    Bama Game Thread: Official Postgame Thread - Bama vs. MSU...

    funny how we can win a conference game 41-0 after putting up 27 in the first half and have a receiver go for 200 and 4 TD's and all anyone is talking about in the postgame is that we struggled offensively. i think thats a pretty good sign for our chances dont you?

    News Article: Tua doesn't have to play against LSU.

    No, we're starting the youngest defense we've started in what? 20 years? Ever? As everyone here loves to say, history has no bearing on this team this year, and this team is not good enough to beat this LSU team without elite QB play IMO. Here's hoping that either we get that elite QB play, or...

    Trevon Diggs -- Coverage Difficulties? (Please read FAQs regarding teaser titles)

    Re: Trevon Diggs yeah its called a stop fade. a staple in the NFL and under Richt at UGA. If youre in phase with a guy, the QB throws the ball at a yard line, and the receiver just stops running to catch the ball, there is really nothing you can do but interfere. grab the guys pads or...

    Trent Richardson question

    I loved him. Some can act like he wasnt maybe the best college RB at bama ever, but he certainly is in the conversation. Some guys, especially super freaky guys like richardson, just cant keep the mental edge when the physical talent finally catches up with them. he relied on his gifts so...

    Paying Players

    Saying they aren’t obligated to go to college to play pro ball is akin to saying someone isn’t obligated to get in a car or an airplane to get from Nebraska to New Zealand. Like, sure they could walk and then take a boat there, but is anyone going to do that? That’s why there’s a black market...

    Paying Players

    The only real argument against paying players is “but things will change” or “that’s just the way it is”. It’s a logical fallacy to bar someone from making money they legally and rightfully are worth in the market place. Yes things will change. The way it is isnt the way it has to be. Kids are...

    Paying Players

    a whole lot less than people/tv networks are spending on them, hence all the money for coaches salaries. coaches salaries would just correct.

    Paying Players

    ah but you sign an employment agreement with said company and you have a CHOICE whether to work there or work, in your field, somewhere else where you have more freedom away from work. i'm also certain that the market would dictate that this kind of restriction would also come with a very...

    Paying Players

    the players are worth more to the school on a monetary level than you. the school giving a player a scholarship makes the school, the coaches, and many other people much much more than their scholarship actually costs. you did not present that value to the school. it is adjacent to being a mid...

    Paying Players

    if you think the NCAA and the NFL dont have an understanding about using college as a minor league to save the NFL money/make the NCAA money, you are out of your mind. Every pro sport busts more than half their top draft picks, especially baseball bc they draft so young. no different in college...

    Paying Players

    i do not understand how any of you can't take a step back from your argument and see that its insane to think that all accountants should make the same amount of money. or all computer programmers. all players are not equal. their market value is not equal. we are fine with it in literally every...
