Just today I learned of an Elementary teacher being called into the Principal for issuing Cs, Ds, and Fs. The Principal stated, "We don't have any 'average' students in this school."
😇
The Principal changed the grades.
😠
And then, there was my mom, when I was in 5th grade. My teacher ( who was a head case and ended up being fired ) was giving me A`s in arithmetic. My mother knew that I was no more an A student in arithmetic than I could sprout wings and fly to the moon. She marched into the principal`s office and raised holy hell as only my mother, God rest her soul, could do. Teacher was gone at the end of the year.
My, how our society has changed....and unfortunately in many ways not for the better.
 
I don`t think so either. Who was it that said, " It ain`t the Xs and Os , it`s the Jimmys and Joes. " ? While I`m happy that we apparently have a good strategic HC, I`m not too confident if we end up going in with a load of 3*s with a very few 4*s and a rare 5* sprinkled in against Texas, LSU, Oklahoma, UGA, etc., etc., over the next few years.
How much of a difference do you think it makes? I mean there are some sure fire highs and sure fire lows, but as long as the majority is high threes through high fours coaching can make a huge difference.

High school football has come a long way since that saying originated.

In Fairness, 247 claims he will be worth millions of dollars in the portal. If he goes to Georgia, he will be going back home and to a program very similiar to Bama’s. Tough to pass up an opportunity to be a multi millionaire and be at the same level you were with the same opportunities. If he does leave though, he is one of them, not one of us. Don’t let the door hit you.
He’s about learning and making himself better, not about winning and playing as part of a team. His old many just said it - he left because he wanted to learn “the X’s and O’s from Saban”. It was never about team, it was about me. That’s what happens when me is more important than us - team loses out.
The core that are staying, and those who will join, will win, and although I don’t wish him ill, I hope he never does.

Hope you`re right. He wasn`t overrun at UW with 4&5*s and look what he did in two years, so maybe.......
 
It was out of control before Downs/Proctor and when we take players from Washington or the next school who loses their coach or when the next portal window opens it'll be out of control then.

Nothing has changed except but a bunch of fans measuring their happiness on what a couple of 18 years are doing.

Bama will be just fine and I say that admitting CD is a great player. Meh on Proctor.
It definitely affects my happiness but it doesn’t take away my joy of being an Alabama fan!!! RTR!!!

We will see. We’ve seen what a roster full of five stars can do. I’d take a three star with work ethic and loyalty over these guys bailing at the first chance.
 
LOL! I guess that there was a reason I couldn`t remember anybody being " academically ineligible " . What was I thinkin`? That would require a player to be an actual student....athlete. Then again, in this day and time, does ANYBODY get grades anymore??

Yeah, do college football players actually go to class, or is everything online studies?
 
Indeed. To state the obvious, we are the happy hunting ground, and it`s looking like there`s not much we can do about it. Like buzzards on a carcass. Sark and Kirby, I believe, have an overt goal of leaving us as a mere shell of our former selves. JMO, but I think the team will have little, if any, resemblance to this past season, both personnel and schematically. What that`ll mean for W`s and L`s, nobody knows. Doesn`t feel very comfortable, though.
It’s very odd, but those two really seem to resent Saban and Bama even more than everyone else does when you would think it would be the opposite. Oh, they say all the right things on Game Day, but it’s easy to see through the veneer.

They would say its not personal, its just business.

I say they are dishonorable.

I just heard from my brother-in-law, who is a huge Auburn fan, that Big Al just entered the portal. 😳
