re: Springsteen? Do you still like him?

I never like him. Back when I was in HS, we called him Bruce "Shitstain".
I agree. At least 15 mil. If Bama wants to win a NC in basketball, it's going to cost $$$$. The good news is players and coaches don't put as much emphasis on the arena or facilities. It's much less costly to increase roster budget vs building a new basketball arena and facilities.

don't know how he is perfect for the system when he is an inconsistent shooter and can't physically keep up so doesn't rebound well and struggles guarding SFs and PFs. He was one of the big misses that cost us this season


I’m hearing NIL for basketball is being increased, not for inflation, but to attract better players. It’s gonna cost more to bring in really good front court guys if Bama wants to win a NC in basketball.
They aren’t doing it with transfers from Pepperdine and Popcorn State.

This is the tourney. Doesn’t matter about that.
Michigan and Arizona are the two best teams by far.

Michigan by at least 15 on Sunday.

Yeah sure Sherrell lottery pick.

People will laugh when you say Sherrell is a 2 million dollar center until they see us starting a 400k center


We’re getting ripped off. Seriously, nobody is offering Sherrell more money. The guy offers not much more than a 6’11” Euro guy that can hit a few 3s.

A traditional unlike any other.


Imagine your team getting swept by that team and losing 3 of the last 4 against them. Ouch!
quote:

Let's hope they stick around. Sherrel as well. We know teams will throw money at them.


L-O-L!!!

Probably. Oats needs to actually give a frick about rebounding and defense. But still frick Holloway.


I know y’all don’t like to face reality but this team went as far as Philon could take them.
They are just- not that talented. Front court guys are average and that’s being generous.
To get final fours consistantly and a NC IMO, without lucky breaks, you need an elite pg, some good to great guards around them and at least one elite front court man.
Our guys look like the keystone cops. I guffawed when Allen spike the ball off of Sherrell. Sherrell, and other guys missed multiple rebounds fumbling and bumbling the ball.
I think Coach did a great job getting this group as far as they did. Roll Tide!
All depends on who we have at QB. if DeBoer decides to put Mack in just because he's the upperclassman and also out of loyalty- not because he's much better than Keelon. Let's say in practice Keelon has the "wow" factor and hits the big plays and shows brilliance.
On the other hand, Mack shows no wow factor and is just average getting the play off but absolutely does not impress with throwing receivers open, hitting the big routes, etc.
Then the season will look like this, IMO:


quote]Vs E Carolina W 38-10
@ Kentucky W 24-14
Vs Florida St W 28-13
Vs South Carolina W 28-24
@ Miss St W 34-27
Vs Georgia L 27-13. Keelon could actually take over as starter.
@Tennessee , L 24-21
Vs Texas A&M W 28-24
@LSU L 31-21
@ Vandy W 28-21
Vs Chatt W 56-7
Vs Auburn W 31-14

9-3(5-3)[/quote]

Of course, O line play and RB could swing this upward, even with Mack. If O Line play is vastly improved and RB play is vastly improved, we could of course win the LSU, Tenn and UGA games. Or at least the home game against Georgia and the road game against LSU. We always play the refs and crowd at UT. It's become the new Allbarn on the road.
