[quote]More about primetime marquee matchups than population with the new tv deals. [/quote] Respectfully, we are not talking about different things. I think we are talking about the same idea, just saying it differently. Money drives all these decisions. I think we all agree....

[quote]College athletics has just about lost me. I mean, I know this will make the team I cheer for better, but it's just stupid. Realistically how far are we from guys leaving in the middle of the season and joining another team immediately? Sounds crazy but it feels like we're closer to that than ...

[quote]Who is bandwagon fan to you? A woman who loves Bama but will go shopping when we start losing? Some dude who only roots for winners (Pete Carroll's USC, Patriots, Bama) and gets a new shirt when another team starts winning (Georgia)? The science nerd from Indiana who came to school at Bama...

Hate to be a downer, but I really think we are going to see the bandwagon empty out in short order - and a lot of our Frontrunner fans bail out…… Our last three season we went: 13-2 Won the SECC Game, and lost the NC game ONLY due to multiple key injuries; 11-2 but missed the SECC and P_ayoff...

I [b]really do [/b]hope that’s what happe...

We drive from Mobile, and usually stay in Meridian. To and from Tuscaloosa is about a 90 minute drive on a very decent stretch of interstate highway; the hotel rates are NOT raised at all on game weekends, and there is almost ZERO game day traffic coming or going....

Still there, as others have noted. I haven’t been in years. But they used to have a “jam” night and local musicians wouldn’t come and play. Occasionally you’d even see local guys who were touring with nationally known bands....

[quote]Deer antler spray, glad we got our connection back[/quote] Wow! That’s a “blast from the past”!! LOL!! When was that? Back in the 00’s?...

[quote]Exactly, I’ll never understand why folks stay way past their prime and then have an awkward exit. Plus, his comments make the university seem like the bad guy.[/quote] Uh - Spoiler: the University IS the bad guy. And It’s a effing RADIO CALL! It’s not open heart surgery or being Presid...
