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.

It's "you're", not "your".

Hawaiian Punch: 100% agree! Coach needs to start kicking some a$$.
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.

hire a quality hitting coach
Byrne should DEMAND Murph do so.
I have a granddaughter who will graduate (with honors) in this last class of Birmingham Southern. She saw this coming and is heartbroken.

4-0 last time I looked. Broken shoulder put me in two hospitals and a rehab facility since 21 March so I haven't watched any games or monitored postings on the rant. Unfortunately, the hitting hasn't gotten any better and I don't expect it to. Not hiring a quality hitting coach was Murph's big mistake and should lead to him being fired.
Glad to get a win today even if it's just to avoid a sweep. Like I said, we have a chance to win with Beavers IF she can get some hitting support. We'll probably ride her like we did with Fouts last season. It's a shame we have to do this again this year.

he refuses to do something about the hitting
He did something. He hired two people, neither of which was a high quality hitting coach. Today's run rule loss was same ole, same ole with the poor hitting and the pitching simply collapsed. The only chance we have against most SEC teams is Beavers and we can't count on her getting enough hitting support to win.
