There isn't a ticket lower than $160 from what I have found. Maybe before you try to troll, you take that next step to click one link before you post it.

They ought to require membership to have the right to access and purchase exclusive apparel / gear. Not just with the Yea Alabama logo items, but something football specific.

Something like a $100 membership fee to get access to purchase exclusive items. Once its gone its gone. Don't just try to sell your shirt and stuff to the general public - create some desirability through exclusivity.

Just sending money to fund these players or to get a "shout out" from a player isn't appealing in the slightest (unless you're a 10 year old sending in your birthday money), but getting access to exclusive stuff might make me pull the trigger on something like that.

Until then, I will just pay for me seats.

But don’t quote the Bible when it’s convenient for your personal feelings. Do you quote the Bible when lusting over livvy dunne or anyone else?

I actually agree with your first point — we shouldn’t use Scripture as ammunition to justify our own personal opinions. The opposite is true: my personal feelings should be shaped by Scripture, because otherwise I’m just making myself the authority instead of God.

As for your question, it’s really an appeal to hypocrisy and doesn’t address the issue. Of course, I have to continually measure my own life against Scripture — and the Scripture itself calls us to do that. But if only the flawless could share or appeal to Scripture, then no one would ever hear it. The message doesn’t depend on my perfection; it points us to the one who is perfect.

At the end of the day, they fell on their face against FSU (even if FSU turns out to be a very good team - and it appears they might). They didn't play to the standard regardless of how good FSU may or may not be. They were appropriately criticized not just by 40-50 year olds, but by former players.

They responded well against ULM, which is a step in the right direction and they should be commended for that, but they have to continue to respond game in and game out. If they get that consistency from internal drive, great. If they need to get it from remembering how embarrassing the FSU loss was and the criticism they got for that, then use that. Do what you have to do to give 100% on every play.

That's fair. I am not sure how we get to 10-1 / 11-0 without those things taking place, but I guess I could feel (some) better if we dropped 2 more (not sure how I would feel about 3) and started to see a more discipled team.

It might at least make me feel like not running him out on a rail.

One of the two Ls would have to be a hard fought L to GA on the road.

Just win. That's pretty much it.

Which wins though? Clearly everyone wants to win out, but which wins actually shift your opinion on DeBoer?

I'd like to see the other QBs get snaps so we can see if they also read/process slow and hesitate to throw.

Screw that. Ty was one of a handful of players that actually seemed to give a crap. He played pretty well considering it was his first start and it was on the road. Putting in Mack or Russell isn't going to magically help this o-line mesh or Ryan Williams quit dropping balls that hit him in the hands.

OLine for me. Think we are solid with Brailsford at C, but I want to see Proctor play with some more explosiveness (be a little more of a glass-eater), the rest are really question marks.

Considering last year we were middle of the pack nation wide in sacks allowed - like 60th or something, I am concerned. Not sure how to balance that stat taking into account Milroe. Obviously, very elusive but also not a decisive decision maker either.

Considering Ty is just cutting his path and our need to keep the D-line rested with sustained drives, I am concerned about the trickle down effect of a bad O-line.

I'll get downvoted into oblivion, but I don't care. I want AUB, TN, and LSU. AUB and TN are non-negotiable for obvious reasons. But, LSU is a bigger rival than MSU and there is no sensical argument otherwise.

MSU has beaten Bama 7 times since 1958 - 7... Is that a rivalry? Sure, we have played them a lot, and they are right down the road, but does that really matter? We've played Vanderbilt a lot and UAB is just down the road. I guess you have to have these two magical ingredients together to form a rivalry.

Sure, Alabama has dominated both series historically, but LSU has beaten Alabama 10 more times than MSU despite playing them 17 times less.So, even going down the logic trail these people have saying, "it wasn't a rivalry before Saban." Historically, yes it was. It decided the west much more often, and has a closer series.

But, another reason that position is stupid is because it effectively, tells you to omit roughly two decades of history (not to mention Saban) from the equation. That is just idiotic. When you take those into account and how impactful most of those games were - not just for the programs, but nationally, they are clearly the bigger rival. There is no argument.

The only argument with any merit for MSU is simply wanting the weaker opponent - just like they have historically always been. And that is fine, but quit trying to argue MSU is a bigger rival (or LSU isn't a rival).

That game means nothing without Saban walking the sideline during that game.

I just don't think this is true. Saban coaching at both certainly played a major role, but that means for almost 20 years, this was a heated matchup solely because he was there. It is still a big game. It had the "game of the century", 21-0, and numerous high impact games for both programs. That isn't just going away because Saban isn't on the sidelines anymore.
