    Video: Pate interviews DeBoer

    He’s like Brady and Tiger Woods. They’re all polite, friendly, even engaging at times but very careful to say absolutely nothing. CKD is creating a specific culture that he does not want to disturb by some public slip of the tongue. Most critical remarks are probably private between coach and...

    Isaiah Bond - Undrafted

    What does it matter, he’s gone I thought he was going to be a great player at Alabama and he had flashes as a freshman, e.g., the Michigan game. But last year he was bad, with a couple of long runs vs weak competition that inflated his numbers. It was like his heart wasn’t in it. It seemed best...

    Bama Transfer Portal targets 2025?

    OL, along with QB, is the most difficult position to evaluate because of the mental and other intangible components of the position. So, HS evaluations often don’t mean much. How they’ve performed at the collegiate level easily trumps HS evaluations.

    Poll: Who is your starting and Back-up QB for the 2025 season?

    I will give DeBoer the benefit of the doubt and assume that he assumed that the basics are there. To colby…: IMO, Alabama is going to need a playmaker at QB to compete at the highest level. College football has changed and Alabama’s place within it has changed such that this is true. Even old...

    Transfer portal opens today.

    Agree. IMO, it would signal that Alabama is woefully short on the NIL front, thus likely Oats days are numbered, unless they have something better up their sleeve.

    Houston's Style of Play: Is this What We Want Basketball to Be???

    IMO, Duke & UF were the two best teams, with Duke being the most talented but UF being mentally tougher. UF also had the most “special” player in Clayton, Jr. How many games did this kid win for them this year? It was fitting that he had the biggest play in the champ game. Ironically, it was not...

    Poll: Who is your starting and Back-up QB for the 2025 season?

    I had forgotten - thanks for the reminder.

    Poll: Who is your starting and Back-up QB for the 2025 season?

    Milroe stuck around and didn’t start, except for an injury, until his 3rd year but I never heard anyone, certainly not you, laud him for his loyalty or perseverance. I don’t think Ty is a scrub. If he were to be unseated by Russell, which I doubt this year, it would be by the highest ranked...

    Poll: Who is your starting and Back-up QB for the 2025 season?

    A question to you is, what has he done to engender such undying confidence? Almost nothing publicly. And you sit here whining about a fan who has watched him in scrimmages for at least two years. His assessment seems to coincide with Ty’s only start: Hopefully adequate, but that’s it at this...

    Spring Football - 2025

    His deep ball was bad. But small sample size and people often improve.

    25-26 Roster Discussion/Speculation

    Is this based on inside info or just a guess from afar?

    Bama Game Thread: Elite 8 Postgame Bama v Duke

    Mark could be physical but don’t think that is his primary issue. IMO, he does not have the speed and quickness needed to compensate for his size. He may have gotten more out of his physical gifts than any Alabama player I can remember. Pettway is the only player I can think of who is in the...

    Poll: Who is your starting and Back-up QB for the 2025 season?

    Roydell Williams won that game and it’s not close. In reality the team won, as poorly as they played. But if one player should be singled out, IMO, Roydell is he - by far. I guess it was his best game at Alabama, and in crunch time too. At least Ty didn’t give up in such an “awkward” and...

    Transfer portal opens today.

    Reid is almost certain to remain in college as he’s considered a mid/late 2nd round - undrafted player. Philon is still considered a likely late 1st round pick by some “mockers”. IMO, you’re right that Alabama needs another Cliff-like player to fill out the roster, maybe more size according...

    Trump's Policies Part 3

    Serious question, I’m trying to understand: what is unchristian about “this”? If I feel that I can answer your response, I will also attempt to give a Biblical answer about Christians and the admin. Thanks
