[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.

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...
re: 04, 05 Shaun Alexander - best years for a Bama RB in the NFL since 2000
Posted by CrimsonCrusade on 4/5/24 at 7:25 am
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]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...
re: Bama Baseball 24-13 (6-9) (2023-24)

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....
re: Alabama football fans. Bigger Rivalry. Auburn or Tennessee?
Posted by CrimsonCrusade on 3/13/24 at 6:48 pm
[quote]barn rivalry was much better when the Iron Bowl still existed with a 50/50 ticket split at Legion Field.

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...
re: So, who showed their arse after the Michigan loss?

[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...
re: If college ball is going to unions
Posted by CrimsonCrusade on 3/4/24 at 11:15 am
[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...
re: College Football most likely adding two minute warning
Posted by CrimsonCrusade on 3/4/24 at 10:51 am
[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]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...
