    Bama related: congrats to Jalen, Devonta and Landon for a Superbowl win

    Show class, have pride, and display character. If you do, winning takes care of itself. Coach Bryant This as much as anything epitomizes Jalen... and all three of the guys really.

    Sen. John Fetterman is the best Democratic candidate for 2028, IMHO.....

    I was impressed with Shapiro after the assassination attempt in Pa. Much will depend on the next 3 or 4 years. The middle class has carried the burden of supporting those above and below for a generation or more. But... I'm not sure there's any country that has handled the post-WW2 era any...

    That play by Metchie is hard-nosed football defined. One of my all time favorite plays.... It mattered....

    Seahawks fire OC Ryan Grubb after one season

    Would have been some interesting player/coach dynamics..... Reckon he would have been signaling touchdown on the sideline before the ball was thrown?

    Question: What’s the formula for success in the NIL era?

    I have no idea but it seems to me that there needs to be a nucleus of players that remain with the university for 3 or more years… particularly among the offensive and defensive linemen. I’m thinking it’s nearly impossible to reach the physical development necessary for excellence in those...

    Alabama: Rank the positions that need the most work in the offseason

    Is there a scenario where we still back into the playoffs?

    Not sure this fits here and it's a bit random but since we struggled so much on the road I wonder if there was something in CNS's team travel routine that was different. Obviously road games aren't unique to the SEC but "SEC road games" are. I swear it seems like we just weren't mentally there...

    Coach Bryant reached down with a little forearm shiver....

    I wonder if Jack O'Rear has any eligibility left. In fairness, the games that we've played poorly in we just look lost across the board....

    The unintended consequences thread for the soon to be "new format" of CFB

    Players not yet ready for prime time (3 stars that simply need time to develop physically)...even some with high ceilings may never get an opportunity to grow and start at blue blood schools as positions of need are filled by transfers who come in with both maturity and experience

    Alabama QBs in 2024

    Going by memory here (which is dangerous for me)... but I don't think this "win the team" approach to QB competition was new this year with Saban. I seem to recall him using that phrase in his early years at Bama... and likely before then. It's not about handing the decision making to the...

    Spring Practice Thread/News/Predictions

    .... oops... I should've finished reading the thread before posting... Not much new below that wasn't said more succinctly earlier... I don't think a new coach can bring players from his former school and just plug them in with the 1's on day one. You just can't. Those guys should come in with...

    JessN: Assistant coach hiring tracker...

    I'm thinking there's a lot to consider (for all parties) in a coaching hire at this level. Coach Deboar would likely prefer someone who will commit for a few years, who will implement his system,... and can recruit, etc, etc. An established OC might prefer his own system... or at least the...

    JessN: Assistant coach hiring tracker...

    I would love for Grubb to come out with a public statement dismissing the rumors and saying his firmly with the Tide. However, if his contract is still under negotiation, such a statement would likely cost him money... potentially a lot of money. Not sure I can blame him for keeping it close to...

    Transfer Portal 2023-2024...

    We'll be alright. Great opportunity for those who have second thoughts to be gone. Those who stay are likely to be "bought in" to the system... and to each other. I mentioned in the good news thread that, once the dust settles, this year is likely to feel more like building again instead of...

    Good News Thread

    This team may surprise us. For the last 15 years or so anything less than a national championship somehow felt like failure... at least to many of us. The new era feels like an opportunity to build again instead of trying not to fall off the pinnacle. The portal is part of the first stage. It...

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

    My heart would have preferred a blowout win.... but these kinds of games are better than anything at focusing a team. I'm not sure how well we can compete with UGA, but oddly enough I like our chances better after a win such as this. Weaknesses exposed.... growth opportunities for Milroe...I...

    Texas vs Texas Tech

    I won't post images ... not sure about copyright rules..... But does CSS remind anyone else of the late Pee Wee Herman? Now I can't unthink about it.
