    Alabama: 4/28/2025-5/4/2025

    Your tireless work is extremely appreciated. It is easy to take it for granted but I, for one, am grateful you choose to do this. My hopes and prayers are with you and we will believe together for plenty more good years to come.

    Poll: Where are you as a fan for current college sports?

    This is the best post on this thread, in my worthless opinion. I hate it that it has come to this because as most older posters on here, I share the sentiments (I'm 50). I followed Bama football religiously. I didn't watch a single game last year in its entirety. It was kind of like watching...

    BREAKING 2025 5 * WR Jaimie Ffrench

    Any news on how Ffrench is leaning? Would love to get him back in the fold. Not hearing/seeing much. Thanks.

    Alabama: Latest Bama News 1/17/2021 Thru 1/23/2022

    Tua had one, ONE, receiver to average over 2 yards of separation on routes (Waddle). Its hard to compare him against someone like Herbert who had 3. Also, throw in the leagues worst, or next to worst, offensive lines AND running game, and he didn't have a chance. One more thing, you cant...

    Alabama: Latest Bama News 10/18/2021 Thru 10/24/2021

    What I don't understand fully is all the talk of Tua not being able to be a starting NFL QB. This whole comparison game with Justin Herbert is nonsense. The better comparison is Tua/Burrow because they really are in a more comparable position. Let me explain by simply looking at career stats...

    Alabama: Latest Bama News 1/18/2021 Thru TBD

    I am a life-long Bama fan and I love Mac but I respectfully disagree. However, I do acknowledge up front that I have a bias as TL has been in my home numerous times and is one of my son's best friends. To me, Clemson's offensive scheme actually hampered TL's ability to put up numbers. When...

    Wonderlic for All

    You are correct, if you said two. His was just the first one I saw.

    Bingo!!! We have a winner! I didn't get it right in the interview, though.

    Wonderlic for All

    I 100% agree with that approach. They also asked me a "puzzle question" and I had to talk out my thoughts. Weird! It went something like this: If you had 9 billiards exactly the same size and weight except one which was just slightly lighter...and an old scale (think scales of justice), what...

    Wonderlic for All

    I had to take it just to get an interview for a job. 50 questions in 11 minutes!!! My strategy was to complete every question that I didn't have to put pencil to paper first, then circle back and start on those. I think answered all but 5-6 and ended up getting the job. They never told me...

    Who does Alabama end with on National Signing Day?

    I agree. To say stars don't mean anything is being terribly naive but sometimes we get a little sideways about it. Look, two of our running backs in the League were 3 stars when they came to Bama. How many were really, I mean REALLY, excited when they committed? I know measurables are...

    National Championship (LSU vs Clemson) interim thread

    I agree with this, by the way. I do think Tua is more accurate. Sometimes TLaw throws a short/intermediate pass that is almost un-catchable due to the velocity on the ball. I also think his tall receivers do him some favors on the long ball at times. But, he can make every throw in the book...

    National Championship (LSU vs Clemson) interim thread

    LOL!!! Had the crush for a while. My son played football, and graduated, with him in high school and is still one of his good friends. I knew he was going to be special. It sure was fun to watch him in high school...never seen anything like it. I just don't think they are letting him do...

    National Championship (LSU vs Clemson) interim thread

    Listen...comparing the two quarterbacks based on statistics is simply a mistake. It doesn't take into consideration offensive schemes and, more importantly, offensive coordinators and play-calling. I know he has room fro improvement but having seen TLaw play since he was 8 years old, I can...
