He still won't go in the first round.

I've honestly been knocked out longer and have seen many teammates knocked out longer, so I'm not sure if you're trying to shame me or not. Sorry that I don't view being knocked out for a little bit as more of a tragedy. If it happens more than once, then I see it as a problem



Haha no, you just said you hadn't seen it and I figured you were under the impression it was a funny one.

I was just saying it really wasn't a funny one.

BUT YEA FVCK YOU AND SAINT YOU SADISTIC ASSHOLES

Tua going forward may end up better off than going in the first round to an organization like the Dolphins. With or without football, Tua is a blessed young man with a family who loves him. The kid will do great things with or without football and I have a feeling he'll be fine financially. But, the medical doctor's statement is very encouraging.

Yeah, even though I watched some of the second half (actually left the house at halftime and went to Hattie Bs - right down from St. Vincent’s), I have a hard time remembering a single play. I haven’t been able to get into any game either.

I really feel for the kid.

And, I’m getting the feeling this site is feeding trolls here to stir things up. Im guessing they have created fake people everywhere to do what many sites do these days - create more clicks and comments and traffic.

My eyes are open after today. It’s been awful - and disgusting.

I haven’t been this upset over an injury since Prothro. Maybe when that fatass Arkansas OL dived into Hightower’s knee

I'm certain there's a bot or two.
But, I was thoroughly disgusted with the lack of cleaning up the admins didn't do.
Yeah, free speech and all. And yeah, it's just a sports forum, but to let post after post go with tasteless humor was uncalled for by the LSU admins of this site.

Agree. I've been reading and posting on SEC message boards since 2003. Not sure I've ever seen anything like today from large groups of people.

I was genuinely furious at some of it, which is ridiculous because it's the internet, but it was something I'd never seen before.

Spent the last few minutes watching Tua’s commitment video and his ukulele singing. Almost brought me to tears knowing his time at UA is probably over. Best Alabama QB of all time. Wish he could’ve had a better, more fitting ending.

And frick every hot take Heisman Voter last year for not giving him the Heisman he deserved.

I was banned and I have no idea why. I have no doubt that we have some members here that just like to stir stuff up and aren't really fans.

Tua was a privilege to watch dawning Crimson colors.
Watching him throw dimes for TD's in mop up duty in 17, coming out of the bullpen to win it all, breaking UGA's hearts was a euphoric feeling.
Seeing him break countless single season QB records in 18 & persevere the best he could to the playoffs.
When he was on the field this year with all those playmakers around, it was the best offense we've ever had. I was at the game today & the confidence & rhythm he was in was something I'll miss.
His college playing days went by in the blink of an eye & we appreciate his commitment, contribution, & passion for our program.

Somebody should kick Saban in the nuts for not playing Tua earlier on.

It was hard to watch the rest of the game. Even Coach Saban looked distracted. He is a legitimately good person and it is awful to see. I hope the team can rally and dedicate the rest of the season to finishing for Tua.

A lot of folks blame Saban, but he views these young men as his kids. He invites them to his house, he has meetings with them and he disciplines them. You could tell that he was hurt during the interviews

I remember all of those injuries, but the one that stood out was Drakes injury at Ole Miss in 2014. I was so sick to my stomach because of the obvious injury. Yeah, they always want to blame Saban for anything negative. As a coach, you can’t be concerned about potential injuries. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to coach. It was a freak injury which means that it couldn’t be planned for or expected. Anyone you blames him is a fool and has no business being a coach.

They don’t care dude. It is all about driving business. I know for a fact that many sites today have zero morals - bots write outrageous dings in comment sections/forums and then argue with themselves with other names. A married couple at al.com were notorious for it.

We all know the big fake one at the Rant. I’m thinking it is more like a few dozen now - with Clemson, AU, and other Bama fan labels. No one is that cruel - unless this site is genuinely generating hate (which I never used to believe) now from the fringe whack jobs.

The level lately makes me think I’m a problem as well. Not to a hate-filled level like I’ve seen lately. My problem is just being there and giving them clicks.

I stopped other sites for the same reason. This is the only one I actually comment on because it was fun. Now, it makes me kinda sick.

I don’t think I’m long for this anymore. Gonna go pray on it this morning.

Agree SOG. I was disgusted seeing Marvin Constant sacrifice his body and career on the field against LSU back in the day but this hurts a little more.
