I’m not aware of any laws in Alabama regarding mandatory gun registration. Point it out to me. Second, what does the Alabama campus have to do with anything? And, your just making assumptions about gun free zones on campus and where any might be.
Yes, the nil world is here and things are different. I suppose Saban is having a whale of a time dealing with it … with the no. 1 recruiting class and everything. Also, if you look at On3’s nil valuation, Bama players either have the most or the top 3 in in college football. Bryce is by far the highest college football player in college this year. So, if Saban can’t handle the nil changes, and he does this, I will take the no. 1 recruiting and transfer classes each year.
Funny you should say that … the Bryce situation and your qb recruit are not even close to the same thing. Bryce was not enticed to come to Bama with the promise of $millions. Although he had not started a game by then yet, he was already on campus. Even then, it’s one thing for a recruit to look online at what players at his position at a particular university are making versus flat out guaranteeing $x amount if you sign with us, which is what Tennessee has done or is doing. When Saban said what he said about Bryce, he was not guaranteeing anyone anything. I don’t understand why Tennessee and tamu fans point to Saban as an equivalent. Two totally different things. I guess y’all have to satisfy your consciences somehow.
You realize that this is NOT what they are getting paid, it’s just what some computer thinks each player is worth AND the amount was not an inducement, at least at Bama, to get them to come play. Bama doesn’t have to bribe people to come play for them like dimbo at tamu.
I agree! Is the thrill of winning sufficient return on their investment of $millions? Or, will they implicitly (maybe even subconsciously) expect something down the road?
Difference is Saban has admitted that he went too far! Your analogy doesn’t fly. But, I agree about biden, who’s not capable of discerning his mistakes.
Gig’ You don’t understand economics if you’re going to hang on the dude-it’s-capitalism stance. Don’t just repeat something you heard on a podcast just because you think it sounds good because, this time, it was an ignorant thing to say.
It doesn’t level anything, it just changes the balance of power to texas, Florida, and LA schools. So, instead of Bama, uga, Clemson, etc. being on top, it’ll be tamu, Texas, usc, miami the big dogs. Recruiting should be about where can I go to get the best development to succeed in the nfl, and not just about where can I get paid the most. Without the proper development, the nfl will be a bust. Nil is corrupting college athletics!
This tiresome banter about Saban is just dumb and pathetic! With the way that college football has done everything to stop Saban, to include changing rules they thought would hurt him, if there was anything nefarious going on at Bama, Saban would have been gone long ago. With the number of coaches that coached under him, someone would have spilled the beans by now. Dumbo at tamu can cry all he wants about Saban, but if he’s got the dirt, he needs to out up or shut up! Now, for dumbo, we know that he twisted nil to buy players to play for him. He had ncaa troubles at fsu as well.
You know if we just didn’t respond to negan, then he couldn’t get his jollies anymore. He’s just a troll looking to ruffle feathers. We just need to ignore the crazy, dumb, ignorant vomit spewing out of him.
You’re conflating two things. Rece is talking about the University of Alabama, which is a very good school. You’re trying to ding the K-12 state program. Alabama has some of the top schools in the country, but the education system as a whole is not that great, true. But, when Rece compared the raw numbers between Alabama and Oregon, Alabama thoroughly outperformed Oregon.
If you’re going to troll, at least spell your words correctly. There’s a big difference between “your” and “you’re.” LOL!!!
Get up to speed, dude. Mims was never going to another sec team like Florida because sec rules would have prevented him from playing next year. The same for A. Hall. He’s not going to uga, as you hope for because he’s going to want to play next year.
Saban’s given no indication that he wouldn’t be at Bama for the duration of a Manning tenure. You’re just hoping!
UGA is where 5* qbs go to ride the pine. 4 or 5 of the last 5* qbs from UGA were replaced by far lesser talent. No way Manning goes to UGA.
You can’t fix a problematic back-end in four weeks using the same personnel.
No Bama fan is taking this as a slight at all. We’re just shocked at the ludicrousy of the statement. When your dreams are fulfilled by beating one team in your division … just shows how ridiculously he was focused on one team instead of rings.
No one cares how someone performed in high school! JT came up short at USC, got injured, lost his job, transferred to UGA and has not played anywhere near the level Bryce has played in college. Folks like JT, Bo Nix, the Clemson qb, and Blake Barnett just go to show you that being a highly touted five star out of high school means little by way of success in college. And, to be candid, UGA is where five star qbs go to die.
Kirby’s defense always comes up short when faced with elite qb play. Go back to 2008 against Florida, 2010 against S. Carolina and Auburn, 2011 against aTm, 2013 against Auburn and Oklahoma, 2014 against ole miss and osu, 2015 against ole miss (and a near loss against Clemson), 2017 against Bama, 2019 against lsu, 2020 against bama, and 2021 against Bama. Now, I am not saying that each game kirby lost in each of those instances were against elite qbs, just elite qb play during those games. Often, the qb is a dual threat-type player. There’s just a type of qb play that Kirby has never been able to defend against. He’ll dominate everyone and then look silly against that one qb and get stopped. He refuses to evolve!
Have you been paying attention to the nfl lately, Tua’s been soaring and miami has won five or six in a row. Tua’s far from a flop!
Schools just have no patience these days. Where’d Michigan be this year if they had done what everyone was clamoring for and fired their coach. It takes more than three years to pull a program out of the gutter, which is where miami had been.
If there is one. And, if there is a rematch, I would hope that UGA fanatics would learn to just shut up and sit down about what UGA is going to do and let the game play out. RTR!
What I find ironic is Dabo outright mocked Saban in the past because Saban kept losing his assistants and coordinators to head coaching or other jobs of increasing opportunity. He thought it was better to have continuity. Now, a decade later, his coaches are leaving and he has not benefited through these years of the fresh ideas new coaches bring in. Dabo’s entire system is outdated. It first showed up in the 2019 CFP against osu and then lsu. It showed up again last year in the CFP against osu. His warts were never apparent until he faced real competition outside of the acc. But, this year, the stitch of how stale his football philosophy was couldn’t be hide even in the weak acc. I am not sure that dabo even realizes just how much dodo he’s in right now. This just highlights the genius that is Nick Saban!
That’s exactly what I was thinking! His progression that third year was obvious every time he came in to relieve Tua. It’s the reason he was to lead Bama to a comeback win over UGA in the sec championship in 2018. I don’t discount his continued improvement in Oklahoma. I would not argue with a Sooner who wants to claim him, but to say that Bama cannot claim him is lunacy. Riley wouldn’t have wanted Hurts if Hurts had not improved so much his final year at Bama.
You really can’t base anything on what happened with Tamu to forecast Bama and UGA. Tamu was totally jacked for that game, their fans were out of this world, and their qb played the best game he could have ever dreamed up. And, Bama didn’t take tamu seriously seeing that tamu struggled to beat Colorado and lost to Miss St and Arkansas. I am not taking anything away from tamu … they deserved to win that game. I don’t believe that UGA will sneak up on Bama. UGA might win, but don’t be too confident. The teams UGA has beat have been limited in offensive power. Back in 2018, folks were saying that that Bama squad might be the best team ever. They dominated everyone until the sec championship and the natty … teams that were competitive. Bama barely got past UGA and then got roasted in the natty by Clemson. Don’t be surprised if UGA looks a little less immortal in December and January. Not saying that they cannot or will not win. If they do win, they might not look so invincible in doing so.
Fuzzy, you should have checked before taking a knock on Bama’s defense. Tenn only converted 2 of 11 third downs and failed to convert its only fourth down attempt. Outside of three plays, which those mistakes can be fixed, Bama absolutely dominated on defense.
Fuzzy - Bama held Tenn to 2-12 on 3rd down and 0-1 on 4th down. How many more stops do you believe is needed to be deemed a successful night?
