re: Kirby and Kiffin on roster depth

Now adversity just means transfer more often than not.
No one is going to give these guys a big check - or help pay the rent in ten years - for sticking around somewhere if things don’t work out. No one gives a shite about the fate of the talented backup QB who might have shined elsewhere but only saw mop up duty behind a Heisman winner and #1 pick at State U.
There’s a difference between “can’t handle adversity” and going where you think you can make the most of your very fleeting opportunity at generational wealth.
I think most fans lean toward the “can’t handle adversity” side because… they… just… don’t… like… NIL and the portal and are bitter about it.

I miss the Alabama teams of that time period. They were awesome and made up of dogs. It was nice when the players cared about their team.
They didn’t care anymore than players do now. They just had fewer options because of the rules of the day.
People are only as loyal as their options. If every 250+ lb. married woman suddenly looked like prime Shania Twain, there would be a lot of divorces.
re: Could you ever date a young widow with kids?

Let’s be honest here: It comes down to options. No man wants a widow with kids in tow (that will be more important than you and probably a big reason she wants you around in the first place - $$$) if he can get a comparable woman who doesn’t have children and isn’t thinking about the love of her life tragically lost like she’s Rose in Titanic or Kelly in Cast Away.
A lot of people buy used cars, but it’s not necessarily because they want to.

Kirby using Clubber Lang as an example of brute physicality moves him up a notch in my book.

For fans who followed the game before the portal, this is a sad thing. But as time passes and more fans become fans under the current landscape, it will be their normal and see nothing wrong with it. The rest of us will be just the old guys standing in our lawn screaming at the clouds.
Young people today are also a lot more accustomed to seeing other young people make big money in general. 25 years ago, a woman like Livvy Dunne would be an unknown trophy wife instead of a social media millionaire. There’s also a lot more mobility in the workforce. Fewer young people will end up spending 10, 20, 30+ years somewhere. Moving around to get your bag is what young people are used to seeing in everyday life, not just sports.
That’s actually one reason why I’m for the players. A lot of people their age are making bank doing things that require a hell of a lot less talent and work than playing major college football at a high level.

Anyone close enough to go to SFSL just needs to go to Silver Dollar City. I have been to both, and SEC is a hell of a lot better. There’s also not much culcha.

If you want to always be compared to the dead husband/father then sure go for it.
That would be my biggest concern with a young widow.
A chick having an ex who’s a POS can have some drawbacks, but the former husband being Superman in the eyes of your wife and stepkids isn’t exactly ideal either.
So date? Maybe so. Marry? No.

Except in cases of abuse or neglect or crimes against humanity, we should all have at least some appreciation for our immediate ancestors and a lot of respect for our ancestors in general.
I think one of the problems in the modern world is women don’t appreciate the hundreds of generations of extreme labor and sacrifice and bravery and ingenuity that it took from men to create a civilization this easy, free, safe, and convenient.

How desperate do you have to be to bang a hooker? I was never a big time ladies man but even during my worst droughts I never considered it.
It’s not hard at all to understand. It’s a matter of convenience in a lot of cases - like the Charlie Sheen quote about paying them to go away. In some other cases, it’s a guy who wants to do kinky things that most girls won’t do - or they don’t want their wife and mother of their children to do.
Obviously plenty of desperate guys seek prostitutes, but there are a lot of guys richer, better looking, and more charismatic than any of us who have used them as well.

A high black population, a heavy cultural emphasis on high school and college football, and a climate generally better suited for outdoor activities throughout the year.
It’s no mystery.

If you’re leaning toward the safari, maybe you could combine Victoria Falls with Chobe National Park in Botswana. Driving distance apart.
Amboseli in Kenya has great views of Kilimanjaro when the skies are clear. Great photo opportunities with elephants in the foreground.
Kruger in South Africa has the Big 5 - elephant, rhino, lion, leopard, cape buffalo - and Cape Town and Johannesburg are Africa’s most developed cities. Table Mountain in CT is a cool natural landmark. You might could combine some of those things.
And then you have Serengeti (Tanzania) and Maasai Mara (Kenya) for the Great Migration.

But his soft and finesse style is not going to cut it.
A lot of coaches have won national titles (and state championships and Super Bowls for that matter) with a lot of different coaching styles - both schematically and in terms of leadership. At the end of the day, it’s mostly about the studs on the field.
I don’t know that much about the contract situation, but it seemed a little premature, in my opinion. There’s been so many situations where a coach signed a new contract and the bottom fell out and the program was left paying tens of millions in a buyout.
I think I heard that the original deal was through 2031? Seems they could have waited at least another year to see how things develop.

I dunno. But (unlike some other first round QB’s through the years) at least the odds are low he will hinder his career due to laziness or being a piece of shite.

Adam Schefter: Caleb Downs slid out of the top 10 of the nfl draft. One NFL front office member speaking on condition of anonymity said it was because he was a quote “pussy and a bitch arse motherfricker with no backbone”
"This is as fine a young man as you're ever going to find to be a part of your team," Saban said of Downs. "He's a great competitor. He's got great character. He's so instinctive as a player. He can play downhill, he can play in the box, he can play the deep field, he can play man to man. This guy is a tremendous, tremendous person and competitor.
“And I tell you what, there's only a few guys that I love more than this guy as a player on our football team, and he did a great job and improved even more in Ohio State."
