[quote]This is SO overblown.[/quote]
I don't have a dog in this fight; DeBoer is an offensive guy and has had success in that area everywhere he's been so I'll trust him to pick the right guy...
But the bad snaps last year were not overblown. They were real and they popped up from the first game...

[quote]Some of y'all truly have a remarkable ability to ignore the fact Nick Saban was not the same coach in 2023 that he was from 2007 to 2020.[/quote]
I think fans say this because he didn't win any more championships after 2020; but Saban adapted several times in his tenure at Bama and wasn't ev...
re: Alabama football fans. Bigger Rivalry. Auburn or Tennessee?

For me, it's Auburn. We've had far more heartbreaking losses to AU, and far more exciting wins against AU, than we've had over UT in my lifetime...
Not to mention, Iron Bowl games earned far more monikers than TSOR games: Punt Bama Punt, Bo Over the Top, The Fumble, One for the Thumb, The Camback...

Also think their best player was named Bo McMillan and he was obviously a badass.[/quote]
McMillan was an All-American QB at Centre…but he was gone by 1924. Centre and McMillan were best known for their historic 6-0 upset of Harvard (a football power...

Hope so…but also hope that ‘A’ doesn’t mean Auburn. With AU getting the last visit, I’m not gonna get my hopes up too high…
Be great if we get him…but if Hale, Law, and Prentice stay, along with the Bernard pickup, I think our WR room will be OK in thi...
