Starts at 1 ct. Someone find a way to watch the game cause I don't want to rely on twitter updates.

bama loses by 125..watched a 5 min. practice video and the big Swede was just as brain dead as before his injury..He has no hustle when it comes to fighting for rebounds. Unless something drastically happens in the games he will get a few rebounds a game. a block shot a game. and 2-3 points. that won't cut it if he is our starting center,

frick, give him some time to get back into the hang of it. He's coming off a torn ACL.

Are you talking about the practice scrimmage video? How did you get that from that video?

You really need to step back from the ledge. You're a bigger buzz kill than Buzz Killington.

I got my time from Passink. I assume he was wrong.

With that being said, someone has 6 minutes to find a link.

Never mind. Passink was right. The game is at 1

@AlabamaMBB: We are on the way to our first game vs. Meppel Red Giants. We will be doing live tweeting during the game. Tipoff is set for 1 p.m. CDT....

been watching him for 3 years now and he looks no different..it did not take a rocket scientist in year 4 to realize Mike Shula still had the deer in the head lights look. I saw that in the few short minutes of the video..And yes I hope I am wrong because we won't be a 500 team in the SEC if he does not play big...Dont shoot me down because i have an opinion that differs from yours nellie

We have really been exposed when playing teams with talent the last three years. Our guys can't get out of their own way.

Carl has improved significantly since his freshman year. He isn't coordinated enough to ever be a double-double guy, but he was actually playing decently prior to hurting his knee last season.

Are you kidding me?

Again if you are talking about the practice scrimmage video, it doesn't show anything to criticize Engstrom for. The only notable footage of Engstrom was when he did a very nice up-and-under reverse.

He's improved a ton since he's been here. He had a lot of trouble even catching the ball when he got there.

Exactly. He's not good but he was definitely helping us last year. We need him back at the form.

@AlabamaMBB: We made it to Meppel. Pregame warm-ups going on right now. Very small gym, maybe seats around 1,000 fans. We are about 35 mins from tipoff.

if you call a couple of points about 6 rebounds a game as major improvement then so be it.

No one's saying he's an all star, but he was playing solid basketball before he got hurt.

i will agree with that but he is far from what a 7 footer in the SEC needs to be if you want to have success. and 20 wins per seasons an not making the dance and winning a game or two does not cut it in year 5 of Grant's tenure
