Making up stupid nicknames for people is a sign of low intelligence. Also calling someone by a girls name as an insult is a sign you're scared of women. 2 birds with one stone. Congrats.

Murphy claimed, on Hey Coach, that this is his most talented team ever

---

He also said this in an interview.

“We sat down, and the first thing she (Vandagriff) told me was ‘I want to keep getting better, I don’t want to do this’ while doing the little rollercoaster ride (hand gesture). I said, ‘Awesome, what are we going to do about it?’” Murphy said. “She’s really been working on slapping. If she can drag bunt like an Alexis Mack or Kayla Braud, she might hit .600. Those two, if they drag bunted, it was a hit. Audrey is faster than both of them. She’s gotten stronger this fall, still has plenty of pop. She’s better defensively. If she can bunt at will and add the occasional home run, she’s going to be freak.”

He doesn't understand how the game has changed. He's a terrible developer of talent and a horrible in-game coach. Doesn't matter how talented the team is he'll mismanage them into a Super Regional exit at best.

Threes are supposed to be a bonus or luxury. We live or die by them.

No we don't. Just say you don't understand Nate's philosophy and move on.

Well at least we have the best coach we've ever had to keep delivering these L's..

---

We had 2 of our best players out. 2 guys who both average 29 minutes per game and combine for almost 30 of our points per game. We lost by 6. We win comfortably with Biz and Allen in the lineup. If we can get healthy, and that's certainly no guarantee with this snakebit group, we'll be fine.

Shocco

Not sure he was underutilized:

---

He wasn't. 99 touches as a freshman is a ton of work for his first year. He played most of his sophomore year with a broken ankle. And then 140 touches his junior year basically splitting playing time with Damien. Saying he should have gotten the lion's share of the work his last season over Damien is revisionist history because people don't like how Damien has spoken about the program recently. Harris averaged 6.3 ypc in his career at Bama. He and Josh basically splitting carries their last year kept them both fresh and effective.

I dont like being a villain. I'm just trying to move this situation forward as quickly as possible, and if telling the fanbase we have an imposter in our midst is all I can do, then that's what I'll do.

---

Except nothing you post on an internet message board is going to accomplish jack shite to "move the situation forward". Nobody at the university is firing DeBoer because Powhound doesn't like him and posts about it on the internet.

However, I’d have rather kept a projected 1st round draft pick that loved Bama, we absolutely could have afforded, and threw for 3500+ yds, 28 TDs, only 5 INTs, all while being injured and having zero running game. That was definitely something we could have done, but didn’t.

---

Miami offered Ty 6.5 million dollars and he turned it down. He knows that this year's weak draft class makes him an almost guaranteed 1st round pick. If he stayed at Bama he'd be contending with a much stronger draft class next year. He'd have been stupid to stay no matter what we offered him.

Agreed, because statistical outliers by definition will happen given enough data points. I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting on a statistical outlier if I were you, but to each his own.

---

But that statistical outlier is likely to come from a team that routinely brings in elite high school QBs in recruiting. Keelon is the highest ranked recruit we've ever signed, Jett Thomalla is a top 5 QB recruit, and we're in pole position for #1 QB Elijah Haven next year. If we keep it up it increases our chances of being that team that wins it all with a 1st year starter.

quote:

---

However we will have a ceiling this year whether people want to admit it or not. Hopefully we can keep whoever starts this year and make a run at it next year.

---

Nah. I refuse to go into next season believing we have zero chance to win it all. Our chances to win a title next year have way more to do with how our rebuilt trenches play than whether our QB is starting for the first time. If you think we have no shot before even seeing the 2026 version of Bama play then why even watch?
