I confess I don't get (or agree with) the sentiment that we need to change coaching staff if we go 8-4. CKD is a very good coach. It's not at all evident to me that we'd do better. But it would cost us a bunch and set us back a few years (again!) in recruiting. Furthermore, some folks must...

Ole Miss 100%!! A distant second choice is Miami. I cannot pull for a Big 10 team. But if I had to, I'd pick Indiana 3rd and the Fighting Nikes 4th.

Delicious irony if Kiffin bailed on Ole Miss.... and Ole Miss proceeds to win a championship. I know... not very likely. But I'll be cheering for Ole Miss the rest of the way. Another thought... If Ole Miss wins the championship, will Pete Golding get a statue in Oxford?

Yes, the season was a success. We made the playoffs. Granted, I would have preferred a better showing against Indiana, but it didn't happen. We'll never see another era like the Saban era. Not in the pay-for-play NIL environment. Schools like Texas, aTm, Stanford, Michigan, So. Cal (and the...

Good: Indiana. Making the playoffs and winning the first round. Ryan Williams. Y. Pierre. Recruits and portal guys see an opportunity to maybe start next season at Alabama. Beat TN & Auburn. And UGA during the regular season. Lots of good out there. Bad: OL & DL. Ugly: Over-the-top...

We got beat by a better team. It happens. I don't get the folks calling for CKD's replacement. I'm hoping that's over-the-top frustration brought about by our being accustomed to being the bully rather than being bullied. CKD is a very good coach! We simply ran into a much better team...

If Grubb gives the OL some help via an extra RB or TE so Ty has a chance to see the field, I like our chances. If 4+ receivers are running routes... I dunno...

Daley was hurt in the post-game celebration...??! :oops: Musta' been quite the celebration..

I like the confidence in the posts on this thread. Wish I felt the same way. I remain hung up on our OL's inability to protect Ty or open holes for the RBs. I just hope the Bama OC will provide the extra protection to allow Ty to have time to see the field.

Amen! Our kick returners should be instructed not to ever try to run it back unless we're behind near the end of the game and need a miracle finish. If we don't get tackled short of the 20, someone will have a block-in-the-back and we'll start inside our 10. Just take the ball at the 25 and...

Good: Last 3 quarters. Great catches by WRs. Defense after 1st quarter. NOT calling the goofy slow-developing trick plays that cost us yards and a down. Minimal penalties. Ty when he had time to see the field. Bad: 1st quarter. Ugly: OL's inability to open holes for the RBs. OL's...

Particular thanks to JessN for this writeup! Posted at 4:01 AM! All Bama fans greatly appreciate the work you do!

I don't like the prediction but have to agree with it. I fear Ty will get his usual 1 second or less to survey the field before he's dodging incoming OU players.

DeBoer took a Washington team to the CFP finals. Washington!! He's an excellent coach and we'll be lucky to keep him a few more years. And whenever he leaves, I doubt we'll be able to replace him with an equivalent coach. In addition, we'd get to work through the team and school turmoil that...

My prediction is that unless NIL guardrails are put in place, then after a few years of NIL growing pains, the schools with seriously rich alumni (Texas, aTm, Stanford etc.) will dominate college football - and all other sports. Alabama alums are not in that stratosphere of wealth. Most...
