Disagree…at first it was Marrones fault, then it was Eric Wolford’s fault, now it was Kapilovics fault…at some point you gotta look somewhere other than who is coaching them.
The S&C is responsible for the toughness, attitude, and discipline of the team… all have dropped off significantly since Ballou took over.

The last time Doug Marrone has done good work in coaching is longer ago than the birth of some current players on our roster.
Wolford was probably average but the best of the bunch.
Kapolivic was a bad hire from the outset. Guy never accomplished anything suggesting he was ready to coach OL at UA. Wolford did some good work at Kentucky at least.

If they mean 6 weeks from surgery, that allegedly has happened, then that means end of September best case scenario and more than likely October.

He'll be back for the UGA game. It's the exact same situation as Jam last year. Hopefully he can have a similar performance against UGA as Jam did. Jam wasn't great all season, but he came up big in that game.

Speaking of the UGA game, I got a little too tipsy last night and bought my wife and myself tickets to see Tosh.0 in Montgomery on October 10th.
I woke up this morning and realized it's the night of the Georgia game.

2 years ago my wife got us tickets to some music festival in Huntsville watching bands that were popular 20 years ago and it rained like hell. Like rained so much it ruined the field and they had to cancel day 2.
So I’m sitting in the rain, CAKED in mud, listening to fricking Shinedown and TLC with my phone turned off so no one could text me about the game.
Then I get back to the hotel and wash all the mud off me and start watching the game at midnight. It’s 2am and Georgia scores to go up and R Williams catches that crazy arse spinning dirty bird touchdown and I can’t scream or anything.
Anyway, I say all that to say I feel for you. Going to be tough missing the game to hear Tosh do his Kiffin impression and cargo shorts bit

The Ballou complaint just comes off as lazy tbh.
They're getting subpar S&C coaching but they're testing fine at the combine, getting drafted highly, and starting at the next level as rookies? They're not getting a single quote about S&C?
Then you tack on Ballou has been around for a decade+ and we didn't complain about him then

Apparently Luke Metz has overtaken QB Reese and T Brown is gonna make moves too.

I think people hate Ballou because he reminds them of Caillou and I can’t fault them for that.

Been hearing good stuff on Metz since the spring. Anybody know much about his pedigree?
Reese was getting praise too so if Metz has beaten him out for a spot then he must be doing very well.

This gave me a nice morning chuckle. Well done.

Was a 4 star recruit according to Rivals and 247 out of Mill Creek HS in Atlanta. Had 10 TFL, 6 sacks, 2 FF and an INT as a senior. Had offers from Bama, Michigan, UGA , OU and LSU.
I was impressed with him during A Day. Very smart, physical guy. From what I've read, he really knows the defense and has a firm understanding of what everyone is supposed to be doing out there.
I like QB Reese too but Metz is about 5 inches taller and has about 25 lbs more weight on him.

I remember one old camp LB battle that had an unheralded 3* star win a starting job. Kid came from a small school but impressed everyone with his overall ability.
His name was Demeco Ryans. And in the following offseason UA was making commercials with him. "This is Alabama football!!

Seems like 3 from Florida is way lower than it used to be.

Fraudchonie was reportedly tipped off late about him by a person that owned a BAMA football site.
Frauds team had his measurements all screwed up and thought he was too small.
Ryans came back years later when Mal Moore was still AD and gifted the Univ something like $300K to start a specific scholly fund.
