Will the SEC give 'Bama another opponent than A&M?

Oats agrees to an extension through 2027 with a $10,000,000.00 dollar buy-out in the first two years.

     Tip of the Hat to Tide23 for posting a comment that was already on my mind. "Will the SEC send us someplace other than College Station on the makeup?" It could happen, and maybe we should ask LSU if they wanted to make a trip to Oxford to play Ole Miss for the second time this season. I'm guessing they'd say no. Could the SEC send Alabama to Florida as a makeup game as an example?  Florida is a couple of games short already. They would love to host Alabama.  I have no idea what the SEC might do regarding the missed TAMU game. I'm betting right now they don't either. What they probably don't want to do is keep the SEC's top team from getting a preferential seed in the NCAA Tournament. Let's hope so, at least. 

      We need to keep in mind the SEC is about making money. Someone will likely do a cost-benefit analysis and see which one feeds the coffers of the Conference. I'm betting the league office decides that helping teams make the field of 64 is more important than just making up a game. We should find out soon when and if the game will be played.

     In other news, I've heard that Nimari Burnett, who has left the Texas Tech program, has contacted Alabama. It was widely reported that Burnett, a Five-Star recruit, picked the Red Raiders over Alabama. 'Bama was his second choice. Burnett was a Parade High School All-American.  Oregon and Michigan were in his top four before he signed with Texas Tech. He is from Napa, California. Nimari is a perfect fit for the offense run by Nat Oates and Alabama. I believe under that new transfer rule, he will be immediately eligible. He is 6-4 and weighs 180 lbs. When Burnett was in high school, he visited Tuscaloosa.
