No one should be. Coach Saban has gotten way ahead of a number of NCAA ideas in the past and the magic portal was certainly something he felt very Nostradamus about. Coach made it clear what he thought this would mean for BAMA going forward. April 15, 2021 “We have thought about a strategy that...

The Curry years are not the stuff of BAMA folklore, but I don't have a lot of trouble discussing his time at the Capstone. It was mostly about his failure to win the Iron Bowl and big games in general and even that season we had just come off another Iron Bowl disappointment. Just glad we played...

Keith McCants wasn't on the '92' BAMA team.

Inviting a football fan to state his case about the Heisman is hardly a subtle jab at anyone. Perhaps you are in too big a hurry to be offended by a humble visitor? BAMA has won 4 Heismans in the last dozen years of college football. It would seem to me that when I take a jab at the legitimacy...

OK, but the directive is the same. There is not another football award that has been more politicized than the Heisman. That doesn't mean that all the other major college awards don't fit the same category, but the Heisman is simply number one in popularity and always has been. So the corruption...

Sure, have at it. If you can legitimize the historical narrative that is the Heisman vote and winners, go for it.

You could, especially given that coach Saban wouldn't let Tua complete most of the 3rd quarter much less 4th until the LSU game that year. But I'm discussing the Heisman and Alabama's 125 years of futility. Bart Starr and BAMA's greatest? Only if you want to rightly consider his great NFL...

With that active imagination, you should be a Heisman voter.

BAMA often ran zero coverage and put 11 men on the line at times. Once Miami set, Bama, just before the snap, would morph into the coverage. Our strength on the back half of a great defense matched up perfectly with Miami's strength coming in. Lamar Thomas had no idea the caliber of DBs we had...

There were glaring weaknesses in Alabama's offense. They couldn't throw a forward pass. Miami came into the game with what was considered a much more wide-open and explosive offensive scheme. What the Hurricanes ran into was a generational defense and a great DC named "Brother" Bill Olivier,

That's the point. Playing on a great team is the biggest billboard in the room. Scheme matters too, at times far more than talent. It also doesn't hurt that pure football propaganda for or against these players by biased media members often decides such things. Such are the ingredients of a...

It's been a beauty contest since the beginning. Being highly subjective is what the award has always been and that pretty much defines a football "fan." Kinda like when Gino Torretta beats out Marshal Faulk and Garrison Hearst in '92." Yep, we got a great look at that winner, up close and personal.

At any position? Shaun Alexander, Bobby Humphrey, David (Deuce) Palmer, Amari Cooper, Tua Tagovailoa.

It's a popularity contest that can be manipulated by the press. For BAMA fans, what is stupid is that we didn't have a Heisman winner until 2009. And coming in a close second to that stupidity is Bryce Young being the first QB that has ever won the Heisman for the Crimson Tide. That is mostly...

I agree, with great bias, I might add. BAMA was the second-youngest team in the SEC. A number of Juniors are leaving, including a few that look like they should stick it out. Slade Bolton is one of those. But, there are a ton of receivers coming in and Bolton knows the depth chart much better...
