No, I don't think that would be incentive enough. Maybe in a handful of cases kids would stay on an elite team to try and win a National Championship but in most cases kids only want to play enough CFB to land them an NFL deal. There's also the risk of a serious injury playing an extra year of...
So most people agree that what A&M did was not illegal, just unethical. What if buying players like that is made illegal in the very near future? Would there be an immediate investigation of A&M? Would they face consequences (like being ineligible for post-season play) or would there simply be...
So Jimbo knows about the "Collectives" but seems to claim ignorance about the activities of the collectives. I don't buy that at all. Jimbo must also not be aware of the fact that in society there are a lot of 17 year old kids that break laws. Just because they are not considered an adult it...
I'm sure we'll get a response from Jimbo either today or tomorrow. Oct 8 should be very interesting and has me wondering if Saban and Jimbo will even shake hands before or after the game.
Looks like major shakups are coming to conference play based upon a decision today by the NCAA. Conferences no longer have to select division winners for the conference championship but instead can select the two best teams. The PAC-12 wasted no time...
I think there's one goal left that Saban would like to achieve and that would be to pass Coach Bryant in number of career wins and also wins at Alabama. Right now Saban is 50 wins away from achieving both. If we throw out Saban's first season at Alabama he's been averaging 12.5 wins per season...
Always an interesting topic. Let's start with the usual names. Kirby is staying at Georgia and Dabo has fallen out of favor with the Bama fan base. Pruitt is damaged goods and I didn't like the collapse of Oregon last season under Cristobal. As far as Kiffin or Sark go my one question would be...
The reason there was no love was because of his attitude. He talked big but then didn't produce. There was no animosity when Jalen Hurts transferred to OU. Today many Bama fans are still appreciative for what Jalen did while he was here.
Disappointed to hear FOX has the rights to this game because in addition to the obvious pro-Texas crowd we'll also have to put up with a pro-Texas broadcast booth.
I guess that depends on whether the person in the other car was an Alabama fan or an Auburn fan. A Bama fan might say "Hey Coach, no big deal" while an Auburn fan might say "You'll be hearing from my attorney".
Last season all Clemson was lacking was a decent QB. Their defense was a playoff caliber defense. It remains to be seen if the defense can maintain that standard without Venables but if it can then Clemson only needs a couple of playmakers on offense to get back to the playoff. Might be a bit...
I chose less scoring in general. I think we struggle a bit on offense since whoever the WR's turn out to be probably won't match Metchie and Jamo. The OL will be much like last season (lacking depth) so let's pray nobody gets hurt. Bryce Young will still have a very good season although I'd have...
I guess Texas just sifts out the Bama players who prefer women, money, and alcohol while Saban hangs on to the players who prefer national championships.
I didn't have access to the Alabama game but I briefly watched some of the Georgia game on ESPN2 and I had perfect timing since the very first play I saw was a terrible INT by Bennett throwing into coverage. That's always good to see and gives me confidence if we happen to play them again.
