| FTBL The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Preseason

[alabama mike]

For those of you new to the sight, I always put on the good, bad and ugly thread after each Bama game. To the veterans on here, I thought I would run a preseason thread to get everyone warmed up for the start of the season. What are you seeing as good, bad and ugly so far? It does not have to be AL A BAM A related.

 

[alabama mike]

Good- college football is getting ready to start!

Bad- CBS is off on many TV channels

Ugly- Injuries to players before the season starts

Good - Rubber meets the road and it's time to stop speculating/gossiping and we get to actually see what our boys have this year.

Bad - State of college football with conference realignment, NIL, and just the Wild West mentality that takes a lot of what we loved so much away from us.

Ugly - Money Money Money

Good. Emphasis on D. DC from past 3 years gone.
Bad. NIL. PORTAL. Poaching teams for realignment. Anderson n Young going to nfl
Ugly. Ummmm... Northwestern stuff. Ticket prices.

 

[rick4bama]

Good: Bama Football is BACK!!
Bad: NIL,Portal,conference realignment

Ugly: Before the first game is over the neg. post I will see on the game thread!

 

[UAgrad93]

Good- Football season is just days away!!

Bad- the 900 different perspectives and speculations as to who will be our starter at QB!

Ugly- traditional conferences being destroyed and NIL

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

It won't seem like it, but I wrote out my reply below then went back and read the others to see if I was repeating anyone. Turns out, I'm pretty much plagiarizing @UAgrad93... but he's not a bad one to agree with, so I'm rolling with it!

Good- Alabama begins the year for the first time in a while not being burdened with ridiculous expectations… UGA is having to wear the heavy crown, and Saban should be able to push some buttons with this team in a way he hasn’t been able to push in quite a while.

Bad- The incessant talk (everywhere I turn), and needless panic at this point, about Alabama’s QB situation for the last few months. I think it's going to be ok, folks.

Ugly- Another year where we see more college football traditions eroded, and the fabric of college football itself further torn thanks to NIL, transfer rules, the conference arms races, etc. Also, other than 2 or 3 games, week 0 and week 1 suck.

Good- Football is about to start

Bad- The idiotic freak outs about Bama QB

Ugly- We’re getting closer to the illustrious game day threads

SITE BULLETIN: You know who you are (MunchyOs). If you haven't already, go pick up your anxiety meds or medical grade weed and take plenty off it before kick off. No one wants to hear your schizophrenic doom and gloom ramblings in the game threads because a QB threw an interception.

And so.....it starts

 

[PurlJam]

Good - For folks living in Alabama, High school football starts tonight.

Bad - The delusions of grandeur of some fans before those first games getting skull drug.

Ugly - Probably most of the first weeks game matchups this weekend, but, what the hell, it's still college football.

Post of the Year nominee
However, to Munchy’s credit, he usually makes good once he cools off!

Dang things a slipped up on me, is this weekend week zero? I need to get my pickems in by when or is it to late?

 

[Kirk Van de Graaff]

Good- Milroe is my guy, he will start. much improved Defense and Offensive line. Watch our TE's
Bad- NIL, Period.
Ugly- Middle Tennessee being the start of the season. I pity them.

I have never been on the in game thread, nor have I gone back and read any of them. I will take more notice this season though. I love when folks go all scorched earth!!!!
My brother was once in the meltdown thread, after the 1st ole miss loss (Saban era).
“4 million dollars for that crap sandwich”

This reminds me we need to buy the live thread thing for game threads...thanks.

You can learn A LOT about members in game threads. I've said it a lot...I'd love to have some of these guys on the golf course betting...most couldn't pay their mortgage by the turn.

Good: Less than a year ago there were serious doubts that Eboigbe would play again with his neck injury. He's had a good fall camp.

Bad: I don't think I've seen the media as bad as it is today. I don't think I've ever seen such a disparity between what fans know versus what the media doesn't. Horrible coverage this fall.

Ugly: I get not liking other teams. I don't like Tennessee. But, I can't put my finger on what's up with Chris Doering. There's an unhealthy hatred there?
