What’s the deal with him? I know some on here have said we won’t recruit him. All
I ever seen about him is him scoring and scoring and scoring.

I loath ga so much i can stomach an Ohio State win.

My pick is in; TCU to win it all.

I heard that he announced today that he would be back next year. What option was he considering? Was he graduating? Transferring? Going to the draft? I am confused why there were questions (I believe even CNS mentioned it but I think he is just a junior). Any thoughts appreciated.

There was a brief moment in history when bowl games meant something; however, that time has long passed. Bowl games are now as meaningless as Baseball oreseason exhibition games. I take that back, baseball preseason exhibition games still have some meaning.

Yesterday we saw South Carolina play Notre Dame and Notre Dame played without their top offensive receiver and an All American Offensive linemen, while South Carolina played without their running backs and two leading receivers. The games was less meaningful than an exhibition game and the players sitting had no regard for the players that remained. There was a day that football teams were a brotherhood, but those days are disappearing.

Last night Tennessee played Clemson and Tennessee played without their two top receivers, who arguably were the reason that Tennessee was even in the game. Yes Tennessee won, but the game was really a warmup and practice for next year, with Tennessee being led this year by two 25 year old QB's. There use to be a day that a 25 year old QB was one year from being vested on their NFL retirement package.

Today, Alabama will play Kansas State and 12 members of the 2022 team will not be dressed for the game. 1 out of 7 members of the team do not even think enough of their fellow players to run out of the tunnel one last time.

Like I say, there was a brief time that a bowl game meant something. Now the story is who will play one last game and who will sit out. The ESPN interview with the two Notre Dame players that chose not to play yesterday, says it all. In todays game, when players have NIL deals and can afford to purchase an injury insurance policy, there is no excuse for abandoning your brothers. How better to get ready for the NFL draft than by continuing your workouts and staying in playing shape?

It is time to start calling bowl games the meaningless exhibition games they have become.

Time to see Michigan spank TCU. This will get very ugly

— Redshirt freshman inside linebacker was limited during media viewing periods this week, but he is suited up and set to start alongside Henry To'oTo'o. It will be Lawson's fourth start of the season.

2023 is our year

I would say yes? Weaking the match ups? I think the NCAA has made it too easy for players to change teams when they can do it before the end of a season.

Opinions?

After Alabama's dominating victory against Kansas State, Nick Saban said he was "proud of the way the team came to the Sugar Bowl."

"Well, I think that there was a team out there today that cared; cared about how they played."

There will be a lot to learn in the coming days. Looks like Malachi Moore is coming back…

Seemed to awaken a sleeping giant. We came back like a stampeding herd of elephants completely dominating the game after that long run. Really proud of the team today. Bryce was brilliant, skill players were great and the defense finally played like we are used to seeing after that long run. Branch was awesome today played his ass off! Roll Tide Roll!

Was on hand for Jeremiah Beaman training session yesterday as he spoke about what’s next in his recruitment process.

Tony Mitchell shares the receivers impressing him from the UA Next practices.

Mac is developing a rep as a dirty player:

Name the final score:

Kansas State __________. Alabama _____________

Total Offensive Yardage Alabama

leading Receiver Alabama with yardage.

I think this is probably the best game we played all year against a quality opponent. I still want Pruitt back and get rid of Golding because I still see the problems with our D even though after we settled down, this was our best game. We are still lacking the run stuffing that we’ve always had. The 3rd and longs are still a problem. The players played with energy, enthusiasm and pride. Branch had a great day. Our receivers looked good and despite missing starters on the OL, they opened holes and protected Bryce.

today was a great statement that the CFP committee got it wrong. We’re living in that participation trophy mentality which is why TCU got in over Bama. We did all we could do to show the college football world, the Championship still goes thru Tuscaloosa.

There is a swag to the team today that we have not seen all year!!! Hoping we got rid of all of the lights. It was great seeing Bryce smiling!!! ROLL DAMN TIDE!!!

Snellville, Georgia!!!!
Let’s end this season with a Major Bowl Victory over the mild kittens!!!
Let me say that it was my honor and pleasure to do ROLL CALL again this season! Thank You!!
ROLL TIDE ROLL!

For those of you that watched the Texas vs. Washington bowl game (especially the last few minutes), I would be interested in your opinion. Texas looked to have better athletes and UW looked to have the best coaches. UW HC, Kalen DeBoer, out coached Sark all night, and their OC, Ryan Grubb, out classed Sark and Kyle Flood all game. The lack of clock management during Texas last two possessions was embarrassing. Nine years as a HC and Sark's averaging 6.5 wins per season while getting paid over $5 million per year. He may be back before you think!

Clemson ran 100 offensive plays and the Tennessee defense only gave up 14 points. They forced Clemson into field goals early and that’s what won it. Clemson missed them, but even if they make, Tennessee is still there. Red zone defense is the key these days, force FG’s.

Embarassing...1-4 so far. Now, I get that the way bowls work we typically get higher conference seeds against us, but quite pathetic and UT has no chance sans their QB and receivers this eve. Couple that with the expected lethargic Alabama in Sugar and looking like worst record in Power 5 for bowls.
