Considering going out there with two other people, sort of spur of the moment. We're either going to fly out of Pensacola or Nashville (don't ask). Basically need tips on how to schedule everything so that we're on time for everything we need to hit (hotel, flights, game itself, etc.).

Yep. Basically what I said to someone else about this off-site: Now we start to understand how both this staff and the Saban staff had trouble deciding between Milroe and Simpson based on practices. It just wasn't a clear choice at the time.

You want to see even crazier numbers? Here's the passing comparison between Milroe and Simpson: * 2024 Jalen Milroe: 205-of-319 (64.3%), 2,844 yards, 8.9 yards per attempt, 16 TD, 11 INT (1.45:1 Ratio), 23 sacks for minus-180 yards, 148.8 QBR * 2025 Ty Simpson: 275-of-428 (64.3%), 3,268 yards...
