    My plan to combat NIL......

    Here's the thing though. This isn't about the university passing this along to the ticket holders or alumni. This is about which alumni bases are willing to use existing rules to get ahead. NIL happened and with it came opportunities for additional streams of revenue to come to players...

    Our Freshman Are Grown Men...

    Not uncommon for a multitude of reasons. Boys get held back early on more so than girls due to maturity. But the big thing parents are doing now is holding back in 6th grade. Once you get to 7th grade, your eligibility clock starts ticking. So you are seeing more and more parents hold back in...

    And Auburn won't blink...

    Auburn isn't firing for cause because Harsin would take this to court and it would out their donors publicly. Rest assured, if they could fire for cause they would have already done it. Instead they waited till the man was on vacation and tried to end around him. Chicken **** move. Harsin has...

    Joe Burrow is unconscious playing like a Hall of Famer.

    He's Top 10 in the league in passing yards, passing TDs, completion percentage, average per completion, and QBR. He's had a damned good year. His trajectory looks pretty good and he's clearly got the arm talent.

    Saban rumor?

    Whenever Saban leaves, Kiffin is very much a possibility to Alabama. He's got a lot of support in their program. But I highly doubt Saban would have announced that yesterday during a playoff run. Doesn't sound like him at all.

    Bo Nix transferring.

    Heard rumors of this earlier this week. Dad will want him in a bigger program, but with him coaching in southeast AL and little brother coming out, he might want to stay close to home. I could see a scenario with him ending up at UAB with little brother ending up at Samford.

    Does Auburn losing

    You sure about that? Petersen has a lot of influence on that program and he's given his seal of approval for Harsin to get that job in the past. Him and Harsin are good buddies. Not saying he's put out feelers but I would be shocked if Washington didn't have any interest at all.

    Can Leach find the TE he’s looking for?

    A TE that's capable of doing what he said is hard to find. I saw Austin Williams in the Auburn game trying to block an LB on the goal line and it made me think we could really use a TE to block down there. A Kyle Pitts type would be great, but if there were a bunch of guys like that hanging...

    Reassessing Cohen

    1. Football has had a massive culture change and will finish 7-5 or 8-4 with a Cohen hire 2. Baseball won a national championship with a Cohen hire 3. Volleyball ranked for the first time in program history and has a chance at SEC Co Champs with a Cohen hire 4. Softball just finished with a...

    The playoff committee is slowly losing me

    And this is really the answer. While Michigan lost to Michigan State, Michigan State lost to Purdue. So based on their losses, who is the stronger team? The committee says Michigan even though they lost head to head to Michigan State. Is that the right thing to do? Not sure. But what I can...

    Best Restaurant in Hoover AL

    Tortugas most definitely and they are still open. I ate there two weeks ago. Highly recommend the deep dish all meat pizza. It's expensive but completely worth it.

    Week 10 Polls out

    I've never understood people not wanting our team to be ranked. The more we are ranked the more coverage we get. People want us to get more respect but don't want us to be ranked. Makes no sense. If your team plays a particular way based on their ranking in some poll, you've already lost the...

    Meanwhile over on Nafoom

    Anyone that thinks their game against Liberty will be easy next week is crazy. Freeze coming back to Oxford with with possibly the number 1 overall pick at the helm of his offense could make for some interesting football in Oxford. They finish with Liberty, @TAMU, Vandy, @MSU. They could go...

    What led to this A&M win?

    Bama lost the game when Bill O'Brien threw the ball 3 consecutive times inside the 5 yard line that led to the FG. Absolutely idiotic. Run over Evan Neal 3 times and take your chances. My Bama friends expect personnel changes this week on their end. There's been a lot of talk about some of...

    I don't know anything about Costal Carolina's coach, but..

    Had some issues with recruiting and scholarship violations while at Charleston Southern.
