I have a kid in the process right now. Depending on what they offer, it could be a steal. All of you would be shocked at what I paid for camps this year.
I wouldn't. Worked with a guy that sent all three daughters to travel-ball. Softball.
One got a scholarship at the local community college. Same place I sent my girl. Tuition was about $7500 a year. Dude paid for travel ball for three girls for about six years each. All chasing a scholarship.
At some point ... just put the money back in your pocket. You can't buy your kid onto the team.

All y'all piss off.
It was a shite collapse in the second half. Was it because of a structural problem ? Because Alabama might have the best secondary in the country and our WRs are weak ?
I don't know. We'll know more this weekend. You will too.
But it was a shite second-half effort. And if that's how it goes all year ? Not good.
And we need a damn punter.

There's also the elephant in the room that says that us rushing only 3 or 4 is a bad idea... We'll we were able to get away with it that game. We won't next.
Its what always drove me nuts about the Stoops / White method. Frankly - what drives me nuts about the modern 3-4.
They had five wide formations back in the day as well, against the 4-3. So team would go dime ... one LB, six DBs. And even then ? A four man rush was considered vanilla. The minimum. And not good enough to get adequate pressure without an extremely good front four.
So now ? We rush three. Or four, with an LB not as big as an old school DE. Some day, some genius is going to get an idea. He'll put four down lineman on the field at all times. With the outside two bigger than today's inside linebacker. They'll call 'em ... I dunno', maybe a defensive end or something.
re: Kentucky fans... whats your thoughts on our game this weekend?

I have no expectation of a win. I'll be happy if they keep it around the spread of 10.5 14 wouldn't be awful.
The offense is improved, but we don't know by how much. We will after 'Bama. We know very little about the defense. They played without both starting corners - and stayed very soft on the edges because of it.
Its very much a measuring stick game for Kentucky. All we know after Youngstown State is "they're better". By a little or a lot is tough to say.
One thing I can say. Stein was a definite upgrade from Stoops. No doubt in my mind.

And really ... who can argue with that Tour de Force of logic and exposition right there ?

Dumb arse.
Fastest Driving School ? Georgia. What is your point, exactly ?
Want to do relegation and swap out Kentucky for another Power Football School ? You know ? I'm about at the point where I say go ahead.
Because some of you pinheads ... and you are definitely pinhead number one ... can't get it through your cro-magnon skulls that no matter how great the football teams are ? For every game ... somebody has to win, and somebody has to lose.
So go ahead. Hell - get the twenty best Football Teams in the country under one tent. One of you dumb son of a bitches will still have to be the worst team in the conference.

In all honesty ? This Yell Leader thing on the road ? With the night before pep rally ?
Only school I can think this would turn out worse is West Virginia. Lexington Police will be out, in force, for this.

When you're own fans say stop being a dick ? Its a waste of time ... because you're a dick.
I should have started a thread about how West Virginia would sweep their regional. This is on me, really. Lazy. Didn't do the obvious.
Sorry, Cats.
Sorry, Cats.
Don't have the game on here. But I brought up a 'Bama jersey for sale that's digital camo with the script Alabama in red on the chest.
Is that the jersey ?
Because that's not a "bad" look. Although I think a digital camo with various reds and whites would be a lot better. Maybe with a script 'Bama in black across the chest. Just for the jersey. White pants.

OK ... I will. I get that you hate them. They hate you right back.
I hate Louisville. Don't even drive there - and I only live thirty minutes away. If I can't buy it here - I don't go to Louisville to get it for damn sure.
I also don't start threads about them. Because other than "how to avoid them" - I don't think about them.
Stop obsessing over them. Then maybe they'll stop obsessing over you.
What an implosion
Why are you watching the Kentucky / West Virginia game ? Either of the last two ?

Some may differ ... this kind of baseball I find incredibly entertaining. Neither team quits. No lead is safe.
Been a great post-season all the way around so far.

But would it have hit the green at Augusta on the 16th ? Would Hamlin have been able to make that move off Three at Charlotte ?
Who gives a shite. Some of you really fixate on some weird, weird shite.

What about all the players that no longer have the opportunity to go to college because programs are shut down?
What about them, frankly ?
So you can hit a ball with a stick ? Or jump high ? Or run fast ?
Tell me why you should get a college education ? Why, exactly, is your hit ball with stick or jump high or run fast skill so beneficial to society that we need to pass you on to a college degree ?
At least if you go ROTC its because you owe years to Uncle Sam. Makes sense. If your grades are really good and Company XYZ wants to endow a scholarship its because they intend on hiring your smart arse.
But you hit the ball or jump high or run fast ? Where is the benefit ? Although Georgia should probably start a Race Driving Team.

Were they cheating and paying players before then?
YES !!! Yes they were. Paying players. Building them dorms until that wasn't allowed. Permitting them to run wild in Lexington - which is why Lex Police are so anti-student now.
Yes. Kentucky was paying ball players. They, like Indiana, Louisville, and some others ... just started doing it first. They wanted to win at hoops earlier than most others.
UCLA beat everybody to this.

Oh No ... what will you ever do if boys ain't popping pads in the fall on the tube ? Where will you place your bets ? What event will you plan the entire day around ?
I just don't care. Really don't.

As you say, the innocent players had no other options. It was either play for Nick Saban or die.
As soon as the transfer rules opened up ? They started transferring.
Again - I'll say it - NIck was the best. Until we got to pay above the table and college kids became free agents. You know - like everybody else in real life.
And then Nick's message just didn't work. No more than if your Boss started preaching all this "don't think about yourself - commit to the team" crap. Doesn't work in the real world. Not when people have self-agency. Not when people are free to find their own best deal.
