At this point, I’m just trying to ascertain who is “running” Venezuela. You told me that the narco commie was in c


I sure don't know who is control. Since the choppers flew out with Maduro, as far as I know, we haven't seen ANY indication of continued US presence involved in reining in the chaos. There have been multiple reports like this talking about armed gangs and militias hunting down Trump supporters.

That's what happens when schools don't have leverage in negotiations. If School A isn't willing to agree to a $70m buyout, School B will because they're desperate for an elite head coach.


But as you have pointed out here, if school's don't have leverage, it's because they have willingly given it up.

Buyouts should not be 70 million.


More important...all buyouts should have mitigation clauses.

His evidence was

OL Andre Smith, William Vlachos and Mike Johnson


He forgot one of the biggest keys...Antoine Caldwell, an All American at center.

Crazy...Shula left Saban three guys who were or would become 1st team All Americans on the OL...Smith, Johnson, and Caldwell.

But an overlooked factor also is that their OL coaches under Saban were Joe Pendry and Jeff Stoutland. You can't underestimate their role.

In 1999 #21 Alabama beat #3 Florida 39-40 in OT during the regular season.

Then in the SECCG, #7 Alabama beat #5 Florida 34-7.


Which leads to one of my favorite SEC trivia questions:

Who has won an SEC championship more recently...Mike Dubose or the Tennessee Vols?

What has Rubio done exactly? I will give you plenty of time.


I needed 5 seconds. Went to Panama and pushed the government to not renew its Belt and Road initiative with China.

You are one monumentally stupid motherfricker. You don't like Rubio...that's fine. Just try to find a couple of functioning brain cells to rub together before you try to make your make your case. And good luck with that.

Is it possible that some American jobs may be sent to Venezuela? A few years down, after they have become a stable partner...yeah, maybe.

But to believe that this one hypothetical negative consequence outweighs all the positive ones is pretty stupid.
First year starting QBs that I have watched win national championships at Bama:

Steadman Shealy...1979
Jay Barker...1992
Greg McElroy...2009
AJ McCarron...2011
Jake Coker...2015
Mac Jones...2020

Jalen Hurts was 2 minutes away from being on that list.

Most of our national championships in my lifetime have been won by first time starters. It may not be ideal, but history says the team can be hugely successful behind a first time starter...who is well coached.
"Every play's got a life and history of its own."

Jesus. That's a word for word quote of what we heard for years.

It is depressing. But what's most depressing is when you realize that people in their fifties don't change their personality. DeBoer will never have this mentality.
quote:

coached him up


This was missing at virtually every position this year.

What players can you point to that showed significant improvement over the season?
Some of us are old enough to have watched the 1977-79 teams.

In 1977 it seemed that come hell or high water, Bryant would run Steadman Shealy out there every third series, no matter what. Not just mop up time...any quarter, no matter the score. He played every game, and had almost as many rushing yards as Jeff Rutledge. In 1978, he actually out rushed Rutledge 323 yards to 95 (and 5.5 YPC). So in 1979, when we went undefeated and won a national championship, we did it with a QB who, although he had never previously started a game, was a seasoned veteran.

If DeBoer didn't have a back up ready to replace an injured Ty, that's 1,000% on him.

Frankly, the 2026 season projects to be easier than DeBoer's first two at Alabama.


You probably projected that FSU game to be pretty easy also. Maybe Vandy last year? That near loss at South Carolina last year?

DeBoer has shown the ability to turn games that "project" to be easy into losable games.

You paying the 60 million to fire him?


Are you stupid, or are you just another dumbass kid trying to be cute? The rest of the league paid close to a half BILLION in alimony over 17 years, while we didn't pay a dime. If you don't think we could afford $10M a year over 6 years, you're hopelessly clueless.

but the fact that we got our asses kicked fewer times in more games under extreme sanctions and Mike Shula than has happened under DeBoer is indefensible.


Shula actually recruited pretty well under the circumstances. He left Saban three future All American offensive linemen in Andre Smith, Mike Johnson, and Antoine Caldwell, along with Glen Coffee to run behind them. He also left future All American safety Rashad Johnson.

Among all of glaring deficiencies in coaching the various positions as well as offensive performance, to me one of the most unacceptable things was how utterly unprepared the team was for FSU. That was absolutely unacceptable.

This is lunacy. If he doesn't show improvement next year, he absolutely should be fired. Period.

the results were an improvement this year over last season.


How in the ever loving frick is having the worst running game in over 100 years of Alabama football an improvement?

We do not want to be one of these schools that gives a coach 3 seasons to win a championship or get fired. We don’t want to be Auburn or LSU.


The notion that we can't demand competence because of whatever Auburn may have done is just plain stupid.

And Trump, who has cheated on all of his wives repeatedly with porn stars, is a Christian?


Not in my book. Mr. "Two Corinthians" has always walked and talked like he's never set foot in a Sunday School in his life. Grabbing women by the pussy? There's absolutely nothing about Trump's personal life that to me indicates he's a Christian. And frankly, I couldn't care less, as long as he continues to promote policies that are pro faith. That's what matters.

But here's the thing...that you're obviously too stupid to grasp. The thread isn't about Trump. The question is, can you be a Democrat and be a Christian? Whether Trump is a Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist, or the most debauched heathen to ever live has absolutely no bearing on that question.

We are making a point about an entire political party that has as a fundamental part of its platform something that is inherently evil and anti-Christian...the unfettered murder of unborn children. The best you can counter with is the personal behavior of exactly one member out of millions of Republicans, and no explicit policy of the Republican Party.

That's why you're hopelessly stupid.
