re: Nick Saban's Tenure in Review: Season #16 - 2022 Alabama Crimson Tide
Posted by Sauron on 7/23/24 at 4:16 pm
I agree with both points you made -- that 2022 was the beginning of the end, and that we were a hair's breadth away from playing for the SEC (and possibly national) championship.
It's a testament to Nick Saban and our overall program's history that we, as a fanbase, look at a season like 2022 as ...

re: Areas of the team that you're a bit nervous or concerned about?
Posted by Sauron on 7/15/24 at 1:15 pm
The offensive line was something of a crap shoot last year. Inexperience at left tackle was a glaring issue at times, and overall the line wasn't as athletic as it needed to be.
Theoretically our line play should be improved, but much depends on how well the line adapts to Coach DeBoer's system....

Hoping we can flip Justus Terry on the DL. ...
What are you basing this on? We're enjoying tremendous recruiting success at the moment. ...
re: What Saban is most known for outside the sports world surprised me

Seriously, what is this assertion based on? This is very random.
Heck, as an Alabama fan, I'd forgotten about that clip. I don't think millions of people across the world know Alabama football or Nick Saban based solely off this 20-second interaction. ...

If that's a picture of the OLB dinner, shouldn't it show half the team?
The other half would be the ILBs....

After Georgia, the most successful team on that list from the SEC East is Kentucky at #6, with a record of 12-22 against ranked teams. Six of the top nine teams on that list are from the SEC West, w...

[quote]Saban said same thing?[/quote]
Saban supposedly told some reporter recently that he / Alabama had planned to be aggressive in the portal this spring before he decided to retire, but I don't know if he identified specific position groups as targets.
And of course any position targets lik...

I can't believe they don't list o-line as possibilities. Especially if Brailsford is not around.[/quote]
Rodak did address that a bit; he said he's taking DeBoer at his word that Brailsford will be available in the fall. He also said Brockermeyer has done well this spring and has earned ...
re: Post-Spring Transfer Portal Thread
Posted by Sauron on 4/15/24 at 2:06 pm
The 3-Man Front folks on WJOX talked with Mike Rodak, the beat reporter for 247, earlier today. A few tidbits:
- He expects all four quarterbacks to stay at Alabama.
- Said anywhere from three to eight players could portal out, but didn't name anybody specifically (although he alluded to Tony M...

Two things about that catch:

If Brailsford is missing multiple practices, then my scenarios / suppositions fly out the window. Can't justify that.
On the positive side, if Brockermeyer has progressed, that's all to the good. ...

Guesswork....you mean like your entire summary?[/quote]
Definitely. As I said, I have absolutely no information on any of this.
Along those same lines, I haven't seen anything concrete from anybody else, either. The one solid piece of information (I think) is that Brailsford didn't s...

[quote]Any other rumblings on this Brailsford situation?[/quote]
I'm not sure it's actually a "situation." Brailsford apparently didn't scrimmage last week, but to my knowledge no reason was ever given. For all I know he had the flu or something temporary.
I think it's ridiculous to believe h...

[quote]Anything less than 10 wins is a failure season. Is this consensus of the board?[/quote]
I can't speak for the board as a whole, but in my opinion, there's just too much uncertainty around the team to really know what to expect.
In theory, having a returning QB would be a huge positive....
