    QB Competition 2018

    I have not read all the post on this.... but one thing to keep in mind in talking about Jalen and his passing game.... he has only thrown 1 int all year... the lack of turnovers in passing is significant....I would much rather watch Jalen take a sack or run for no gain that to throw two or...

    Kevin Sumlin Contacted the SEC About the Mack Wilson Hit

    Please note my post from Oct 17th.... T A&M runners do this constantly............ In noting the number of injuries to Tenn. players in the game with A&M, I noticed that the A&M ball carriers, when faced with a tackle lowered the head and butted the defensive players. I am no expert, but...

    T A&M and injuries...

    In noting the number of injuries to Tenn. players in the game with A&M, I noticed that the A&M ball carriers, when faced with a tackle lowered the head and butted the defensive players. I am no expert, but it appears they are coached to do that...and the likely result may be an injury. Hope...

    Link: Hmm... Discussions about eliminating kickoffs...

    I think there are forces out there that want to destroy the game we love so much...... PC.... professors who think competition is bad.... milk toast people who don't like the idea of a "man's sport".... the same nut jobs that did away with the jump ball in Basketball....... Let us watch...

    Baylor needs to hire some good lawyers (Update: Briles Fired, AD and Starr Resigns)

    Re: Baylor needs to hire some good lawyers My point..... Outside the Lines, 60 Minutes, Nightline...they are all 'investigative reports' and they are almost always slanted to make the point of doing the thing to begin with..... If this guy is guilty he should be go to jail for life or lose his...

    Baylor needs to hire some good lawyers (Update: Briles Fired, AD and Starr Resigns)

    Re: Baylor needs to hire some good lawyers A careful reading of this shows that it is a hit piece..... This is a '60 Minutes Article'... even going to the extreme of pointing out that Baylor's Pres. was the Special Council against Bill C. Baylor IS a fine institution, and one has to ask the...

    Let's Enjoy It, TideFans! A Plea for a more Positive Attitude!

    I remember back in the 1970s when we were winning like we are today. We would win something like 21-7 and people would complain about 'what's wrong with Bama?' Coach Saban mentioned this the other day.... When we are winning like the early 60s and all of the 70s and now this era... I agree we...

    Thanks to the boys in CRIMSON

    As a Tide Fan since 1958, I have always said...if we strap em on and get beat, so be it. I just never want to lose like we have sometimes on a flukey thing at the end. We got beat. Thanks to the team and the coaches who have and will given us so many great memories. RT

    Should Alabama football players join the players' union?

    These are STUDENTS! Not employees. There are forces out there that want to ruin college football. Too competitive... too many injuries..... and on and on.... there is NO PLACE for students to form a union. TERRIBLE IDEA. Let's keep football, the game we love, as the game we have always loved.

    I too am a Tidefan (since 1957). Having lived in Waco for 32 years, and having kids that are Baylor grads...I am a Bear fan. Amazing that we have others in Waco who are Tidefans. Nothing will ever be like Alabama, and Baylor (unlike all the little sisters in the SEC) doesn't pretend to be. The...

    You can make one change for the good of College Football?

    Do away with the NCAA.... put the top schools that have things in common in one organization and the others in one or more. The top Schools, Ala, Tx, Mich...etc... could make their own rules as to schollies, playing rules...etc.... "Pd Dunk U" that plays mainly Soccer and Ladies basket...

I love the way they operate and how the process from getting the recruits, to coaching them to potential to the game planning.... all the stuff that goes into what we are...

    Link: Future Play-Off System

    In the Service we called it SNAFU...... The very idea that a bunch of middle and old age men can do a better job of getting the best two teams in the NC game is K R A P... Mark my words...this will hurt the Tide down the road... anyone remember 1966? The world hates the Tide, because they can't...

    Baylor is on the move! This is a class institution... yes you have to read and write to get in, even if you are a football player. Recruiting is improving each year...and winning cures a lot of ills. My Daughter is a grad, and my Son's daughter is a student. Floyd Casey is sold out for LMonroe...

    As a live long Tide Fan, I have been living in Waco since 1982. This thing is beautiful, and is going to be a real boon to the Bears. Ian McCall, the AD has done a great job here improving all the facilities including a new indoor practice facility, etc. He has also brought winning coaches to...
