It's funny that Alabama just had the most pro-bowlers of any school (6) and just had 10 players drafted - 4 in the first round, 3 in the second round, 2 in the third round, 1 in the fourth - and you are trying to push the narrative that NFL teams see Alabama players as damaged goods. Do you even realize how silly this makes you look?

I realize Allen and Foster dropped from projections for very specific reasons (Allen - arthritic shoulders / Foster - rotator cuff injury and problematic combine behavior) but you are ignoring the mountain of evidence that shows Alabama players are very much a wanted commodity in the NFL.

I need a ruling on something in regards to this.

Does Alabama get to claim Alvin Kamara seeing as he practiced with the team for a whole Summer and throughout the entire season?

Well if he went to Bama he might have played 15 games, gotten 400 carries
Well then your first post would have made some sense.

More first rounders, more draft picks, and more all pros than any other school. Flies in the face of all of your attention-seeking, brother.

So both Allen and Foster played injured this season?
And through the playoffs and championship game?

All we'll see is Bama continue to dominate recruiting, the SEC, the draft and the league. Right up until the day Saban hangs it up, and probably for several years after. Keep the faith, though, my man.

Wasn't the narrative immediately after Yaw Yaw took over that it was a relief to the players because Les' practices were too rigorous? So, which is it? Saban is a taskmaster so beyond the norm that his players' futures are wrecked? Or is Les and every other program the same as sinful Nick?

Yep. Considering what the NCAA has already turned a blind eye to under Saban's watch, ain't nothing happening to you guys while Emmert is in charge.

The want to have some sort of victory over Bama, even if it has to be a "haha your players weren't drafted as high as expected" victory, is amusing itt.

Something about that is pretty stupid. Wanna try to figure it out?

Definitely from ITAT. Dude got rustled by RollTide1987's thread on highlights from a game several years ago. Creates alter to post highlights from 2010 Iron Bowl. Nevermind RollTide1987 posts all game highlights, win or lose.

Actually not....
The "talk" started with Fournette and McCaffery not playing in bowl games....
Even though Fournette was injured and had a legitimate excuse...
Then the conversation continued about alabama players being used up....playing injured etc.
It's not going to stop...
Has nothing to do with LSU fans...
I think Nick Daban is the greatest college football coach of all time...if he retired today!
His accomplishments are already greater than Bear Bryant

I don't expect it to. A perceived win is a perceived win.

He quit on the team and the season...but I guess his higher draft position was worth it to LSU fans.
