You see it in a lot of other things too. This idea of a Tabula Rosa is just so silly. ...

[quote]There have been many studies on the West African “speed gene” compared to whites and East Africans like Kenyans. I read years ago about a study of muscle samples from Kenyan distance runners and sprinters of West African descent (especially Caribbean nations) and there was a definite differen...

The only way you can auto qualify at this point is if your country stinks at track and they'll send anyone who hits the Olympic standard. I'm not sure if that's how Uganda does it or not. They don't have much history of sprinting but it would be unusual to say somebody is already on the Olympic team...

[quote]Tells me that the fanbase has picked up a lot of new followers since Oats got to town, because most of us still have a tear in our eye from finally seeing us make our first F4.
For a while there I was worried that I was going to be like an 85 year old Red Sox fan that died in 2003.[/quote]...

There's a lot of teams where it's final 4 or bust. Kansas, Duke, UNC, Gonzaga, Kentucky, UConn, etc. It just means that's the expectation every year. ...

Looks like we are now at a place where it's Final 4 or bust as a Bama fan every year for the foreseeable future. ...

Hitting the standard for the Olympics in track isn't the same as having qualified. In the US, for example, you could hit the 100m qualifying time of 10.00 but not make the team because the US only gets 3 athletes. ...

Any chance that Alabama would have interest in Michigan receiver Karmello English from phenix city. He entered the portal.[/quote]
He caught one pass last year. WR is one position I'm not that worried about. Adding Ryan Williams to the group will only make them better. Odom looks good to...

I'm not too worried about what happens. Oats has shown he knows what he's doing. We just need 1-2 guys that can get to the rim to finish or kickout for 3 and a bunch of 3 point shooters to go along with a rim protector. He'll put the right guys together....

It's so much worse in basketball than in football. The good news is that there aren't that many players to keep track of in basketball. Imagine getting 70 new players every year in football.
You really do have to root for the program and for the coaches. You can't get too attached to any players...

I don't think Rylan would be welcomed back at a 10 year reunion of Bama's 1st Final 4 team. Depends on what happens going forward, but right now, that guy has burned a bridge....
