    Who throws for more yards Tua or Jalen?

    I hadn't thought about that. I hope that isn't the case, but you may be right. Most rational people will be aware that Tua is a pretty good counter-argument... so oh well. Regardless, excited to see what Lincoln Riley's system can do for him. Would be awesome if he shows enough on the field...

    Clemson’s boosters have reportedly raised nearly $360 million the past six years

    Ok, maybe I misunderstood your original point. I totally agree that the number of expensive games has had an affect on our attendance for the NCGs the last few years. I just don't think there is a huge income gap bt the alums from each school driving the attendance gap. Beating a dead horse...

    Clemson’s boosters have reportedly raised nearly $360 million the past six years

    Then I think you're ignoring the empty seats near the end of most of our home games. It's natural to take for granted what we have right now (not justifying that attitude - just being realistic). Almost every year since 2009, Alabama has been a part of the CFP or NCG. IMO, fanbase wealth has...

    Clemson’s boosters have reportedly raised nearly $360 million the past six years

    I don't buy this at all... I think this can pretty much be chalked up to excitement on their side as they are in an upswing, similar to where we were in 2009-12, and the complacency that comes from being in big games as often as we have the past ten years.

    Game Thread: 2019 NFL Draft - Rounds 4 - 7 - 11am CDT

    Really frustrating to see Mack and DT drop so far. I have no doubt they can be impact NFL starters (especially DT), but whether it is fair or not, draft capital spent on a player often trumps talent in a teams’ decision-making - see how long Kevin White stuck around on the Bears... They’ll...

    News Article: Alabama Hires Nate Oats From Buffalo

    Re: Alabama Set to Hire Nate Oats From Buffalo I'm cautiously optimistic about the hire. Does make me feel better to see that the Buffalo Wikipedia hounds don't wanna lose their man lol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nate_Oats "On March 14, 2019, Oats signed a contract extension with the...

    How is a game at Williams Brice Stadium (South Carolina)

    I was there for the 2010 game... I was a freshman and it was my first road Bama game. It was obviously a tough loss, but the atmosphere in the stadium was pretty electric. Not sure how it is now that the team isn't as successful. The fans that day weren't shy about being confident (which was...

    Link: Two Veterans Not on Alabama's Updated Roster, With Early-Enrollees Added

    I know mentioning his name brings the wrath of Duron Carter shamers... but does anyone have any updates or knowledge about what went / is going wrong with Davis? His entire career just seems so strange.

    What ex-college football coach is next to join Alliance of American Football League?

    Maybe it's the post-super bowl anxiety of not having real football for half a year.... but I'm actually pretty excited to watch this. Especially Blake Sims and Trent. Need something to keep me from having to watch the NBA.

    Off-Season QB Thread (Tua and the #2)

    Is there is a chance, barring injury, both redshirt? Or does Saban typically like to get 3 guys PT?

    Players leaving early for the draft

    Not saying he won't. Just that based on the direction the NFL is moving, I expect an NFL team to pick him in the top 10.

    Players leaving early for the draft

    By the time everything shakes out, I doubt he makes it past Jacksonville at 7. If not higher. Not saying I think he will necessarily translate well to the NFL - just that teams are that desperate to find a potential franchise QB. His athleticism and accuracy will be enough to get some GM...

    Nice Note on Jalen Hurts at OU

    This seems so petty... Jalen is my favorite player of the last 5 years. I can pretty confidently say that most Alabama fans on here are eager to hear about positive news going on regarding him. Especially during the offseason and especially when the poster was being respectful. Anyone saying...

    Players leaving early for the draft

    Definitely have similar games, but McCaffrey was a true workhorse at Stanford. RollTide_HTTR mentioned the big hit on Kamara's draft stock had little to do with his talent, but rather his college workload. Hopefully Kamara's success will reduce the number of teams who may have previously...

    247Sports' New Feature: Transfer Portal List

    Does anyone have any insight about what is going on at Penn State? Is it something about Franklin that is driving all these players to transfer / leave early? Update: A quick google search answered my question lol. Had no idea he was such a tool...

    Players leaving early for the draft

    Good point. Fortunately for Jacobs, I think Kamara's success is going to have major positive impact on his draft stock - much like Russell Wilson has led to teams being more willing to use early picks on shorter QBs.

    Players leaving early for the draft

    I hope so - just not sure a RB with such a light college workload (relative to guys like Barkley, Elliott, etc.) has ever been that high a pick. Who knows though - especially with guys like Kamara and McCaffrey becoming the preferred RB style in today's game.
