my goodness...we get our rear ends handed to us in January...then before the 1st game we get 4 guys suspended??? I'm thankful for the way CNS is laying the law down but this does speak of, as others have said, LEADERSHIP ISSUES on the team. We'll still win vs. Duke, but if this is not stopped in it's tracks...it will come back to bite us vs. other good teams.

Sounds like selfishness is still present. 3 of these guys have waited long stretches to show their stuff, and they do this ?

Stupid is as stupid does. Of course, we don't know the details, but we should be fine even if these guys miss the first half.

Bring on Chadarius Townsend and Keilan Robinson. This is your chance, guys. Make the most of it. Run hard and protect Tua in the pocket!

If I was CNS and we had the game well in hand at halftime, I'd consider not playing them at all. Grab some pine, boys! I got lots of guys foaming at the mouth to take your spot in the lineup.
That’s not a bad idea. Time to grow up. It’d be great if somehow some pro scouts could say something to them to the effect, “ You know guys, we noticed......”

These four all have superb reputations
It’s likely that it was something either beyond their control or someone misunderstood something.

They didn’t cheat on a test.
They didn’t beat anyone up
They didn’t drink and drive
They didn’t sell a text book
They didn’t get caught with pot
They didn’t get caught with a gun
They didn’t miss curfew

This sounds to me that Saban is using this to make a statement about the season. Sit then for a half. Get everyone’s attention. Let them come in the second half and work off their punishment.

This gets some youngsters focused on playing early.

Those of you acting like we should kick them off the team, or thinking we could get upset, etc. need to relax.

Yeah, I just hate to see these guys not get on the field........... but rules are rules( and yeah, we’ve all broken them and suffered the consequences)

Probably nothing more than it is....... hopefully they come out in the 2nd half mad

Re: It's that time yet again.... Pick the score: Alabama vs. Duke

With the developments of losing 4 key players for a half, I am predicting 24-10.
Wow! The Clemson beating got us Bama fans still traumatized. Bama will destroy Duke by 4 TDs without Bama key players.

I remember Coach Saban saying he likes a tough opponent to start the season because he has found that brings and extra bit of focus and attention to detail leading up to the season opener. I know it shouldn't matter but makes me think the man knows what he is talking about.

I've heard at least for two of them that they missed a team event, likely a team movie.

In this day and age paying attention to detail is getting harder to do. I appreciate CNS doing what he thinks is necessary to get their attention. Paying attention to detail is what has made CNS successful.

That's exactly what it was. The team recently saw "Angel Has Fallen." The players missed it.

The overreaction by some should be surprising, but it's not.

Good heavens! I'm not sure what is more shocking...losing 4 players or the idea this affects the outcome of the game OR that they get kicked off the team :rolleye2:

Seriously...some of you need to step back from the ledge!

The biggest impact, as a poster noted, is a 3rd or 4th team RB not picking up a blitz.
