re: SEC Rushing Yard Leaders entering Week 5
Posted by NWLA_Bama on 9/28/26 at 9:50 am to Go Go Gata
Baugh is a beast of a runnnig back. However, unfortunately for us old school fans who love to have a RB with a lot of yards, there are more and more coaches who implement running back by committee. So, the yards get divided. Alabama has two young freshmen RB's that have 1,000 yard rusher written all over them, but not only do they split carries between each other, they split carries with a third back as well. And in some games, we use four.

re: More embarrassing lost: OU or A&M?

aTm, in my opinion. After watching Mateer QB last season there was nothing about how he played that pointed to them being anything above an 8 win team. Granted, aTm's QB isn't the second coming of Jayden Daniels either but I felt like their offense would be head and shoulders better than OU's.

Saban cited NIL why he was ready to retire, and the portal.
Even if he did it didn't mean he was scared. Everytime rules changed to hurt what Nick did best, he adapted and still won. He did it over and over. The guy was 72 years and had already won 7 NC's. He didn't feel like going through a new change and having to adapt again, he'd already been there and done that. If he were ten years younger, he would have stayed in the game, adapted and won more national championships. That's what winners do.

Do you actually believe Sam Pittman was a "stable" coach? You apparently haven't looked at his seasons at Arkansas. He onlyhad ONE good year and that was his second year. It was all down hill after that. You don't keep a coach with a .485 winning % and call it "stable".

Clearly he’s not a cultural fit in Tuscaloosa. He literally looks and sounds uncomfortable just talking to the press. He’s a West Coast/Pac12/NFL guy. No way he’s still here in two years.
Granted the easy thing to point to for him bailing from Tuscaloosa the first time is "He had the NFL call. He had to answer." But in reality, two things can be true at the same time. There were rumblings his wife had major reservations about moving to the South and if "mama" ain't happy, nobody is going to be happy. So, it wasn't a very hard decision when the NFL gig opened up, it could have been a well timed life line for him. But when he got fired in Seattle, maybe Tuscaloosa didn't look as bad compared to the other choices he may have been staring at.
But it does come across as there may be a cultural compatibility issue with him and Tuscaloosa.
No doubt he will. I would say if I'm hiring the guy I'd be worried about his temperament, but if Will Muschamp got several coaching jobs, I guess anybody can.

Gmac said the KY changed everything on defense when they played us.
They went from a soft zone to being very aggressive.
And basically same with fsu. They had a week off and made big changes to their defense.
So if back to back teams did this, did they do it beecause of something they're seeing on film? Apparently so or they wouldn't have made the drastic changes.

Once the offense gets adjusted and on their feet, they're hell on wheels, there's no doubt about that. I just don't know what's causing them at the beginning of games to look so out of sorts.
re: Like him or not, DeBoer was the best pick and it's not really close.

He was the most qualified hire that was available. So, I'm not sure what anyone would think Byrne would have done otherwise. He hired the best guy that was actually available.

Have you not seen the Paawwwwwl Finebaum show? LOL! That type of format works brilliantly.
No argument from me about the backs. They definitely weren't elite by any stretch of the imagination. An elite running back can definitely help an OL. I just enjoy watching Daniel Hill run his big 230 lb frame through holes that he didn't have last season and gaining 7-10 yards a pop. :cheers:
It's better than the previous two years but far from a polished product. Talent all over the field, but something is causing the offense to start games like they've never seen a football then all of a sudden when the second half starts they look like a well oiled machine. I have no idea how to explain it or what's causing it. But if we don't get it fixed it will cost us some games when we play better competition.
re: Alabama enrollment surpasses 42,000 students. Largest ever.

This is not a good look at all. As the capstone university to the state, it needs to be 50%+ in state. Obviously 2011 changed a lot of Tuscaloosa but it has changed so much since I was there 06-10 that it feels like a shell of its former self.
Why are the in state numbers so low? Is it because in state kids don't want to go there or is the university just accepting less and less in state kids and putting a higher priority on out of state kids?
re: At What Point Will You Admit You Were Wrong About Pete Golding?

Pete ain’t no slouch. Listen to that man talk ball. He knows ball. Saban hired him for a reason. You don’t think saban could have had whatever D coordinator he wanted in college football?
Pete's problem never was knowing the X's and O's. Actually, that is what impressed Saban so much that he hired him. Saban said he knows the X's and O's of defense better than anyone that was that age he'd ever known. So he hired him. The problem with Pete, was always when the original game plan wasn't working and he had to adjust. He constantly struggled to adjust. Though on a white board he could "wow" you to death at how much X's and O's he knew, when the bullets starting firing in a game, he struggled to adjust when the original game plan wasn't working.
The backs are better but that is not the only big difference. Another very big difference to me is the obvious gaping holes being opened that were rarely there last year and the overall less penetration the offensive line this year is allowing. Sure, we didn't have elite backs last year, but they were good enough to run through obvious holes. Even the holes we did produce last year, there was usually a free defender already in the backfield to trip him up.
Have you ever reached out to Brooks and asked to be on the show with him? He's a very nice guy and may would allow you to come on the show and discuss.

LSU needed to win the game more than Ole Miss. LSU (don't even take Kiffin into account) invested over $40 million into this roster in the offseason THEN made the big move of bringing in Kiffin. There's huge expectations for this team THIS year. They now have a stretch of games where if they split, it should be considered good. But losing the Ole Miss game, they really can only afford to lose one game in the stretch.

You're right, Kentucky isn't a bad team at all. They're not a NC team but they aren't your daddy's Kentucky of old either. They have a lot better athletes and though Stein is young and full of pi$$ and vinegar, he's a good coach. Aggies, as usual, show why Texas is their big brother. They just crap their pants at the most unexpected times.

When you're making the type of money those two are, for literally coaching a game, while the real adults of the world go to jobs everyday that actually keep the world turning. Would you really care about some rivalry? I bet they both are checking their bank balances and laughing at both fanbases.
