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

9-3 10-2 team going forward.
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.

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.
