I know this quite shocking, but Colin Cowherd is really upset about something sports related.
This time around, Cowherd is directing his anger at Nick Saban and Alabama when it comes to the team’s weak non-conference schedule for the 2019 season.
During his FOX Sports radio show, Cowherd took major issue with coaches, most notably, Nick Saban complaining about fans not showing up to games.
Cowherd argues that he should schedule better opponents.
“Look at Alabama’s schedule. The four games Alabama could control, because the SEC hands out the schedule but they can control four games, they scheduled Duke, New Mexico State, Southern Miss and Western Carolina,” Cowherd said on his show. “I wouldn’t walk across the street to watch those games – and Nick Saban controls that. Nick Saban doesn’t control the other eight, he controls those four, and Saban complains ‘the students aren’t coming out.’ Yeah, because they have a life! They have options there’s a bunch of stuff on TV or on their phones.
“Stop blaming the fans. I don’t have a problem. Yes, ticket prices have been increased across all of our sports, but we’re still going to NBA games because the products good. We’re still going NFL games because the products good and I live in Los Angeles and Dodger Stadium is full.”
Alabama will still play one of the country’s toughest schedules in the SEC, but the non-conference is one of the easiest among Power 5 teams.
