The Alabama Crimson Tide have made a few headlines this week, but not for the dominating wins on the field, like you would expect.
On Monday, athletic director Greg Byrne drew a lot of buzz for his comments on kickoff times. The Tide received a 12:00 pm kick against Southern Miss next Saturday, which is at 11:00 am in central time.
Byrne was displeased with the move, given the fact LSU is playing a night game that day against a lesser opponent as well and Alabama rarely receives evening games.
In addition, head coach Nick Saban complained last Saturday that the reason for the Tide’s dull out-of-conference schedule is a result of no one wanting to play Alabama.
