So, you're saying all of the recruiting services have it wrong about all of our RBs and they're all busts. Riiiiiiiight.

Just call it as I see it!


Probably 1/2 of the SEC Champs over the next 10 will be 10-2

2009-15 was a different era.

Go back and look at the Bama teams from 2009-2015. They were monsters!


That was the past. Come to the future. The landscape has changed and that is why Coach got out. You can no longer stack 5 stars at every position. The rules have changed. Much like the rules changed to 85 scholarships to keep Bear from having 150 "starters" on the team in order to keep them away from other teams. We have to adapt. 9-3 or 10-2 makes the playoff. That is the goal and winning it every once in a while. What else can you ask for? a 1979-1992 stretch? a 1992-2009 stretch? I remember those days. We have it good......

The film guy was not impressed. Particularly the running backs were nothing special.

Yes they are garbage and unreliable. The recruiting services gave Bama recruits the Bama "bump" during the Saban years. Now that Saban is gone, look for the opposite to happen. Bama players will be rated lower than other prospects. Just look how they rated players Bama picked up in the portal. According to recruiting services, they are all garbage.

You clearly don't realize how crazy that sounds.

We had an elite Running Back but lost him to Texas. Hopefully someone emerges.

We won't have a chance to improve to acceptable levels for me until, 'soft and finesse' Deboer is replaced. It take some people longer to accept that than others. I'm not happy about it because I wanted him to be successful, but he is not the guy for the job.

If we have a 1000 yd rusher, will you have the balls to come back and admit you were wrong? I doubt it. Champ.

Sure, I don't mind saying when I'm wrong.

Let's remind some of y'all here what I've been right about:

- Milroe will not be a top draft pick, not even a first round pick and probably not a second-round pick.
- LOL at this one, Slade Bolden will not be drafted.
- Jam Miller is an average RB (stated amongst all the preseason hype from y'all on this forum).
- Jo Jo Earle is not that talented.

What I will probably be right about it:
- Ty Simpson will NOT be drafted in the 1st Round (No matter what his Daddy says).
- Keelon Russell will be the starting QB and will be one of the top QB's in the nation, Texas, Texas A&M and Ohio State will tamper and all offer him insane amounts of money to leave Bama for 2027.

I don’t know of anyone other than Y Star that thought Milroe would be a 1st round or even second round pick. Amazing athlete but just not bright.

Slade Bolden? Again, I don’t recall anyone thinking he would even be drafted. I thought he’d be a UFA, which he was.

Saying Ty won’t be a first round pick isn’t all that much of a stretch but there are some “experts” who predict him to go in first. Even if he’s not in the first, he’ll go very early in the second (most likely). Let’s hope he doesn’t go to the Jets (like the Browns), where careers go to die.

I had multiple people on this site downvote and get mad because of both.

There were at most two people on here who defended Milroe until the very end, Y Star and some other dude (don’t recall the name). Anyone who dissed Milroe, Y Star acted like you had just called his mother a whore. Dude would become unglued.

I enjoy gathering down votes. It just means the truth is upsetting the sensitive sunshine pumpers. I'd rather live in balanced reality.

You're unhinged and are desperate for my attention.

I actually think Ty goes in the first round and mainly because it’s a thin QB class.
