I just don't see how Arthur Blank can justify firing Petrino. I mean this crappy season was NOT his fault. Vick being stupid was not his fault. Being stuck with Jim Mora, Jr's team while trying to implement a new offense is going to take time. Do I think Petrino will eventually go back to...
I appreciate Pierre Goode's honesty, but that stuff needs to be handle behind close doors, especially considering we are talking about a kid. Look, if Billingsley play that poorly, fine....call him into the coaches office and let him have it. But do it behind close doors. Billingsley is still a...
And yet, I'm not really worried. While there are those that are 100% committed right now to certain schools (the kids that grew up Alabama fans, like Tyler Love) a majority of prospects are under the "soft verbal" until NSD.
I mean if you are given an opportunity to watch another big...
Re: Tide Sports Chat Transcript Part I (Oct. 31)
I don't. The fact that there has been little to no info regarding AB and Alabama tells me, that he likes the school, but isn't too sure about moving across country to play college football. Same thing with Julio Jones with Oklahoma. I am...
Re: Lester And Jones?
IMO, that is nothing. Jones will not be lost by Saban. This is for show. I am confident that Jones and Lester will be at Alabama in 2008.
Lets' put it this way.....Julio Jones is a coaches dream. He has the great athletics to be a PRIME player, but he is also one heckuva student. Julio Jones is not a person you will have to worry about getting in trouble, or having trouble in class.
I know, I'm not rto, but my understand is that JJ is a heavy Alabama lean, and that his coaches might be pushing up the "drama" angle. I would be very surprise if JJ leaves the SEC for Oklahoma. I fully expect JJ to be a Crimson Tide in 2008.
Why? IMO, both Star Jackson and AJ McCarron are both better quarterbacks, regardless of how many stars they have. And if Saban has told Star he was only signing 1 QB in the 08 class, I trust Saban will stick to his word. And imo, Gabbert isn't worth breaking a word. Personally, Gabbert is abit...
Re: First 5* of '09 Season
It depends on if Tuberville is committed to Auburn or not, IMO. If Tubes decides to leave AU, then all bet's are off....but if Tubes stays, I give UA a 45% chance with Auburn as his decent lean.
I think CNS is bedging his bets on Star and AJ McCarron (if AJ committs for the 09 class). Getting Blaine would have been sweet, and any other yr, I would be disappointed about not getting a TOP NOTCH HS QB prospects, but with Star already committed, and AJ is a strong possibilty for UA, then...
Most HSers tend to not want to play football too far from their own backyards. I realize there are the Joe McKnights, who will travel to play college football, but the majority of HSers will find a school in the radius of their home to play their college football. Which means, IMO, Jones going...
I'm not convince that Arthur Blank is going to fire or release Petrino from his contract, giving the circumstances of what has happen to the Falcons organization. So, IMO, I don't think we will have to worry about Petrino replace Tubby at "The Barn."
It is. I can't remember another Alabama HS with as much top level talent that St. Paul's has, and that includes Hoover. I honestly believe that if St. Paul faced Prattville (USA Todays #2 team in the Nation), Prattville would lose the game. That how talented that St. Paul's team is.
And i...
Personally the OU trip is nothing more then a courtesy trip for Jones. Most---not all--- HS sign with team that basically in the area. So, I honestly believe the OU is nothing more then a courtesy/fact finding type trip for him
Well, Demeco Ryans was 212 lbs when he came to Alabama, and look what happen to him? So, I'm not concern about the lack of weight on AB. You can add weight to a talented player, but you can't add talent.
Re: Blue-chip defensive tackle Reggie Ellis to visit
IDK about that. I mean Illinois is coming off a GREAT recruiting season of 07, having a solid effort for the 08 class. Now while, I don't see a NC for them in the next four yrs, but I don't see them being 2nd fiddle for much longer.
The question I have on Jones is this: Will he be at the UA/LSU game?
I'm figuring if he showed up at the Ark/GA/UT games, I'm guessing he's not going to miss the biggest home game of the season against a TOP school.
