    BREAKING Colin Hitschler has been informed he will not return to the Crimson Tide next year.

    Living in Raleigh with a daughter at UNC and son who does media work for the team, I watched quite a few UNC games. Their secondary was beyond awful. There has to be something somebody is seeing because it ain't the product on the field.

    Bama Game Thread: Official Postgame Thread - Reliaquest Bowl, Bama vs. Michigan, Dec. 31, 11:00 AM, ESPN...

    Not wrong but a few thoughts. 1. Most people knew Saban was probably a few years from retiring so it was a risk of having to find a new job in a couple years. 2. He knew what he had with Penix - and he wasn't wrong. 3. When it came time to choose between Deboer and the NFL he probably thought...

    Maybe not for much longer on the Seattle front. Lots of smoke that Grubb may be out. Although what we might not like is that he is likely out due to his refusal to run the ball, which resulted in a poor offensive output. Might be a lump of goal wrapped in a gift bag though. Then again CNS...

    News Article: Alabama AD Greg Byrne to reassess scheduling after Tide CFP snub

    Yup - just some guys and girls sitting down in a smoky room and rearranging the chess pieces. ESPN will still pay out the same amount of money. They might even tell the ACC they'll give them more money for basketball since they are "the" basketball conference, right.. ignoring recent results.

    News Article: Alabama AD Greg Byrne to reassess scheduling after Tide CFP snub

    I'll certainly agree none of us has the complete picture but if this were the case then why are Clemson and FSU even bothering to litigate? Maybe they really are just bluffing and trying to sweeten the pot for themselves. Or maybe they have some white-shoe law firms who feel like the language...

    News Article: Alabama AD Greg Byrne to reassess scheduling after Tide CFP snub

    Contracts are written to be broken. Someone will just need to sit down and do the math on buyouts + billable hours on lawyers vs media rights from ABC/ESPN. I mean you don't have to look any further than how SMU slid into the ACC by foregoing TV money.

    News Article: Alabama AD Greg Byrne to reassess scheduling after Tide CFP snub

    SEC and Big10 raid the ACC for whomever they wish to take. 32 or 40 team super league. 4 pods. Play every team in your pod. Play enough out of pod games against the others to get to 12 games. 12 team playoff. pod winners get first round bye. 2nd and 3rd place teams in each pod play on...

    Bama Game Thread: MBB Bama @ UNC 12.04 ESPN 6:15 CST

    I was raising hell from Row W in Section 213. You know that HUGE TV board - yeah I was buried behind that but didn't care. The daughter is a senior at UNC but she still rocked the Bama sweatshirt and cheered for us. Funny enough 3 or 4 of her friends were around us and looked at her like...

    Bama Game Thread: MBB Bama @ UNC 12.04 ESPN 6:15 CST

    Just got home from the game. It was glorious watching the fans start streaming out with about 4-5 minutes to go. There was a pretty good Bama contingent there. It was easy to pick up the red in the crowd.

    Question: Bama - UNC Tickets

    So my daughter, a student at UNC, got the notification that tickets were available. 15 minutes later when she got out of class they were all gone. Taking a flyer here and seeing if there is any chance folks have access to tickets not on the open market. Willing to pay fair value but not happy...

    I still think we got the right guy (Coach DeBoer)

    Might have been brought up previously or in another thread but a thought exercise. Step 1 - If CNS stays, what players who would be the starters or major contributors this year that stay? Likely Downs. Probably not Bond. Maybe Key? Maybe someone else in the defensive backfield. Can't think...

    BREAKING Jeheim Oatis to redshirt and enter transfer portal

    Would players be doing this if you voluntarily take the redshirt after 4 games then you have to sit out the first 4 of the next year if you transfer? I bet that would put quite the damper on such things. Injuries or some kind of forced redshirt from the coaching staff are a different beast.

    Moore's Actions at the end of the game...

    While what MM did was certainly wrong many on here are acting as if this would have NEVER happened under CNS. Anybody remember the Ronnie Harrison/Eddie Jackson near fight on the sidelines during the USC game? I'm also pretty sure we never had any utterly ridiculous personal fouls on players...

    Why not Latham at LT?

    Can't remember what Sugar bowl it was. Either Oklahoma or Utah but we had one guy already injured and another go down in the game. Instead of plugging in a less than perfect option for the injured guy and keep everyone else in their natural spot the staff shuffled everywhere to where nobody...

    Pick Your Preferred Way to Win - Offense or Defense???

    While I enjoy watching us dominate/humiliate a team on defense the simple fact is if you are up 10-0 it literally takes 2 plays to lose the game, no matter how well you have played for all of the other plays. A cornerback slipping or a safety falling asleep and it's an 80 yard touchdown...

    Bama Game Thread: Bama vs LSU Men’s Hoops - Sat 3p CST - ESPN

    That doesn't sound right. We laid waste to Mississippi State back in 2005, 98-49. I remember listening to the game and Earnest Shelton going off.

    2-point vs Extra Point on Final Touchdown

    I think this captures my thoughts on it. The thing those charts can't possibly capture is the flow of the game. LSU wasn't going to drive the ball twice and get two field goals, which is why you might go for 2. If we had been stuffing them once they got to the red zone all night it may have...

    2-point vs Extra Point on Final Touchdown

    Help me out with something. What was the strategy behind going for 2 vs 1 on our last touchdown in regulation? If we simply kick the extra point then the field goal at the end puts us up by 1. The only scenario I can come up with is if we get 2 then we are up 23-17 and hoping they miss an...

    Player celebrations

    I wonder if we can split this thread between people who have played sports at even the high school level and those who haven't. I've done it, my son is going through it now. The amount of sacrifice and work these guys put into getting to that point and to that play is something most will...
