    Should there be an age limit in college football

    I don't think the age limit will work especially for former military guys but I do believe the day you start your college football career it should end 5 years from that date, no exceptions, no injury stuff, just 5 years. I also think the age limitations for pro ball should be dropped. if...

    Texas clearly thinking this is the last year with Manning and it's now or never so they are going all in to sign talent. It reminds me of that guy who used to own the late Washington Redskins. He went out several times and bought up all the talent in the league trying to build a superteam...

    Link: 2026 Transfer Portal

    I realize that in today's pro football climate we aren't going to be more talented on paper than other teams. Certain teams are always going to load up. In fact in my opinion they are buying some players they don't need just to keep them away from teams they think they may face. Essentially...

    Link: Wednesday Thoughts On OL Room

    They key word is execution. Block the right man using the right technique or just be mean enough to knock him on his keester. To get that execution down you may have to reduce the number of plays. The old Packers were known for this but they executed themselves to several championships...

    Link: 2026 Transfer Portal

    So just for my education, the googler says the portal closes on the 16th. Currently there are vastly more players in the portal than have been plucked out of the portal. What happens when the music stops and everybody needs a chair? What happens to the ones that are not picked up?

    Consolidated O-Line discussion - where has the 24-25 team been, and what do we think the goal is for 26?

    If that is the case then DeBoer is in year 3 of the 'Mike Shula how to get fired by keeping Bucket Step Bob" plan. We sometimes criticized apposing coaches for being mercenaries but truth is that football is very similar to fighting a war. In the end laws, legalities, morality none of...

    Question: "Alabama can't run the ball" - Have we ever had that issue before?

    Alabama has more talent than they did in 2006 but the offensive line coaching has been really ineffective. On top of that we live in a different world now. Back then you had a greater number of "easy" games. Games where you could not be at your best and still win and rack up good...

    Consolidated O-Line discussion - where has the 24-25 team been, and what do we think the goal is for 26?

    OL is the only position I know from experience having played it. Alabama's problem is mostly coaching. Yes they have to be big, strong, and have good feet. But It's extremely technical, almost like having to know kung fu or something to be able to manipulate or move your guy. You don't...

    Bama Game Thread: Official PostGame Thread - Bama vs. IU...

    I think Cignetti might be the best coach in the country. Having said that, you are only cinderella once. After this season some of his players will develop a sudden interest in money. Cignetti should just tell them to move on and get some angry division 2 player who he can turn into a...

    Bama Game Thread: Official PostGame Thread - Bama vs. IU...

    So all this pomp and circumstance of the last 5 years and the most saban like clone from the Saban coaching tree takes a bunch of 3 stars, develops them into 5 stars, drills them like marines, gets them to play with 100% intensity, every play, but without any emotion, Like a machine, or...

    I think Hill has shown some potential this year. I don't know about the rest yet. The biggest flaw I have seen is just not hitting the right hole, not seeing the hole, and not breaking enough tackles. YES we do have blocking issues, YES we need to hire consultants to help Grub alter the...

    Bama Game Thread: Official PostGame Thread - Bama @ OU

    Everybody knows this kid is struggling. He went through some horrible stuff this fall and I think he's a bit sidetracked. His playing time has gone down for sure and rightfully so but here is the thing. This kid isn't a great receiver (yet) but he's a generational athlete. When he is on...

    BREAKING AJ McCarron named Stallions Head Coach

    I think the league wanted to manage the rosters at the home office. I'm not sure to what end. Possibly to get local college stars closer to the markets that want to see them. I'm thinking the existing coaches didn't want to try to win with teams that were handed to them without any input...

    How Desirable Is The Michigan Job -- Really?

    I think the Michigan job could be a good one but I think you'd need to cut all ties to past staffs. There is a sickness there that needs to be extricated. The biggest problem is that they are the Auburn to Ohio States's Alabama. They will expect you to win that game more often than not but...

    Why has Bama been terrible on both sides of the line for 4 or 5 years?

    I warn you not to look back. For instance, a glance at our 218 roster will leave you weeping quietly. QB - Tua, Jalen Hurts, Mac Jones RB - Damien Harris, Joshua Jacobs, Najee Harris, Brian Robinson, Jerome Ford RB - Jeudy, Ruggs, DeVonta Smith, Jaylen Waddle It's the same on defense...

    Why has Bama been terrible on both sides of the line for 4 or 5 years?

    I get what they are saying about the analytics but there is computer strong and there is country boy strong. UGA just showed us what country boy strong looks like. We need to get back to that, and I'm not talking about how they look or what music they like. I'm talking about someone who can...

    Too Much on the QB? DeBoer’s One-Dimensional Offense Problem

    The best coaches are willing to change as the circumstances change. Bear had to do it, so did Saban. DeBoer is clearly a good coach, but if he is going to be great, if he’s going to be a champion, he will have to adjust to the environment of the SEC.

    Why has Bama been terrible on both sides of the line for 4 or 5 years?

    I would say we’ve had a few good DL, just not enough of them. I believe it’s coaching am and I’m not sold on our S&C program.

    Bama Game Thread: Official PostGame Thread - Bama vs. UGA...

    I'm not certain if DeBoer has the right mentality to win championships in the SEC. It takes a really cutthroat person who will replace anyone at any level who he thinks isn't doing the job, right down to the guy who does the laundry. BUT..... I believe the real sign of decline is in...

    2026 Early Signing Day

    It's a little concerning to see only one RB, WR, and TE signed. I think we have needs in all three of those positions. I realize you always have the portal but the portal is like a box of chocolates.
