This. Hell all gasoline in storage tanks was likely purchased prior to the war but they’ll raise prices anyways


Basic economics is lost on most people. If the supply drops and demand stays the same the price will go up. If the good was bought by sellers 5 minutes ago or 5 decades ago doesn't matter.

What the hell? I’m going to eat a shitload of crow. These guys are so resilient. Bravo.
If you’re upset or surprised you haven’t paid attention. This is how it always goes. Bama couldn’t beat these guys w/ Brandon Miller and company either. Don’t read too much into it. We struggle playing rugby.
I said it earlier this week that we just don’t match up with them. It’s like us vs MSU. We are always going to get our arse kicked by Tenneseee w/ very rare exception.

Tennessee doesn't play the same way State does. It's like playing a triple option team and then saying you should be good against an air raid team the next week.

This year Bama averages 93 point per game and goes 12/35 from 3. In the last 5 losses to Tennessee Bama is averaging 70 points per game and going 8/27 from 3. Tennessee doesn't let Bama play the way we play against MSU. It's always a dog fight. It's rugby on hardwood.

We are going to miss him against Tennessee.
I don't think we beat UT. This would be the one game left on the schedule I expect to lose. UT and UF are 2 SEC teams that have our number.

Oats saw how we looked when Sherrell fouled out and had to make another go of it.

Didnt the Rams draft the Ga qb who finally beat Bama in the NCG vs Bryce?


They drafted him in the 4th round. He's 28 and has never thrown a pass in the NFL. He is not their guy.

You can redshirt if you play a certain percentage of the season in a certain part of the season (generally speaking the first OOC part) I believe.


Not the case for basketball. They updated the rules for football a while back but other sports, like basketball, don't let you play any regular season competition and redshirt.

Holloway's FT percentage has to be close to perfect


He's 4th on the team in FT percentage. 83% but it feels like he's higher than that.

185 over/under is an insane number


Not insane enough!
Bama is 3-0 under Oats when scoring 115 points.

Madison city schools, like Hoover, has only 2 large high schools. There are a few other large city schools systems w/ only a handful of schools outside of Birmingham. Gulf Shores City is another.
My son went to the game with his uncle. He’s gonna be tired tomorrow.

I said the same thing to my friends. I told them I wish we could play all our big games on the road because we seem to be on the losing end more times than not lately when a big game is in Birmingham or Tuscaloosa


I was at the Kentucky game earlier this year at home. Anytime you beat Kentucky it's a good win.
Johnson was one of the better D linemen we ever had. Worked great in the 4-3 at Bama and did well in a 3-4 in the pros. Probably a top 5 defensive linemen for Bama in the 21st century.
I was surprised how long a leash they gave Curry. She didn't make the NCAA tournament for 7 years at Alabama to start her career here. She's done a great job the last few years.

If we can just stay healthy we are the best team in the league and a final 4 team. Just gotta be healthy.

Bama sent out 11 offensive linemen and brought 10 in to go along with firing the OL coach. You can't say DeBoer just sat back passively. He's clearly trying to fix the problem.
Every day college sports sucks a little more.
