re: This is the Epstein email that broke me

Don't thumb down but Epstein "emails" have been circulating the internet, and they are not actually from the files released by the DOJ. They are fakes, especially the most salacious and appalling.

really don't care if he doesn't make another one all season if he just gives us 10-15 decent minutes of rebounding and defense.


At this point, it's safe to say it's not happening. I think the guy is fine and OK with his awful play.

.“Alabama has landed Bucknell center Noah Williamson through the transfer portal,” 247Sports’ Brett Greenberg wrote. “The seven-footer and reigning Patriot League POTY averaged 17.4 points, 7.6 rebounds & 1.1 blocks per game while shooting 53.8% from the floor and 31.1% 3PT. MASSIVE pickup.”

Now, that MASSIVE pickup must be producing in a big way for Bama, right? Well, not to throw any shade at the kid, but he’s currently playing just nine minutes per game while averaging 1.2 points and 1.7 rebounds per contest. He earned a consensus four-star portal ranking as the No. 121 available player in the portsal at the time of his commitment.

To clarify, none of this is meant to be a shot at Noah Williamson; he put in the work and was rewarded heavily for it, and is competing on a winning basketball team. This is strictly a message for Big 12 fans to take caution. Portal rankings can be out of whack and way off the mark, or they can be just about spot on. This is just another case study in how what happens during the offseason always looks better until tip-off or kickoff arrives.

Many of the teachers are Gen Z. I saw a Youtuber parked outside of a teacher's convention. He was asking them basic history questions that anyone should have learned in elementary school. Many of them did not know all of the answers, some got a few correct, and some could not answer a single question.

Alabama can play Florida in a 7 game series and they might win one, maybe two.

Holy shite you don’t want illegals fresh across the border working on your HVAC system. LOL!

are. Turns out cheap illegal labor build crappy products.


Amen! And they aren’t charging less. The OP probably lives in his mom’s basement and has no fricking clue what he’s talking about.
I’ve had roofing work, lawn maintenance and care, all done by likely illegals.
The roofers has to come back and redo shoddy work. The cost was $$$$. The lawn the first lawn guys were $$$$ and unreliable. The next were reliable but even more expensive.
Contractors are not passing on savings by using illegal labor. They charge the same for higher margins.

re: Halloways shot was amazing.

My point is if he missed that shot they probably lose. It was going to come down to a single play. These teams play each other ten times I wouldn’t bet on who come out on top. It’s pretty even.


This is probably his worst squad since his first year. They are truly a live by the 3, die by the 3 squad. They are soft, do not play defense at all, and the front court is lacking. They're headed for an 8 or 9 seed in the NCAA tournament.
I think Oats is a great coach, for Bama, but he needs to tweak his system if he wants to take it to the next level.

I think it’s okay to bitch about the limitations of a team/player, but to say the system isn’t working is ignorant based on results.


It’s working but would be nice to win a NC. Gonna need to tweak some things in the current system to take it to that level.

f we are gonna go back to previous years, how about being unbeaten against Houston as the coach at Alabama? How about winning at #1 Auburn last year and going 4-2 overall against the Broome and Caldwell combo? No physical front courts there, no siree. On a lesser scale, how about completely dominating Mississippi State under Jans?


Why do you think Bama can't beat Florida or Tennessee?

So they beat some good teams in the preseason? It happens. They beat Gonzaga in preseason play a few years ago in Seattle.

They are just soft, can't defend, and front court guys are arse. It is what it is.

This is the basketball equivalent of “Nick Saban’s defenses struggle against qbs like Tebow, Newton, Manziel, and Watson”


He didn't lose to them every time and get blown out every time. Let's go down the list:

Purdue -arse kicked every time
Florida - arse kicked every time
Duke - arse kicked
Arizona - arse kicked
UConn - arse kicked
Tennessee - arse kicked almost every time
Even mediocre teams with physical front court play gives this team problems. See Texas at home a few weeks ago.

This team can't defend and the front court players are not very talented.

ystematic style offense like Arizona, Duke, Florida.


In other words, they beat the shite out of mediocre to bottom dweller teams but lose at a high clip to elite teams that are technically sound.

Glad I didn’t watch the game, had a feeling this would happen. This team is middle of the pack SEC team this year, very disappointing.


Their bigs are not very good. Got a bench player from the pros and still didn’t help.
