Alabama 2012 Update

Filed under:
  • rumormongering is what the internets are for
  • scheduling
  • alabama

michigan-alabama-2000Monday came and went without an announcement about playing Alabama in Jerryworld, and with a few "not quite yet" type announcements from key players. See the title of this Rivals article($) ("Brandon: Exciting news is coming") for one. My source re-iterates: it is happening, with all three parties set on an agreement and just waiting to announce it when everything gets dotted and crossed.
