First, is it possible to call bama gumpnation and not be trolling? I say no ,but who knows. I'll try to do that.

Just being serious here(its a shame we have to start a thread with "non troll" in the subject. )
So ,I'm sitting here and imagining how I would feel about the upcoming season ,if i was a bama fan. I'm sure the thought is,its bama ,they will always be good, I agree. the question is how confident should a bama fan be?

With the new qb coming in ,losing some good players on defense like surtain and moses ,who at minimum, got the guys lined up.
Then you wont have smith or waddle. So is metchie a legit number one for yall? Are you concerned about breaking in the young qb ,hes not played meaningful snaps, we know how different it is when you are THE guy.

Also,this would be my main concern,you have a new offense,or at least you have a different play caller ,if he doesnt change the offense.
Dont think bill will run the offense that sark ran.to much ego for that. That's most coaches though.

You got a hell of a line on offense and I'm not well educated on the bama defensive line.

So how do the fans feel? Is it the same ole same ole,like when Blake sims and Jake Coker both came in and never missed a beat? is it possible saban loses 3 games in one seaaon,which I doubt hes ever done at bama ,besides maybe his 1st or 2nd year?

I'd be surprised if he loses more than one game again in the regular season by the time he retires. Are yall all with me on that ,or are you worried about this year?

The schedule actually sets up very favorably this year....at A&M will be the toughest regular season game.

Bro, with all due respect, Alabama won the CFP National Championship, the SEC Championship, the Heisman Trophy and numerous other awards, and just had the highest-ranked recruiting class in history.

Also, the basketball team might win the conference with a high seed in the NCAA Tournament.

We aren't worried about shite right now.

Pretty good. Depending on how well Bryce Young does I see us possibly right back in the playoffs.


We will replace WRs with new high rated guys. We return a ton on defense. Oline will probably be a step back, but not bad. We have a loaded RB room.

Really just gonna depend on Bryce, imo.

Highly doubt that. This will be and even more down year imo next year for the SEC. Florida, Auburn, and Texas AM all are taking step backs. LSU, UGA, Bama, Ole Miss will be the only teams ranked in the final season poll.

I think they have a real shot at winning the Division. Mond leaving is addition by subtraction - similar to UF and Felipe Franks.

I don't guess we do know that, but it's hard for me to believe Jimbo will have a QB worse than Mond next year.

Their defense will be one of the best in the country. A&M will be a very good team.

Its extremely easy for a qb in his first season to be worse then mond as a four year starter or whatever he was.

I have a real hard time believing that ole miss will finished ranked ahead of florida and Auburn and state and arkansas , mizzou, and Aggie in the final poll.

Really its Auburn florida and a and m that I think will be ranked . Then a small chance one of the others too

I'll bet you whatever you are willing to bet times 2 on my end and not on your end that lsu finishes higher then that
So on a 100$ bet ,if lsu finishes ,at best, where you say ,you get 200$ .

If they finish higher then where you say ,or equal, I get 100 dollers
