JessN: 2025 Football: An Early Look at Spring Battles

[Cruloc]

Did you forget VANDERBILT?????????????????????????????

Nope. We could score vs Vandy. We had no offense vs the two I mentioned. We had a terrible QB and a coach unwilling to bench him. We were incompetent all around

Our D was incompetent against Vandy! Alabama should NEVER lose to Vandy!

We were inept all the way around against Vandy as well.

The offense had 10 drives:
5 TDs.
2 turnovers (one a pick six and one horrible fumble on a first down when we had a chance to take the lead)
2 3and outs
1 at the end of half.

Even the drives with a lot of plays consumed very little clock. It was basically home run or strike out.

I hope if Ty plays as bad as Milroe did in games like Oklahoma, he gets benched. I don't want to get so frustrated that I turn a game off.

I turned the OK game off at halftime. I knew the outcome and just couldn’t stand to watch it.

What thread is this? I thought I clicked on the Spring Battles title.

There's some serious 2024 PTSD. Maybe the team psychologist could lend a hand.

Last season seems like a touchy subject. Should we talk about it? No! Heck no! Okay, well then, let's move on. Should we talk about childhood traumas? Again, heck no! Okay, let's move on. Do you FEEL the excitement for the coming season can remove certain negative aspects of things you've shared? Yes! Great, let's expand upon that!

 

[Padreruf]

Time to move on...some of us need to go see a shrink if the posts are any indication of how deeply we hare stuck in the past. Nothing ruins life more than rehearsal of past failures. Examine them, learn from them, and move on.

 

[Ledsteplin]

Moving on with a positive. I hear Jah-Marien Latham has worked hard in the off season. LT Overton says, "Man, he's like 10x faster!"

He's reshaped himself completely with the position move getting his weight way down. He's put in the work and I really hope he gets to show out this season.

It's the lows that make the highs so enjoyable. Such is life, so to speak.

I think we'll all be very giddy next year with a renewed sense of expecatations.

 

[CrimSonami]

WR room is packed at the moment. What do we have, 7-8 on Scholly? I'm hearing Lotzeir B has been a real problem so far. Does the Mbakwe move hold with all this talent? Kinda concerned about losing some of that talent to the TP.

Any news about the OL? Are they getting leaner and meaner?

 

[uaintn]

I'm choosing to view this fall as (another) complete fresh start. I'm going to be concerned about the offensive line, but I am that way every year. I'm less PTSD about last season than I am the path that college football seems to be following generally. I'll suspend that concern to watch the games and hope for the best.

 

[Rocky Mtn Bob]

Thanks, Jess! I am drumming my fingers on the desk, eager for this next season!

That cat has been at Bama through thick n thin now. I wish the best for him.

You really do have to give those who stick around much credit. I'm sure the portal looks awfully tempting.

And many of them have and will. We tend to look at the many transfers but in most cases they are not starters and were here for depth purposes. The grass is not always greener and our guys are treated like royalty. Ask Proctor.

Seem to get lots of reports on the “ glory “ positions, not so much concerning the positions that make the whole shebang go…..or not.

This what I’m wondering about too. I believe I heard proctor is out this spring with some injury so I’m guessing he missed the conditioning period too. He needed to lose weight the most imo. Hopefully he can get healthy and drop 25 pounds of fat this summer
