Ridiculous. I wish the players would just turn it off but I know they're curious, too natural at that age.

Bitch to one another if we have to but the Tweeting at the players or tagging them, or the team, when fans are running their stupid mouths is just ignorant.

They’re kids, away from home, probably for the first time. A lot thrown at them in a short amount of time. I don’t pretend to understand Twitter, and need a translator when I see one, I’m old, lol. What I’ve gathered reading, is kids feed off of it. When one of the players make a bone a$$ tweet, there is grown adults, tweeting (?) back and lowering themselves to a teenager’s level. Not a good look for supposed grownups.

With how bad the games were last week I wonder if the NCAA will think about a closed scrimmage between schools like they do with basketball

This one wanted to show off in front of his friends and thought my windows were rolled up when going down the road. It’s all well and good now. She laid down some ultimatums and requirements he didn’t like them so it’s over.
I think some of these kids have never had a father figure in their lives or if they did he allowed women to just degrade him and it shows with respect toward men. Society in general is trying its best to emasculate our men and I refuse to allow it to happen to me. I always try to be nice to the little turds but that always seems to backfire.

Just don't ever forget that almost every one of those boys are thinking the exact same thing u were thinking about, at the same age. My daughter is now 28, has her Associates Degree, a good job and no kids. Now, my son has given me 2 granddaughters before the age of 23, and is, in the immortal words of Red Forman, "a dumbass"

Sometimes when you get angry it’s better to take a walk and cool down. I saw that on a TV show, My Three Sons, when I was in middle school. I just naturally thought that’s what everybody did. I don’t always start the walk early enough but if I don’t take the walk at all I’ll probably regret it.

So I apologize for calling Jeremy an idiot and a pussy. Those were words spoken in anger.

He has said we have a good football team this year. He’s said we’ve had really good practices. I take his word for all of that because there’s a lot of secondary data that suggest that should be the case. We should be better than last year.

My criticism is basically that he didn’t prepare his team for the game last Saturday. It didn’t even seem like a good practice plan. He hasn’t acknowledged that, I guess to my satisfaction, publicly. Maybe he’s done it privately. I looked at Saban’s response to his early loss to Louisiana Monroe and he took ownership and apologized to the fanbase.

To me when you’ve sinned, done something that you know is wrong, even if only in retrospect, and I’m just using that as an expression, repentance, I’ve always thought, involved recognizing your error, apologizing, and pledging to at least try to avoid making the same error again. I don’t think this is religious per se. It’s just a good practice when we make mistakes in any of our circumstances in life. jmo.

We should bounce back so I’m thinking maybe 8-4 realistically. I really do think that’s possible because I think we have pretty decent players, and if we can beat Florida then that’s even better. My biggest concern remains the defense. I am skeptical we can win shootouts with our offense. I do think last Saturday was an anomaly. It shouldn’t have happened and I think most people would agree, including Vegas. jmo.

Again, I apologize to Jeremy and everyone else for calling him names.

I didn't think your post was terribly out of line and I think a lot of us feel your pain. I still appreciate you standing up and addressing everyone that you thought you might have wronged.

Devils advocate on Ed O.... he’s basically just a motivated and recruiter and let’s his coordinators have full control. You can win a lot of games like that. Very similar to fulmer here from the structure standpoint

Treating like you should? As a CEO? Nah that’s what I want

I don’t think I am ready to say that the CEO route is the way it should be.

I’d point to Saban, Kirby, Mullen, Riley and others that seem to be more hands on that just being CEOs
