Might need him to put on some weight and play RT.

[Krimson]

I think I need to invest in a neck brace. Avoid the whiplash of so much back and forth of player movement.

Or just don't worry about it until it's all over.

 

[Justneedme81]

Get the Kirklands brand at Costco . They are half the price and just as good according to my wife.

I've tried the Kirkland brand and I like it. I usually get kirkland brand whenever I'm hosting a large party.

 

[footballer]

Or just don't worry about it until it's all over.

Yeah, you're right. There is too much other legitimate stuff for me to worry about.

The football chips will fall where they may. Like it or not.

The football chips will fall where they may. Like it or not.

Getting so I'm less and less concerned about the actual season. The rest of this stuff is just crazy to try to follow. Will be interested in who they finally bring in and what coaching changes are made but I'll wait on the dust to settle and see then.

 

[TerryP]

The rest of this stuff is just crazy to try to follow.

In my opinion the only way to truly know what's happening with kids and basketball you have to immerse yourself in the world of advisors and coaches in AAU.

It's also my opinion the same can be said about college football today: it's advisors and agents here. And, in spite of what we know about the AAU circuits, CFB feels dirtier because of those agents and advisors.

To closely and accurately follow where someone will play? You have to immerse yourself in that world. Which, is indeed, crazy.

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

They F Up everything they touch. College football is next.

My own world is convoluted enough already. Trying to keep up with the whims of the young men and women in the college sports world, it's just not worth any effort.

 

[rick4bama]

Rumors floating that if Smothers does go to Texas that Bama would end up with Raleek Brown instead, Smothers posted his Bama commitment picture again...gonna just let the dust settle on this.

I will say, if I'm the staff, I use this as a lesson. Nothing matters until the name is signed on the line, don't settle for a "commitment" push for a signing now.

I just heard he was enroll in classes at Bama? Is that true?

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

I just heard he was enroll in classes at Bama? Is that true?

He is more than likely registered, which is enrolled. Doesn't mean he has to follow through with it yet.

 

[TerryP]

it's just not worth any effort.

Some, may have been McAfee, said it was just like a scripted wrestling story.

 

[Slickmullet]

Think about what you are saying here.

Would you rather have a situation like that which happened with Ross at LSU where you had the staff telling a kid, "take or leave it." The guy who takes it? That isn't going to be the one you rely on in November.

This kid is making a decision that impacts his life from now until the day he dies. He chooses not to sign because he hasn't made up his mind. But, the staff are "total goobers" because they didn't pressure him into doing something he wasn't sure about?

He's not signed already because he doesn't want to sign yet.

You made a similar comment about the offensive line the other day. Tell me who is a part of the offensive line when spring camp starts.

Is the humidity really high as of late in your area? I ask because the slick mullet looks like a bad perm on a humid day; frizzled.

Absolutely they are “goobers”. The kid is enrolled in school already and hasn’t signed a deal? Total fail. It’s a bad look for Bama.

 

[24and7]

They better have Smothers' recruiter get on the job and have his ass fix this situation, snuff out the rumors and avoid a choke job.

Dudes can't help themselves... Texas (and others)are throwing massive amounts of money, perks and poontang his wildest dreams couldn't even match..

I'm definitely not that dedicated.
