I'm not even sure why Carson Beck is getting the hype he is getting. He was a highly rated recruit, sure, but that doesn't really mean all that much.
I mean, it's the exact same trajectory as Mac Jones, so I get it. Highly regarded QB, though rated outside the top 200, has the benefit of multiple years learning the system, waited his turn behind a championship-winning QB, and everyone knows he's now the guy. I'd be confident as hell if I was a Georgia fan, especially looking at our QB situation. Not to mention the joke schedule sets up perfectly for someone to come in and ease themselves into the role.

That price is insane if true. Sling is only 35 per month for all of the channels.
ESPN has nothing left to offer except for live sports because they went political and lost the people like me that were willing to watch SportsCenter.

They also lost their OC, which is really big deal considering who that OC was.

Playing QB in the SEC isn't easy, doesn't matter if you are surrounded by talent. Championship winning QBs don't grow on trees.

And I'm not saying that Beck won't be good, but I'm not assuming that he will be.

My QB comparison doesn’t matter, but at this point, us old heads would compare Milroe, with Danny Woodson. All the talent in the world, but just complete the passes to the right guys. Simpson, reminds me of John David Phillips, so unless someone else steps up, we’re fricked lol


These may be the worst comparisons I’ve ever seen. Lol

Hopefully it doesn’t change the deal with ESPN+ being included with HULU, but I suspect it will. If it does I’ll just buy it for the months of football season.

They keep squeezing and many fans are just going to quit.

I already despise NIL/transfer era CFB, they keep running things like a Vegas casino trying to monetize every part of your experience and I’ll just find something else to do with my fall saturdays.


I'm getting very close. I keep thinking Saban will retire and something bama-like will happen to the basketball program. When that happens, I think I'll be done giving a shite.

I’d much rather pay 20 bucks just for football games than have to spend like 90 for YouTube TV 4K

I got invited to practice Saturday . I wasn’t going to go but I’ve decided too because this QB shite is bothering me.


What time is practice tomorrow? Since Saban said they started installing the game plan for MTSU today, I imagine you'll get a good sense of the personnel packages we'll be rolling out for an actual game.

It’s at 2:30 PM.

I’m hoping what I get to see shows the first team.

Only a few days ago Saban said that just because a guy starts doesn't mean that's the end of it. Everyone here expected Milroe to be QB1 for the first game.

Listened to JOX yesterday, and Wimp Sanderson said he was told that the coaches concern with Milroe is his "leaving the ball on the ground." Hopefully he'll put some emphasis on ball security moving forward.
