re: Oklahoma this weekend - not a good match up

Venables having two weeks to prepare after dominating Tennessee in Knoxville.
450+ total yards and nearly 400 yards passing for TN. You might want to rethink your Chicken Little line of thinking. It was always going to be a tough game, but they’re no more of a matchup nightmare than UGA or Vandy.

have top seed Ohio State beating Georgia while #2 Indiana defeats Alabama.
Ohio State and Indiana would each have 2 or more losses with either Bama or Georgias schedule.
Both teams are good but have no resume to suggest they are better than any top SEC school right now

I question whether some of yall even watch the games. Talty has shanked one kicked.
He’s not missed inside of 40, right down the pipe on his extra points, and this all in his first year.
This narrative that he is Cade Foster 2.0 is simply silly at this point.

Pretty sure it was “ALABAMA” in white letters through the 90s. It was pretty basic and no color background.

Where have they been the last 2 years?
It seems kind of silly for the SEC to suggest Bama and Miss. St should be permanent rivals after not scheduling them for 2 straight years.
For the record, I agree with including them on Bamas permanent opponents. It’s just more SEC front office buffoonery.
re: What’s the issue with the running game?
Posted by SECFan413 on 9/14/25 at 6:56 am to Robot Santa
Judging by the number of free defenders on almost every run, I’d say the run schemes aren’t the greatest.
You’ve got OL and TEs not holding their blocks or getting to the next level too, but there does not seem to be a concerted effort to establish the run game. Rather it appears to just be used as a means to setup the pass at this stage.

Honestly, he was limited before the injury. He's a great shooter, but was never really athleticly gifted. I think some are kind of over-hyping what he was/is.
This is definitely true. He’s a sensational spot up shooter, but his handle is not that great and Bama would be in serious trouble if he was tasked with being a main ball handler in late game situations.
quote:
but some of the hype for mid-major transfers has been over the top the past couple years.
Sears, Nelson, Estrada, Wrightsell, Youngblood, and Bruner have all been key pieces, if not the key pieces on teams that won the SEC or made it to the Elite 8 and Final 4.
You could make the argument that it’s been the high major transfers that have disappointed more. Guys like Burnett and Cliff underperformed.
quote:
I can't remember which game or the player but Bama did fake an injury this year. Just goes to show you what's going on here now.
Not saying it was OK, but pretty sure it was during a play in which the referees had improperly managed a substitution by the other team.
It seems like this new rule still leaves some wiggle room for teams to take advantage. Hopefully it does crackdown on some of it though.

Well, that’s exactly what they’re getting because they do deserve it… at least from an entertainment standpoint. And that’s what college football is: entertainment. It isn’t just the brand that brings in the cash. It is also having highly talented players that fans can follow on their way to the NFL.
This is what every athlete wants to believe but it just isn’t true.
Ryan Williams cannot transfer to Alabama A&M and expect to receive the same level of exposure or demand. Nico can gladly transfer to Tennessee Tech, and me and the other 20 people who come to the games will love watching him, but his NIL funds from Goodys ain’t flowing in at the same rate as they are from the collective in Knoxville.
The athletes deserve a cut of the revenue but less than 1% can actually make a claim to move the needle on creating actual value for their school. It is generally the school creating the value for 99% of the players.

Jarin Stevenson —-> Donyell Marshall
Jarin is the 2nd coming of Robert Horry- especially Horry in the NBA.
Both are undersized bigs that can guard smaller guys and occasionally use their length against taller guys. Both look like a baby giraffe when they try and drive, and both can knock down 3s.
re: Labaron Philon or JD Davison

He’s been solid but really, over Sears and Lewis?
Sears is an incredible guard, but as a pure PG, he is not as formidable. Philon is a better distributor and when Philon gets deep into the lane he’s much craftier than Sears at finishing.
Lewis was fast and maybe more dynamic in the open floor, but Philon is more polished and a better defender.
Lewis on this current team would be awesome to watch though.
If you switch their supporting casts, it could switch people’s opinions.
Personally, I think Philon is incredible and the best PG Bamas had since Sexton. JD unfortunately had to play with less around him. Philon was the much better penetrator. For as athletic as JD was, he struggled to get past defenders.

It’s kind of weird to see a first team all conference team that would lose to every other teams regular starting five.
One big man and 4 pgs doesn’t seem like a typical all conference team.

So you saw the SEC being historically the best conference of all time this year?
Finishing Top 4 in the conference with an expected top 8 tourney seed and being in the Top 10 all season is hardly something to bemoan.
You haven’t watched enough Bama basketball to be so pessimistic with this year. Every coach since Wimp would be clamoring for a huge raise based off this year alone.

They’ll like be a #1 seed and will face that same pressure in March. Better to learn it now than then.

He’s really been our rock offensively for many seasons. He’s gotten better defensively as well. If we make another final 4 what say you?
Perhaps a bit controversial but he isn’t even the best PG on the team right now. He is a much better scorer than distributor.
He should go down as the best player in Bama history. I don’t think it’s fair to assign him to PG or SG, maybe just call him the best guard to ever play at Bama.

The other 10 games they were pretty solid
The UGA game and 2nd half of UT were not solid. But overall they played really well this year. With better pass rushing they’d have been lights out.
Planning to go to the game on Sunday. First game at Coleman for me. What is a good section to sit in? And, where is parking for bball games?

Missouri instead of UT would probably make more sense there. No way UT would want to risk their guaranteed spot, but MIZZOU was 9-3 like those others.
