Ty Haywood out of the starting rotation is surprising. Figured he would plug at one of the guards but Sanders took that role.

Carroll at guard and Jackson at LT is awesome. Two years we'll have both in that role at minimum.
I think the backs, Hill in this instance, get too much flack here. We were a duo run game and failing to execute duo or even get to the second level, and it was flashed on tape as early as that Georgia game.

Even in an instance where we played against three high safeties like OU, we were getting little to no holes for the backs because the line play was utter garbage in the run.

Plus we ran long-developing run plays which exacerbated the issue

Honestly I can’t see the OL being worse than last year. I don’t what the frick we were doing, maybe all the OL change-ups and moving around was causing issues, but TheFilmGuy showing how they were missing routine assignments was rough
Man if I’m an LSU lurker I’d love to get my 15 year paycheck
Ehh, Reuben had his career ended because after the accuser schtick he was injured (again) and he brought her to a team hotel where she pulled another stunt like that.

It was the fact he kept her around and kept getting himself into trouble that did him in
Brooks tore his ACL with the Commanders, which has kind of doomed his career. He was cut a month ago because he’s been on the reserves list for a few months with it.

Bond didn’t really hurt himself by leaving, he put up the same stats as WR2/3 at Texas that he did as WR1 with Milroe. At the end of the day he did more route wise than we did with Milroe being 20+ throws or bust. He didn’t have the ceiling he expected but he didn’t budge.

Bond hurt himself by getting a sexual assault incident.

But again, this goes back to WR wasn’t our issue in 2024
Jacorey Brooks went to the Commanders after putting up 1K yards at Louisville and getting first team ACC. Burton and Javon Baker were drafted. Bond (even with SA allegations) and Holden both made NFL rosters with production at Texas/Oregon and that’s your 2022/2023 overlap group.

Not to mention WR wasn’t exactly “weak” for DeBoer year one or two with Germie and Ryan.

Fans like to blame the roster more than reality. The roster didn’t make Milroe forget how to play quarterback against Tennessee or Michigan, missing passes and turning the ball over. It also didn’t result in the defense giving up 200 yards at half to Oklahoma on the ground from the same triple option schtick it had earlier.

Was the peak talent as good as 2016? No. But it wasn’t some gutter roster that had the excuse losing the games it did.
DeBoer inherited the #1 talent composite roster even post transfers.

The reality of the 2024 season is the defensive playcalling shite the bed in two games and in the other two the quarterback didn’t know what day it was so he decided to turn it over six times.

Saban went 8-0 with that roster in SEC play and DeBoer had a multi touchdown lead on Georgia at half. The roster was never the issue.
This just sounds like Saban speak every year :lol:

The lightning in a bottle comment and the way Saban is tip toeing around it would make me think Keelon gets it even if he’s a slight step behind.

Did we not learn our lesson about hyping up true freshman with AK Dear
Select non-profits mis-using donated funds for a specific purpose does not make a movement a lie.

Also yes, the issue for BLM was specifically about a racial group being selectively targeted by law enforcement. I'm not sure what you're rambling about on the all lives matter front. Black on black violence is an issue as it relates to the poverty cycle, but the BLM marches were about a separate issue.

You're not really giving me an argument for why the movement "was a lie". You're just saying you didn't like the argument BLM was presenting.
If by truth and candor you mean Floyd’s death being videotaped and the court case being a slam dunk with a corroborating corners report

The BLM movement wasn’t a lie, nor what the players were marching for. Riots in certain cities weren’t a good look, but that’s not why they marched.

Also saying Saban “only supported them for optics” is a wild character accusation. And I can’t really understand how anyone would justify that angle.
If we have a small class, I would imagine we have enough cash to bid for Sales confidently
I miss the good old days of having Saban and Malzahn dance it out for Rashaan Evans at the family wedding
Anyone have any clue on when the wave of commits should start coming?

It's odd looking at 247 and Alabama, Georgia and LSU are all out of the top 30 at this stage.
Kind of glancing over David Duke, who actually served in some form of politics (Louisiana) before he went off on the current Neo Nazi spin and somehow creeps his way back into politics every once in a while like the 2016 election.

Byrd was also eulogized by the NAACP :lol:, not the best example when the guy renounced it mid 50’s and then became one of the more consistent voters with NAACP favored bills in the 80’s onward. He was a big backer of Obama’s campaign.

Byrd basically did the opposite of Strom Thurmond and didn’t double down on racism
The broader point I’m making is comparing 1960’s parties to 2020’s parties doesn’t make sense. They’re nowhere near the same in anything but title because coalitions move.

On Haven, idk where tf uncle Luke wants him to go because his finalists were pure South

I don’t know where we missed the mark in history class, but the Dixiecrats that were a stalwart against civil rights became Republicans. In large part because of LBJ pulling a fast one on them.

Same reason Rockefeller Republicans are moderate Democrats. Party alignment isn’t a locked in position relative to stance.

I don’t know if I would ever take the stance of “George Wallace was a Democrat” when Strom Thurmond flipped that same year like the rest of them.
I mean, when you carve up Memphis into three districts to eliminate the black vote you shouldn't be shocked at that group being angry with you.

We outgained Clemson, quarterback wasn't the issue.

The issue was Locksley couldn't playcall for shite, especially in the redzone. Venables had his entire playbook and playcalling tendency mapped to a T.
Brock Huard produced the bust that is Sam Huard, I wouldn’t put much weight into him
