I'm not trying to justify anything. College sports and the NCAA is a fricking clown show at this point.

If something so egregious happened, could the NCAA dole out another death penalty?
frick no. At this point, the NCAA is hanging by a thread. They'd sooner get on their knees and suck Greg Sankey's dick than even attempt to put an SEC school on probation.

But think about this recent Pete Golding case. If the NCAA finds that he broke every tampering rule in the book, what in the frick are they gonna do about it?
It's hard to imagine them serving any punishment worse than a measly 6-figure fine.

The only reliable enforcement lever they have is to limit the kid’s eligibility.
No, because as we've seen, if an alumni judge disagrees with the NCAA, it's case closed.

The NCAA has never had authority. It's a voluntary organization, not a government organization. Anyone is free to leave at any time.
Yeah, but obviously no one is doing that.
My question is if they have any authority over any of the schools that are a part of the NCAA, because it doesn't seem like it anymore.

I'm not much of an expert on this subject, but it seems like there are no NCAA rules that can't be broken at this point since the NCAA has no ability to enforce any punishments.
All you have to do is go to a local alumni judge, and you're good to do whatever the hell you want.
Am I getting this right?

re: CKD Offense
Posted by UAClassOf22 on 1/23/26 at 3:26 pm to Cover1Key
I've tried to explain this to the doubters so many times.
In 2 years at Alabama, the glaring issue under CKD has been the offense looking like a steaming pile of dogshit.
It got better in year 2 without turnover machine Milroe, but this past season the offense never developed an identity or consistency. There was nothing we could lean on - something we dependably do well.
CKD is an offensive coach like Sark or Kiffin. He's arguably a better offensive coach than those guys.
He was hired because of what he did at Washington, and our offense in 2 seasons hasn't even remotely resembled that Washington offense. The question is: Why?
To blame Grubb is retarded, because he was the one with him at Washington as his OC. Saban wanted Grubb. The NFL wanted Grubb, and he had pretty good success with the Seahawks.
So what's been the issue the last 2 years? What's the most obvious difference between that vaunted Washington offense and what we've seen?
Easy - the QB. Milroe and Simpson couldn't hold a candle to Michael Penix Jr. in the passing game - not even close.
Milroe was a RB playing QB, and Simpson was a gangly, anxious head case without much zip on his passes, and supposedly he was injured throughout the season but who knows. Simpson was a massive improvement from Milroe, but nothing close to Penix Jr.
Suffice it to say, CKD and Grubb would've NEVER recruited Milroe, and probably wouldn't have even recruited Simpson.
Whereas Penix was THEIR guy.
2026 will be the first year we will have a DeBoer guy at QB, and DeBoer personnel all over the offense via the portal and 2 full recruiting classes.
You saw it with Austin Mack vs. Indiana. Although the team was mostly tapped out already, he comes in the game and produces our only points on his first drive. You saw the zip on the ball. You immediately saw a throw that Simpson wasn't capable of.
That zip down the field, that arm strength is what the DeBoer offense DEPENDS on.
DeBoer uses the pass to set up the run. The offense centers around the pass.
When you don't have a dude who can reliably rip the ball 30 yards downfield on a rope, the DeBoer offense simply doesn't work.
The QB position will no longer be an issue for this offense. We will have a QB that actually fits the scheme. We will have linemen that actually fit the scheme, and we'll have RBs who don't suck.
The offensive roster had to be totally overhauled, and 2026 will be the first season we will even get to see the DeBoer offense in action.

Evaluations - The Name of the Game
Posted by UAClassOf22 on 1/20/26 at 7:40 pm
It could be said at this point that evaluations are king.
Cignetti won because he was able to evaluate a bunch of amazing older 3-stars that nobody else wanted, and built a championship team.
It's all about roster building and roster management now.
Most top programs have around the same money to spend. Alabama is in the top 10.
It's about spending the money wisely and finding great players for cheap.
I believe in this staff. I think they can get it done. The only weakness I've seen so far (If you can call it that) is that KDB cared about the players that were already here, so he didn't wanna replace the roster through the portal like Cig did.
He's loyal to the guys already here, and maybe that's a weakness, but we're gonna soon find out how well this staff can evaluate with these new portal additions.

What Do You Think About Our Portal Additions?
Posted by UAClassOf22 on 1/17/26 at 10:11 pm
It seems like our staff is taking their time to evaluate, rather than freaking the frick out like all the fans, and rushing to give some prima donna $3-5 million.
If our staff has one strong suit it's evaluations. In my opinion our current staff evaluates better than the Saban staff in their last several years.
But I haven't been following too closely. Have we gotten some guys that can start on the LOS?
Do you think we're doing well with portal additions, or did they drop the ball like many said early on?

re: Who is the best football player on the roster?
Posted by UAClassOf22 on 1/17/26 at 1:32 pm to SECSolomonGrundy
I'm gonna say Dijon Lee. I also think he's our best option at punt returner going forward.
The kid is a freak of nature, he made a lot of huge plays as a true freshman. Inevitable first round pick.
Probably him and ZB are the most surefire first round locks on our current roster

Tayden Kaawa has the 2nd best HS film after Keelon Russell. Don't sleep on the 6'5" Hawaiian. Super under-the-radar QB but had offers from Oregon and Washington. He's a beast. I like him better than Jett Thomalla

If you're so worried, then donate your entire savings to our NIL fund.
Otherwise, just sit back like me and try to enjoy the utter shitshow that is college athletics now.

Then why did the staff go after him?
To shore up depth at the position.
If Crowell can learn quickly enough to play as a Freshman, he has the physical skillset to be better than Smothers.
Otherwise Daniel Hill and AK Dear aren't bad options. We should be fine.

Actual coaches: "Please don't declare and come to us"
He'd be great in an offense for which he was recruited. An offense based on ball control, running the ball, short to intermediate passing.
A team that wants a game manager at QB would love Ty.
In this offense we need a rocket-armed gunslinger who just lets it rip downfield. No anxiety.

It's irrelevant regardless.
All of our fancy facilities, Cryotherapy chamber, sensory deprivation tanks, weight room, nutritionists, players lounge, fancy lockers, etc.
ALL OF IT IS IRRELEVANT.
The only thing that matters now is $$$. How much are you gonna pay a player - that's all that matters. The top QB in the nation would just as soon go to Grambling State if the money was right.
