[quote] Average college football game is 3-4 hours. Times about 14 a year. I don’t know how old you are so let’s say you’ve been watching Alabama football for 20 years. That’s about 980 hours. If you make $8 an hour that’s about 8 grand.[/quote] Eight grand over twenty years? Billionaire grin...

[quote]league like that would be a major boon to the south by allowing them to focus their resources where they’re best served while building an elite academic brand globally.[/quote] Totally separate budgets....

[quote]They held down a high-powered OU offense led by a Heisman winner to help build a 28-0 lead.[/quote] That was a great start but wound up as not a great overall game....

They definitely win in 2016 and 2021 with fewer injuries. The others I don't personally feel that injuries were the main problem. The headlining injury in 2022 was to Young but he was still carrying that team despite it. The worst problem that year and really in 2019 too was whatever traumatic brain...

[quote]Really wished that Lane Kiffin could have kept his shite together for another week and guided Alabama's offense with the feel he'd developed over the back half of the season. Sark was a good playcaller for us but I don't think he really understood how to run what Kiffin was doing to maximize H...

[quote]Joab Thomas was the real culprit in not hiring Bobby Bowen. He did not understand the football culture at Alabama and did not care[/quote] Thomas thought Alabama needed to win by running the program in a moral way. Sounds good on paper until you realize his ideal model for this was Penn St...

Something that doesn't get talked about enough is how even with Cade Foster putting on the kind of performance only he could, Bama easily would have won that Auburn game if they played Derrick Henry rather than Yeldon. It is extremely clear in retrospect that Henry should have been a day one starter...

[quote]There were a lot of bad snaps today[/quote] There were too many, but what count as bad snaps yesterday would've gone on McLaughlin's highlight reel. Also they will not be playing on completely dead grass like that again this season. That might have had some effect....

Alexander should have had back to back rushing titles those years. He was one yard short in 2004 and Mike Holmgren simply would not give him a carry. Usually in the NFL if a player is close to a record like that, they just give him the ball every single play until he gets it. It was a major controve...

[quote]If the TV market is still what you are after you have to target Duke, UNC and the biggest prize ND. I doubt they would all be interested.[/quote] I think the TV market logic has completely changed in the steaming era....
