How Big Is The Bama Game

Gameday was at the Red River Shootout this year. Corso put on the Bevo head on during the pre-game pick. So I'm not sure where you're coming from there.

I agree there's certainly no shortage of negative coverage. A 5-7 record almost guarantees it. But negative coverage is vastly different than being forgotten.

He put the Bevo head on because ou barely survived freaking Tulane.
And when we **** the bed, there was no more interest, nationally. None.

Some can try to convince themselves we're still relevant outside our bubble. We're not. We're in the same bucket as Free Shoes, Usc, Nebraska. People don't think of those programs either, unless it's to poke fun.
 
Here's how I view the Bama game...
They will care..and their fans will care . And national eyes will be on it.
As for the game of football... We will give it all we got and keep it respectable is my best guess..
A blowout and the talk is we have a looong way to go ...will take many years or never happen...and can't spit shine the upper tiers boots..
Keep it close and look respectable and the talk will be Sark has things moving in the right direction and we need a couple years.
I do not foresee a blowout fwiw.
Losing a close one that we had a decent chance to win to LSU took some wind out of the team two years ago and had a mostly negative effect. Playing tough and keeping it close...being in it w Bama but losing could have an opposite...positive effect.
To answer the question more directly..
How big is it?
On a scale of 1-10 it is a 6.9-7.1 as far as meaningfulness to us goes..which is how I understood the original question. Would mean more if we were already contenders.

Gameday is becoming a forgotten product.
If you don't think Bama v Texas draws interest you're crazy.
Not to mention Sark v Saban.
The stadium will be full and the nations football fans will be tuned in.

DKR will be full with the exception of the newly renovated end zone. It sure makes the stadium appear empty. Something needs to be done about that.

Bama playing a warm up contest against a 5-7 opponent isn't usually considered a big game.

Not saying it's a big game.
But this early in the season we should both be 1-0. :)
And name recognition alone will have televisions tuned in.
Plus the side offerings of Texas joining SEC and Sark playing Saban.
It will be played up in the media.
And the stadium will be full because, well, it's Bama.

The issue seems to be the Bevo seats and the SRO on the ground level are held by the same people. And most of them appear to prefer to go downstairs and SRO. So it makes that seating look perpetually empty.

IMO we should make the Bevo/End Zone section for the Rowdies. The fans who get a little wilder, party a little harder, etc. I've seen that kind of arrangement work well in other places (like the Oakland Coliseum). With the Rowdy section getting very loud in key situations.

DKR is a great family experience. But that section needs to be reserved for folks who live on the edge.

Well, that's like, your opinion, man.
But thanks for sharing.

And you might have noticed the smiley face indicating a bit of levity.
I know it's hard for you to pass an opportunity to try and show superiority over other posters.

Not to go all patronizing but...lol..
I always laugh when you guys "argue".
You both have similar posting styles and any criticism of the other comes off like the ol pot and kettle. You just typically focus on pointing out ironies, or things you feel are irrelevant or miss the point, you both jump in on people you feel are painting with too broad a brush or especially if they are being presumtuous or judgemental. And you both like to say "duh" in your mind to others and point out how wrong headed they are.
You both are very blunt and unfiltered and come across a little harsh at times. And often communicate through sarcasm. You both despise what you view as narrowmindedness. You both are not very diplomatic or winsome in expressing views and wouldn't make great politicians.(and I'm sure you both would be very proud of that fact).
You both are passionate and hold your convictions tightly and have a hard time not getting irritated or annoyed when you feel those are violated.
You both care...a lot
A few other things...
You have both become two of my favorite posters and, for the record, are the two I'd most like to meet and sit down with. You guys are great and much appreciated here. Now kiss or hug or fist bump or "air" five or bump or whatever and makeup.

There is no happy face in the post I replied to.That was in a post I didn't reply to which came after the one I did. Hope that clears it up for you.
