Roses of Crimson

Our "go to" hitter is a football walk on who hasn't played baseball in two years and was offered no D1 schollies in any sport. It's just a collection of walk ons and over the mountain kids who can afford to pay their own way. We recruit to baseball based on your economic situation and ability for your family to pay, not talent alone.
We have many kids who live at home and commute. Some baseball players we have had have drove to school every day from as far away as Vestavia so they didn't have to pay for housing. Most find friends who will put them up. Heard many baseball players talk about sleeping on a couch for 4 years.

LSU 4
Bama 1

LSU 9
Bama 1

LSU 8
Bama 2

Honestly, we don't need to be on the same field. You would have a much better challenge playing Southern probably.

Nope. Best DL is Bama. Allen, Williams and Anderson are all back and were extremely disruptive. These 3 are all possible first rounders next year.

Nowadays, If we can win one it's a huge accomplishment.

With the current schollie setup Bama should not be a threat to LSU baseball within 7 or 8 runs. LSU should take this opp to get some young players some experience.

His sister was also hired to that same company in 2014. I don't know what the rules are on that but it seems like this has to perk the NCAA ears up a little bit, no?

Can't deal with an agent prior to declaring. Period. All games are vacated that said player participated in. Even meeting with an agent is prohibited. This would be probation city. If LSU is still currently on probation it would fall under repeat offender status also.

If Alabama struggles this year RB will likely be the problem.

Meh, probably not.

RB"s are as good as their line. Wold Emmitt Smith have been Emmitt with the Falcons? How'd he do with the Cards.

All you younguns believe the skill players are all that matters. ALL that matters is the men in the trenches and we dominate the LOS. We will be fine. Probably repeat as National champs.

Actually Jake was a composite 3 star. I don't remember anybody having him a 4.

As we all know, the University of Alabama has ownership of UA-Birmingham (UAB).

But, why do you guys keep trying to kill UAB's various athletics programs?

Their basketball team is 26-5 and first in their conference this year...but if it isn't "The Tide", then you couldn't give a rat's arse. "Roll Tide or Death!".

You tried to kill their football program as well.

Why doesn't the University of Alabama let these people go?

Are they your Slaves?

It is time to let UAB go guys.

UAB's good to go if they want but two things:

Medical school comes back to Ttown and the now named Birmingham University will have to build and staff its own med school. Don't be foolish and think it stays as is.

Do you seriously think UAB athletics will survive as a single entity. We subsidize millions just so they can play sports and they can create a Birmingham university but will lose whatever help they have now. Lots of people blow hot air about how UAB is stepped on. In truth, Alabama has kept that place pretty much alive athletically speaking. Free UAB did nothing to bring back football. If the flagship campus didn't want UAB to have football, they wouldn't have it. I suspect they won't in 5 years because they will keep drawing about 15K (no they didn't actually average 30K BOUGHT tickets last year) to games and that simply can't support football.

I didn't know they had one.

Dude, I'm sorry Auburn was never in UT territory. Correlations to schools vary on what sport you're talking about. In football UT is closest to Bama.
AU, LSU, UGA correlate pretty well.

I guess if you talk about swimming you got UT. The big 3, depends on the sport.
Basketball, outside of the Barkley-Person years, AU doesn't have much to show for it. Had that brief team in 99 or 2000 but they didn't do much postseason but neither has UT.
