[quote]You cant be serious. We had 3 current NFL starting QBs in the same room that all won titles at Bama. Tua - Mac - Hurts All we got now is a couple of fellas with zero playoff wins much less titles[/quote]
The 2018 top 3 QBs all were drafted in the first round too. I don’t think Milroe...

Next year this field would be 4 SEC, 2 ACC, 1 Big Ten, 1 Big-12. Wild. ...

I think this has been a problem throughout the season for her. She was pitching in high school games last year after all. The innings management has gotten her to this point with her rise ball still having good mov...

Truth be told, I like Garrett Nussmeier. He's got all the qualities to be a great college quarterback. As long as they get good play from their WRs, I imagine he'll be a real threat to win conference OPotY. ...

I’ll tell you, some departments at UA would like to pay more for students with particular skills but always get blocked by HR because other departments pitch a fit. As if a student engineering position applicant was in the same job pool as housing looking for an after hours desk assistant.

re: Florida State AD - ESPN knew Florida State wasn’t in
Posted by Diego Ricardo on 5/22/24 at 4:25 pm
I don't see why ESPN knowing is a big deal. The CFP committee probably had the field selected before they left the building on Saturday. They probably only use Sunday morning to setup the rest of the top 25 to maximize the matchups for NY6. ...

Yeah, I feel like all the guys who contributed to the 2024 Final Four team are legends. Nobody else has done it here. Mark Sears was the best player on that team, so he certainly going down as one of the best Alabama basketball players ever....

My point was Ty not ready for primetime was infinitely better than the now lacrosse player getting his big shot as a starter.
Not a slight of Ty.

I still think they should draft PG regardless of what they do with Ball. I just don't think they're going to deal him because his contract is very pricy with 5 years left on the deal. He's not a UFA until 2029-2030 offseason. A team is only trading for him if they think he can anchor their franchise...

Naked pay-for-play captured live in 4K is still well within the NCAA's rights to punish. This is different than the Nico case in some important ways. Additionally, the athlete in question...

[quote]The timing is likely because of Tennessee's lawsuit.
Prior to that suit, it was against NCAA rules to pay players to attend your school. If Rashada had brought the suit then, he would have lost his eligibility to play.
Now that the courts have deemed pay to play to be allowed, Rashada c...

On the surface, I'd agree with this but causing an unexpected termination and NCAA sanctions to further immiserate your biggest rival simply cannot be avoided. ...
