Would have to disagree. If the defense is playing well and keeping the score low, but Milroe looks rattled or just stinks it up for the first half like the Texas game, I'd be more than happy to see Simpson roll out there to start the third quarter. I don't think many on here would think the game was already over if that happened either.
In your scenario I could see it. I just suspect he only gets pulled if he’s dug a hole for the backup.

Would rather see Lonegran than Simpson.

Me, too.
Lonergan, in the little we've seen him, has not seemed overwhelmed. I'd ride with him.

AM players are talking a lot of shite. I hope our players dial this shite in put them down.

Ainias Smith, who did not play against Alabama last season because of injury, was asked about his feelings toward Saban during his Monday news conference.
"I feel like this game is always more personal, envery time I play them," Smith said. "I don't know -- what had happened, that's in the past now. I'm not able to control it, but every time I do look on that sideline, I do think about what had happened. I definitely be thinking about it. So it's more personal, for sure."
Ainias Smith, who was a sophomore in high school at the time, issued a statement in 2016 about Saban. “I respected coach Saban, but it’s hard to have respect for what he’s done to my brother and has never apologized for how he was treated,” Ainias Smith’s statement said. “He didn’t even care if he had food or money to eat during those weeks or if he was working out to stay in shape to possibly return to the team. This entire situation has made me have trust issues with coaches because the way coach Saban talked to us while he was at my house, and it made me think that everything was going to be all good. But now he has showed me another side that I didn’t think I would see out of him.”
On Monday, Ainias Smith compared Alabama's current team -- which is ranked No. 11 in the Associated Press poll -- with the teams his brother played on almost a decade ago from 2013-15.
"I kind of know what Nick Saban expects from his offense, from his defensive side," Smith said. "I'm not trying to be cocky or nothing, but his class -- my brother's class, they was nice. They was real nice. No disrespect to Alabama right now, but them boys was always [No.] 1, 2 -- you know what I'm saying? Like, it was no questions. Right now, with the rankings, I ugess you could say -- I ain't even gonna say that.
"But at the same time, I know what Nick Saban wants, and we're gonna mess that up. You know what I'm saying? If them boys don't got no momentum for real, we're gonna have to take that away, immediately, for sure."

Maurice Smith

Oh ok. I do remember that now

Maurice smith, he played db and tried to go to Georgia with Kirby and Saban wouldn't let him transfer without sitting out a year because it was inside the sec. Eventually he gave in but only because of the backlash. His little bro is still mad.lol

On Friday, June 17, I arrived at the athletic facility locker room to find my locker cleaned out and all of my personal belongings in the trash (photo attached) underneath trash. These personal items included my family photos, written goals, inspirational and sentimental items memorializing my deceased former friend, roommate and teammate, Altee Tenpenny, and items of personal value from my former teammates.
This is what used to happen if you tried to transfer, to an sec foe no less.
Now with NIL dudes transfer like they change clothes and I bet the players don't think too much of it.

If I remember right, it was the murky waters right before the transfer portal started.
The ncaa was granting some transfers but not others.

yeah, it’s crazy how things have changed in such a relatively short time.

By all means, run off at the mouth, young man. Pretty much NO coach was allowing players to transfer to other SEC schools without sitting out a year at that point in time, so to call out Coach Saban for that isn't accurate.

Did anyone see the stat comparison posted on tRant: Aggies vs Crimson Tide - Stat Comparison
I'm pretty surprised that based on stats, both formulas predict a Bama win

It didn't have anything to do with a coach - it was an rule. It is no longer a rule, therefore, almost no coach sits transfer players who are better than what is currently on the roster. I don't understand your challenge to what was said

Did anyone else keep saying to themselves "No I don't know what you're saying" at least 10 times during that tirade? I completely forgot about Maurice Smith and I'm sure as hell Saban doesn't remember or even care about something that happened 7 or 8 years ago. He sounds like a bitter woman that holds a grudge that really in the end has nothing to do with him
