re: “The Decision”

A personal gripe of mine is when the announcers blather on about some personal interest story. while neglecting to state the upcoming down and distance.
The riots have already started in Italy. The same pattern of burning,, attacking police, looting, Marxist banners, etc.
New facilities cost money, and Bama upgraded a lot. It was a competitive advantage in recruiting before the NIL era, pretty much just a drain on resources now.
Georgia wasn't playing on the road with a first year starting QB.
While we were playing the toughest team in the conference last week, Tennessee was playing the weakest (and not looking great). They were rested and extra prepared for this game. Same situation for Georgia, Auburn had a bye week to get ready for them. Call it coping, but that's the size of it.

FSU has no pass rush to speak of, and their tackling is atrocious.
Definitely utilizing my binocular vision.

Lawson Luckie



Is that a nickname?


No, it's his given name. He was mighty lucky with one of his catches against Vanderbilt this past weekend, though. He's an elite TE, we recruited him pretty heavily out of high school.

I like our defense’s ability to stop the run, and do not feel like Georgia has a WR who our CB’s cannot handle 1vs1.



Lawson Luckie has the potential to give us some problems, I don't know about their WRs.

Their right tackle false started almost every passing play

I thought that he was frequently offsides, too. It made a lot of their plays look like something was wrong.

Shouldn't it have been a penalty on the play where Hill fumbled? The player that stripped the ball was participating without a helmet. Pretty sure I've seen that penalized before.

[quote]Bama has Loyd 3 more years, Carroll at least 2, Haywood 3, Sanders 2, and look how well proven 22-23 year old OL are doing compared to 18-19 year olds.[/quote

Lloyd and Carroll were both in last years recruiting class. They could each potentially have 3 more years, or could jump to the NFL after the end of next year (assuming another team doesn't tamper them into the portal first).

No, I think Fawn's brother was killed in the same kiln explosion.

Just a guess, but maybe they now slide Kaden Strayhorn (from Michigan) over from LG,or at least let him get reps at both guard spots in practice? We already have Waldrep and Fretwell behind Sanders there if needed


Has Fretwell recovered from his injury enough yet to possibly contribute? I haven't heard how he's doing so far.
Trump probably has more money than all of Congress combined, so that sounds about right.
There was a definite drop in Saban's ability to sign top defensive linemen during his last few years. Several factors in play: loss of Kirby (and his competing for Bama targets), desperate coaches ( Jimbo Fisher, cough. cough) opening up their pocketbooks.
quote:

If we have any guys get a targeting penalty in the second half of a game and they are suspended for the first half of the next game, they should sue and get an injunction so they can play. We’re handing out injunctions like we’re Oprah anyway.


I think they've already changed the rule on that this year?

That's how the country ends up with President Ted Bundy and VP Charles Manson. Not voting for a less than perfect Republican candidate is the same as voting for an even worse Democrat.

So he's saying that Alabama is not broke.... That goes against what everyone was saying on this board for months ... Bama is broke. They can't afford this and that.


Bama's not broke. They just aren't in the upper tier of NIL money. About 7 or 8 teams have significantly more NIL. If it comes down to money, and it mostly does, Bama can't usually afford to outbid those teams for a prospect. Texas, Oregon, etc., get whoever they want right off the bat. Nothing Morgan said contradicted that.
