2K has arrived at auburn. Will they come to Tuscaloosa?


They were in Tuscaloosa a month ago. Someone posted it on Reddit

Why isn't everyone calling that plane the Glory Hole, or Gloryhole Bound?

If they hurry we can get another kid in the Tuscaloosa school system right around all the others graduate and hold him here longer


His wife volunteered in the basketball department back when Avery Johnson was coach. Nate married a pretty woman BOG. That's a damn unicorn. Maybe she'll even get him to start calling timeouts to kill runs.

how many season ticket holders live more than 50 miles away?


It's pretty badass to me that drive regularly. Those are my kind of Grumpy bastards

On side note of a side note: it's pretty fricking cool that Lebaron is gonna play with LeBron. Sucks he fell and lost out of money. But Philly will be good for him. And it's more about that second deal anyways.
I get it. I'd be mad if I were a season ticket holder. But I'm too far away to get to many games. And to have my best friend's favorite team playing my favorite team, and it's gonna be 10 minutes from my house? Yeah, I'm absolutely thrilled about that game.

But while that game hasn't been scheduled, we play them in Des Moines on 12/21. If we play around the same time, 4 days before Christmas, there's no way you'll get a better atmosphere in Tuscaloosa vs Mobile. There won't be any students. And it's so close to Christmas, i bet a lot of Birmingham people don't attend.

Meanwhile, Mobile is building a brand new arena. And they built it to lure these kind of events. And with it being so rare to get to watch Bama play in Mobile, I bet it sells out fast. I was at the game vs USA a few years ago, and there was a great turnout, and by mostly Bama fans.

Ideally, we should be able to play a game every year in either Huntsville or Mobile, and still have solid non con games in Tuscaloosa. Because what's pushing all the neutral court games is the net rankings. And that's what you should be mad about.

It’s simple to understand Students get out 1st week of December and don’t go back until 1st week of January. So to avoid embarrassing crowds we decide to play all our *Home* games in Birmingham and Huntsville to give us a home court advantage


Yep. Though we could do a better job on November. That said I like having about 4-5 games to tune up before the Thanksgiving MTEs. So you need a few cupcakes there.

The Iowa game should be in Tuscaloosa, not Mobile.

Gotta be honest Idk if he plays this year


Play and playing regular minutes are two different things. I could see him playing. His vertical isn't much, but you can't teach a 7'5 wingspan. And let's be honest, it's hard to get much worse than Williamson last season.

All I really got from the clip is he can dunk. He's the kinda prospect I wanna see defensive highlights.
I found a picture of our new Canadian center...

If one of our greatest football players ever had a son who was the #1 recruit in the country and he didn’t come to Bama I would be suicidal


You do realize we'll inevitably face the same problem with legacy recruits in the NIL era. Things aren't like they used to be.
It would be nice to find a place that has up to date rosters of foreign teams. We've getting into the point where we're gonna start to see Oats guys playing overseas. Quinerly would be there if he hadn't quit playing. And I'm kinda surprised Shackleford isn't over there yet. Though to his credit, he's done better in the g league than I expected.
quote:

I don't understand playing all these great non-con teams and never playing any in Tuscaloosa (yea yea, Purdue...which was great). That was a great game and they brought great fans. No downside to even losing that game.

Seton Hall? meh. Do better.


Things is, there's other cities in the state besides Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. Playing games in Mobile and Huntsville isn't just great exposure, it lets fans get to see Bama play for once without having to get a hotel room. It's 7 hours round trip from Mobile to Tuscaloosa. That's a hard task to do in a day plus watch a game.
quote:

Return game in Mobile at a later date.


Hell yeah! Take my money now!

I'm guessing this will be in our new arena/civic center. Though South Alabama is a great place to watch a game. But probably too small for a power 5 non con game.
So, some Tyrone Prothro shite? That's awful.

One reason these bad likenesses happen is because the owners cheap out or things are put on a marketing timeline rather than the sculpture’s timeline.


I've got an uncle who has made statues for several universities. And sometimes the people in charge are idiots that don't know shite about decent art. They didn't really know what they want, and often get talked into terrible ideas. And as you said, cheaping out and unrealistic timelines also lead to problems. Though cheaping out leads to the funniest results...





I like how perfectly they captured Colt's face as Marcel Dareus was coming his way.
The the problem is we could build a statue of all of our Heisman winners, and we still wouldn't have a statue of our best players of all time.
Great news, and not even the basketball aspect. That's gotta be scary to be that young and athletic, but have a severe heart condition. Glad they've been able to treat it, because they were pretty quiet on the specifics.
I'd love to see them in an mte. But it'll never happen on Thanksgiving for me. The family is too big and we actually enjoy getting together. Same reason I'll probably never attend an Iron Bowl.
Just saw San Antonio's coach call a timeout after a 4 point NY run and after 2 turnovers while up 21. Wemby isn't the only reason those bastards are lucky.
