Cheer up ! We can probably avoid the annual handwringing over getting under 85 this year.

Seriously, we haven't seen any of the UW portal guys announce yet. They don't have a player like Downs, but they obviously had some talent.

Right now, we barely have enough players in the secondary to have 5 DBs on the field at the same time. I don't think it matters how nuts the fans get. Our team is getting decimated.
I agree, I don't understand all these players leaving. It leads me to believe that the culture on this team was in a decline over the last several seasons.
 
They the NCAA have collectively been trying to figure out how to neutralize Saban and his work ethic for over a decade. They exhausted all options except one. BURN DOWN COLLEGE FOOTBALL AS WE KNOW IT. They broke the glass and pulled the lever...

I'm afraid the only way to fix this now is for all college football fans to find something else to do on Saturdays for about 4 years. Cut off the source. Make it a "sport" again.

As someone previously mentioned, it’s just a different time we are in now when we see kids come and go in the portal, either to chase NIL, play for a certain position coach, etc. These guys want NFL careers. Do they think their position coach will follow them to the NFL? This is about instant gratification, with a casualty being mental toughness and overcoming adversity.

They come here and rent the adoration from fans, and are treating the schools as short term rental development and NIL factories. I wish them no ill will, but don’t let the doorknob hit you on the way out.
 
I work for a university and it doesn’t matter if you are student athlete or just regular student. It seems half the students think a W is an actual grade on their transcript with a lot of students. It used to be rare to see a W on a transcript but not anymore they are all over the transcripts now.
When I was at Alabama, there were classes that I should have withdrawn from! My GPA would have been a hell of a lot better! But no...... I was brought up that you didn`t quit just because the going got tough. You just worked that much harder.
 
Michigan didn’t have as far to fall as Bama does. We spent a lot of years on the mountaintop, Michigan touched it one time.
Still going to be fun to watch someone else go through this…This 30 day window where you can only talk to Bama players (I know that’s not the rule…) is rough!

Yep, and everyone is just frothing at the mouth to stick it to BAMA.
Indeed. To state the obvious, we are the happy hunting ground, and it`s looking like there`s not much we can do about it. Like buzzards on a carcass. Sark and Kirby, I believe, have an overt goal of leaving us as a mere shell of our former selves. JMO, but I think the team will have little, if any, resemblance to this past season, both personnel and schematically. What that`ll mean for W`s and L`s, nobody knows. Doesn`t feel very comfortable, though.
