2015 Spring Practice Thread

[wishbonedays]

Prior to AJ McCarron, Alabama has not had a QB with the hype that either Cornwell or Barnett have in years.

I thought that Gary Hollingsworth, David Smith, & Brandon Avalos were just as hyped weren't they?

Nobody knows the future, but it seems almost certain that our qb play will eventually catch up to the elite level of other positions we've had in recent years.

Not that McCarron and Sims weren't great players in their own right, but whatever happens with guys like Cornwell and Barnett, coupled with what CLK did with Sims, it leads you to believe we could really see something special with one/both of these guys.

Also, both Cornwell and Barnett have NFL measurables too. It's almost inevitable until we have a first round qb very soon IMO.

Agreed

Another option is... We could use two Qbs system....

Dun..dun..dunn...

Not the dreaded 2 headed QB system.

Anyone know if A-Day will be televised this year. I heard it will only be partially televised and that ESPN will be switching between different spring games. Can anyone confirm?

So they will have whip around coverage on the SEC network but all the games will be shown in full coverage on WatchESPN? That's how I understand it..

SEC Network alternate channel. There's a baseball game on the SEC Network.

That's lame. The spring games must not have received good ratings. Thx for the info..

I believe the baseball game was already scheduled to be on the SEC Network prior to the announcement by the schools about their respective spring games. Depending on the ratings for each event, we may see schools announce earlier in the off season because someone tells them to in order to get the TV scheduling done.

Tuesday, April 14 practice report

Never thought I'd see Brandon Avalos's name in the same sentence as Gary Hollingsworth or David Smith...

The spring game will replay on SECN/SECNHD at 5pm, presumably at the conclusion of the Florida @Miss State baseball game. Just scheduled my DVR to record, can't wait, and hoping for a injury free practice with a large turnout!

Also, the game will be replayed in just a few hours from actual start (5pm cst?) on one of the SEC Network channels. I set it up to DVR on UVerse.

Touche, but the saying isn't "if you have three you don't have one..."

I do believe we might all agree that TOSU having three qb in the fold that could work for them isn't nearly close to being the norm. It's an extreme exception!

 

[TIDE-HSV]

I'm not really not that worried this time, as I have been in the past. These guys are really playing well. It's not as if it's a bunch of incompetents. I think we'll be OK, even if we end up using more than one...
