Hoping everyone is staying safe during this wintery spell.

Fascinating look at the Alabama football roster. I suspect we may take a dip next year based solely on youth, but the two years after that will be exciting. We loose only nine seniors after next season.

Admittedly, safeties Saab and Hubbard and the new DL from USC will be starters, and it will sting. TE Danny Lewis is the only starter on offense.

Two seasons after that we will be untouchable. (With the caveat that we don't get hammered in the portal like we did this season).

God Bless you all.

Good afternoon, folks.

A blustery but not as snow winter day in SW Ontario.

Did any/many of you see the ESP trade suggestion...if so, could you share your opinion ? I like it, but it's not perfect. It is a three team trade.

New Orleans gives up Looney, Jordan Hawkins and Trigger Trey, plus two second round picks in the early 2030's. We get back Moses Moody, Jonathin Kuminga and three first round picks...at least one of which is protected five through 20.


Thoughts ?

Have a great day !

Hope all are well,

Very snowy blustery day in South Western Ontario...please stay safe.

My keys to Alabama Winning tonight.

1. Kalen MUST keep a short leash on Ty. He cannot be afraid to pull him like he was against Georgia and was a year ago with Jalen against Michigan.

2. Establish a hot hand at running back. I would lean towards Jam first, but as at QB, don't hesitate to change him out if he's not productive. Next man up would be Daniel Hill. He's a stronger runner, had 60 yards on the ground in the first game, and I assume weather will be disruptive to a long passing and kicking game.

3. Connor Talty has to come through. I believe he can, but again, am concerned about the weather.

Have a great day, folks !

Same as the Michigan game last year. So, so clear that Ty doesn't have it...same as Jalen.

Kalen. I get the resistance but YOU MUST make a change at QB...Either Keelon or Mack.

Excellent comment, ht....thanks for informing.

Re: Dinky Milberry

Thanks for the clarification. No, I am not. I have always been Purpose16. It derives from a great book I read first in 2016. (Have read it a couple of times since: Pastor Rick Warren's "A Purpose Driven Life."

And again, I apologize, I don't know what elipses are.

(I'm Canadian .... apparently we apologize too frequently). Someone once wrote "you are probably the only Canadian EVER on this board."

Hope are are enjoying a wonderful day.

Thanks all...I guess I overreacted when I saw the two 22 year olds...I am generally a believer in building with youth.

The consensus clearly is we are better off with what we got...appreciate you all informing me.

Have a great Wednesday.

Sorry...my bad...meant Queen.

Hi folks,

Yet another opinion request from the Canadian. (One respondent suggested I might be the only one of the board....if there is another, please let me know).

Any UDFAs we should consider ? I was bullish on Hunter early in his career...was a five star, if I recall, when he signed with Michigan. I actually like the pick up.

The best fit I see still available (as far as I know) is Clemson centre Lakhin. Would you take him ? Any others you like ?

Hope you all have a wonderful day !

Good afternoon, folks.

Hope you are all well. Cannot thank you enough for your opinions on the CJ trade I idea I posted. I learn so much from you all re the salary cap, etc.

Bleacher Report has posited the following trade: I like it, but I am not sure Charlotte would as they seem to be giving up a lot.

Zion to Charlotte for Tidjane Saluan, Miles Bridges, 26 1st, nd 28 first. I would assume the 26 would be protected, as according to nbadraft.net it would currently be the third overall. Karim Lopez is the projected pick.

I know Saluan has underpeformed, but there is way too much talent there to overlook. This is the equivalent of a solid veteran and three first round picks. I would do it...not sure Charlotte would

Thoughts ??

Have a great day !
