The Citrus Bowl selection committee will be thrilled. Print the T-shirts.

Since we have the 2 highest paid WRs, may as well pick up WRU as well.

Right after 2019 was probably not a good time to announce this.

They’re just stating the obvious. Should probably be DLU, WRU, and DBU as well. Maybe even RBU.

Clicks are down. Gotta generate some traffic for SI. But, if we had sucked as bad as y'all did last year I would certainly be here proclaiming this just like you

Maybe based on volume of linebackers taken in the draft, but certainly not much else.

I'd take UK linebackers taken in the draft as impacting the NFL with their skill more so that the volume of Alabama linebackers. :

Danny Trevathan
LB Chicago Bears

Avery Williamson
LB Tennessee Titans

Bud Dupree
LB Pittsburgh Steelers

Josh Forrest
LB Los Angeles Rams

Josh Allen
LB Jacksonville Jaguars

Years ago it was Penn State. (according to some media)

They didnt go back far enough. Lee Roy Jordan, Cornelius Bennett, EJ Junior, Derrick Thomas, Woodrow Lowe just to name a few.

This falls into the category of “Who Gives A shite!”

I’ll make sure to make a mental note of it.

As usual and consistent with my experience at tailgates in Tuscaloosa Bama is better than every team at every position in the two deep roster.. and every coaching slot .. similar to my experience with Georgia fans.

Reality is Saban is a great coach. He has built a program.. including the analyst group(a big advantage if used properly) that is second to none.

Most years Bama plays a pretty light schedule.

LSU and Georgia now have analysts equivalent to Bama. Both of those teams recruit at a similar level to Bama

Whatever. As for LSU Bama no longer knows all of our plays in advance. And the line of scrimmage talent deficit has been substantially closed. Btw LSU line of scrimmage talent in this years battle was mostly 3 and 4 stars. Against Bama 4 and 5 stars. So the talent evaluation or the coaching is showing something is off...

Which Bama linebacker is better than Devin White..or Patrick Queen or K Lavon Chaisson or Quon Alexander or Deon Jones. Bama has great talent but so do a lot of other teams

LSU linebackers in the nfl are so much better and it ain’t close. The only bama lb in the nfl now worth a damn is Hightower and he’s old. Try again please.
