    CNS's Best "in-game" Coaching Calls

    Along those lines, I remember a championship game -- don't remember whether it was SEC or BCS. But early on, our D was getting gashed on the ground. Saban made an in-game call to scrap the plan and change the way the D was lining up. I'm guessing that also involved tweaking personnel to guys...

    CNS's Best "in-game" Coaching Calls

    I don't know who called the D, but it was the right call. Who botched it was the UGA coaches. UGA was lined up in punt formation. We weren't even in punt-safe. We were in our standard D.... double-dog-daring them to fake. Fields stood no chance on a run off a direct snap. I don't blame...

    WSJ -- "How NCAA Fumbled Control of College Football"

    My next law school class will be my first. During my banking career, I did, however, work with a lot of lawyers in a number of capacities. And I’ve slept with one for 37 years. So I’ve picked at least a smattering of the thought process. Hoping maybe you can clear up a question I’ve had for...

    WSJ -- "How NCAA Fumbled Control of College Football"

    Article from today's WSJ. If you aren't a subscriber, it'll be behind a paywall. With One Colossal Mistake, the NCAA Lost Control of College Football - WSJ Essentially says that the crucial mistake was in the early 1980s when the NCAA', led by Walter Byers, wouldn't negotiate a settlement...

    80 Years ago today... Hiroshima

    Agreed, Bodhi. And not just Allied / American lives. The Japanese civilian population would have been destroyed. A lot of that is because they would have been pressed into service in the military (whether uniformed or not) and thereby would have become combatants. Thankfully, we'll never...

    What News Do You Want to Hear Coming Out of Fall Camp???

    This discussion is crossing the line between debate and questioning personal motivations. I don't care who said what about what topic first, when or why they said it. The sparring stops now. You decide how it stops.

    Trump's Policies, Part 7

    Numbers are the most dispassionate thing in the universe. The big budget items are Social Security, Medicare and Defense. Relative to those, the rest is nickels and dimes on the margins. Until they -- especially SSI and Medicare -- get addressed, nothing else will have a material effect...

    Video: Pate's season preview and prediction for Bama

    My prediction is 10-2. Losses to Georgia and either the barn or Mizzou. the barn on the road is pretty self-explanatory. For my trepidation on Mizzou, you have to look at the schedule — theirs and ours. 9/27, We’re at Georgia. Probable loss. Definitely a physical game. 10/4, we have Vandy...

    USPS needs to to be gutted. Yes, I've come around and I hate this agency.

    They're in most decent-sized cities. Even Tuscaloosa has one. If you don't live in a place that has a AAA nearby, from the posts above, it looks like there are lots of other options. The point is that USPS is no longer the only game in town for passport photos. And yeah, Tidewater, I didn't...

    Russia Invades Ukraine XVIII

    Willi must have been a really good pilot, and lucky on top of that. Or the rocket guys got him before his luck ran out. Not many German fighter pilots survived.

    USPS needs to to be gutted. Yes, I've come around and I hate this agency.

    I don't disagree with the lack of respect for the USPS. But what would you replace it with, how would it be different from what we have now, and how would you handle the transition? Also, just FYI, Triple-A / AAA / the American Automobile Association does passport pictures on the spot...

    Ghislaine Maxwell Receives 20 Years for Aiding Epstein in Sex Trafficking

    I don’t know. One guess would be the location of evidence that they didn’t already have. With that knowledge, they can go get it and either destroy it or hold it away from prying eyes. That’s purely a guess. But one with no blue font.

    Social Security increases payments to former govt employees.

    I agree. But I don't think anyone since Ronald Reagan (fresh off a 44-state victory over an incumbent Jimmy Carter), would have the political clout to do that. And I don't see anybody of that political stature in either party. Plus, that was 45 years ago. Anyone old enough to remember that...

    Ghislaine Maxwell Receives 20 Years for Aiding Epstein in Sex Trafficking

    Jeffrey Epstein was a lot of horrible things. Stupid he wasn't. The documents Trump is holding onto were in the DOJ's possession well before Trump took office. IOW, the Biden DOJ had them. Those names haven't been released because they are prominent politicians and donors on all points of...

    Social Security increases payments to former govt employees.

    Earle’s right. The tariffs aren’t about anything other than massaging Trump’s need to exercise power. Their ostensible purpose never works. They will increase prices (i.e., create inflation), which will eliminate any reason for the Fed to decrease interest rates. *. At a macro level, they...

    Norvell closing F$U practices

    In the four weeks after us, FSU plays East Texas A&M, off week, Kent State and Virginia. We are all aware of Malzahn’s prep for us. He sells out. In this case, he has all spring, all summer, and all fall camp. And after us he plays nobody until Miami on October 4. Then (assuming Miami is...

    Tank Jones Becomes a Duck (Commits to Oregon)

    I’d love for Tank to have chosen Alabama. He didn’t. So best wishes to him, except when a poor performance by Oregon benefits us. If Eugene isn’t all he wants it to be, I’d welcome him back in Tuscaloosa.

    The Decline of the DNC III

    The DNC is in conflict with its base. The leaders are scared of the left wing, and rightly so. AOC was/is so far left that she scared Nancy Pelosi. Think on that. I notice that AOC's been deafeningly silent lately. Which tells me that she wants to soften her image, get elected to something...

    What News Do You Want to Hear Coming Out of Fall Camp???

    Based on a quote in this article from BamaHammer, DeBoer is strongly hinting that last year’s QB wasn’t able to (or refused to) go through progressions. https://bamahammer.com/kalen-deboer-reveals-why-ty-simpson-gives-him-confidence-after-the-jalen-milroe-experience That statement would be...

    What News Do You Want to Hear Coming Out of Fall Camp???

    Just the basics. Keep your mouth shut. Work hard. Improve. Know your assignment. Execute your assignment. Be strong and conditioned enough to get up and do it again. And again. And again. And again. Let your dominant play do the talking. And no injuries.
