New rule needs to be

If you are hurt/injured you cant play for full quarter after said incident.

that seems to be going around. This has been like dam it. Sure am glad to be feeling a bit better so that i can watch the tide provide caddilac with a salvage title tomorrow.

He does it just about after every tackle

Just don’t see Michigan have much of a shot today on the road but you never know. We need an absolute blowout regardless of who wins!

First off, if I’m the coach at Clemson, I’m not running down that hill before the game. Surely somebody has broke some bones on that deal.
I wish this was at SC. We need SC to win this one but it’ll be tough on the road. Hopefully SC can find a way to put points on the board. SC just dropped a pick 6 and as a type this Clemson gets a pick 6.

Hit me up

I was curious as to why this year's team is not playing up to the BAMA standard. Is it the coaches? Are there players who have not bought into the process and thus have spread negativity amongst the team? I have not been impressed with Anderson's play this year, and at times, it seems he has disappeared. It just seems that previous teams have played with discipline whereas, this year's team has the highest amount of penalties. Whatever it is, I do have faith that Saban will fix the problems that are plaguing the team this year. ROLL DAMN TIDE!!!

Here are three takeaways after Alabama's 81-65 loss to UConn.

If 40 shows up for LSU he can disrupt Stet.
They would have to play a perfect game.

Julian is a freshman and the starting QB for Carrollton High School in Georgia, and he is the real deal. Right now, he is playing in the quarterfinals of the playoffs. I hope Saban and company have him on their radar!!

According to many on Twitter, it’s between him and Brent Key for the GT head job. I’d bet the house he’s gone regardless but the Patriots OC seems like a good place for him to land.

On Wednesday, Alabama head coach Nick Saban gave his thoughts on the job Pete Golding has done this season.

Well, well, well.... Everyone (including myself) wanted to see what this team looked like against an elite-caliber team... and they got that last night. Alabama defeated Michigan State 81-70 in a high level basketball game that highlighted elite athleticism, incredible length, and steady pace to it. What was most surprising to me, was that the athleticism and length was dominated by Alabama. You could just tell watching the game that Alabama looked different from Michigan State. They were bouncier, faster, and just more athletic.

The first half was dominated by Brandon Miller scoring 20 points and having some highlight plays to go with it. I will go on record and say he is the best freshman to ever play at Alabama. Some people were ready to say he's the best player Alabama has ever had, but I'm not ready to go there. Regardless, he is a supremely talented player who has incredible length and shot making ability for his size. You love to watch him play on offense, but if you want to be entertained further, just watch him on defense. He attacks the offensive player, he fights through screens, and he can get up and protect the rim as well. Enjoy the next 30+ games you have to watch him in a Crimson Tide uniform. He's playing himself into a top 10 pick.

I thought Alabama did a great job of dictating the pace. Michigan State likes to play more methodical and get their elbow/wing jumper off the screen or hit the diver off the screen. Credit Alabama for taking the diver away majority of the time and force them to hit a tougher shot over and over. Alabama's length is elite with their front court and it showed up tonight with Bediako, Miller, and Clowney combining for 5 blocks.

One guy I want to highlight is Nimari Burnett. He was tasked with guarding their best back court players all game. In the first half, he didn't record a single stat, but he defended his tail off forcing tough shots and turnovers by himself. The offense came in the second half scoring 8 huge points, and that's the reward for playing hard on defense. Mark Sears was another that played incredibly hard on defense. He is not known as a great defender, but he bought in as soon as he got on campus and has been really solid so far. He just makes winning plays and the box score always shows it. Another game of 5+ rebounds and 5+ assists for the smallest guy on the court.

Alabama will play #20 UConn tonight at 8:30 pm CST. That will be a different styled game with UConn making 17 threes on Oregon yesterday in their win. Alabama didn't need the 3 ball tonight (8/22 35%) but they will likely need to hit more tonight. What a win.

Look at me writing non-football/basketball stories...

Serious question , would it be better to loose to auburn in a way to make some heads roll and clean the house. VS squeak a ugly win that buys times and don't change a thing??

Expect Lane Kiffen to be announced to Auburn this coming week possibly on Friday. 10 years 120 million. I'll update as much as what's going on with our staff as possible in the next few weeks.

Miller is obviously a young stud, but IMO the key to Alabama looking so good is the unexpectedly refined play of Clowney. Being able to put a front line out there of 7', 6'10" and 6'9" and still have ball skills is different in college. Plus it lets CNO bring Gurley, Pringle and Miles off the bench, with those guys each bringing some good stuff to the table as well.

The exciting part is I think Bama's guards are more talented than they have shown so far and have another gear in them, particularly as Q gets his sea legs back under him.
