Why not just write in someone instead of adding to the Democrat count?

Bring him back. His offense in 2018 or 2019 was fun to watch

I’m already there brother. Fall is too beautiful to be cooped inside watching this shite
Yup. Rushing the field after beating us as frequently as they have lately is pretty sad. Leave that to the Kentuckys of the world. Tennessee fans should feel ashamed.

Why would you think a school like Alabama couldn't match one
Indiana has the most living alumni than any school in the country. They have over 500,000. Alabama comes in at around 25th with 200,000. Just by sheer numbers they are bound to have way more wealthy alumni
Yup. FSU had a bye before us, UGA had a Vandy without their starting QB, TN had the worst SEC team in Arkansas before us too. LSU has a bye canceling ours out as well

Has this happened in the past?
Yes. Happened in the 2007 UGA walkoff win in front of the student section. I always thought it was a horrible idea to put the student section right at the visiting team tunnel. Not sure if that is done anywhere else

No kidding. Anyone that knows AU women know how militant they are about that school. Instead of Live, Laugh, Love signs in the house they plaster the AU creed in every room

Florida State by far. Dealt with them twice. Once in Jax and the other two weeks ago in ttown. I was in section 128 a couple weeks ago surrounded by their fans. One guy was so obnoxious I thought my good friend was going to fight him and he’s not an aggressive person.

That’s a bummer but I’m seeing we have a ton of top recruits in this class. I know not all of them will make it but I like the direction of the program. Can anyone see what this class is ranked currently?

The Birmingham metro is turning heavily into Barner country. No idea what the reason why but there has certainly been a swing.
This is unfortunately true and seems to be getting worse. I don’t know what we are doing in Birmingham to be honest. Is it lazy recruiting? I’m surprised by that too since Tuscaloosa is closer. We seem to be doing better in the rural areas but the margin of error is slim because if they get bad grades for even one semester they have to drop out since they can’t afford to pay full tuition. Any way you look at it, I agree that we need to do better especially in the metro areas of the state

Why are the in state numbers so low? Is it because in state kids don't want to go there or is the university just accepting less and less in state kids and putting a higher priority on out of state kids?
It’s not low comparatively speaking. A lot of Alabama residents cannot afford college tuition. So the kids go to community colleges and some transfer to 4 year schools after a year or two. We’ve increased in state kids every year for the past 4 or 5 years.
I’ve lost so much interest in recruiting that I genuinely thought “who?” Was he a highly rated player out of high school?

The standards are already kind of low to get in. What do you want UA to do? Lower standards even more just to grab a few hundred more in state kids? People act like we have practically no in state students but we have less than 200 fewer than AU. We are doing fine, and no, out of state students haven’t ruined anything. They’ve only made the university a bigger brand. I thank them for that

What % of money does the University and AD gets?
The University gets what it wants basically just from the rent of the land from the tenants. I like the idea of a Truist park but I'm not sure we have the big money spenders to support it all year long that would be required. I know University of Tennesee is doing that, but they are also located in a bigger city that has more than just the University they can support

I like it! $25 entry fee and we can make it like the Haunted House ride at Disney World. We could then afford to payroll everyone including scout teams and pay the communications people off to turn the headsets for Grubb off.

Are the 20 or so bars not good enough? I would put Bama against almost anybody when it comes to entertainment around BDS. That is one good thing we got going for us compared to other schools.

It seems to me that there has been a lot more talk about beating Bama from the Kentucky and Miss State fans than ever before. Maybe it's my algorithm or something but there is a ton of confidence from these two fanbases. Maybe they feel like we are at our weakest we've been in decades and that they can finally beat us. I have seen quite a few videos of the content creators going around to the students and general fans asking if they should rush the field after they beat us.
Fingers crossed. Alabama residents would love nothing more for Louisiana residents to stop coming to our beaches with their LSU tents blocking everything.
