... just to add one more IE-er to an important point: Alabama DEFINITELY paid players illegally. At one time they even had MUCH enhanced "university" living quarters as well. And the classroom requirements were crap. (Some athletes DID go to school and get a real education, but it was an...

That is classic dynamic resistance strength building. (Some folks need an education, jeez.) I liked the thing particularly nowadays that refs allow the OLine backpush downfield (unless we outlawed it again, as I heard was being talked about.) The drill might also inculcate an automatic balance...

Who cares? They're stupid to rile up what is already a seething beast. "Ball" will not lie.

You can't handle the Truth.

I know nothing about our astoundingly successful recruiting, but it seems "logical" that it must include at least four elements: 1. Good "Pay"; 2. Really impressive Head Coach (as a likable Man's Man); 3. Recruiting staff STRONGLY required to imitate him; 4. WOW facilities and school...

Re: the defense. We're forgetting stuff again. Marcus came out after the second loss and said that the staff cost us. We, the staff, he said, were not intensely enough on the job. We, the staff, were letting things go in practice. Example specifically cited: DBs and LBs were not being challenged...

He did not make out that ND was second class. Hatred creates incredible assumptions and ..... (fill in the blank.) The best that any hater might come up with was that he wanted to learn something from Saban (at a high salary) that he couldn't learn from not-Saban. Yeh. Bitch away about that.

.... amazing to me how the actual history of that game has devolved into baloney. The Alabama Center TOLD everyone after the game why they dominated the play offensively. It was not size nor strength. It was the complete predictability of Diaco's Clockwork defense. Jones had this exact quote...

In my opinion, he absolutely thinks we're favored and can win them all, but as the ex-coach was inventing every tiny phrase that he could not to sound to the audience like a prejudiced homer. If he's going to have any ongoing job in broadcasting, he (at least at the start) can't appear "leaning"...

He ain't wrong. Why would we think he'd say/assess anything otherwise?

eh ... Georgia's still very good. We're just better. I wouldn't assume that Texas beats them, for instance.

Fortunately for us, he'll be throwing into the Hornets Nest of swarming defensive backfields. Maybe he'll be so overconfident he decides to test Leonard Moore.

Both those guys were great, but you could take Adon's answers and publish them as a Master Class in football press con responses.

... and I think that they finally got a class-A coach.

re: post 5369 ...Yeh. Judging others. Exactly what Jesus told me NOT to do. He said Run Your Own Life; I'll Judge the Others. {Of course, ontologically, all souls should act morally. I am not All Souls. Jesus said: act with Charity to the stranger. I get why you cite the Old Testament rather...
