Would Bama ever accept a home and home series with Clemson ?

Saban said he calls everyone and no one will play them.
Getting it over in the regular season would be a relief for the rest of the country.

In one word, no. But

it would be crazy for either school to schedule a regular season home and home right now. Both teams are bound for playoff spots so why play early.
And for the rest of the country, as they told us, if you don’t like the way things are (as in bama, sec etc) then beat them.

They’re finally beginning to change no doubt because of criticism of never traveling out of the SEC. They have a home and home with Texas in 22 and 23 and Wisconsin in 24 and 25. Saban I’m sure will retire after 21 season.

That is the last match up that Bama or Clemson should aim for in the regular season.

no sense for either Bama or Clemson to do this.

BS
Bama doesn't do a home and home with any P5 OOC team. They only play 4 true road games a year. Name the last P5 OOC opponent they have played.....it goes back before Saban.

They played Penn State in Happy Valley in 2011, that's the last one I can remember. Bama gets multi-million dollar checks to play in neutral site openers, I don't blame them for taking the cash.

It wasn't long ago that Peterson at BSU challenged the SEC teams and told them BSU would play anywhere, anytime. I think ONE team accepted the challenge, but it was NOT Bama.
So NO - Bama does not want serious competition. They're already too tired.

boise spanked them. I remember because it was during that run where everybody said boise didn't deserve to be in the national championship, because they don't play anyone. then they stepped up, played georgia and spanked them up and down the field. so funny. And I believe that year was the year Bama and LSU played in that terrible national championship game, and it pissed everyone off.

As things stand now, we play Alabama every season in a neutral site game.

“Ever?” Probably not now, but once upon a time ...

... when they could beat us without working up much of a sweat ... we played them home and home a couple of times.
1960s thru early 1970s.
I think the last time was 1975 at their place and we lost 56-0.
