| re: Coach Gundy's " you cannot transfer to" list Posted by Blawdawg on 5/21 at 11:57 pm These transfer games are strange to me and I can't remember a Bama transfer nightmare in my viewing lifetime. Travis Carroll went to UF, Eric Locke to UT, P. Simms to UVA, Corey Grant to AU.
Bama will have played against 3 of those.
I get not wanting your QB to go to a team he will play for ...Posted on:  SEC RantJump to Post • View Topic |

| re: New CBS/SEC deal worth same amount as last year Posted by Blawdawg on 5/17 at 12:57 pm Let's recap:
1. The SEC/CBS contract had a clause that a change in membership (for better or worse)would allow for changes in the deal
2. I suspect that the remedy for losing/gaining teams would be an arbitration, if a period of negotiation failed
3. The renegotiation now has CBS paying th...Posted on: SEC RantJump to Post • View Topic |
| re: Bama Now Claiming Others Schools Draft Picks? Posted by Blawdawg on 5/16 at 4:14 pm You do know Saban is presently coaching at Bama right? This is more of a Saban hype piece than anything.
I guess if they did a poster with just the 33 (and they still may) Spurrier could do one with 150+ and say 150 > 33, choose USCe.

| re: Saban Wants Five Conferences That Only Play Each Other Posted by Blawdawg on 5/9 at 9:05 pm I agree. Follow the money and you see 50 teams in the big money crowd and another 10-30 posers before you get to teams hanging on to FBS elites coattails by getting paid $800k to take a dive.
The thought of 12 real games and a pair of 10-2 teams in the champ game makes me happy. (The #10 team in...Posted on: SEC RantJump to Post • View Topic |
| re: Spinoff Thread: Why not UAB? Posted by Blawdawg on 5/9 at 8:59 pm I didn't even touch the "UAB is in the top a academic tier" thing. Depends on how you define the top tier. There are like 2,000 colleges in the US and it is in the top 150-200.
It does nothing to rival Vandy, UF, UGA, TAMU, Bama, Mizzou, or AU academically overall so it would be 8th in the SEC a...Posted on: SEC RantJump to Post • View Topic |

| re: Spinoff Thread: Why not UAB? Posted by Blawdawg on 5/8 at 6:21 pm Would you buy a failing business for more than it is worth? That is why the SEC would never add UAB.

| re: 2012 revenues per USA Today Posted by Blawdawg on 5/8 at 12:40 pm If nothing else, it clearly shows the haves and the have nots. Only a small % subsidize less than 5% of the AD. There are several in the 5-10 range and then after 50 or schools in total the numbers fall off a cliff and the other 75%, including some BCS schools and 60+ FBS subsidize more than 25% of ...Posted on: SEC RantJump to Post • View Topic |
| re: Was there ever a moment that tested your fandom? Posted by Blawdawg on 5/8 at 2:30 am The 1997 home shutout by LSU left me despondent, but still firmly a fan. Never seen a Bama team so outmatched in a home game. Only game I ever left early (1 minute or so on the clock)

| re: 2012 revenues per USA Today Posted by Blawdawg on 5/8 at 2:23 am Probably the $50 or whatever the university hits the students with each semester (and summer) for the "Athletics fee." Hard to complain when basketball and baseball are free to students and FB tickets are $5 each. I suspect students have made small fortunes selling LSU tickets the past few years.

| re: Won't this whole playoff system fall apart? Posted by Blawdawg on 5/1 at 9:44 am The match ups (seeding) will be controversial too. #1 LSU and #3 Alabama (in coaches/AP/etc) suddenly become 2/3 or 1/4 to avoid an all SEC final.

| re: Post spring depth chart Posted by Blawdawg on 4/28 at 10:13 pm We are OK at "TE." not deep, not thin.
You have to account for the interchangeable traits of the TE, HB, and FB in this offense. With Vogler, Faciane, Jones, Howard, Fowler, and Freitag out there, I think things will work out just fine.
If we lose Vogler or Faciane to injury the 2 TE blockin...Posted on: Alabama Sports BoardJump to Post • View Topic |

With 7 healthy QBs, 8 or so WRs, and only 3 healthy tailbacks on 2 teams, I expect 70/30 passing. Not sure AJ would get enough attempts though on his own. You have to figure 6 QBs play.
