Third vote for woks of life. I've never made anything from that cookbook that wasn't amazing
I've always thought gay men dressing up as women was quite the juxtaposition
probably about 4 days during an appalachian trail section hike.
This is the same NCAA that denied Quinerly immediate eligibility. It’s not getting approved unless Byrne walks in and flops his dick on the table and says frick you, we’ll take our ball and our giant brand and lead the breakaway- which also isn’t going to happen

2020 Alabama played in empty stadiums against teams decimated by opt outs, please


What's that got to do with who Bama had on that team? 6/11 offensive starters were first round picks. The defense had Will Anderson and Pat Surtain among others.

Who at full strength on the schedule was beating them?
Jabarkus Russell and Barkevious Mingo

but some of these moves have secondary effects, like allowing RW to move back outside, getting Brooks in the starting lineup, etc.


Of course, along with another year of development. It’s why I was just comparing incoming to outgoing
quote:

Why did you include the true freshman with the incoming receivers but not the other positions?

Frankly didn't feel like typing it out, but I don’t think the freshmen move the needle for next year on the front 7 so I didn’t see the need to even include them. Morgan at WR I think is a guy that will contribute right away
Let's look at this from a net positive, negative, or neutral perspective:

WR Incoming-Noah Rogers - 33 REC, 441 Yds, 2 TDs
Cederrian Morgan, TF
Maurice Mathis Jr, TF

WR Outgoing- Germie Bernard, Isaiah Horton, Cole Adams, Jalen Hale

Net negative overall- with the wildcard being does Ryan Williams play to his potential

DL Incoming: DL Kedrick Bingley-Jones - 25 TKLS, 0.5 TFL

DL Devan Thompkins - 31 TKLS, 6.5 TFLs, 3 SKS, 1 FF

DL Terrance Green - 15 TKLS, 1 TFL

DL Caleb Smith - DNP

DL Desmond Umeozulu - 19 TKLS, 2 TFLs, 1 SACK

Outgoing: Tim Keenan, LT Overton, Kelby Collins, Jordan Renaud, James Smith, Keon Keeley.

Net Negative on volume alone. I think we replaced some decent football players, some of which probably hadn't reached their full potential, with some decent football players, some of which haven't reached their full potential.

LB Caleb Woodson - 58 TKLS, 2.5 TFLs,
Outgoing- Lawson, Green, and Jefferson
Net negative


CB Carmelo O’Neal - 36 TKLS, 10 PDs, 1.5 TFLs, 1 FF
Outgoing- Domani Jackson, Cam Calhoun
Probably a net neutral here. Jackson was scared of contact but he wasn't completely terrible in coverage

I think we got better at both specialists. I think we got worse at all the other spots just comparing what we brought in to what we lost.

Development of our 2024 and 2025 classes is going to determine how far we go in 2026, because we did not have a net positive in the transfer portal to replace the experience we lost

The lawyer is the hottest actress on the show by a considerable margin IMHO
They did "let them play" but I also think we are viewing from the lens on the opposite end of the spectrum.

When it comes to hard hits or pass defending, the SEC is officiated on the complete opposite end of the spectrum.

The play where the Indiana DB launched at the tight end down the sideline and separated the ball- if that's an Alabama/Kentucky game in October, he is getting ejected with a 10 second review. Same with the late hit that was called late on Indiana when the guy went crown of helmet to chest on Beck.

College officials just suck at their job frankly. We were blessed with the absolute worst in the SEC.

A brisk 43 degrees in the panhandle. Good day for a French onion pot roast and some mashed potatoes

We have to get back under control on offense. Move the basketball around. This iso drive, throw up a prayer is not how we get out of here with a win
We look a lot more aggressive in the attack so far. Pretty refreshing to see forward passes and 1 touch football after what seems like an age of pass it around the shell sideways and whip in a hopeful cross. Goals should come today.
Just like baseball, analytics have fundamentally changed the game.

They've actually got some awesome NFL merch that's good material and is true to size

From a marketing standpoint, they're getting a late start here. Strictly from a business perspective, the majority of Americans are overweight. Why would you not target a majority audience

I wouldn't go that far but I'm starting to think the system Womack runs is going to have trouble attracting any big time talent as far as defensive linemen are concerned


Won't have anything to do with it. Elite high school defensive linemen aren't smart enough to decipher truth from bullshite when it comes to how they'll be used in a scheme.

We aren't attracting elite defensive linemen in the portal because we can't afford them. As far as HS recruiting goes, we just signed 2 top 10 defensive linemen. Bama, LSU, and USC all signed 2.

If I’m Borussia Dortmund, I’m supposed to be Real Madrid’s competition, not selling players to them


And every now and then it lines up that way- but you can't ignore the money aspect.

Dortmund relies on player sales to generate revenue, but their model is to be the best at recruiting and developing young talent that costs them little to nothing.

RM is the biggest club in the world, they don't need to sell players to make money...and lately they don't need to buy players, they just tamper and convince guys they want to run down their contract and sign them for free


If this were enacted into college football it would reduce transfers by 90%. You would see a lot of the really high end 5 star guys out of high school sign 1-2 year contracts, but the meat and potatoes of everyone's team would be there for their entire careers which is how it used to be
