If you can recall the 2023 CFP, you no doubt remember how crucial a factor that the center, Seth McLaughlin, played in the Alabama-Michigan game. Apparently it had been such an issue, Tide fans made whole videos about it.
Funny, I don’t recall the issues with snapping in the SECG, but I digress.
Anywho, the outcry was so bad, the center transferred from Alabama, much to the delight of angry Tide fans everywhere.
I believe Derek opined about this in the Playpen on Wednesday, but social media is a terrifyingly bad place for takes sometimes, but I digress again.
Then there’s this:
That’s even after tearing his Achilles and not playing the final games of the season. Question – did you see any growth from any Alabama player this season? Or ever?
Interesting post, JP. Thanks for it.
Pretty shitty of people who call themselves supporters of a college team to take time to do this. I will bet they found a hell of a lot of great blocks in their research that they ignored.
Mclaughlin wound up at a better place.
Forget it, JP. It’s Alabama.
Good for him. And shame on those Bama fans. But as we all know, every fan base has them, even ours. It’s a bad look.
Well JP…Bama fans are going to call you “a hater”.🙄 (I know..who cares?)
If you say or write anything south of neutral about Alabama, their fans immediately call you a “hater”. There are some reasonable Bama fans but they do have an inordinate amount of dummies. Yeah..every program has them..and it’s usually the ones that know the least about football that crow the loudest about which kid on the field is the problem. Georgia has too many. Alabama is filthy with them. Good for Seth M! He’s going to make a heap of money in the NFL! I suggest he make a big show of donating a lot of money to Auburn every year!
True Alabama fans should call the Bammers out, but they won’t. I would venture to guess that most Bammers never stepped foot into a classroom in Tuscaloosa.
“Question – did you see any growth from any Alabama player this season? Or ever?”
I suppose a diehard bama fan could name a few, but I don’t recall many ‘rags to riches’ stories like Kirby commonly has had with SBIV, McConkey, Dan Jackson, Stokes, Jordan Davis, maybe Brian Herrion, etc., etc. I’m talking 3-star or lower.
