  1. How many miles will it take To see the sun And how many years until it's done Kiss my confusion away in the night Lay by side when the morning comes And the baby looks around him And shares his bed of hay With the burrow in the palace of the king He's a stranger in a strange land Tell me why He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land
  2. I didn't say that I am sure it will happen; I was just broaching the possibility. When push comes to shove, many players want to play on the big stage. Henry To'o To'o is a prime example. He could have stayed at Tennessee but their program is floundering, and has been for some time. Now he is calling signals at Alabama and imo, would be an interesting draft pick at ILB. He already got great exposure (the SEC Title Game vs. GA) and is headed for the playoffs. Scouts and GMs obviously watch these games. I'm not sure if you caught this but Alabama recently signed former LSU Cornerback Eli Ricks from the portal, and he is at least in the top 5 corners in the NCAA. They also just signed an excellent RB in Jahmyr Gibbs from Georgia Tech. Btw Saban wasn't a fan of the tranfer portal and warned that the rich would get richer. He tends to know what he is talking about.
  3. Many a mile to freedom, many a smile to tell Ask my bluebird to sing you, from the heart of a wishing well Call all my reindeer to graze here, call all my grain to grow Then together we flow like the river Then together we melt like the snow
  4. I doubt it. He might even be wearing Crimson LOL!!!
  5. Baby, I need your lovin' Baby, I need your lovin' Although you're never near Your voice I often hear Another day, 'nother night I long to hold you tight 'Cause I'm so lonely Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin' Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all you lovin'
  6. As I recall, he was 4th if not 5th string. I'm serious. When he transferred out, nobody cared as far as I know. I too wish him well except for Saturday.
  7. We need more speed at wide receiver. I would prefer giving Roscoe Parrish another shot.
  8. You're my lover girl And I'm your lover boy Love is no game Let's not take it for a toy It's like the good book says You have to reap just what you sow (What you sow, what you sow)
  9. Have you seen your mother baby, standing in the shadow? Have you had another baby, standing in the shadow? You take your choice at this time The brave old world or the slide to the depths of decline, of decline
  10. Lets see where he plays next season, no?
  11. Wow, Georgia has players out including their QB. The NCAA announced there weird rules about teams stricken with covid and unable to field a team having to forfeit!!! Can anyone begin to imagine the exploding heads across America if Alabama (whose OC and OL Coach (Marrone) tested positive) was named the national champions by virtue of covid?????? @ArdmoreRyno if the above happens, I am here to help. All kidding aside, Happy Holidays and enjoy the games (if they happen). https://wolverineswire.usatoday.com/2021/12/22/georgia-bulldogs-jt-daniels-george-pickens-in-covid-19-protocol-nine-days-before-college-football-playoff/
  12. He never really recovered from the injury. I think that he will. I will say that almost every poster on this board said that Mac Jones would suck. Some still think this. I do not. He will never, ever be as good as Josh, but the kid is smart and he can play. Every year before the draft I rate the Alabama players. Of course I have missed on some, but I’m usually close. Last season was easy.
  13. Actually, it say here that it can be a stimulant and a depressant. https://owlsnestrecovery.com/is-marijuana-a-stimulant-or-depressant/ https://haveaheartcc.com/is-marijuana-a-depressant/
  14. Weed is a stimulant? I don't think so Promo.
  15. Interesting. What do you think he would bring in a trade? Could they get a 3rd round pick?
  16. LOL! The thing is BB that these are the players that I see the most of, and the ones I feel capable of evaluating after having watched them for their entire stay in Tuscaloosa.
  17. And now A quarter of my life is almost past I think I've come to see myself at last And I see that the time spent confused Was the time that I spent without you And I feel myself in bloom So, darling, be home soon I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled My darling, be home soon It's not just these few hours, but I've been waiting since I toddled For the great relief of having you to talk to
  18. If the schedule is increased, many players will opt out of the playoffs imo. They are already opting out of bowl games. The injury rate for football players is 100%. It is only a matter of how servere the injuries are. These kids (a huge percentage of them from poverty stricken backgrounds) risk millions of dollars on every play, let alone extra games. Should they be forced or even asked to play more games in order to satisfy the whims and dreams of fans who cheer for teams that are just not up to standards 99% of the time (Big 12 teams for example)? If they expand to 8, fans of so so teams will cry for 12. Then 16. All football fans have a bit of that gladiator audience mentality imo. That said, it is unfair for these college players to take upon even more risk than they already do. If some games were eliminated from the schedule and conference championship games were eliminated, perhaps I could support expanded playoffs. As far as all conference play, that too is unfair. Teams in the ACC and Big 12 would only play the patsies in their own weak ass divisions, no? Please, correct me where I am wrong.
  19. Thanks for responding, but; you seem to not want to answer direct questions.
  20. Ok, let me answer 1 at a time if you will..... 1) It is not Nick Saban's fault that they play a few weak non-conference teams every season. Teams do not want to play Alabama. The weak teams are paid to do so. Once again, kudos to OSU for having the courage to face Alabama. 2) Last season, Alabama played an all SEC schedule. They destroyed every team except Florida, who they beat by "only" 6 points. Their non-conference games were against Notre Dame and Ohio State, both of whom they destroyed. If you don't think that they were/are legit champions, then you are too clouded by hatred and jealousy to face the obvious. They were the absolute best team in 2020 and up there with, if not the best ever. 3) This Alabama team is coming around, but they are just not as good as the 2020 team, and I never said that they are. Now that this is out of the way, I want to add that I almost never bet games, despite the fact that I am usually correct about Alabama (and the Bills btw). When I do wager I don't post it here, because I'm afraid someone might listen to me, lose money, and get angry. That said, I bet on Alabama against Georgia plus 6 1/2. I also bet them with no points getting 2x1 odds and made a small chunk of money. I did so because you should NEVER give points to Nick Saban, let alone lay odds against him. Never. Now, I will NOT be betting on the Tide against Cincy. Bama is very good but this is not 2020, where laying 14 against Cincy would have been a laughing matter. it still MIGHT be but I'm not as sure. Now, pleae tell me, do you think that OSU, or any other team in the Big 12 would stand a reasonable chance against Alabama or Georgia? I mean really. Btw, when Texas A&M left the Big 12 they were able to recruit better players. Players who wanted to face good competetion. Texas will improve in a hurry. Oklahoma probably will not, thus the rapid departure of Lincoln Riley. He went out west to face the same type of weak competetion that he faced at Oklahoma, and he will because at USC, he will out recruit the west coast teams. In any event, I wouldn't be so upset with an 8 team playoff, providing it did NOT mean extra games for already overworked kids who are risking millions of dollars on every play, let alone every game. PS: Would players opt out of expanded playoffs? I don't know, you tell me. Peace and Happy Holidays!
  21. Why not? Because college students should not be required to play 20 game seasons in order to satisfy the whims of fans of sub-par teams. The bolded is just so laughable that a comment would be a waste of time.
  22. Eliminate the guard and toss in a running back (with the DB and DT) and you will have what does resemble the Bills recipe for being a losing franchise.
  23. Sorry my good friend, not even close. We desperately need blockers and receivers.
  24. Maybe for old times sake we can trade up to #9 in round 1 and draft Spiller.
  25. How can people have no feeling? How can they ignore their friends? Easy, to be proud Easy to say no Especially people who care about strangers Who care about evil and social injustice Do you only care about the bleeding crowd? How about a needed friend? I need a friend
