Man, this takes me back to my adolescence. I was in High School when Shula was coach. I was very passionate and around ‘05 I remember getting annoyed and upset about Lee Roy Jordan saying something about our team being undersized and undisciplined and basically a bunch of scrubs. But he was totally right and I figured that out when we hired Saban and saw how much better we played, and then started getting his players, lol.
yeah, I am right there with you. I suspended YouTubeTV after Alabama lost in the NCAA Tournament. I am on the fence if I will end up canceling all together.
In CKD’s defense this is the way to do it when you’re not a big fish in a little pond. Alabama has lost recruits to money already, there’s no reason to give opponents with lots of cash free access to video of your players. Even this format allows that, but to a lesser degree.
I’m just speaking to the game as a whole.
Our only hope for initiating guardrails on all this NIL/Portal junk is when game day stadiums across the country look like A-Day.
it looks slightly better than an Alabama Baseball attendance. There were more people at 5 of the 7 state championship games this year than A-day.
That is a fun idea but our reality right now is we can’t even get CFB kids to dress out for Bowl games they deem meaningless.
There are creative ways to avoid injuries for exhibition games. I think it would be better than a glorified practice.
No kidding... Remember seeing pictures of our guys in 2012 compared to 2005 and even though I knew we were a totally different team physically by 2008... It was simply crazy how much better developed we were and you could see how Saban's philosophy about who he took based on templates of a certain size made the difference.
