I've never understood these declarations by players that have exhausted their college eligibility. I appreciate the "Thank you" to the fans and team/coaches but at the end they declare they are going to the Pros. No shite! It feels like LinkedIn posts have creeped into college players postings. ...

Wow!!! I still cannot believe we won that series after a rough week last week where nothing went right. Here's to knocking off yet another #1 team this weekend. SEC is brutal...

[quote]This team is in a death spiral[/quote] I figured it was going to be tough when Quick went down and then it was inevitable that this would happen once Banks went out. I think we are just going to have to say this season is probably not looking good for postseason and that we will have to lo...

[quote]I’m going through the process now. Moved away from Tuscaloosa after completing my undergrad. I wanted to throw my dollars at UA but sadly there’s no online program.

[quote]How do we not have an online mba. I still don’t get that. Schools are printing money offering that[/quote] This drives me insane too. I know far too many people that wanted to do Bama's MBA program but decided to do Auburn's because there's was fully online. I bet off the top of my head I ...

[quote]So in actuality you recognize that if you had been in a “better” fraternity, you probably would have had a much better experience? Sounds like a pretty dumb reason to keep your son from having a chance to experience it if that’s something he wants. But maybe that’s just me[/quote] It’s de...

[quote]My son was raised a Bama fan but went to AU for their aerospace program. He is now a doctoral candidate and is still a Bama fan.[/quote] That’s fantastic. I understand going to other schools if they have a major or specialty that UA doesn’t offer. UA also does a horrendous job promoting th...

[quote]Alabama seemed to could have cared less. Unlike State, they offered no other personal tours, and we couldn’t get anyone to meet with us one on one like state did to discuss academics.

I know I know, blashphemy on this subject on this board as it says directly "Alabama Sports Board" but I wanted to get opinions from those who have college aged children in the state of Alabama and has sent them to other schools within this state. This is kind of from a couple threads on the SECr...

[quote]I hope we keep losing. It's the only way we move on from Murphy.[/quote] While I will never pull against Bama, I'm afraid you're right and just hope Murphy will see the writing on the wall and decide to retire. He had a chance to right the ship by hiring an actual hitting coach but he refu...

As someone that lives in that district, I'm not surprised. Most of the conservative folks don't pay attention to politics unless it's the general election. I also "follow" the local subreddit for giggles and they really promoted the election and felt like they could win it spurring momentum. On ...
