The SEC is going to be very competitive this season. This guy should get an opportunity or two to win games for Alabama. Gotta have a good kicker. He seems to fit the bill. Good signing.
Free agency is alive and well in college football.
If you can’t recruit and develop, tamper and steal them I say…after all that worked out so well for goatsaban that he ultimately retired with just 1 ring in the TP era…
Is that what happened when Georgia got a RB from gatorland? The puppies tampered and stole? I guess your Bama jealousy made you forget about that happening. 27-24
Thank you Jim Harbaugh and Seth McLaughlin.
27-24
Thanks Kirby for choking against Nick all these years , Ga is like Tennessee only 1 win against Nick
Doug the Lou Gaza award winner coming to Alabama must be terrifying remember it’s just a game
27-24 was with Isaiah Bond, Dezz Ricks, Shawn Murphy, Amari Niblack, Trey Amos, Caleb Downs, Kendrick Blackshire,Roydell Williams, Antonio Kite, Jake Pope and
Earl Little II.
DeBeor can’t loose that kind of production and expect to compete with Georgia again. Georgia will blow out Alabama in Tuscaloosa next season.
Doug all this players you just mentioned only a few even started most were back ups Ga lost 23 to the portal , 15 after the SEC championship who’s butt hurt more you or the players ?
It is Doug by a mile. So much so that he can’t even sit down.
Didn’t Saban win 3 rings in the playoff era? 2015, 2017, and 2020.
Leg. This complaining you are doing does look to well on you. Man up, be a fan and live with the results on the field. Get off the excuse train. We expect better from you.
Speak for yourself, luv: all I ever expect from dwag fans is excuses and complaints. Leghumper is typical. Let him cook.

More proof that DeBoer knows what he is doing. Alabama hired a very good football coach. He has been a winner everywhere he has been.
Coach T-Rob said thanks, but no thanks. Look for a tampering investigation to open up by NCAA for that snake attempted move.
I will say a prayer for you Dougie. Now tighten that chin strap down before you go out to play.
Well that’s finally over after staying at Miami-Ohio for three seasons. No hyphen, no parentheses on his diploma to have to explain.
