The difference in him and Bediako?


One school belongs to a conference where their commissioner supports the schools. The other belongs to a conference where the commissioner is a try hard douche that hates the flagship university that the conference was founded on

If it's something he truly enjoys and it's not dangerous, then just partake with him. You don't have to love it but it makes a huge difference to just be present with him

Too late. Nashville is gone and not coming back. East Tennessee is next and they are already getting bogged down with transplants.
what is with all these ex players just bashing Bama at any moment? Or why is it that journalists keep asking them these questions?

You can blame George W Bush for all this crap. The Leave No Child Behind handcuffed a lot of teachers

I doubt the buses will be running, but there is not anything official. All of the parking lots around the stadium which are usually prepaid should be open so try to get there early.


I appreciate the response. I will aim for one of the public parking garages around campus
Does anyone know if buses will be taking folks from around campus/mall like they do during regular season games? I'm bringing my young family and wife who has a hard time walking long distances due to a rare genetic disorder (not considered handicapped yet). Ideally, I would like to park at the mall and take one of the buses to campus but if that is not available where would be a good place to park where I won't get towed?

will the trophy be staged at Walmart for fans to get photos taken with it? or is that just something UAT does?


You should google AU Walmart national championship pictures from 2010. I can't add them here because they are considered NSFW

In the last two years, it nearly eliminated a potential playoff team, and cost a team a higher seed and a possible bye in the playoffs. The game has hurt the league twice now.


Didn't we lose some key players to injuries in the SEC champ game a few times that would have made a difference in the playoffs or National Champ game? Wasn't Shaun Dion Hamilton one in 2016? Metchie in 2023. I think there was a running back or another defensive player somewhere in between that just killed us

It still costs money right?


I think there is something called Common App. This was after my time but I believe you can send your application to multiple schools at the same time for a flat fee. Someone with kids that age can correct me. In saying that, that is why these schools are getting so many applications.

Makes me think UA athletics is in terrible financial shape.


Or we know to prioritize our resources. Be honest now, when is the last time you actually watched Women's basketball from tip to buzzer. Very few fanbases actually care. Not saying that is right, but I'd rather Moneyball this than spend money just to spend money like LSU is doing.

The state of Alabama has benefitted greatly due to the tarriffs. Eli Lilly announced a multiple billion dollar deal in the Huntsville area a few months ago and now Mercedes in Tuscaloosa

If there is only enough money to make football and men's basketball national championship contenders, you have to cut the budget elsewhere. We don't have a billionaire booster to turn Alabama athletics into his new toy.


Maybe one day UNICEF will get into the women's athletic business. But until then, we're (men's athletics) the people to see

re: Another Ole Miss transfer

Posted by cdur86 on 3/31/26 at 1:25 pm to
I think Ole Miss is going to be ok. Seems like every white girl in every suburban town in the south is going there
I'm from Huntsville. Majority of Northern Alabama is Titans country. Middle to the East is Falcons. South of Birmingham is more Saints. And if you have darker complexion you pull for the Cowboys. Still can't figure that one out.

Are you under the assumption that people are paying for these trucks outright? Most are paying monthly payments of $300-$400 over the next 15 years to pay it off.

I have no idea if Oats is really drawn to blue blood programs but local recruiting base doesn't really matter for basketball the way it does for football.


Is the Big 12 run by a commissioner that hates Kansas like the SEC has with us? Can't even get a local judge on our side and our moron commissioner doesn't stand up for us. I wouldn't blame him for at least listening
I'm impressed that she passed the physical exams to stay in the military

I got voluntold into coaching flag football for 11-13 yr olds. I've never coached football of any sort, I'm looking for tips or advice to plays and whatnot.

I had to do a double take to make sure I wasn't the one that made this post as I'm in the same boat. But my age group is 1st and 2nd grade. Talk about frustration with them not paying attention. I feel like I'm yelling at least half the practice telling them to either listen or to separate. I'm losing my mind and we haven't even had our first game yet

yeah it is stupid to get in a physical confrontation with anyone that size even if you're right. But watching that video Alan has weak punches for someone so big unless he was just going easy on him.
