PrintSome rumors are flying around that Alabama and the U may play in the near future. In Atlanta. To open the 2012 season. It would be a season kick-off game, with both 'Bama and the U raking in a cool $2.25 million each. Hocutt's game, but will Saban be?
I got double scooped on this by (1) Matt Hinton (aka Dr. Saturday), and (2) Barry Jackson at the Herald. But who's the only one to bring it to you with: A POLL!!!!!!!!!!!!

needless to say
the denizens of the bamasphere are pretty stoked about the possibility as well.

I'm amazed...
This has pulled almost 450 votes. I hope the majority are unique. I’m humbled by the readership.
Well I would have voted
But my vote would be for “yes.” However, there is no way I can vote for the “yes” option provided above :)

Bama fans...
Would love to see this happen! Canes/Tide would be a great matchup between two of the biggest name programs in all of football, and it’s always cool to start the season with a big out-of-conference game! Hope this happens, and hope to see ya’ll in Atlanta!

notice the difference
Between Canes and Gators. We invite the competition, no matter who where when etc.
That’s why I love being a Cane bc we don’t back down from anyone.
Holcutt is looking for a neutral game in 2012 regardless of whether it’s alabama or not.

Because the U can't afford to pay for its wins
Unfortunately, the pollsters don’t care. They look at record, not resume. Sad.
Ponder lacks arm strength? Think again.

What are you implying?
Not quite sure I understand your statement. Are you saying that Miami can’t afford to pay crappy schools to come play against them?
Yes
That is exactly what I am saying.
The elite programs buy 3 (sometimes 4) games per year in which they don’t have to devote any mental, physical, or financial resources to prep or play.
The key is to buy 1A schools, because the media rips anyone who plays two 1AA schools.
One game against North Texas costs as much as Randy’s proposed salary.
This is a major problem in CFB and is not going away.

Doubtful
I don’t think he’s coming here (I’ve met him and talked to him at the Under Armour Combine). Plus, there is no way we would start a true freshman at QB.
Why do u think he isn’t coming?
