It would be interesting to note how many football players opt for the NFL for academic reasons. Some, perhaps many of these athletes aren’t in school for any academic reason. They simply take enough blow-off courses to remain eligible before they declare for the NFL. Perhaps a shallow look into these folks will find they would have been on ‘double secret’ probation and be kicked out of school anyway the next semester. Meanwhile, the seats they infrequently occupy deny another academically superior student access to a college education. When I listen to some athletes get interviewed on either radio or television, they can barely speak English. I’ve counted 7 “you knows” in a single sentence from an Alabama grad. I’m sure the alums are proud of their school listening to this.

I remember seeing fluker as an army all American. He is huge and he looked like he could step onto an nfl roster right now.

Nick Saban’s Alabama team could compete in the NFL. Same with the Aggies.

Well, then, how many of the Aggies will be drafted in the first round?

Barrett Jones was dominated by the A&M nose tackle last week.

Too bad their highly touted Cornerback from the 2012 draft has yet to show anybody the “swag” he was supposed to bring to the Bengals. Somebody might want to tell Saban to start teaching his secondary the skill that is “backpedaling”. You kind of need to know how to do that to play in the NFL.

I think it was Charley Casserly who said it.

The talent at Alabama is great place for talent and Saban is a great coach to get players NFL ready. But they may have limited upside because they are already reaching their potential.

Either way, it’s amazing what Alabama has been able to do with Saban as their coach. And I hate Bama.
