Alabama has been recruiting our top 757 talent for years. Alabama just offered 2019 class, Cam'Ron Kelly of Oscar Smith. They know the 757 very well. It would be amazing to see that legendary program on our football field. If ODU wanted it, Bama would come.
Wilder is buddies with Coach James Franklin of Penn State. Maybe we could get a home opener with the Nittany Lions.
My point is, get a good team to open the season for a change.
FIU, FAU, MTSU and WKU all open with P5's. We open with cupcakes every year.
Don't know why I am going to reply to you again because you are seriously delusional if you think Alabama would ever play us in Norfolk. For the past several years lets look at bamas non conference:
2018: vs Louisville in Orlando, home for Ark State, ULL and the Citdael
2017: vs FSU in Atlanta, home for Fresno, Colorado State and mercer
2016: vs USC in Arlington, home for WKU, Kent State and Chattanoga
2015: vs Wisconsin in Arlington, home for MTSU, ULM and Chrleston Southern
2014: vs WVU in Atlanta, home FAU, USM and Western carolina
Hopefully the past 5 years is enough evidence for you to stop with the bama coming to Norfolk stuff. There is a clear pattern and Bama wont even play non-conference away games at other P5 schools let alone a G5. Just stop.
As for Penn State the last 2 times they played an away game at a G5 (2011 and 2015) were both against temple at the Linc. Penn State is not coming here either.
