It is a shame that he thinks some fans hated him. But he can take solace in the fact that no one hates him as much as everyone here hates you.

Dear CaptDalton, SpaceCadet....I just saw your recent orders for a mission to Pluto --- never to return. Good luck.

Did I understand him right? Iowa reached out in season when he was struggling?

Are there really no rules regarding tampering? Seems like he confessed to it in that interview


I was curious about that as well and did some casual digging. Iowa's Recruiting Coordinator tweeted during the early part of the season that he's a good player and man and that Bama fans need to loosen up on him. He's also high school teammates and friends with a safety on Iowa's team and they had been talking about him transferring.

Doesn't look any better or worse than what goes on at every program these days.

P.S.-- mentions the hate he received from Bama fans at the end




He mentions the hate he received from Iowa fans for leaving for less money in the first place.

The guy couldn't pass block a paraplegic!
Toward the end of the year his run blocking got a little better, but he had the slowest feet in the conference, by far!
Like I said, he'll fit in well with Iowa's dynamic offensive scheme!




He started all 14 games for you as a true freshman this year, but yeah, you're the Alabama version of Uncle Rico who lasted three days as a walkon at East Miss JC

Yes, he started all 14 games. As a true freshman.


But he's not cutting the mustard for the Uncle Rico Gumps

And that goes directly to Alabama's main problem last year! There was no adequate replacement. You've got to go back a way to find a poorer Alabama Oline than last year's was. Early NFL departures, transfers, and a couple of recruits that just haven't panned out put the rest of Alabama's offense in a helluva bind. This information is common knowledge around the conference.

He is a big, strong kid with HUGE upside.

Currently, he is also a very slow kid who allowed a ton of faster guys to blow right by him unabated into the backfield, so no, he had zero business starting for Bama (or any school in the top 1/3 of the SEC) yet. We were desperate at LT.

He will be the best LT in CFB in 2 years, but he's not close to that yet.

So your right tackle was a better athlete, but Saban left Proctor at LT anyway? And so this is more evidence that Uncle Rico Gumps knew more about football than Saban?

The number of Bama fans angry at Proctor is very small. The anger is reserved for the guys like Bond who were party to tampering. We knew Proctor was homesick all season. NIL had nothing to do with him leaving and almost none of us are upset about it. You guys are trolling about Proctor, or you haven't paid attention. Bring up bond, and I'll agree with you. People have been nasty about him, and honestly, he earned it.

Yes. I suspect that it's because Milroe doesn't have enough arm control yet to be any good when he has to run for his life to the left.

If he's running, it needs to be to the right. Surprised the whole conference couldn't figure out that he couldn't throw from that side. Especially the guys like Kirby who are supposed to be good at that sort of thing.

So you don't understand the question?

Milroe is right-handed.

Bond? The guy who didn’t catch the football? Y’all should have tried hard to keep him. If not for his incredible acting skills and Bamas deal with the refs that SEC trophy would be in Athens.
