    Confident QB play vs Not confident QB play

    Agreed. Like you, I'm a bit concerned about Proctor's weight & conditioning. Once is a freshman. Twice is a material question. Leading up to a third year in which you have a chance to be a top draft choice is a way of life. That doesn't count a commitment to Iowa. Then a flip to us...

    Confident QB play vs Not confident QB play

    The thoughts on OL performance are fascinating. I learn so much reading these posts. I too would have thought the sack Tidewater described was a total bust by Proctor. I now understand better that while Proctor might have busted on the play, there were other factors entirely out of his...

    Did you take shop class in junior and/or high school?

    Beyond a 9-week rotation in the 7th grade, I never took shop. Wish I had. I did take typing in the 10th grade -- first year of high school back then. I took it to meet girls -- which was a nice idea....I was one of three guys in the class. The problem was in the execution. Nothing much...

    Confident QB play vs Not confident QB play

    When the opposing D stacks the line with 8 or 9 in the box, with safeties cheating up, I just want us to snap the ball on a silent count and hit a quick slant for 8 yards. Or complete a quick pass to the RB / safety valve and have a TE set the edge (I'd settle for just slowing down the opposing...

    CEO And HR Head Caught On Jumbotron At Coldplay Concert

    Crime Blotter: Florida CB Dijon Johnson faces four charges after gun/drugs/driving arrest

    Forgetting athletes for a moment, I've often wondered what the University of Alabama's position is on the standing of students who are in trouble with the law. For example, suppose there's a guy (not an athlete) who's been charged with rape, but not yet convicted. It's only an accusation, and...

    The transfer portal is hurting my son's chances of playing on the college level.

    I'm sorry for your son and you, Buzz. This is just one of the many unintended consequences of allowing college players in any sport to transfer without limitation because, you know, regular students can do that, so why can't athletes? The truly elite HS prospects will get D-1 offers. But in...

    JessN: 2025 Roster Rundown: Defensive Backs

    Excellent DB talent and good depth. If we can materially reduce the DPI calls, it’ll be a real strength. Gotta reduce those DPIs.

    I'd always rather have the commitment than have to try to flip -- especially if the kid committed to the home school that he grew up rooting for. But you're right....even if he commits to us in the next few weeks, it'll be far from over.

    Another Boeing bites the dust...

    Somebody — we don’t yet know who — did this intentionally. Could be the pilot who denied cutting anything, creating cover for himself on the black box voice recorder. Could be the pilot who asked how come both fuel systems were shut down, creating cover for himself. Could be a third person...

    Question: Who was the best team that ever defeated Alabama in the regular or post-season?

    I think you have to consider the evolution of football over the years. As in, teams that dominated the competition in the 60s and 70s would get crushed by only good teams today. That said, I think the 2019 LSU team was the best team we ever lost to. They may not have had a great D, but it was...

    This thread is a great example of why TideFans has the best posters on the inter-webs. Knowledgeable on a variety of topics, and willing to share their expertise. I’ve known Isaiah 63:1 for more years than either of us would like to admit…..since well before TF was a gleam in BamaNation’s...

    Deion says salary cap needed ... and I agree

    While I think his motives and timing are more than a little suspect, Sanders is right. We do need a salary cap and a way to confirm the legitimacy of outside pay-for-play money that doesn't come from the school. Trouble is, I'll be shocked if any of that stands up to a court challenge -- which...

    Another Boeing bites the dust...

    So….one pilot asked the other why he cut off the fuel. The answer was a denial that he had cut off the fuel. And it’s realistically impossible to do that accidentally. And the 737 has been in heavy service for decades without this ever happening. And the plane crashed because both engines...

    Crime Blotter: Florida CB Dijon Johnson faces four charges after gun/drugs/driving arrest

    My suggestion makes an indictment only an event of default, And requires that the indictment be for a felony. It allows for a range of outcomes for the reasons you cite. It mainly allows for case-specific response. An admittedly extreme example is Darius Miles. Right now, he’s only...

    Crime Blotter: Florida CB Dijon Johnson faces four charges after gun/drugs/driving arrest

    I agree with your idea, but would suggest taking it further. If you get indicted for a felony, it’s an event of default on your whole deal — revenue sharing, NIL, whatever. All payments of any description stop immediately, and we go back to the negotiating table. Depending on the specific...

    Question: Tax experts and/or lawyers; How much from a settlement should I set aside for taxes?

    I think the consensus is to consult a pro who knows your personal tax situation, the terms of the settlement, and the tax implications of those terms. DzynKing has the best advice -- whatever your net amount (whether that's 100% of the gross, or something less), invest it.
