The fans arent the problem neither is it the talent in state . Winning fixes both of those .I remember going to packed houses nearly every game in the early part of this decade .Gottfried was recruiting and coaching his arse off before he quit on us. If we put a good product on the floor the fans will eventually come.

If Grant doesnt do something about the offense and recruit better he needs to go .Same ol shite since hes been here .
He has to find away tp get all the top instate talent .Theres enough talent in this state to win especially if you can add an occasional out of state blue chipper.

We just need to find the right guy. I like everyone else thought Grant was that guy and its becoming evident hes not .I would love to have Pearl hes a helluva caoch and gets it done.If this year goes like I think it will hopefully we will make that change

-Tell the players several hours before the game, no offensive plays will be called. Play offense the same way you do on the blacktop or at the rec. No restrictions, no accountability for poor decisions, etc. Have fun, play hard and compete.

This is not the best way to coach a CBB team but at this point with this team/coaches, I truly believe it improves the offense and the team overall.




-Going forward, I have the same reservation about AG that I've always had, so nothing really new there.


- I don;t buy into the talk of Bama not being able to compete with big name programs, now or in the future. CBB is the same as CFB, it's all about coaching and even more of a factor in CBB.
Put a great coach at any middle-road program and give him support, he will win big.

Under no circumstance should we be a 9 point favorite against any team the way we're playing right now.

If there ever was a must win for Us it's this Tulane game. I'm still hungover from that pathetic Mercer debacle. We better get our shat together quick against Tulane and Oakland because Our conference schedule is pretty front heavy. We could very well start out 0-6 in conference play.....

Just checked, the Bama WBB team just destroyed their opposition to reach a 9-3 mark.... They might have a better record than the men at the end of the calendar year for the first time in eons

I was having a really nice Sunday, not sure why I'm intentionally trying to ruin it by watching us play basketball.

shot clock violation means we can set up our press - I feel better now.

Same here. I don't know why I put myself through this kind of misery. If we lose this game I'm done until Grant is fired.

I think Jacobs just took the first charge of his career.

For some reason ESPN3 won't open the game up for me. I click on it and nothing?

Did the dumb female announcer just refer to Engstrom as an offensive threat?

This team is such a fricking abortion.

I'm almost baffled by how many stupid things this woman has said about our team.

"I'm really not used to seeing Alabama play this deliberate kind of offense." I just, what?

I'm not going to quote her but I'm pretty sure she just said that we don't have a threat in the post now that Carl is gone.

When did Rivals or Scout or whoever start keeping track of basketball recruits? If I have time to waste I want to see if there has ever been a worse 5* player (who made it onto a college campus) than Pollard. If there has been, it must have been a kid who thugged it up and went to prison/got kicked off the team.

He's so timid about everything, but when he does actually do something, it's typically a turnover.

Definitely. He's a tweener with a bad body, but that doesn't mean he has to play like a shite head all the time. The guy is just fricking pitiful. He acts like he didn't start playing basketball until about 4 or 5 months ago.
