Bama is about to enter fall camp and to my knowledge is still 3 over the 85 limit. What is the date every team has to be at the 85 limit?

Poll Qustion:
Who will be the bama players that break some arbitrary team rule that gets them kicked off the team in the coming days to free up a scholarship for an incoming freshman?




This just in....
An unnamed source within the bama program has disclosed that Nick will call a 6:00am team meeting this Friday and have the power cut to various apartments around town to kill alarm clocks have all the reasons he needs to remove players for breaking team rules if they are late to said meeting.

This. Anyone giving Auburn and Bama fans a reason to band together needs to be banned. Of course women, booze and patriotism are the exceptions.

Not gonna happen. Now if a Bama fan went on the Tiger Rant and pointed out how LSU does the exact same thing....

Marines- I agree

Indian-charlotte was a blast-friday night was a heater, and saturday night did not disappoint. It had been about a year since I had seen them so my expectations were wide open but they far exceeded any that I had before friday night.

Maybe he can "cut" enough to take Stavion Lowe, Chris Garrett, Jhyryn Taylor, Thomas Parsons, Clay Spencer, John Williams or some of the guys that Miles has "cut" since Spring.

pretty sure they're at 85, if not under a couple at this point.

Just a few weeks later than most.

oversigning

"The March to 85 - LSU
PLAYER POSITION REASON FOR LEAVING
Akiem Hicks Defensive Tackle Kicked off the team - taking money from coach
Kyle Prater Linebacker Transfer
Jhyryn Taylor Wide Receiver Transfer
Thomas Parsons Fullback Medical Hardship Scholarship
John Williams Wide Receiver Medical Hardship Scholarship
Clay Spencer Offensive Lineman Medical Hardship Scholarship
Chris Garrett QB Cut - Scholarship Not Renewed

Had LSU been restricted to signing to their limit of 85 and still suffered the same attrition as above, they would be going into the season with 78 players on scholarship. Instead they will lose these 7 guys and still come in at 85. What a luxury for the coaching staff at LSU to be able to oversign with reckless abandon."

I am fully aware of the attrition that LSU has had over the summer. Of all those players, Chris Garrett is the only one that was forced out and there is more to the story than anyone outside the program knows about.

I guess you missed the part about bama still being 3 over the 85 limit. Of coarse the bama fans around here will say bama is not over the limit but every other site that tracks such tings like the one you linked says bama is still 3 over. Here is bama's summer attrition list:

Terry Grant Running Back Scholarship not renewed, graduated, quit football, might get a medical hardship scholarship
Travis Sikes Wide Receiver Scholarship not renewed, graduated, not good enough to see the field
Darius McKeller Offensive Lineman Medical Hardship Scholarship
Star Jackson Quarterback Transfer, Georgia State Div 1AA.
Blake Sims Quarterback Academically Ineligible, summer school, might enroll next year.
Taylor Pharr Offensive Lineman Medical Hardship Scholarship
Milton Talbert Linebacker Medical Hardship Scholarship

After all that, according to the site you linked, bama is still 3 over. At least LSU's attrition has brought them under the 85 limit.

My post was not a flame. I wanted to know when a team had to be at the 85 number and who bama fans thought would be in jeopardy of being cut from the team in the coming week to make room for the incoming freshman class.

On behalf on LSU fans I apologize for rantards coming and flaming. Please don't judge us by a few idiots, as we try to not judge you by your idiots. And the fact he is a member since 2003 gives him a casty.
