    The Decline of the DNC III

    OK, now do POTUS saying "stuff that didn't happen." Oh yeah, that would be a full-time job. But "both sides..."

    The Decline of the DNC III

    I think it is a mistake to normalize what is happening as "ho-hum, just another day in American politics." We are experiencing unprecedented attempts to consolidate power, challenges to (if not outright defiances of) our systems of governance, and frankly, assaults on our constitution...

    The Decline of the DNC III

    A large part of the problem is that a significant percentage of the country would rather be focused on a hypothetical that someone in a previous administration might have been willing to do "undemocratic" things instead of focusing on the fact that NUMEROUS PEOPLE IN THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION...

    JessN: DeBoer is building something: What it is, is the question

    I think the problem is - in this day and age of NIL, the transfer portal, social media, and the kids just generally being more prima donna-ish than ever - players are infinitely more likely to respond to screaming/"hard coaching" in the former manner instead of the latter. Why play somewhere you...

    Trump's Tariffs and Possible Trade War

    I would think the vast majority of the "trade imbalances" would be explained by the fact that we are one of the highest consuming and most affluent countries trading with countries that have significantly fewer people and significantly less buying power. So when we buy X times more things from...

    Trump's Tariffs and Possible Trade War

    Again I am no expert, but the places I have seen these "trade imbalance" ideas presented and perpetuated are normally the bloviating, incendiary right-wing outlets. There is always some foreign bad guy in their minds.

    Trump's Tariffs and Possible Trade War

    I am perfectly fine with negotiating to benefit our country, but shouldn't the negotiation be done in good faith? Especially with long-standing allies? And is there no middle ground between "being the suckers" and double digit tariffs out of nowhere? All the "leverage" he thought this debacle...

    Trump's Tariffs and Possible Trade War

    This is asinine. As the leading world power, it is imperative that we operate responsibly to maintain long-term success. Do you really think that strong-arming our allies with some trumped up mafia boss shakedowns is going to create positive outcomes for the US in the long run? "Yeah, the bully...

    Grubb to be next OC at Bama per ESPN

    I would say that yes, good players are going to naturally make progress either way. And I would attribute their improvement to their position coaches more than the OC regardless, especially for OL. What I see here is our 2nd string RB got twice the production in 2008 vs. 2024. I know Milroe...

    Grubb to be next OC at Bama per ESPN

    Glen Coffee and the OL drastically improved and we added some random 3-star running back named Mark Ingram. Rushing went up ~25% and a full TD per game while the defense went down a full TD. Don't have to do as much with the QB when the run game + defense carry the weight (as they tended to do...

    Trump's Policies

    And your guy, who has already seen rising prices and was/is a gnat hair from implementing tariffs that would exacerbate them, is so much more in tune? And how do those egg prices - which were so often referenced as reasoning for voting - look right about now? But I'm sure you will find a way...

    Trump's Policies

    I am noticing a softening of your tone regarding dear leader and his wanton disregard for laws, morals, and even the Constitution now that you are in the crosshairs (or at least it sounds like you are). "Haha what if he blew it all up" isn't quite as funny when you are the one who stands to...

    Question: How Good Was the SEC in 2024???

    JessN: Michigan wrap-up: Bama needs a clean break from this identity

    I always appreciate your input, but I think with this you are 1.) making a lot of wild assumptions and 2.) giving Milroe WAY too much credit. This is not meant as a slight against Milroe, but if you listen to him talk and see how he interacts with people, I don't think he is smart and/or savvy...

    BREAKING Colin Hitschler has been informed he will not return to the Crimson Tide next year.

    So this is your latest gripe with CKD since all your others have turned out to be incorrect?

    Everything Is Going to Be Fine

    1. I was just talking generally about what Milroe has done as a "leader" during his time as our QB. Others have mentioned it, but all this "first in the building" crap along with his disingenuous "leadership" and cheerleading when things are going well, but disappearing and/or sulking when...

    Everything Is Going to Be Fine

    Yeah, no, sorry but if you want to be QB at Alabama you need to accept and own the level of scrutiny and resulting blame that comes along with it. That is what real leaders do. Not just stand in tunnels for handshakes or "Roll Tide" in interviews only after wins. The most important position on...

    Everything Is Going to Be Fine

    I think Brailsford acquitted himself pretty well at C this year though and he is undersized by typical SEC standards. Even guys like William Vlachos have been successful and that was back in the days of Terrence Cody-type DL. I know those are both centers, but we have had a number of...

    Game Thread: CFP Quarterfinals- Wed. Jan. 1 (ESPN)

    Ironically, the playoffs were basically instituted as a result of outrage over the "do-over" game that Bama got in 2011. I said it back then that all playoffs (and especially expanded playoffs) would do in CFB is allow even more do-overs. And that is exactly what we've seen play out so far...
