Re: *** 2014 4-Star OL Viane Talamaivao Commits to Alabama***

Roll Tide!! This guy does seem to have a mean streak and gets a kick out of pancaking opposing DL. I wonder if this will help us land Tyler Luatua at all? Either way, I really like him. Reminds me of Austin Shepherd's HS film.

It should be road grader because "grade" refers to slope. That's why you "grade" dirt roads to eliminate the ruts, etc, which is pretty much what Warmack did for us. Looking at the video, I was amazed by the punch this guy has when he plows into defenders. Hopefully working with Coach Cochran will turn him into a beast like Warmack.
That is correct.

So this one time...we were talking about an OL commit, and a grammar debate broke out. Great times!

I couldn't figure out if the video was Viane or a bulldozer with a rocket engine. My goodness. Give me five like that across the front every year and I'll be happy! sip

I would love to have 5 like him just to see how Verne handles saying that name a hundred times per Bama game.

The boss man is wrong about that IMO. He was thinking of cheese grater!
How did that get started? I was saying that "grater" is wrong. Road graders are similar to front end loaders that are used to grade non-paved roads...

This was my fault Earle. I mis-quoted you after you had corrected me on the proper spelling of the word on a different thread. I was wrong both times - LOL! Sorry.

yep; Another term I always love seeing is "pre-madonna." I'm not sure where it got started, but it's always fun to see it on a board. I try not to be the grammar police, but some stuff is just too funny. The message boards on BOL are littered with these types of "inaccuracies."

Since she was mostly big in the 80s, most of these kids would be post-madonnas, I think

Unless the expression is meant to describe the time before Madonna is considered great...in which case we are still waiting, so it'd still be pre-madonna. :)

@AndrewJBone: The loss of Talamaivao will drop #Alabama to the No.1 recruiting class in the country.

Unfortunate, but this had been mentioned before. It's perhaps why we've continued to recruit other linemen

Yep. Bone had mentioned for months there was a decent possibility of VT staying closer to home. Can't blame the kid for wanting to stay close to family.

Re: *** 2014 4-Star OL Viane Talamaivao Commits to Alabama***

I just never thought we would end up with any of the big Polynesian So. Cal offensive linemen. Those guys are staying home. I don't blame them one bit. I think the Polynesian guys have a very strong culture and the Samoan community is large in So. Cal and they basically want to stay home. I even think a couple of those players committed to Bama without even stepping one foot on campus or ever being in the South period. Not trying to be a downer just stating the way I see it.
