re: Congrats UGA fans

as noted on the score board: Their line on both sides had a great game. Stockton played well too.

Also as noted, I think DeBoer has proven he's a good coach, but I am not a Wommack fan. Our defense often looks clueless, and not only vs UGA.
Stockton played well

I think DeBoer has proven he's a good head coach but Wommack is Woeful.

I think the UGA defender was expecting a flag. The announcers sure did

quote:

Late in that season I’ve always said something was wrong with Jalen.


He lacked a passing game the previous year too. Lincoln Riley gets a lot of flak but he's a great qb coach, or at least he used to be. It was the best thing for Hurts.
quote:

To think of the subsequent events of Tua turning into an NFL bust with major concussion issues


I'm not sure if "prone to injury" is real or not but he's definitely unlucky re injuries. He will never get over the hip injury and it impacted his entire game. His biggest mistake was probably never giving up on a play, and it cost him dearly.
quote:

Hurts is the better QB and proved it in the NFL with a Super Bowl ring.


Those All American receivers were ready to transfer after the season if Jalen Hurts was the qb next season. This is a good example (different game) why Tua replaced Jalen Hurts. A second after staring down this wide open Alabama receiver in the end zone, Hurts took off around the right side again, for another short gain



And this is a good example of Tua saving the day vs UGA, for a national title


quote:

He was almost in tears in that clip but just put his head down did not complain and went to work.


There's no crying in football. And he did complain during the next spring training period.

His Dad was an arse about it all. Said Jalen would be the biggest transfer in college football history. Wrong
quote:

Jalen Hurts would have won that game.

Hurts deserved better.


That's stupid. Tua was just a true freshman but was better than Hurts at least by mid season. The receivers were very unhappy with Hurts, who was extremely inaccurate all season when he did actually pull the trigger. Hurts was 3 of 8 for 21 yards and 0 points in the first half of that title game. Tua won the game in the 2nd half.
quote:


Their "issue" is their G6-caliber roster - only money will solve that.


It's much more than the qb but Austin Mack to Auburn wouldn't surprise me, but I expect he will go back west.

I think the major issue is Golesh. I don't think he's ready for the SEC and may not ever be.
quote:

To be blunt Russell has a higher ceiling than any QB I’ve seen come through Tuscaloosa.


Tua was elite from the get go but he was a true freshman playing behind Hurts. Before all the injuries started taking a toll he could throw any pass, with tremendous accuracy, could throw a receiver open, could read a defense before and after the snap, was good in the pocket but as mobile as any Alabama qb I have seen. Sadly, that mobility and the refusal to quit on a play was his undoing with the hip injury that impacted his game forever.

Russell looks very good for a young guy with very little gametime.
it's been posted before but as previously noted, I don't pay as much attention to it all as I used to, certainly including message boards

But that schedule is pathetic

re: Sumrall dunking on the boogs

If keeping Durkin was truly a requirement then those in charge at Auburn haven't learned a damn thing. Pretty funny that Sumrall's team scored 44 on the supposedly awesome Durkin.

Fine with me, though. I'm glad Auburn didn't get Sumrall. He appears to be a much better coach than Golesh, whose coachspeak is as bad as his team.

I rememeber when some Auburn fans claimed the qb would be a great addition. He sucks too.
I have just been too jaded about college football, long before this, to really pay much attention but I thought that was what the problem was.

Saban only wanted to preserve his advantage.


why, then, has he continued to politic for reasonable regulations regarding pay for play and the transfer portal, including lobbying congress for federal legislation ?

except Saban has been trying to preserve the college game, not hasten its demise

How many classes is Sellars taking this Fall?


classes? Snicker. That's a novel idea these days. Registered "students" , though, is different than prospective new students. It's a farce, I agree, but different.

Meeeeeeeeelt!


gee, that's an intelligent response to the question
quote:

So denying those individuals because the deadline to apply is past is an obvious option


They can’t because of the court rulings / temporary restraining orders.


You are one thick, uneducated, son of a gun.

If the deadline to apply for fall semester is past, it's past for all prospective students, and to give athletes special privilege that the common student doesn't get is to deny that common student the same individual right, which is supposedly what the lawsuits are about.

Do the athletes get special privilege in other ways ? Sure. One glaring difference is that, though they are supposed to progress to a degree, that's a joke that everybody just ignores as best as possibe. In this case, though, players that signed on with nfl teams that want to play college again, is a new case and one that to this point has been denied. These aren't registered students. They can apply, but for January or fall semester 2027.
quote:

Have you ever been a high profile athlete?

The rules generally don’t apply to them


If a college wants to deny a student for whatever reason, then the fact that the deadline has passed is an easy one.

Obviously, at least 15 of the 16 SEC programs want to deny these players, and it's a really good bet that it's to maintain those last meager points that it's still an amateur sports for college students. So denying those individuals because the deadline to apply is past is an obvious option.

geeze. What a maroon.
