I'm a K-State alum (MS 1968) and agree with this decision even though we will have to pay the Big 12 fine of $500k. We have a new coach in Collin Kline who is the current Texas A&M OC and a former K-State QB. He will split time between the two schools by flying daily between Manhattan and College Station to continue coaching A&M in the playoffs and building his staff and recruiting for K-State. I'm very happy having Kline.
Agree that running back blocking in pass protection was bad. When we decide to pass, why not put a big tight end or a quick lineman in at the running back position. Reason is we know we're going to pass and so does the opponent so why not put a good blocker in to increase protection?

below average o-line which results in poor pass protection and no running game.

re: How we feeling about Ty now?

What is Ty's eligibility status for next year?
I have held off commenting because I wanted time to pass to see if my negative reaction to the FSU game would change. It has not. When Saban first got to T-Town he said he wanted a team that no other team wanted to play again. Well, last year and the FSU game proved to me that we don't have such a team. When the players made mistakes or showed they lacked toughness or effort Saban would chew their butts. And the same for coaches who messed up. And Saban would do it at practice and during a game. He was energized, excited and determined for excellence. He set a very high standard for Bama. Conversely, KD stands still on the sideline with his arms crossed like he's watching the Masters Golf Tournament. It seems he is afraid to hurt the feelings of players and coaches. KD has such a large payout I'm afraid he will kill the Bama standard and program. Sad!

Many thanks for all your hard work.

TutHill Tiger-Good for your son and you! I sent three daughters to Bama, all had scholarships (two with full ride presidentials). All were Tri Delts and graduated on time with honors (marketing, finance and interior design. They came home with husbands and have produced seven grandchildren. I couldn't be happier with their Bama experience.
Thank you sweet Jesus. Best news since Trump won.
Hawaiian Punch: 100% agree! Coach needs to start kicking some a$$.

re: Milroe Killed Alabama Football

We will not win a championship with Milroe as QB. Give Simpson a chance; it couldn't be any worse.
Bamafan1953: Completely agree. I'd add that disrespectful behaviour by our captains at the coin toss. No class!
I agree! All that showboating after the play is embarrasing. All the player did on the play was his job. If it was an exceptional play, a hand shake or pat on the back should suffice. Both teams and the fans know what happened so there's no need for "see me " theacrtics. I'm sick of it.

During the second half and since then, I wondered why GA made adjustments on OF and DEF and we didn't counter. Anybody have and explaination?

ABC stadium noise

Is so loud I can't hear what the announcers are saying. As a Bama fan, when our game is on ABC, I'll mute the TV and listen on Bama radio.
