Amarillo Tide

It's possible. The last name Simon isn't all that common.

I was on the opposite end of Coach Bryant’s career. I graduated in May, 1983. I always read anything he said to the media and always listened to his weekly radio show. I never once heard him say anything that could be considered whining.

I didn’t personally know him but I did have a professor who would chat with him from time to time. He would pass along harmless bits of information every now and then. Told me CPB was a scotch drinker once and toward the end, really, really didn’t enjoy recruiting toward the end but I think that was fairly common knowledge.

Linnie Patrick was kind of the canary in the coal mine in terms of how the recruiting landscape had changed. Not that Linnie was a bad guy but I think I think CPB kind of saw the handwriting on the wall that times were changing.

Aside from injuries, Offensive line play is hands down the #1 factor. If the O line can consistently be at least "pretty good" (If I was giving a grade of "A" to "F", if they can be at least a B-), this will tell the tale of just how improved this team is.

To me, I always think of something Coach Bryant used to say, "If you can't consistently pick up 1-2 yards, you probably deserve to lose". Seemed like there were way too many times last year where Bama desperately needed 1-2 yards for either a score or first down and we either got stuffed for no gain or a loss OR we got it but had to resort to some gadget play or finesse play.

I'm sorry but there are times where we need to just line up in a 2 or maybe even a 3 TE set and just play smash mouth for the 1 yard. No more cuteness. I'm cautiously optimistic that Grubb has learned this and that Adrian Klemm will get more out of this O line.

Big arm on that kid. Seems effortless on his throws.

Isn’t Pratville’s coach a former Aub player?

Interesting. My guess is they'll settle out of court and he'll walk away with 6 figures.

Crazy. I don’t know the amount but Texas Tech paid a fortune to get him. I’m guessing he’ll have a “ miraculous” recovery by August.

He's an arrogant prick who was nowhere near as good as he thought he was. The amount of smack that guy talked for a guy with his skillset was incredible. He's just an awful person. So, no, I don't feel sorry for him.

I'm sure any number of jobs in the fast food business will be available for him.

Saw where Baylor is so strapped for cash in their athletic department that they are flirting with dropping football. Kansas while not dropping football is also severely broke and is going to take some drastic actions. My guess is they too will drop some sports.

This is true. I like CKD but it's still to be seen if he's up to the job. I feel like Byrne is like a poker player who has (what he thinks) is a good hand and raises all in with EVERYTHING. This move is a huge gamble. It could pay off or the entire program may crash and burn and take both Byrne and CKD with it.

I felt like if 2026 is like last year, CKD's coaching seat would be molten magma hot in 2027. Now, who knows? I hope it works out but you just don't know.

There were at most two people on here who defended Milroe until the very end, Y Star and some other dude (don’t recall the name). Anyone who dissed Milroe, Y Star acted like you had just called his mother a whore. Dude would become unglued.
