Mean Alabama losing by 40 pts?

Mean Cinci losing by 40 pts?

Who in the heck knows who would win a game played in 2015??

Heck, Div I-AA teams haven't lost by 40 pts to some recent Bama teams, including those that won national titles.

Also, a team that tied with 3 others for 2nd place in the Big 12 last year dominated Bama in their bowl game.

I laugh at posts like the above.

saban doesnt ruts.

cincy its not personal, there are 6 reasons bama fans want some tubbs

oh and if it happens. its gonna hurt. bad.

doubt they come to the nip. if cincy could sell out three home games (which i dont think they have) it would not be equal to one alabama home game. alabama prolly had more fans at their spring game than cincy gets in 4 games. why would bama ever do that?

nippert x 3 = 105

bama spring game attendance 73,506

UC might get a date down in Tuscaloosa, but no way in hell 'Bama's coming to Nippert.

(And I like Tom Groeschen... But this one I am not believing until the Crimson helmets come out of the tunnel.)

While Bama rarely plays non-conf home-home games these days (normally has 3 non-conf home games then a neutral site game) but in the recent past, Bama did play a non-conf road game at tiny Duke (when Duke was really, really, REALLY bad)

[Image: duke-vs-alabama.jpg]

After this season, when Cinci has to play at the Bengals NFL stadium while their historic on-campus stadium is renovated, I hope all future Cinci home games at played at Nippert...and not moved to the NFL Stadium.

Compared to Bama...yes, Duke's stadium is tiny. Compared to Nippert and your in the same ballpark (no pun intended). Wallace Wade holds just under 34,000. I know Nippert will hold more after its renovation but the difference in Wallace Wade and Nippert is neglible. IMO, Alabama would love to play in the Ohio recruiting grounds. I fully expect them to sign a 3-1 home/home deal or something similar. Maybe even just a 1-1 but that is still fantastic for Cincy in more ways than one can count...exposure being the first. Hope it gets inked! 04-cheers

Cincinnati and Alabama in Talks about Home and Home
I hope cincy gets their date with bama. We had been negotiating for a home and home earlier this year and it fell apart. This was mentioned in the articles about bama stating that they couldn't find anyone to schedule. I could see a two for one or them paying cincy off for the home game. I think if you are cincy you take it either way

RE: Cincinnati and Alabama in Talks about Home and Home
comparing duke and cincy when it comes to a chance at a home and home with bama is silly.

there is a history between duke and alabama

cutcliffe is from birmingham, graduated from alabama, and worked for the Bear.

Mal Moore the bama athletic director (who passed away at Duke Hospital in Durham) was friends with Culcliffe.

Moreover, anyone know the name of Duke's stadium. its Wallace Wade Stadium. Wallace Wade won three national championships at Alabama.

duke to this day has a better chance at a home and away with bama than cincy (and a bunch of other schools).

bama still hung 62 points on Duke, could scored 150, so no he didnt ruts.

i cant see any value in bama playing at nippert other than a chance to pound tubberville.

To be fair, these games are both 2 for 1's, not home and home like the OP is suggesting. Luckily for Temple, the home games are falling in the same season. Temple will make a lot of coin next year.

a two for one is not a bad deal for cincy or anyone else in this conference against a school like bama. i wouldnt be mad if memphis made that kind of deal.

a two for one against a miss state or a wake forest or an indiana and the AD needs an arse whippin

You would think Cincy v Bama would be played at Paul Brown Stadium, in front of a packed house, on ESPN.

Hope not...as UC is spending $100 Million to add top revenue generating amenities/suites/club seats/loge boxes, etc...to Nippert Stadium so that they don't have to move games to the Bengals stadium.

Last few "big games" moved UC to the Bengals NFL stadium had announced attendances in the low-mid 40's...which after expenses, loss of concession/parking, etc...was basically a loss to UC.

Keep games on campus...especially the BIGGEST ones...as thats what those suite holders/club members are paying top $$$$ for.

It's Alabama...every seat would be full.

Charge 60 bucks a seat and make a fortune off the Bama fans. (that's what we do with Mississippi and Tennessee)

They have filled the stadium for their Spring game for crying out loud. You could charge $100 and have a caravan of RV's heading North to take advantage of the price. We got them into the LB back in the 80's and beat them. Hope you can pull off this deal.

And now you are quoting US News undergraduate rankings. This is excellent stuff.

When it comes to actual academics that have an impact on both students and the community, its not close. UC destroys Alabama in both research and co-operative education. Alabama is a fine school, but having a good undergraduate english lit program doesn't make you some academic powerhouse.

I truly can't believe the stuff I'm reading in this thread. Memphis fans really have absolutely no clue. I guess with thinking like this, it's not a mystery why it took so long for them to get called up to even a tweener conference.

Actually, I do think some, maybe even most Memphis fans understand the huge advantage of having an on-campus football stadium can bring, even though they don't have one.

As with most subjects, it only takes one or two clueless posters to make comments (about a subject they never have experienced, i.e. on-campus stadium) and why UC is spending soooooooooooooo much money on their own on-campus stadium...vs just moving a few miles down the road to the NFL stadium.

UC's renovated on-campus stadium will help bring in millions of new $$$ to the program, let alone provide an amazing home-field advantage/atmosphere...(which helps bring in more wins...helps attract more recruits who attend games in that exciting atmosphere, etc...which leads to better teams...better seasons...more donations off success, etc..).

There's nothing wrong with the Liberty Bowl (it's 2 miles from campus)...moreover, no plans to move.

If Memphis did decide to do an OCS I'm sure it would be built by the baseball/softball fields on the South Campus (which is still "off main campus")

Fair enough. Maybe saying these memphis posters would have been more fair. Which is why I'm flabbergasted why they are even suggesting the game is played at Paul Brown. We would make way more money at the renovated stadium with 40,000 people then we would with 65,000 people downtown, even charging absurd prices.

RE: Cincinnati and Alabama in Talks about Home and Home
The reason UC lost money in 2011 playing at PBS was due to poor contract negotiations with the Bengals and
UC also had contract obligations for media and advertising at Nippert and they did not meet those obligations.
For a team like Bama, playing that at PBS would be fine, so long as the luxury suite owners get taken care of at PBS.
I strongly prefer Nippert though.
