A good fluffer makes it all happen.


I had a younger cousin that loved marshmallow fluff as a kid. After telling me, I told him that if he worked hard, he could get a job making it, and that it was a great job.

My aunt was really pissed at me after he told the rest of the family that he wanted to be a fluffer when he grew up.

They just need to let Barnett start, if he is as good as Coker is and he is just a freshman, I would let him start and just deal with the freshman mistakes. Over time throughout the season he will get better and will be capable of playing against elite competition. If Coker hasn't improved, I don't believe he ever will.


This is last year's version of the qb battle.

it does sound much like it but the difference between last years and this years QB competition is that Hurts has been consistent the whole time and has proven himself on more than one occasion to be capable enough to lead the team, but for what its worth I don't honestly care who gets the job as long as they do what their supposed to do.

Maybe.

I just thought BB would be the guy to beat, but after what I watched in Spring, the Hurt kid just showed so many tangibles you just can't teach.

Hayden Rettig 2.0. He'll be the backup at Kansas or something shortly.

Isn't Bama starting a freshman at tackle? If so, that may give more incentive to develop Hurts sooner rather than later. A mobile QB cures a world ills when it comes OL performance.

Actually, all of the Bama qb's have speed, and are considered dual threats. It does seem that Hurts is more willing to tuck and run than the others. Hurts is also the most accurate with the deep ball. I bet we both have noticed a spike in deep throws since the Kiffen hire. I believe Bateman starts against USC, but he will be on a short leash.

it seems there may be a lot more to his illness last year. He's had two blood transfusions since enrolling.


I doubt its his illness. Probably distracted after getting engaged.
