    Ken Stabler had Severe C.T.E.

    The reality of any physical activity is too much is bad for you. A real simple litmus test, as if its truly possible, for any physical activity would go something like this, 'is this going to make my body healthier now, in 10 years, & in 30 years'? Take mountain climbing at altitudes above...

    Beats naming it after some piece of politically connected person as is the usual course.

    What does it mean when people say "we must learn to "STOP" the HUNH offenses"?

    Re: What does it mean when people say "we must learn to "STOP" the HUNH offenses"? Rather obviously it means different things to different people. Generally I think it means one of 2 things to most people: A - Holding the opposition down well below what their usual point/yd production is. B -...

    Auburn stealing plays

    I'd be quite surprised if there aren't coaches who've approached some mathematics/statistics/cpu programmers and asked them to enter in all the various cards, signs, plays, etc opposition teams now hold up looking to crack the play calling. I certainly would do it. Additionally I worked with...

    Manziel Taking All On-Line Classes-Fishy?

    Not really fishy at all. Technology has changed the classroom-university experience. There's a current movement where Stanford and some of the leading universities are offering several classes online for free as a public service. The seminary I start attending this coming fall allows up to...

    Were it not for the Texas A&M loss,I think we'd be talking about this being the best

    Re: Were it not for the Texas A&M loss,I think we'd be talking about this being the b It's a subjective discussion to be sure. The most talented team in the last 4 years was 2010, yet it was the worst or least successful 'team'. I weight things not just toward accomplishments, but the...

    Did the Crison Tide pull the string too early on some recruits?

    Couldn't agree more, but suspect we have entirely opposite conclusions. ;) fwiw Mike Dubose taught me all I need to know about recruiting rankings and Coach Saban confirmed it, if they're good enough for him, they're good enough for me!

    Thoughts on 2013's Defense.

    What my eyes tell me: • Bama needs Lake to push Ivory as they both need development as there was significant drop off when big Jessie rotated out, however Ivory did play very well in spurts. Translation: Bama needs consistency here. • Pagan & Pettway are going to have a rusty razor blade brawl...

    Question: OL/DL comparison

    To add to this evolving discussion (good job guys) is how the ND LBs and defensive philosophy plays overall. First for the LBs, I noticed NDs LBs play back 5 yards off the line of scrimmage every down that's not a 2nd/3rd and short. If the Bama OL handles the guys up front with 4 OL v 3 DL it...

    Kelly to Stay at Oregon

    Wise move! Now he needs to put more emphasis on size inside on DL and a bit in the LB corp along with adding some power to their rushing attack to counteract the Stanfords etc. whom match up well because of just such leanings.

    Question: How Awesome is the ND o-line?

    In terms of talent comparing ND OL to the Bama OL is a rather obvious mismatch. However they are talented with what I'd grade as a very good LT, LG, & C combo with a servicable-to-solid RG & RT combo. The strength is on the left side of the line. However evaluating them as a unit and their...

    ND Fans Seem to be Bi-Polar at This Point

    Hmmm seems this description might fit, here's a visual aid. To be clear in this allegory the car represents Alabama and the brown shirts represent ND... all wet behind the ears! ;)

    Arkansas hires Wisconsin HC Bret Bielema

    Re: Brett B to Arkansas? As for the hire, stylistically it's a solid fit with Wisky playing smashmouth get after you FB. He's not a bad coach, time will tell how good. I also suspect he isn't so dumb as to bring a bunch of people here to recruit areas they're not familiar with. I suspect...

    Arkansas hires Wisconsin HC Bret Bielema

    Re: Brett B to Arkansas? Doesn't bother me that he complained about Meyer or said he didn't want to be like the SEC, it's a 2 pronged statement: 1- as a rule B10 coaches don't have to work as feverish at recruiting because of their 'gentleman's agreement' to not recruit players after they've...

    Pat Dye says 6 SEC teams would whip Notre Dame :)

    Now maybe he can write an op-ed piece for a South Bend newspaper telling them they're not man enough. 6 teams could-yes 6 teams would-NO

    Murray was hit CLEAN by Dial. After an interception quarterback becomes a DEFENDER

    I think it qualifies as unnecessary roughness as it was far enough away from the returning runner to be away from the play enough to deem it so. However that was NOT a helmet to helmet hit, Dial dipped down and put his shoulder right in the sternum with his helmet grazing Murray's facemask.

    Who's Pulling for the Huskies of NIU?

    Per the OP, NOT ME! I hope they get trucked by 50 or 70, 95 wouldn't hurt my feelings. It's a shame UGA, LSU, even Oklahoma (annually overrated as they are) have to take a backseat to the NIUs of the world.

    Did our d line let us down against tamu?

    TAM was about 2 things and 2 things alone. Bama's weakness in the defensive backfield and Bama coming out flat combined with a red-hot TAM team. Alabama is without a doubt a better team than the Aggies. Give them credit, they did what was necessary to win which is all that matters. However...
