got to t-town today.

I saw where he’s been hired as a director of player personnel or something like that. I saw a video of players throwing him in the cold tub the other day and wondered why he was around. Great to have an old dog back around.

Estillfork, Alabama pop 288 Salute

After the game tonight, I started to think how deep this team truly is compared to past teams. With Burnett coming back soon, whose minutes will he be taking?

So my question is…if you had the chance to add 1 former Bama player from the last 10 years to this roster who would you go with and why?

Herb? Sexton? Kira? Petty?

As much as I’d like to go Herb especially from his last year, I really think Hall would put up crazy numbers with these guards.

Thoughts??

I have not seen much of the other teams but he seems to be the top PG in the SEC that I have seen. I had no idea he would be such a big part of this team prior to the season.

Georgia Bulldogs true freshman cornerback Jaheim Singletary, a former 5-star commit from the 2022 class, announced that he would be entering the transfer portal and looking for a new school. Singletary committed to the Bulldogs as the No. 5 CB in the nation, and No. 27 overall player in the 2022 class.

Would BAMA be interested in pursuing him????

Sorry if this has already been discussed but looks like Calipari is a walking dead man at Kentucky. If Kentucky comes calling will we lose Oats?

Mbakwe remains solid with Bama and is recruiting others. He is visiting this weekend. Update on Rivals:

Only 42. So sad.

Which one of y'all did this?

Statistically they are very similar and both won 2 National Championships. Will either or both make the CFB HOF? Hopefully AJ will make it but I believe if he makes it Stetson also deserves to make it.

The most is that Georgia is sitting in perfect position for the elusive three-peat. Bama missed it once because of politics in 1966. Then again by finishing 2nd in 1977 and winning back to back 78 & 79. Saban had a shot at it in 2013 which was ironically and indirectly blown by Georgia against Auburn. Then the ridiculous kick-six.

When the season started, I thought the first four games of the conference season would be difficult, but the season is shaping up to be difficult the remainder to the year.

LSU looks to be playing as good as anyone in the conference. Vanderbilt is suprisingly good and we play them twice, Mississippi State may be as good a defensive team, as I have seen, Missouri is no slouch and then we have a game with Oklahoma. If you can find an easy win in the remainder of January, I don't see it. Can we win them all? We will probably be favored in every game, but there is no cakewalk there.

There we have it, Ryan Williams wins Mr. Football for Alabama the first sophomore to do so in history.

Seems as though someone is getting the message:

Below is an article from LSU's Fan Nation on Aaron Anderson's transfer. Anderson really wanted to be at LSU all along in my opinion. I don't believe that he wanted to even step on the field for us this year. I have never seen 4 months recovery on a knee cartilage (Meniscus) trim. I believe the kid really did not want to get back into the battle for us. I had a complete medial meniscectomy (all cartilage taken out) my senior year at Army in 1976 and I was back up and going in much shorter time than he was. Surgeries back then were "Butcher jobs" compared to what they are now. The kid just didn't want it while wearing Crimson. I believe that the LSU staff was recruiting him back into Kelly's corner the day he stepped foot in Tuscaloosa.

Oh, but by the way, all reporters in Louisiana consider a kid from Edna Carr (Anderson) a legend in Louisiana high school football lore. Hmmmmm??

What The Commitment Of Aaron Anderson Means For LSU​

The Alabama transfer fills a position of need, fits the culture of this program.

LSU reeled in one of the top offensive players in the portal on Sunday when Alabama transfer Aaron Anderson committed to Brian Kelly and the Tigers.
Anderson, a New Orleans native and former 5-star recruit, entered the portal last week and wasted no time in committing back to LSU.
Prior to his commitment to Alabama, he was committed to Ed Orgeron and LSU, but once the coaching change occurred he reopened his recruitment before pledging to the Crimson Tide.

Fast forward a year later and the Tigers now attain a wide receiver with tremendous upside both as a vertical threat on offense, but a lethal special teams weapon as well.
Anderson attended Edna Karr High School in New Orleans where he showcased his electrifying athleticism as a kick returner.
A position of need for the Tigers after their special teams woes this season, Anderson looks to be a guy who can fill that role almost instantly.

Aside from his gifts on the football field, the commitment of Anderson proves Kelly’s desire to continue pursuing Louisiana athletes in the portal. A New Orleans legend, to secure the former 5-star wide receiver is a massive win for this program going forward.

Looking ahead, LSU’s receiving corps is something special heading into 2023. With Anderson sitting alongside Kayshon Boutte, Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas and more, this program returns one of the top wide receiver rooms in the country.
Anderson has the chance to burst onto the scene rather quickly if given the volume. A physical speedster, his ability to catch the ball at its highest point is what makes him such a gifted receiver, but in open space it’s a completely different story.

Coming out of high school, it was his speed that made him so difficult to slow down. Whether it be on slants across the middle or a quick screen, once the ball is in Anderson’s hands, good luck.
Kelly went out and secured his first big fish in the transfer portal with the commitment of Anderson, but it’s also a culture addition. A player who fits what this program is building, the Tigers have a good one in Anderson who can immediately fill a few holes for this squad moving forward.

Brian Kelly’s Transfer Portal Message:
“They have got to be the right fit first,” Kelly said. “They have to recognize the value of an education from LSU. They have to have the right traits. We are not just open for business. We’re not just putting a sign up saying, hey, we are going to take whoever. They have to be the right fit. I prefer that they are from the state of Louisiana if we can find them. And then we are going to address needs based upon how that freshman class marries into it by the particular needs by position class.

“So we are not going to overload a particular position group. In other words, if we have got three or four wide receivers that are freshmen coming in, you may not see a heavy influence in the portal in that position.
“We are going to develop based upon our freshman class, too. So we are doing this at the same time, and also allowing our program to be younger, too. We want to bring both of these along. We don’t always want to be a turn-it-over program where we are bringing in transfers and turning the program over.”

Got to see a slight glimpse of what the kid can do when It's "go" time. Not sure if the style or overall talent of this team will ever allow for him to truly take over but he is showing the ability to say "give me the d@mn ball and get out of the way." Excited to see what his game looks like in 8 more weeks.

Was a much better watch than the so called National Championship game! It was three hours of my life that was not waisted watching Georgia! Living here in Georgia I turned my phone off and just enjoyed watching the three hour special!
ROLL TIDE ROLL!

Kirby’s ballot? He had TCU at 2 and Bama at 6. Does anybody know what kind of car he drives? where is Updyke when you need him?

How long before I can turn on the tv again without the constant lovefest for Georgia and Kirby? And the constant rhetoric about Saban has passed the torch. Georgia, the new standard.

I'm ready to run through a wall. All of you holier than thou nerds can pound sand. Kirby learned from the best. Nick should play this on a loop in his office until fall practice.

A Kentucky fan was thrown out of the game for having a sign that said "Please go to Texas"? Really?

A spectator was escorted from Rupp Arena during the first half of Kentucky's loss to South Carolina on Tuesday night after holding up a sign that said "Please go to Texas," referring to speculation about Wildcats coach John Calipari being a candidate to coach the Longhorns.

The unidentified man in the lower bowl held up the sign for several minutes before arena security arrived following complaints from other fans. Kentucky basketball spokesman Deb Moore said afterward the man was given the choice of putting the sign away but refused and chose to leave.
