re: Chipper Jones hates your team

I hate it at a level that I can’t describe I coach 15-17 yr olds and I’m miserable.
It's not changing anytime soon either. Most of the kids are more worried about wearing the latest "drip" and their "online presence" than they are about playing the game.

Chipper played on the back end of a baseball culture that no longer exists. So a lot of the "stuff" that he sees going on in the game today was simply non-existent and not allowed. I've listened to podcasts of players from the 80's, 90's and early 00's, and they sound just like Chipper. They're not used to the new baseball culture.

The transfer portal is driving a lot of it, in my opinion. There are so many HS kids who, before the transfer portal, would have gotten P4 scholarships, having to go the JUCO route or to non-P4 schools, because these P4 schools are investing in transfers more than HS recruits. So there's A LOT of talent being "pushed down" to non P4 schools and even the JUCO level that is making those teams more competitive than ever before.

“I gotta tell you, we had a meeting, (LSU administrators) said, ‘Coach, things are not going well,’” Orgeron recalled. “(I said) ‘No, shite. Ray Charles could see that brother.’
“And Scott Woodward is a friend of mine today, really. Lot of respect for the way that they handled me. He said ‘Coach, you got 17.1 million dollars on your contract; we’re going to give it to you.’
“I said, ‘What time you want me to leave and what door do you want me out of brother?’”
When Orgeron lost, he still won.

re: An 8 Team Schedule

Is it true that the Iron Bowl and Third Saturday in October rivalries are in jeopardy if we do not go to a 9 game conference schedule? I thought I saw some internet fodder on that over the past couple of days, but didn't know how true it was.

Alabama was a 4th and 31 away from losing to a 6 win Auburn team that had just lost got blown out by New Mexico St(with the now Vandy QB) and missing the playoffs completely.
It would have been Saban's first loss to an unranked team since like 2007.
And then they beat Georgia the next week by the same score.
The pattern was already there. Talent and entitlement. Also only beat Arkansas(4-8) by 3, A&M(7-6) by 6, etc.
That's what I'm talking about. Those are three games that could have easily been a loss rather than wins. We struggled in games against teams that we should have blown out. But the problems we had this past year were also present in 2024. We just had the ball bounce our way enough to pull out the win.

then DeBoer crumbles what he built in a season.
In fairness to DeBoer, many of the problems the team had offensively this season were also present last season. The difference is that Saban was just that good of a coach that he was able to make enough adjustments to not drop but one regular-season game. But there were games that season that we just as easily (and probably should have) could have lost. But again, Saban was just that great of a coach.
Anyone we hired after Saban was going to be a drop-off. There was not one coach we could have hired that there wouldn't have been a drop off in some form. It's why Saban was the GOAT. Last year's team was one of Saban's best coaching jobs he did while at Alabama. If it had been anyone else we would have lost several more games.

The one on the left is definitely the worse of the two, but the one on the right isn't much better.

So there is more than one whistler? I don't see how their fanbase, who attend games, tolerate it. I couldn't imagine paying for a ticket and having to sit through that crap the entire time.

That’s the difference. Deboar coached non scholarship DIII for the overwhelming majority of his career. Then an OC for a season or 2 the a head coach for a season or two. He doesn’t have the knowledge or the connections to build a staff or recruit players. He needs a general manager to do everything but the stuff his staff (picked by the GM) does.
Everyone is having to hire a "GM" to handle the financial side of the NIL deals. Coaches simply do not have the time to do that and coach football. This position isn't unique to DeBoer's staff, you do realize that, don't you?

I wish he'd choke on his tongue while he's whistling. I can't even watch the game it's so annoying.

Did I miss something in the news? What has Kiffin done to be a "detriment" to their program? It looks to me he's made them about as relevant as they've been in 50 years.

Same as a pitcher mouthing off to a batter after a strikeout. Just more pointless shite.
That crap didn't happen as much when the players were allowed to police the game and pitchers had to hit. But now, with all the "safety" rules it's given players more courage to act an a$$ because they know they're not going to be ear-holed at the plate anymore.

I fully agree. I'm sure the dad had legitimate reasons to be upset. But getting on social media and venting is a horrible look for a grown man, especially a Dad. It's just not a good look and could possibly do more harm than good to his son in the long run.

14 hits will do that. They're hammering our pitching, and we're sitting at 5 hits.
