I made this comment after the Mizzou game. I was there and noticed every ball he threw in warmups no matter the distance had a lot of velocity on it.

I was thinking the same thing. :lol:
I have never played the game and the reason I was watching was because of Joel. Abby or Ellie carrying the show is not promising at this point.
I am vested or as they say pot committed so I guess I will see through to the river but feel like I am just chasing a gut shot straight at this point. Hope I am wrong. :cheers:

I am a Brad Pitt fan but never understood the love for Fight Club.
Another one is Mad Max Fury Road. No appeal and just seems like such an overplayed storyline.
Also the fascination with the Matrix. I enjoyed the movie but never had a desire to watch it again.

But Alex, in a car with sweaters, scarves and a blanket was frost bitten after about day.
The moment she woke up and found the couple dead she should have striped them clean of gloves and everything to keep her warm.

Yeah when she walked after shooting the innocent deputy marshal with the US Marshall sitting there was a bit of a problem. Especially after she started the shooting taking a long distance shot at the marshal.
The marshal clearly when she found the girl wanted her to go free but for whatever reason TS needed closure with the charges getting dropped.
quote:
The sniper rifle would have taken out the guy with the Tommy Gun.
She had the shot before he fired off the gun.
All these hired guys to kill the Duttons and none of them seemed like they had ever fired a gun.
And if Banner was true to his word why did he not warn them the two deputies were against them as well.

I thought lsu fans were broken over football but basketball as well. It is sort of sad. I find happiness with the teams I support but I guess if your teams suck like they do in the bayou you can only find happiness pulling against others. :banghead:

The only good part of that episode is the Indian arc is over at least the hunt for her. But with TS I could see the Indian girl finding Alex stranded on her way and saves her by taking her to the closet train station which happens to be a station Spencer arrives in on the way.
The finale will probably be shootout in the train station.
Again TS should stick to writing 1 season series and be done. And no need for the narration at the end. :banghead:

TS should keep to writing one season shows and then move on. He sucks if it goes past a season. Just drags out.
I finally caught up the last 3 episodes and feel it went backwards. Next the British couple will probably pimp out Alex once they find out who she is and will blackmail her. Spencer somehow will end up traveling with the Indians and bringing them to the ranch.
The final episode will be him arriving and a phone call Alex is finally on her way from Chicago.

It’s harder to get excited about a “commitment” in the NIL era.
For me this is the main reason. It went from excitement when they gave a verbal to waiting to get excited once they sign. Now even a signature means very little. In todays era there is no commitment.
Plus on this board to many people complain about who we do not get or when we do they are not good enough. To many spoiled fans.

Elbert Hill is one of the few names in the 2026 class who is being aggressively pursued by all the major powerhouse teams of college football. So far, the player has received a whopping 29 offers but has made a commitment to none.
quote:
Josh Newberg of On3 Recruits provided an update on Elbert Hill’s conundrum in his recent video. “You got three schools that are certainly doing a fantastic job here. Alabama, Oregon, and then USC is the team that’s really rising up following a recent visit in January for Elbert Hill.”
quote:
Hill recently spoke of how Alabama wants him so badly and assured him that they want him to be part of their program. However, the major reason Alabama stood out for Hill was that they were genuinely interested in the player and quite frank with their communication, too. “They just came and just was real with us, and was like, ‘Hey man… we believe you could be a guy to come in here and make an impact early.’ It wasn’t even as much as a pitch. It was just having a real, genuine conversation about what would be the plan for him if he decided to come down to Alabama,” Albert Hill’s father said in a recent statement.
According to the article it is a 3 team race right now but we know things will change.

I never said we were not just happy with recruiting as a whole. I was responded to poster that thinks our recruiting has gone downhill and that we will never win a NC again.

Hightower played in all 13 games in 2010.
Thats right he missed 09 as he got injured early in the season. But he was not 100% in 2010.

Darrius only got 1, and I recall reports of multiple starters on the 2010 team becoming complacent and big-headed, including Darreus, which makes sense considering we lost 3 games that season.
I recall that season to IIRC Ingram missed the 1st part due to a knee injury that required surgery. He was not 100% still against USC in that loss. Hightower did not return from injury until the next season. TR got injured in the first half of the LSU loss. I believe Julio played most of the season injured as well. Not the best season for many reasons.
quote:
but let's not act like some of this is new regarding highly coveted, famous, and immature college football players
I never said that. What I was saying is I have no issue with grabbing 3 or 4 stars recruits like we are. Yes, they may get NIL, but they are definitely not getting what a 5 star is so for me to assume they would come in with a chip on their shoulder to prove they are just as good to increase their NIL is not farfetched.
My response was to the other poster who seems to think the ship is sinking because we are not getting/spending what we need to get the 5 star and without them we will never win another NC again.

Trump has been blathering about doing away with the federal income tax and replacing it with tariff revenues since the campaign. But anyone who really knows how things operate behind the scenes KNOWS that this will never happen.
Even if Trump did so it would not hold because the next President could change it back. All the people happy about the possibility forget the federal income tax is there via a Constitutional amendment.
This bill I posted only focuses on state income tax but some states are pushing for a jock tax like in the pros. So even the states that do not have state income tax players would still have to pay tax on away games as a % of their earnings.

What factors are most important to them wanting to be at a school now?
I would rather have those 3-star guys out of HS like Dareus, Hightower, Womack, B Jones, etc. that show up every practice and game with their lunch pale and a chip on their shoulder. Those guys got multiple titles while at UA being part of classes that were not star studded across the board like later classes who most only won 1 title while they were here.
I believe our HC players like playing for him and I have faith he will develop guys for what he needs. But if you would like to have the BJ Scott and T love players of the world because of their ranking out of HS go for it because I want the kids that come in and have something to prove. The kid that will bleed for the name on their jersey not the kid that that is all about the money. And yes, they put in the work they will get paid but way too many of these 5-star recruits want to get paid for their potential that is not a guarantee. Ask a&m how that worked out for them.
NIL Change for the State of Alabama
Posted by TideWarrior on 2/12/25 at 10:25 am
quote:
Alabama has become the latest state to introduce a bill that would create a competitive advantage for its collegiate athletes. Alabama state representative Joe Lovvorn introduced legislation in the House on Tuesday that would make NIL earnings exempt from Alabama’s individual income tax.
The move follows a similar bill popping up in the Georgia state Senate earlier this month. Alabama currently has a state income tax with rates ranging from 2% to 5%. This bill would also put Alabama and Auburn on equal footing, as Tennessee, Florida and Texas are SEC states with no income tax.

If this site makes you so miserable why hang around? Just curious but your post are mostly negative and/or depressing.
I for one want great DL but we have had our share of great defenders that were not 5 stars coming out of HS. IN the end can only take the guys that want to be here. :cheers:
