37 days until Bama's 1st game

LOL. I'm going.

Man its going to be at 11 in early Sept. Gonna be 1000 degrees lol

I’ll be there. Don’t understand how anyone can’t get excited for fall Saturdays. Great time to be with the fam and enjoy Tuscaloosa.

East Carolina is a sneaky good G5

We'll see. They had a good year last year. Honestly a huge turnaround for them with new HC in first full year.

But, they lost a lot of production. 36 players left the program (25 transfers portal and 11 x graduation/NFL opportunities). Overall, they lost
42% of their total production (ranking 110th out of 138 FBS teams).

They lost 16 players from their 2-deep.
- QB1 and 2
- RB 1
- Top 2 WRs + 1 key backup
- TE1
- 2 x starters on OL
- 3 x DL starters
- 1 x starting LB
- 3 x starters in secondary

They did bring in 22 transfers, but they are looking at a QB battle with two transfers heading into fall camp. They got help at OL and RB and WR. And, 6 x secondary players, which basically retools the back half of the offense

Add in an 11 AM, hot Sept kickoff and the deck does look stacked against them at Tuscaloosa.

For as much as I hate the roster turbulence of CFB for P4. It really hurts G5 more. If a player or team have a good year, the HC may as well expect a transfer exodus, as his players look to move up and get paid.

I will be enjoying it in my air conditioned den for sure!

That’s what I was thinking.

Can’t believe another season is almost here, nothing like it was during the heart of the Saban-era though. I still need to travel to BDS one day. Also got my toes painted crimson!
