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

EXACTLY! Bama's LB's over the last few years have been a shell of their former selves.

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.
