Alabama A&M reveals 2024 football schedule
The Alabama A&M Bulldogs are seeking their first SWAC Championship since the Spring of 2021
The Alabama A&M Bulldogs just revealed their football schedule for 2024 in preparation of facing a new-look SWAC East Division. Last season, the Bulldogs went 5-6 and finished fourth in the SWAC East behind their rival, Alabama State. Though they improved upon their 4-7 record in 2022, 2023 was their second losing season in a row. Alabama A&M especially had trouble playing away from home. Their stellar 4-1 home record turned to a dismal 1-3 on away games and 0-2 on neutral fields.

The Bulldogs have a rough start to their season as they take on Auburn on Aug. 31. The Tigers had a rough season but gave scares for former National Champion Georgia and very nearly beat Alabama, who made the FBS College Football Playoff this season. The following week, they play Kentucky State in the Louis Crews Classic.
Alabama A&M has two consecutive meetings against first-time opponents. In their school history, they’ve never played Fayetteville State nor Austin Peay.
Following those matchups, the Bulldogs take on their conference schedule. They kick off at a Florida A&M team coming off a Celebration Bowl victory, but also lost key players and coaching staff recently. After playing the SWAC Champion, they play the runner-up in the SWAC East, Jackson State, in the Gulf Coast Challenge. The Bulldogs return home for a homecoming date with Bethune-Cookman before playing Alabama State in the annual Magic City Classic, which they’ve lost two years in a row. They round out their schedule with games against Southern, at Arkansas Pine-Bluff, back home against Grambling State, then finally at Mississippi Valley State.

Georgia Football may land former Alabama safety Caleb Downs, Bama fans meltdown!
Georgia Football has now been crystal balled to land Caleb Downs, or Caleb Downs is crystalballed to land in Athens. However you look at it, Georgia is the leading contender to get the former Alabama Saftey. If Kirby Smart lands one of Bamaās best players and one of the best assistant coaches, it would certainly send a message to Alabama and Kalen DeBoer.
This is one of the worst weeks in Alabama football history, and boy, oh boy, Iām enjoying it. With the news of Downs hitting the portal, it feels like every starter and 5-star Bama had is leaving the program. With the program seemingly spiraling out of control, Alabama fans face a massive identity crisis. First, let’s look at how they handle players leaving and hitting the transfer portal.
Itās not like Trezman Marshall, Jermaine Burton, Jameson Williams, and many others, who all left one program to join Alabama. Itās not fun when the rabbit has the gun, right, Bama fans? But what would you expect from Alabama fans? This fanbase declared the 2022 national championship for Georgia āfakeā because they did not have depth in the wideout room.
This is also the fanbase that comments whenever Georgia has a modicum of success, āBuilt by Bama.ā Alabama fans type that out because Kirby Smart was an assistant coach at Alabama 8 years ago. Do yāall think they had to look up the word modicum, or they just skip over it?
Then Alabama fans reacted to the news of T-Rob leaving. Clearly, they were not upset by this and were extremely positive and happy that one of their coaches made a move best for his life and family!
Oh, they werenāt! Alabama fans are having an identity crisis. They cannot believe players and coaches are not flocking to Alabama because of that beautiful crimson A. The reality is that Alabama is not bigger than Nick Saban. Saban was bigger than Alabama, so great coaches and players went to Tuscaloosa. The same was the case back in the days of Bear Bryant.
This is why Georgia has always been solid throughout the years. The Dawgs have had coaches synonymous with the program, die-hard fan base, and one of the greatest college towns in America. Georgia has never taken the nose dives that Alabama has had when our legendary coaches leave. The Alabama fans who are reading this are getting upset.
Anyway, I fully expect Downs and a few more Alabama players to come and join the Dawgs. So I am glad all those fanbases, including Alabama fans, got their kicks in on us. Georgia is the new king of college football, and for many, that has been their worst nightmare. Enjoy the show!
