Haven’t heard either just saw a quote from Oats who said “hopefully not out long “ or something along those lines . Rough when all our injuries are to our big guys Was thinking last night you just don’t usually see guys getting this banged up in basketball . Just our luck I guess

. It's the contempt and insults leveled at players primarily and occasionally Coach Oats.


Saying a particular player is playing like shite or did something stupid isn't an insult. You seem to be under the impression that it isn't OK to comment on a player or team's performance because they're playing hard. The only negative commentary about Herb last night was that he was playing like shite because he's hurt and he needs to rest. If you have a problem with that kind of discussion then you need to reevaluate things. Aside from a handful of bandwagon Gumps who randomly pop in during games but only care about basketball because they see that we are ranked, the board's resident moron who wanted to fire Saban, keep Avery, and thinks we should only hang banners for national championships is the only person in this thread who throws personal insults towards players. Everything else is purely a basketball discussion.

Pretty soon we are going to be playing walk-ons with this injury bullshite. Maybe it is just random luck but I’m beginning to get suspicious. Nobody else is having this kind of injury string that Alabama has had for 2 seasons now. Maybe Nate needs to take a look at his S&C guy. Maybe it has nothing to do with him. It’s just odd. This ain’t football but we’re banged up like it is. I definitely hope Oats is taking advantage of Dr. Rhea and Ballou being right there.

This reminds me of Saban. I’m glad that they go over things like this

Last season, I didn’t take injuries as an excuse, because we never had proven that we could play, even when healthy. This season, you can tell that injuries have had a dramatic effect on things. Still sucks to see guys out of control and making stupid arse decisions though

Mike Snowden is awesome at his job. Our guys are in better shape now than they've ever been. Their conditioning is through the roof. Injuries are just part of the game.

And Saban isn't lending out Rhea and Ballou when they have offseason stuff they are focused on.
