re: If you're a 5 star HS recruit, don't really care about the NFL where do you go?
Posted by NWLA_Bama on 5/15/26 at 10:26 am to Amarillo Tide
If I'm a 5 star kid coming out of HS with no aspirations of going to the NFL, I am getting as sweet of a deal on the front end as I possibly can.

I definitely think it will be on Golding.
Losing to LSU in Kiffin's first year will be very bad for Ole Miss.
Their inevitable decline would escalate with a loss.
Hands down, it is Kiffin. The hype and money that has been dumped into LSU since his arrival is off the charts. Golding isn't expected to win a title. Everyone EXPECTS Ole Miss' program to decline under Golding. So how in the world is the pressure on him?

Walmart,
The current owners of Wal Mart or what's left of the Walton family that has any say-so in Wal Mart has stated they will gladly continue to give to the school from an academic level but they are not going to just dump endless money into the football program. So, there's nothing the AD or the President at Arkansas can do.

I think the opposite can happen. Coaching and scouting for talent will become more valued. We see it in the nfl.
But the difference is, once the NFL team scouts and develops the player, they can lock the guy up with a contract. That currently cannot happen on the college level. A college staff may get one year out of the guy until he becomes noticed and now the team is fighting deeper pockets with zero leverage.

But the problem is agents like Sexton are able to create rumors in the market that the AD's can't prove or disprove. They have to gamble that those rumors are true, and make a move or gamble they're not and do nothing. Both moves have their risks.

My guess is, Williams would have never come up with or even considered this type of lawsuit on his own. The vultures that are called lawyers made a visit to Williams house.

That’s actually one reason why I’m for the players. A lot of people their age are making bank doing things that require a hell of a lot less talent and work than playing major college football at a high level.
I'm "for the players" as well, just not at the expense of potentially ruining the game, or should I say ruining the game for me.

After hearing Nick Saban's interview this week about his thoughts on CKD's extension. I get the feeling Byrne thought there was real interest in CKD entertaining other schools and leaving. It was how CNS worded his answer that made me think that.

We can't hit, we can't field, we don't have a dominant pitching staff. This team just isn't built for postseason baseball
Is this because of lack of talent or lack of coaching? Do have pitchers on the roster who have the ability to be dominant do we have guys whose talent is more tier 2 than tier 1? Because that matters. Players matter. Talent matters. I can understand why LSU fans are ticked at their coach because they were supposed to be one of the top teams in the country due to the talent level on their roster. But do we have that type of talent on our roster?

Yeah, saw that too. If that's true, I'm sure he was saying that to display confidence and hope it "caught on" with the teams interviewing him. It more than likely came across about as good as a turd in a punch bowl.
I guess I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you were saying though the times of the games have changed, the game itself has not changed. Which I disagreed with. If you didn't mean that, my apologies.I guess I'm not following what you're saying. :cheers:

At present I don't think it's apples to apples though. Whether you play at 1pm in front of only the stands or at 3:30 in front of millions on TV, the actual game itself is still the same.
I'm not so sure about that. If you have a chance, watch some games in the 70's, 80's and up to the mid 90's, then fast forward to around 2010 and forward and let me know what you notice. There should be a noticeable difference in how the game is played and that is due to rule changes. They have subtly and not so subtly changed the rules as it pertains to offense and defense, that how the game is played has definitely changed.

For fans who followed the game before the portal, this is a sad thing. But as time passes and more fans become fans under the current landscape, it will be their normal and see nothing wrong with it. The rest of us will be just the old guys standing in our lawn screaming at the clouds.
re: Imo after 3 seasons lane will realize LSU
Posted by NWLA_Bama on 4/16/26 at 11:44 am to partsman103
I think Lane will be successful, but what Lane's not going to do is dominate. No one is going to "dominate" anymore. The transfer portal and NIL has now all but guaranteed that. Program "success" is going to have to be redefined for fanbases like Alabama, Ohio St, LSU, etc. But especially the Alabama fanbase who got used to Saban's dominant run of success. That type of success is not going to happen again, not only for Alabama but any other program.
re: Byrne wants to do away with SEC Championship Game

In the current landscape of the playoffs, it is harder to make a case for the conference championship game than for it. Too much downside to it for both teams.

If it is the same format as last season, I won't be there. Not worth my time.

Classic Spurrier, and he's right. Dabo forgot to read the memo.

Nick is the one who hired the guy we still currently have because under Cochran, we were having too many major injuries. Nick went a different direction with the S&C program and we've sacrificed strength and power for not having as many major season ending injuries.
But there's no doubt that in the latter part of Saban's tenure and the first two years of DeBoer's, our team, especially the offensive line, isn't anywhere as phsyical as years past. The common denomiator is we have the same S&C when it started declining under Saban and the first two years of DeBoer.
