If Bama trades out Roberts and Bessent to Auburn for Tabor and Humphrey along with Hampton, then I hope Bama gave AU three future first round picks too. LOL
Bama would be the winner there in a BIG way imo.

Let me explain. Most traditions in College football are pregame. Script Ohio, touching Howard's Rock, Osceola's spear, War Eagle's flight etc....

Sure, but their cheers are good. That's the difference.

[quote]I love this in depth professional analysis. Morris showed in Aday he was the 2nd best QB. He was a Chris Black drop away from winning the game. He has a tremendous arm and made good decisions. As to system fit I can not truly say, but I would rather have him than Sims.

And our co...

[quote]That wasn't my argument. My argument was with the notion that Sims is our second best QB on the roster. Our second best QB is redshirting this year be it Cooper or Del Rio. [/quote]
I don't disagree with that. You quoting a post talking about the Sims/Morris dynamic seemed to suggest you...

[quote]Sims may be better but this statement is not entirely true. In 2009 Star Jackson got the backup snaps even though McCarron would have replaced McElroy if he had gotten injured. Coach Saban almost put McCarron in against LSU that year. If McElroy couldn't have played against Texas it would hav...

Our stand songs do very little to get the crowd fired up.
I mean, outside of the fight song and Rammer Jammer, flipping "Bammy Bound" is probably our best song for crowd participation.
Georgia with "Go Georgia Bulldogs", LSU with "Chinese Bandits" after third down stops, "Hold that Tiger," and...

When it comes to getting the crowd involved in the game, which to me is the primary point of a band, the MDB lacks majorly. I'd put it way behind LSU, UGA, AU, and TAMU's. Tennessee's is probably better in the stands, but I agree with prior posters that when you do the same stupid circle drill wi...

And he still looked horrible.
Sims was terrible on ADay, but Saban said that was totally different than the improvement he had shown in practice.
Morris sucks in ADay, in scrimmages, and at regular p...

He sucks.
There's a reason why he only had one offer from an in-state program, that being a terrible North Texas program at the time, despite playing on a highly visible high school power.
June Jones, who's actually very good at evaluating QBs, wouldn't even touch him at SMU.
He, like ...
