[quote]There were a lot of bad snaps today[/quote] There were too many, but what count as bad snaps yesterday would've gone on McLaughlin's highlight reel. Also they will not be playing on completely dead grass like that again this season. That might have had some effect....

[quote]I get it. I was in a fraternity at Bama and would never allow my son to be in one after that experience. [/quote] As someone who was not in a fraternity at UA, I would warn you that it really affects your social experience. So much of the social life on that campus runs through Greek Life...
Alexander should have had back to back rushing titles those years. He was one yard short in 2004 and Mike Holmgren simply would not give him a carry. Usually in the NFL if a player is close to a record like that, they just give him the ball every single play until he gets it. It was a major controve...

[quote]If the TV market is still what you are after you have to target Duke, UNC and the biggest prize ND. I doubt they would all be interested.[/quote] I think the TV market logic has completely changed in the steaming era....
[quote]These assholes don’t get it. His bosses aren’t preparing him for his next job or for life. That’s the job that a cfb coach.[/quote] He ought to get it. He very likely worked for the school newspaper for free while he was in college studying journalism. This was done on the assumption that ...
[quote]In other cases, things just changed. For the better? For the worse? Depends who you ask.[/quote] No it doesn't. Outside of shills in the media who know that keeping this sport popular is their livelihood, no one speaks positively about the state of college football. Every single fan you ta...
I watched game two of the Tennessee series and it was apparent to me that the outcome was no fluke. If anything, it felt like the game was less competitive than 6-3 indicates....
[quote]barn rivalry was much better when the Iron Bowl still existed with a 50/50 ticket split at Legion Field. [/quote] This take is so bad but I see it repeated so many times. Neutral site games suck, Legion Field sucked, Birmingham sucks. The only good thing about that arrangement was it kept...
[quote] I find it hard to believe that there weren’t plenty of players across his career that threw their helmets or were fighting mad after a terrible loss like the one in January.[/quote] When I played, everyone was emotional after a loss, but throwing your helmet was a line in the sand that yo...
[quote]And the board consensus SEEMS to be that those 3 seasons SUCKED, Saban could no longer compete, and the program is in shambles[/quote] That's not the board consensus at all. There were some people melting in the game threads, but the general consensus is that Bama might have actually overa...
[quote]Programs like Dartmouth have stated if their players form a union they will possibly drop the program. They give no athletic scholarships and the football program makes no money. If a super league were to form I would wager many programs will no longer offer football as TV contracts and other...
[quote]Everything mentioned sounds like a positive addition to the sport.[/quote] What does the two minute warning add? That's always been a terrible rule in the NFL. Disrupts pace of play at a critical juncture in the game and the only reason for it to exist, as East Coast Band noted, is to add ...
[quote]Duke Player was knocked down by Wake Forest Fans rushing the floor today. He was helped off the floor by other Duke players. He is having an MRI to find out the extent of his injuries. [/quote] That was his fault. Tried to shove a fan and tripped over his own feet. Could only have ha...
[quote]That’s what Big Al should look like. As long as we’re cleaning house l, we should ditch the current Big Al and make him that. Give him some tusks and let him look like he’s ready to kick some arse. Right now he looks like Micky Mouse’s gay cousin. [/quote] We've talked about this befor...
[quote]It's impossible to be a good mayor of Birmingham. There literally is nothing inside the city limits that inspires. Maybe a few downtown areas near the Civic Center and possibly some areas near Avondale are OK, but otherwise the city is just being drained by a huge number of low life governmen...
[quote]It’s a effing RADIO CALL! It’s not open heart surgery or being President. So what if he’s Not the world’s sharpest anymore? And When’s the last time ANY of us seriously had to rely ONLY on the radio call with no video??? Unless you are a cheapskate, it was probably 2007.[/quote] [quote]...
[quote]Fun fact: Timothy Leary got a degree from Bama[/quote] Not only that. He taught there....
[quote]we could hire coaches so crappy no one else would want them[/quote] You joke, but that legitimately was the rationale on the Golding hire....
[quote]I mean he did a good job at Penn State in the brief time he was there. 8-4 and 7-5 when they were going through the sanctions and pedo stuff[/quote] No he didn't. I talked about this on here when Bama hired him. With the talent Penn State has relative to the rest of the Big Ten, a 7-5 seas...
