They better win it all for that money they spent.

I hope they fall flat on that face!

I don't get this one. Maybe underrated?

This guy is the HUSKY backer we don't currently have in our lline-up good move to grab him since he fits the one spot we apparently don't have. He can play for a year or two and teach the new guys we recruit for it.

Roster Situation As it pertains to Scholarships per Bama Online's Roster Tracker (Thank god for this, my count was off by 1 or 2 earlier)

38 Offense
40 Defense
3 specialists
Total = 81

Assuming things happen as we hope Noah Carter and Ryan Williams sign, that puts us to 83.

If we get Khalil Jacobs then we're at 84 before Spring Practices barring anything crazy happening in the time frame between now and Feb 1st.

Theirs probably is too.

Dunno, it looks pretty darn accurate to me though.

And it may well be. But these pay sites are often off a number or two, or were under Saban at least. DeBoer might be more open about it like some other coaches. And it isn’t a big deal at all, it doesn’t really matter. Just a FWIW that they really don’t have any more insight on the actual numbers than you. Or I. Or Denise who’s working the register on aisle 7 in Publix.

Very well developed..Diamond in the rough.

Remind me what the Husky position is in his defense?

I believe it's a linebacker-safety hybrid. So . . . a Mark Barron.

Understanding the 4-2-5 Defense - Football Toolbox

The 4.2.5 Defensive strategy as with all defensive schemes, is to prevent the opposing offense from gaining yards and scoring points, either by preventing the offense from advancing the ball beyond the line of scrimmage or by the defense taking the ball away from the offense (referred to as a...

4-2-5 is great. I used it all the time in NCAA Football on my Playstation back in the day.

It's settled then.

Just because a program makes the playoffs, doesn't mean the program is "healthy." Three of the four this season; unhealthy.

I hope Bama is already in contact with some of the Michigan players. It is about to be open season on them after Harbaugh leaves. Is there some talent on their roster that Bama could use?

Maybe a little...they had a lot of upperclassmen on their roster last season.

But Denise did tell me we're winning it all this year, she gave all the referees extra coupons.

I can think of a few I'd love to get if it were an option

Mason Graham - D-line
Josaiah Stewart - EDGE
Derrick Moore - EDGE

That's about it from their roster that we'd want, played last year, and were solid contributors. We could also grab 1 of their 2 tackles but they are just experienced, not world beating tackles. Might be better to just stick with the guys we already have.

Can Bama be in contact with Michigan players, since they still have a coach?

Not supposed to, but it hasn't stopped a lot of other teams from tampering. But there's also some ways to go about it via backchannels that I wouldn't consider outright tampering.
