Sure our entertainment takes a hit each Saturday but we ain't gonna give CBS/ESPN $50+ mill back so we can have more entertaining games.
take my Bammer money and but me some waterfalls, dangit

BTW, I thought my adding ****** to my post about bama and the Browns let you know that I was kidding.
They're nuts, but I don't think anyone can argue Bama does not have plenty of advantages and gets benefit of the doubt on any type of controversy.

Alabama is the Texas of the SEC. They control everything. Our game with them is our one CBS game every year.

And you can't blame BAMA for all the other schools in the conference being mediocre this season. Well, except for Georgia, but Georgia isn't ready for Alabama yet and everyone will know it come December.
Two things we can count on ( the condescending arrogance of the Bama fan ) and for CBS to be sucking Bama dick.

Bama/ LSU

Bama @ crappy SEC East school.
Isn't there a rule that CBS can only have five games involving the same school? Isn't that how we ended up the 2:30 cbs game in 2014 and the iron bowl was late that night on espn?

Thank goodness the SEC added the 3:00 SEC Network game.
Bama has become so overly dominate that they've basically ruined the 2:30 time slot while making the SEC an absolutely non-competitive conference.
CBS literally chose to air a game this weekend that won't be within 3 scores after the first quarter.
So GD can slobber over Alabama like normal for all to see.

Easy fix find a way to beat some of those teams like we did in 14. You listed about half of the conference....It is what it is. Generally those games you listed are going to be the best games of the season for CBS to pick as far as ratings go. They aren't in the make everyone happy business. They are in the making money business and all of those schools have huge fan bases nation wide. I would be willing to bet UT/Bama still gets some of the highest ratings this weekend.
No point in bitching about it. Only way it changes is if someone not listed finds a way to start winning.

First, Roll Tide.
Second, I see where you're coming from, but I've never known truth telling to either be condescending or arrogant. I'm certainly not trying to be either, but simply state the facts. To quote the Saban, "it is what it is".

Bama has been fortunate to have had Two of the best coaches in the history of college football. Bama will do what is necessary to keep this going no matter the cost. The only time I remember Bama not doing this is the hiring of "SHULA". So token I think you and Tusk could agree with that. I know you don't want to go back to the Shula years.
