  1. He was someone I was excited to see get an opportunity this year.
  2. Jack is suited to be a platoon bench bat at best. I’d take Jake McKenzie over him at 1B right now. If those were my options
  3. I said last year he needed to be coming out of the bullpen. I know last year he was just an opener knowing he was probably only going to pitch 1 or 2 innings but it’s just a different mindset, especially for a guy you know wants to start again and who has at a high level. Short quick outings out of the pen where he can give max effort for those 3 outs is where he needs to be. Then go from there
  4. He desperately needed a little confidence
  5. We went into the lab and made a more disciplined Trey Faltine
  6. Tulo effect??
  7. We get 3 years of Will Gasparino… Just puts a smile on your face
  8. Kameron Fields all over again
  9. He looks lanky but man does Flores have a lot of power in that swing
  10. O’Dowd is probably trembling right now. Righty making his collegiate debut
  11. Harrison has everything except velocity on his fastball, much closer to being an asset to this team than Witt is
  12. Thankfully though we have a nice crop of Freshman, and Gasparino bails out O’Dowd
  13. He is just lost up there mechanically, not even getting his foot down in time to hit the ball
  14. Personally I’d like to see Kennedy bat 2nd to get more speed at the top and break up the lefties.
  15. Yeah we already know that answer but I get Pierce trying to give a Senior as many opportunities as possible
  16. Interesting O’Dowd is getting the start against a Lefty
  17. This team has to much talent to continue to trot O’Dowd out there every game
  18. Should be a lot of tinkering with 4-9 in the lineup over the next 4 games.
  19. Casey Cummings in the doghouse or something?
  20. Hopefully this is the spark that lights the fire, a lot of pressure on the young man and given his reserved nature he seems to be very hard on himself. Tonight performance gives you confidence you can't fake. Little running game tonight, didn't flinch, made good decisions and took care of the ball.
  21. Most of Quinn’s passing yards were YAC. That isn’t a knock either as a lot of that is good play design and Quinn getting the ball where it needs to go. He still has absolutely no feel for the deep ball. He throws the ball to the sky instead of down the field and I’m not sure why. Rice put us in a box and had a pretty good game plan, they just have no where near enough talent for it to have mattered. A big reason the run game struggled is because Rice had zero concern for any ball with more than 15 air yards on it, and that belief only strengthened with every deep ball Quinn threw. If Quinn looks the same in Tuscaloosa and Sark is reluctant to give Malik a shot, the defense will have to give a Herculean effort just to keep the game close.
  22. Either Sark has the balls to put Malik in, or he will be looking for another job
  23. I think it would be funny if the Big 12 went and got Washington State, Oregon State, and Arizona while ASU and Utah got hung out to dry. Probably won’t happen but boy if it did it would be hilarious
  24. All things evolve over time, just like the bowl system pre-BCS evolved over time. You can agree or disagree with what it became, but personally I don't see anything wrong with that outcome. Just like you could say Alabama should have just beaten LSU if they wanted to win a National Title. I could easily say the same for Stanford and Iowa State. Pitting teams against each other in the best interest of the bottom line wasn't new to the BCS, it just happened to be the first time it resulted in two teams from the same conference playing against each other, and the further out rage was because they had already played. I don't think it was fair that 31 coaches voted Oklahoma the #1 team in the country to only 4 for Texas in 2008 but such is life. I just think the argument for Oklahoma State/Stanford is weak. Mostly because it is strictly based on what ifs that can only be countered by what ifs. ETA: I have always been a fan of underdogs getting their chance which is why I am excited for the 12 team playoff. In this case though I just think the argument for Oklahoma State and Stanford is weak.
  25. What is your argument for getting in though? Both Stanford and Okie State were ahead of Alabama until they lost. Stanford lost by 23 (53-30) at home to Oregon. You all lost to Iowa State on the road, an Iowa State who finished 6-7. Alabama lost 9-6 to the #1 team at home, a game where they missed 4 FGs. The closest game Alabama played all year was a 16 point road win against Penn State. Seems like the only argument (or at least the most used argument) for Ok State or Stanford is that they hadn't played LSU yet so they should get a shot. The goal posts have always moved and voters/CFP committee have always leaned on whatever data points fit their narrative for that season, I don't agree with it, but I don't think anybody would say Alabama wasn't the 2nd best team heading into the National Title game. Saying you didn't win your division or conference doesn't really matter to me at least. Do you think 2006 Nebraska was better than Texas? Texas won in Lincoln, why wasn't Texas in the conference championship game? What about 2004 Colorado? The Big 12 in the first decade of the 2000s is a perfect example of how awful divisions can be. I hate divisions, I think a 2008 Big 12 championship game between Texas and OU would have been pretty cool, or a 2004 Big 12 Championship game between Texas and OU. Divisions for a long time have often kept the two best teams in a conference from playing in a conference championship game (which was just added for extra revenue in the first place)
