I know it wasn't open to the public but I'm kind of surprised some of our insiders who were probably there haven't posted about today. The only thing I have "heard" (FWIW) is Ryan Coleman-Williams had 3TDs today and Noah Rogers had 1 TD today.

Obviously, we're never gonna see exact stats but I would be very curious to hear the impressions of any of our insiders may have had if they were in attendance.

Anybody?

I remember that Villanova-Georgetown game. It was like EVERYTHING Villanova threw up went in the hoop. Even crazy, off balance wild shots that should never have gone in did. Villanova probably could have beaten Magic Johnson and the Lakers that night.

Hell, Hugh Freeze was EGREGIOUSLY cheating his gonads off at Ole Miss, double dog dared anyone to turn him in and when it happened and he got caught red handed, he basically got away with it.

Yet Pruitt, who probably did less has been crucified and never forgiven. Makes perfect sense. :rolleyes:
I would love to see the scrimmage because I think it will give us a good look at how much improved (hopefully) the blocking is. The fact CKD acknowledged just how bad the O line performance was and brought in a new O line coach is cause for hope.

I don't care what the sport is, Bama should NEVER, EVER be at the bottom of the barrel in the SEC when it comes to spending on a sport. Not saying UA should be spending insane amounts of money on non revenue sports but to be THAT far in last is wrong.
Was watching a You Tube video from Landon Langwell on this guy (James). He thinks he's really solid and has some good technique. Has some concerns about a few bad habits he has but says overall, he could be solid for Bama with some cleaning up on his technique. Watching those clips from last year at MSU, the O line there was pretty bad.

I will say, with just a decent, not great but decent O line last year, Bama wins at least two more games, IMO. I may be wrong but I'm cautiously optimistic this O line can be at least decent, maybe even pretty good this Fall.

I also think better/more consistent blocking from everyone else (TEs, WRs and even RBs in pass protection) has got to be improved and I believe they'll be at least some better, maybe a lot better this Fall.

This would be my choice. (Carly Thibault DuDonis) Solid hire. Young, energetic and seems to be a really good coach.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Byrne hire this lady-

But, "Ty can't throw a deep ball" according to some of our "experts" on here. :rolleyes:

The WNBA is still (financially) all smoke and mirrors that's critically dependent on massive hand outs from the NBA. Not exactly a stable and sustainable business process.

I wish her well. I don't know if she was ever going to make Bama a consistent top ten team but the depths she brought the program back from was impressive. People tend to forget that when she came along, Bama was probably the worst team in the SEC and in the entire country.

I don't have a clue who Byrne will hire but I hope it's someone younger who has some fire in the belly
Carroll could probably play literally every spot on the OL but IMO, guard would seem to be his more natural position. Of course, that's just my guess.
Unless we get fisted by the refs in Knoxville like we were a couple of years ago, I just don't see us losing to them. They have no QB and lost some really good players.

We have a sizable segment of our fan base that scream for Madonna but answer me this, if she’s such an amazing coach, why has literally NO Division I school even interviewed her for a job? Doesn’t that kind of make you wonder?
Not so sure about that. It sounds like he refuses to put any work in in the weight room. He weighs pretty much the same weight for the past two years, 205 lbs. Yes, he can put on weight but he'd need to add at least 40 lbs to be effective as an edge rusher in the SEC.

I have to wonder if he's also more interested in chasing the bag. Maybe. Maybe not.
I know Danny Lewis, in his 12th year of playing for Bama is a senior but I have to figure at least two of the other TEs will transfer after this year because we'll have something like 8 TEs on scholarship with this kid.

I just watched it. Sloppy first half, loved the improved intensity in the second. I know it’s a contact sport but I felt like Hofstra was kind a of a dirty team with quite a few forearms to our guys faces yet no calls by the refs.

Still, a good win. RTR.
Tell me you’re a stoner without telling me you’re a stoner.
We’ve always had a segment of our fan base that will always make every excuse under the sun for any of our players, no matter what they did, even if it’s terrible.

“He didn’t get an ice cream cone when he was five and that caused him to murder that entire bus load of nuns.”

“Yeah, what he did was bad but he’s found Jesus.”

“Everybody breaks the law. Laws are optional.”

No, this guy didn’t murder anyone but the point is the moral/ethical contortions some here will go through to justify no consequences for this guy.

I don’t have a clue what will happen but I hope he doesn’t get any special treatment just because he can play basketball. A fair trial and let the chips fall where they may.

I know I’ll be downvoted to the moon but I don’t care.
If (and that’s a big IF) he can put on about 30-40 lbs, he could and probably would be an elite edge rusher at the college level. 205 lbs is nowhere big enough to be an edge rusher.
This is really bad. The kid is almost like a real life on the field Bobby Boucher from "The Water Boy". I'm guessing it's 100 per cent NIL related and if so, UA needs to figure something out. I hate to use "can't miss prospect" but this guy has put up absurd sack and TFL loss numbers in his career.

If I was to guess, I would guess Texas or TAMU or Texas Tech are waving around a giant bag of money.
