Re: Official "Stop beating a dead horse" thread
Amen Brother!! I don't trash our players or write stuff that might hurt me heir feelings should they read the boards. Besides.....there are so many things going on in a young man's life that I would have no clue about anymore than that young man would know about mine. I wish each of them the best, and hope for the best for all th se boys. No matter where theygo to school. Ain't that what Dad's do? Besides......I am JUST a fan. That is all.
Did you not not mean " who have the most bestest hat? Tua or Jalen?
On phone, invision/imagine blue font
i wish i could stop seeing (though people are entitled to their opinions)
Jalen should change positions if he wants to make it to the NFL
Jalen should change positions if he wants to make it to the NFL
While I believe he could possibly make the switch and have it work, I don't think it will happen at Alabama. I can't think of a position he could switch to and not be 3rd or worst on the depth chart, just given his lack of experience at any other position. I really think the ship has sailed on that.
And I have said it before, but will repeat myself: if I had to pick someone to blame for the fact that Jalen is most likely not going to be an NFL player, I would choose to blame his father. He was the high school coach, and wanted to win. It is certainly understandable that he would choose his star athlete (his son) to play the most critical position on the team. And of course, son is going to say "I definitely want to be the QB." But that decision was short-sighted, in my opinion, especially given that they let him go all the way through high school without learning how to read a defense or work on his release and decision-making. Why not? Because it was easy enough to just let Jalen out-athlete everyone on the field and have easy wins. Father should have, in my opinion, either put him at a position where he really could develop into a potential NFL player, or gotten some Jalen working on playing the QB position the right way, ran a playbook reflective of that, even if it hurt some, and let the kid develop early, rather than now saying we should be doing what he failed to do for the first 18 years of the kid's life (wow that was a long sentence. I should really go break that one up...nah).
I'm OK with whatever is posted.
Happy just to be here.
Thank you all.
That said......how much longer again before football season starts back up?

We're sort of live and let live when it comes to grammar. When I see the "have ran," "have went", "have laid down", (referring to oneself) in a thread title, I'll correct it. Thread titles are what about 95% of casual browsers look at anyway. In the body of a post, I may cringe a bit, but I don't correct it...
I always correct it in my mind until I get too annoyed with it - and then I just skip the rest of the post.
At this point there are a number of posters whom I simply, generally just skip over without reading.

The APA Style Guide and I thank you . . .You should always spell out numbers under 10 --
That's pretty much what I was taught, too. Single-digit numbers and ten should be spelled out eleven and twelve can go either way.
As a public speaker the "have went" one bugs me the most. I've made plenty of bungles in speaking and writing, but in a forum setting I don't pay much attention to it. Public speaking and formal writing are much different IMO. Everybody needs a proof writer for professional papers/documents.
"Would / Could / Should of" drives me up the wall. Why is it so hard to write "Would have"?
A close second is the currently-popular, "would have" in the sense of "had." As in, "If he would have said / done X..." For goodness sake, it's "If he had said / done X."
And yes, a construction along the lines of, "If he would of said X..." puts me entirely over the edge.
Many posters here correctly point out that freedom of speech does not equal freedom from consequences of that speech. They are right. But that knife cuts a lot of ways.
