Saban seemed like he was ready to take on the world in his press conference today. Took multiple people to task, found it pretty damn funny. Even my wife was laughing from the other room.

If we can squeeze in a home and home in 2024-2025, that would be awesome. Not sure who's available though yet.
So - went to the game, actually had Suite Tickets on the 25 yard line.
Not much to say outside of it just being a frustrating 1st quarter. The OL looks horrendous, and Ford, while clearly a RB3, is not a typically Alabama RB (in the bad way).
Juedy is a monster, and the use of TE's was promising.
The LB's actually looked good considering they are freshmen, and the biggest threat Duke had was running it up the middle in the first half, and then throwing the long ball down the side.
All fine considering that it's the first game of the year.
Next up are some really easy games against NM State, South Carolina, Southern Miss, and Ole Miss.
Tua goes to the Dolphins, Ruggs to the Raiders, Jeudy to the Broncos, Wills to the Browns, McKinney to the Giants, Diggs to the Cowboys, Davis to the Giants, Lewis to the Rams, Jennings to the Patriots
So who do you think landed in the best spot and who landed in the worst?
I’m not crazy about Ruggs in Vegas. The Raiders pissed away Coopers talent from the moment they drafted him. It will be interesting to see if they will utilize Ruggs correctly.
I think Jennings to the Patriots will be a great move. Get him on a veteran defense in a great system, and he can learn from some of the best. Him next to Dante Hightower is scary as hell.
Diggs to Cowboys could go either way. They are gonna need him to play from the start and his aggressive style of play is gonna get him burned at times. Hopefully his talent will shine through. I cant wait to see Jeudy in Denver. He is gonna shine wherever he goes. Love that kid. And of course I hope Miami takes it slow with Tua. I just want him to stay healthy because he could take them all the way if they take care of him and surround him with talent.
