If this was posted in any of the other threads besides the basketball one then all the shitkicking trailer dwellers would have commentary on this. Thankfully they don’t visit the basketball thread for “reasons”

My favorite part of those threads is the "pastors" who go unhinged... That's the chef's kiss.

Amazing how many posters on here have God, pastor, lord, in there name and represent him like the devil.

True and how many of them are posting at 11 am on a Sunday morning. That said im a heavily flawed individual when it comes to faith, so I don't have any room to cast stones... But I still do.

Are you an a-hole to people based exclusively on things they do that don't involve you or affect your life in any way? If so you're way ahead of 99% of the people in this country who believe themselves to be men or women "of faith", a fact which they reliably use to excuse being mean, hateful pieces of shite to their fellow man.

Just give Nate half the football budget and let him win a few nattys.

We're experiencing the best stretch in Alabama basketball history. I don't think anyone can predict the future here, but we really don't know if Oats will coach here for his entire career. I wish we would give him an increase in the NIL budget that would compete with the blue-blood programs and really try to get a title while he's still in town.

In the last four years, we've had a FF appearance, two E8s, and four S16s...guys like Noah Williamson last year should not be seeing the floor. Now is the time to invest more in the program, not be forced to be cheap and cut corners with some of the roster spots.

Absolutely. Oats gets five times out of his NIL than DeBoer does. Should be a no brainer.

The iron is definitely hot and Oats is this close with a serviceable budget, but not a great one apparently. It makes good sense to give him his chance... As I type this im looking at our 5 star espn front page headline being removed and replaced by Will Wade signing the nations #1 five star Center and LSU officially moving into 1st place on the recruiting trail... How the F is that possible that this guy is pulling this off ??? Give Oats the budget to run this guy off again!

Heading to Tuscaloosa the next couple of Fridays watching Bama play in person. My BIL has season tickets and can't make it. Hopefully everyone is 100%.

You’ll have fun with it?

Cool rushball. Have fun

My experience has been dramatically different than yours, though I agree that many who profess to know the Lord fall short in this area. But that criticism has often been leveled with little acknowledgement of the sacrifices many genuine believers have made from both the US and Europe on behalf of those who “look nothing like them”. Many I know and have known over the years.

Many were gifted people who left or could have had very prestigious and lucrative careers but along with others they left such comforts to live in primitive housing or thatched huts. Always in societies totally foreign to anything they had experienced - in my experience mostly Africa and South and Central America and India. This to proclaim the simple gospel of the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ crucified, or in some cases to provide support to those who were more directly involved, though they also would be directly involved as any normal believer would, but it isn’t their primary role.

There have been many thousands over the last 2 or 3 centuries, especially from Great Britain, the US and Scandinavia. (Though GB is now an apostate nation and has been for decades, as well as all of Europe. We, the US, are usually about 50 years behind but are catching up quickly.)

These believers have been a wonderful expression of the true love of God. And they have been a living example that all are on universal ground, seeing that all are sinners and all in desperate need of a Savior. And He is the same Savior for all. “There is one name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved”. The context makes it clear that it is Jesus Christ. It’s the same message to a pygmy living in the dense jungles of the Congo or the King of Siam (Thailand prior to 1939), or to be perfectly clear, an Anglo Saxon President of the US.

These “people of faith” should be acknowledged too.

Frankly, though the numbers supposedly range from 45% to 65%, as those who know the Lord in the US, IMO, it’s probably closer to 2-4%, maybe on the low side, though i hope I’m wrong.
