I think this could be a good thing for our community college system. Most students in Alabama don't consider community college as "real school," but in Mississippi it's a viable option. Their colleges even have nice sized marching band programs that funnel more students into the school. Also...

Or that they will use it to keep us out. This will be an albatross on the entire rest of the season.

That begs the question: is Alabama the next Nebraska? Will we be humbled by a changing landscape?

Some players can say that won a Super Bowl, but they will never be able to show their kids a video of them playing in a Super Bowl.

I know this sounds crazy, but hear me out. We fire Grubb now and well win the natty next year!

Mark Richt had the nice guy label, too.

There are so many that I have trouble keeping up....or caring anymore.

There should be, but someone would just file a lawsuit. We need to just save the time and effort and get rid of any rules.

In the past coaches could apply pressure to play or get cut. Now they can just go to the portal.

In the same way that having your starting QB get hurt, having a backup that ends up being the GOAT, and then having your career implode after he leaves is luck. And I'm even a Pats/Belichick fan.

This is not the end of things. You still have the AHSAA transfer/financial aid bylaws in place and in conflict with CHOOSE Act requirements.

And this is why permanent captains should be voted on after the season. IMO, the LANK/Nilroe mess disqualified him from being honored at Denny Chimes, just as Ty should have been had he transferred.

Exactly. Go back to when Saban was talking about players having "anxiety" and using that as an excuse for things. That's when things started to slip.

Indiana. I don't root for other SEC teams, my inlaws are all Purdue fans, and Indiana is as close to my beloved joyless murderball as we'll get these days.

LSU, for example. A lot of schools in the lesser games actually lose money on bowl trips. Here's a great article from the Knight Commission about that. It's from 2010, but I think the point still holds after COVID and inflation...

If our best players at any position group over a for year period are transfers, that's a horrible red flag! I think that Oline is the start of our problems, but how did we end up with that many busts? Either failure to evaluate or failure to develop.

I saw someone post this on X, but can't find it now. We've talked a lot about OL and RB problems, but the problems at WR have been masked by some pretty decent portal additions, while our talent evaluation and development has not been good at all. Agiye Hall (transferred to Texas) Aaron...

All of this, plus: we're in the playoff era now and success in the playoffs is how a team like Bama will be judged. 7-3 used to be a good season and 10-win seasons were great. An 11-win season is no longer what it once was. You either progress in the playoffs and win or the season is not a...

I'm sure Megan Rondini has something to say about that. Police in college towns tend to look the other way for people with a name.

I seem to remember Gary Danielson harping on Mount Cody for taking his helmet off in celebration after blocking UTK's kick. With all the things they don't call, that just seems so ticky-tack to me. Anyway, here's video of the whole sequence.
