Blech. An 11 a.m game on Tuesday morning in Tampa against an opponent I could care less about. They will bill it as a battle of blue bloods. Not this year. Especially with a team that may win by three scores (and should) or may manage three points in four quarters (and could).

My sister and her husband live nearby. I could stay with them and tickets should be very cheap. No thanks. I’ll clean out the basement or something. Too painful to watch.

you're not excited about Bama vs Oklahoma, round 2?

It sounds like from what CKD was saying tonight, I don't think we'll see opts out of the game from the players.

You know, as much as I'd like to see Milroe, Booker and some other cats decide to sit this out (and I wouldn't blame JM if he does if he's projected as the #3 QB in the draft), it is their "right" to decide to play.

And think about how "bad" it would look for CKD if he tried to freeze these guys out.

I'm not in JM's fan club, but if wants to play he should get to play.

I agree. It's not that deep. People are having to take their BP just because theyre upset that Milroe might play in the bowl game.

I don’t want to see Milroe play again but goodness the hate from people makes him seem like a much bigger Bama fan than a lot here. Hell he help hold the program together and a lot of y’all tear him down every chance. Is he a very good QB no, but he had 3 OC and again I’m more than ready for him to go but if you’re actually a fan let him leave on his own accord. No actual proof of him doing anything bad other than not living up to your desires. Snobby fans. Saban players should get to leave how they want after sticking around during transition and being loyal which a lot of y’all complain about players not being anymore but then also hate for staying, just crazy.

But he single handedly destroyed Bama’s program as the LANK mafia mob boss. He should be deported.

As @BamaMoon said if he decides to play he should get to play. I’d like to see another QB but I don’t think that’s happening.

Also, this is, what, the third time Bama’s played Michigan in the Outback Bowl?

No player has a right to play. That mentality is destroying America.

I think we both feel similarly about JM's play on the field, but, like it or not, he's been the starter and if he desires to play I think he should get to play. If not, it would seem he's being punished or pushed out.

While I"d love to see more 2025 players play in this game, it is still 2024 and, whether I like JM as QB or not, it's still the year he's on the team.

What I could hope is that he'd get a half and then TS would get the second half....not matter the score!

That's the second worst news I've heard today.

I was planing to watch, but if we are not turning the page I probably won't.
Seems there was a time not so long ago here on TideFans, when players who opt-out of post season play were rebuked and considered selfish and disloyal to the team. Amazing how viewpoints on this issue have flip-flopped.
