So OSU has a bye week the weekend of Bama/Tennessee and my dad just called me about going to any game this year.

This seems to be a classic game to attend. 3rd Saturday in October and all. Who goes to games on this recruiting board?

I'll be honest, I don't watch every kid's highlights even though I link them for everyone we offer.

I just watched all 8:13 of Bolden's Junior film and now know why he is so polarizing over on your board.

The kid is flat out electric. He can run. He can catch. He can throw.

He looks like Christian McCaffrey with the ball.

I really hope we land him tomorrow regardless of who it would push out of the class on the offensive side of the ball.

I used to before work moved me 2,500 miles away.

I am, however, hoping to hear something soon about getting a transfer back down to Montgomery.

Funny story (maybe horror story is more appropriate) regarding my time in Columbus, MS, and Boise, ID.

I was stationed in Columbus from 2009 to 2013 so these were the outcomes of Alabama's seasons while I was there:

2009 - National Champions
2010 - Capital One Bowl Champions
2011 - National Champions
2012 - National Champions

We left Mississippi for Idaho after Labor Day weekend in 2013. Here is what Alabama has done since I've been up here:

2013 - Kick Six
2014 - Sugar Bowl loss
2015 - National Champions (however I was out of the country for the entire season, not in Idaho)
2016 - National Championship Game loss

Me being in Idaho is not good for the Crimson Tide.

What the hell do we have to do to get you back in Columbus?

I don't want to go back to Columbus but I'm hoping a move to Montgomery will reverse this curse.

I wouldn't be able to move until November, but I'd be out of here for the playoffs.

The bigger melt will come if Bolden actually turns out to be a great player in college.

Another note on Bolden from BOL is that Saban supposedly loves him.

Personally I think he's the best back in LA and should be a high 4*. He's a true all purpose back. Could run between tackles, split out wide in the slot or even be a lead blocker. Always been confused why not high priority for LSU. Seems like a great fit for Canada's scheme

Fwiw I watched his tape like 2 months ago so not trying to suck up lol. I was curious about the arguing over him on LSURB and after watching tape was confused why there was any debate. Dude is a stud

Trey Dean commits to Tennessee. He was trending Alabama more than a week ago. Some people need crystal ball privileges taken away.

Bone had said we needed to miss on other targets to take Dean. This was before and during that run on Crystal Balls.

It's more of a complaint about the run on CB predictions with both Dean and Wood-Anderson that may have not been warranted at all.

Raheem Falkins transferred to Nicholls State, was wondering what happened to him. Guess the LSU people were right about him.

I am not sure that any DB other than Surtain, Campbell, Jobe, or Nadab Joseph could commit right now. Maybe Kelvin Joseph.

I've been in for 8 years tomorrow.
The Air Force can be great or terrible. You need to know what you want to get out of it before going in and have an idea of what kind of career field you want to go into. I went in to get the GI Bill and now I have 1 year left of college and now I'm trying to become an officer. It really all just depends on what you want. Why are looking to join?

That's a bad man. I just want to be a maintenance officer.
