    BOR to vote on alcohol at Haymarket Park

    Alcohol decision aside (I’m for it at PBA & Haymarket, but not Memorial), what the heck happened with Ewald? FWIW, I highly doubt he joins TA at aTm.

    Kalen to Bama. Done deal

    How much Saban steps out of DeBoer’s way (or not) intrigues me. On one hand, he could seamlessly transition to broadcasting on E(SEC)PN. On the other hand, Saban really wanted DeBoer’s OC (Grubb) last offseason. He could be a huge advantage in DeBoer’s back pocket. Regardless, as long as DeBoer...

    Next Alabama Coach

    Not surprised it isn’t Lanning. Plenty of money now that Oregon is in the Big 10, plus plenty more to go around thanks to Phil Knight. I’ll be curious to see who steps into Saban’s footsteps.

    Remember when Rhule said.....

    Back in March, I remember some local sports media voices saying out loud on radio that we only had a chance to land 3/13 guys in-state. That’s changed a little since then.

    An expanded playoff fixes this

    100% agree. It will be a ratings bonanza on the 1st day of the 12-Team CFP, much like the 1st/2nd rounds of March Madness. People won’t leave the couch (or the bar) next year as they watch the 1st round games on the #5 - #8’s campus sites. By 2033, they’ll probably have it expanded to a 16-Team...

    An expanded playoff fixes this

    The more I think about what the CFP committee did yesterday, the more I doubt a 12-Team Playoff will fix what happened yesterday. It might make it more fun, but I don’t know if it will unilaterally fix it. I have a hunch it will just widen the goalposts for the teams contracted with ESPN/Disney...

    Tony White gets a new deal

    This is relieving news for continuity. I’d be shocked if we had very many defensive players enter the portal this coming Monday. Can we please go find some more weapons for the offensive side of the ball?

    All Big 10 first team D

    On second thought, Newton at 5-7 Illinois over Ty is baffling. Felt like Ty was getting double teamed more than Newton was. You know what though? Great bulletin board material for the 2024 Defense.

    Westside QB Off to ND

    The tough part about QB recruiting is that offers come much faster and in waves if the QB tests well at 7on7 camps, regional camps, satellite camps, etc. And yes, if you are talented enough - and don’t go to camps - you can still get plenty of looks. But it’s a timing thing in the recruiting...

    Please, just go get clutch f***** dudes for the offensive side of the ball.
