I hope he’s right. It’s like the team kind of sleep walks through the first quarter.

Not what I’m saying. I’m saying is Bama could have all 5 starters on the O line could be consensus All Americans and Pollock would still claim they suck.
It’s one thing to be genuinely objective but if you’ve watched/listened to Pollock on a long term basis (and I have), the guy acts like some guy from Bama stole his girlfriend and is still butt hurt over it.
I’m not saying our O line has played well (they have been at best inconsistent) but to say they (basically) all suck is simply not true. Proctor projects as a 1st round pick. Brailsford is one of the better centers out there. Michael Carroll has struggled at times but you can see flashes of potential.

He conveniently leaves out the fact that while Brailsford is a bit undersized, he makes up for it with quickness and technique.
Pollock is such a Georgia homer, it’s literally impossible for him to have any objectivity regarding Bama.

James Smith has one more year. Keely will be back. Same with Jordan Renaud, Edric Hill, Isaiah Faga, London Simmons. Would be HUGE getting Jeremiah Beamon back from the knee injury. I’m also hoping Mboumoua will finally have the game click mentally. Dude is physically ready now, he just needs to mentally figure it out.
Nolan Wilson is currently listed at 250 lbs but if he can put on 20-25 lbs between now and next August, he could see some action if he can figure what he needs to do.
That said, it’d be huge to get a quality DE/DT in the portal.

Overton was the exception. I hate to say it but most (not all but most) of the guys we’ve gotten out of the portal are crumbs. Not sure if that’s because Bama is broke or maybe they spend the $$$ on the current roster?

I’m guessing reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit. I never said Indiana isn’t a good team, they are. I’m saying I’m surprised how many of these “experts” (sarcasm) are acting like Indiana is unbeatable, because they’re not.

I’ve always found people from western Pennsylvania to be some of the kindest and most genuine people you could meet. Never had any of them have the northern arrogance you often find on other places up north.

This ^^^^^^^. The state of Alabama will ALWAYS have the civil rights era held against them for all eternity. What I find comical is 99% of the media types who feel this way have never stepped foot in Alabama and have zero idea about anything about the state as it is now.
I've met countless people from up North and the west coast who honest to God think we don't have paved roads and in door plumbing.

Was watching a segment from SEC This Morning and Cheatnick seems pretty adamant Indiana is going to beat the crap out of Bama.
He may be right but if he’s not, I guarantee you he won’t have the balls to come back and admit he was wrong.
As I was watching, I was thinking “There’s a reason you’re not a coach anymore, genius.”.

He's been horribly under utilized by Ravens most of, if not all of his career there. It's like owning a Kentucky Derby winner and using him as a plow horse on a farm.

Was watching a brief clip of Rich Eisen's podcast on You Tube and he had Todd McShay and McShay says he thinks there's something to the CKD to Michigan rumors.
Granted, McShay freely admitted he grew up a Michigan fan and has family ties in the past to Michigan, so I'm not sure just objective he can be here.
Now, before anyone gets their bowels in an uproar and starts having epileptic seizures over me mentioning this, this is NOT my opinion or what I want or hope for. Just mentioning what I saw.

Meh. I get it that the media and ESPN LOOOOOOOOVE the movie "Hoosiers" (I do too TBH) where some team that no one has heard of with players no one has heard of but play with a lot of pluck come in and knock off the big boys.
But that's just not reality 99.999999 percent of the time. The fact is schools like Tulane or JMU or Jax State almost never can compete against the big guys and usually get blown out.
I'm not against a G5 school getting in per se but they need to show that during the season that they can knock off a good opponent or two in the OOC schedule and win their conference. So, schools like Tulane need to start scheduling and BEATING teams like Ohio State or Alabama or Georgia.
If they can do that and win their conference, I'm all for those type schools getting a spot. Until then, NO.

I loved CNS and will always treasure the memories but those days are gone forever with NIL. The landscape has changed so much, NIL can dramatically improve a team overnight (e.g. Texas Tech). It’s really difficult if not impossible to go undefeated in the SEC anymore.
My personal opinion is there’s still a bit of a learning curve for CKD in terms of what will work in the SEC and what won’t. I also think he’s going to replace the offensive line into a quicker more athletic group. The days of these 340 lb O linemen is over after this year.

I never said anything about race and never said you did either. I do think you have a vendetta against the guy for some weird reason and absolutely refuse to give him credit for ANYTHING. Not saying Ty is or has been perfect but he's nowhere near as bad as you claim he is.

Give me a freaking break. Historically, Bama has been hosed CONSTANTLY by the refs. And I'm sorry but the catch by Germie was just that, a catch.
Tebow is still butt hurt over getting beat in the SECCG and him blubbering on the sidelines like a baby. IMO, he thought he was somehow "entitled" to win all his games because of his religion.
I don't know what's going to happen with this run but honestly, in the event CKD encounters any of these goobers (Joey Galloway, Tebow, Finebaum, etc) who have talked crap about him and the program, I hope he gives them an icy stare and gives them as little information as possible.

They have a good team, no doubt about it but I hope they think they can just walk out on the field and Alabama will just roll over.

No, Y Star is clueless and literally wrong about everything he’s ever said or even thought. The guy blames Ty for EVERYTHING that goes wrong this season. He lets his weird vendetta he has against Ty to cloud any ability to think rationally when it comes to Ty.
Ty HAS thrown deep balls before tonight. Some were not well thrown but some were just flat out dropped by the receivers.

If you mean get a guy or two from the portal, I agree. If you mean many of the our current O line players should hit the portal, disagree.
I refuse to believe all or most of our current O linemen are busts. Most of these guys are former 4-5 star recruits. It HAS to be the coaching and development. Been saying this for weeks, Kapilovic needs to be fired as soon as the season is over.
Not saying improved O line play would solve all of our issues but it would dramatically help.

LOL. No one and I do mean NO ONE is “intimidated” by Y Star. Most of us are incredulous at his goofy takes on literally everything.
