    Eli Gold Not Expected To Return To Booth In 2024

    Appropriate time to turn the page. Love Eli but it’s a good time to move on. Hope he can concentrate on his health. Some of us just don’t get to go out on our own terms but that’s life. Best to him.

    Pete Thamel is reporting Caleb Downs beginning process to enter portal.

    The bad thing about being at the top of the mountain is the fall when the eventual reset button is hit. The timing of Nick’s decision is somewhat irrelevant. It was going to be epically painful no matter when he decided. If there is any good news, it’s that we are hopefully near the bottom...

    JessN: Assistant coach hiring tracker...

    Agree. Not sure there’s a better way really. I am sure he has been thinking about it. There just comes a time when you know and that time came.

    Transfer Portal 2023-2024...

    Well, you do remember that the team was Interviewed about who would you not allow your daughter to date and IB was fairly prominent. Seems to fit the narrative

    Transfer Portal 2023-2024...

    Do not have any doubt. I get it. I have said all year long that our ceiling with Milroe at QB is not nearly as high as with some other QBs on staff. Milroe struggles reading coverage and cannot see the field. That has to be frustrating for a WR. In the past, our WRs couldn’t get separation...

    Bama Game Thread: Official Postgame Thread - Bama vs. Michigan...

    Said very much the same thing to my wife. After the Georgia game, she said that I’m sure my mind was changed but I piped back that it changed nothing. Frankly, I thought Ty should have had the nod and just let him develop and get some experience. Would we have made it to the championship game...

    Pretty sure that is what was planned. Bad snap blew it up. Poor center play was an issue all season long but unfortunately was on prominent display at the worst possible time.

    Issues/Questions Related to CFP Rankings

    Good question. First, these are administrators so they know how to pivot and change their story or spin the dialogue in a way that fits what I believe is a predetermined agenda or outcome. They have lots of practice at this. Is it because this is the last year of the four team playoff and...

    Issues/Questions Related to CFP Rankings

    The fan base that has every right to be mad is Texas. I don’t get having Oregon over them. Just makes no sense at all. When this whole thing started, it was clear or made clear that scheduling tough opponents would be rewarded or not be punitive within reason. That’s clearly not the case. If...

    Issues/Questions Related to CFP Rankings

    I believe you are correct. It’s clear they value the head to head vs Texas so any domino it takes to get Texas in would require an extra one for us. That means Texas has to lose and FSU and I’m not sure even then that they would move us to four. Seems like it is highly unlikely we get there.

    Dates set for some games in Alabama’s 2024 schedule

    That’s as tough a schedule as I have ever seen. That stretch starting with Georgia is a grind.

    Question: Will the loser of Ohio State-Michigan drop below us?

    Don’t think so but if we beat UGA then I expect it to happen. We have struggled with USF, Auburn, etc.

    BREAKING Jimbo & Texas A&M parting ways according to TexAg sources (now confirmed)

    So many thoughts here. First, Jimbo‘s tirade on recruiting isn’t the Aggie way. That was the beginning of the end. So much hubris and childishness. He basically laughed at the Board of Regents in recent comments like our goal is to be bowl eligible. You are not paid $20M to be bowl eligible...

    Bama Game Thread: Official Postgame Thread - Bama vs. Hogs....

    Precisely on point here. And he is basically saying to the others to hit the portal. The best player should be starting and it is obvious Milroe is not going to cut it. Simpson could be getting some valuable development play. Now we will be stuck in the same boat next year. Just don’t get it.

    Bama Game Thread: Official Postgame Thread - Bama vs. Hogs....

    Milroe can’t make the short throw. He short arms the ball and it sails or just isn’t accurate. He can throw it long and that’s about it. some things you can fix but you can’t fix inaccuracy. Made the wrong choice at QB IMO but until someone at LT can block I don’t think it will matter.

    Bama Game Thread: Official Postgame Thread - Bama vs. Hogs....

    At some point, it just becomes evident this team is not going to make a lot of progress. LT is a big problem. Poor coaching as we are not helping Milton out. Lack of discipline. We are beating these teams merely because we have more talent. When we run up against an equally talented team, we...

    I will say this about the O line, there’s a reason why NFL o lines are not as heavy as ours. Agility is important. We need to actually lose some weight and get stronger.

    BREAKING Buchner to start- per reports

    Agree and it should have been obvious that JM wasn’t the guy way back in the Spring. That is disconcerting on its own.

    Milroe to start vs MTSU - Per ESPN's Chris Low

    I told my wife a year ago who would start this game. I have watched Nick long enough to know he rewards loyalty and Milroe stuck around so he will be starting. I don’t believe he is the best qb and don’t believe necessarily the best qb starts for Bama. You just had to know how this would go down.

    Question: Why do people cheer for the University of Alabama football team when they didn't attend school there?

    Why do people establish citizenship in the U.S. when they were born in some other country? For me, I grew up pulling for Alabama. We didn’t have the money for me to attend there. I got a job and paid my way through UAB but I’ve always been a fan….not that I had a choice in my family.
