice a 9 page thread on this on CBS Sports' message board, which is not somewhere I frequent. I got about 2 pages in before being totally disgusted at the state of humanity (typical for that or ESPN) but the general tenor is "good for Wisconsin, Saban is a pussy."

Not sure who leaked this to the press, but it was a genius move.

I'm not surprised they weren't looking to come up our way. Those southern teams never want to make that move. After seeing how poorly Miami handled the frozen tundra of Orlando who can blame them.

By the way, thanks for bringing that up. I used to watch PTI several times a week but won't watch one second of it after they ripped Bo about the Uthoff situation without doing any homework. Several other ESPN shows are in the category and I don't miss them one bit.
