Birmingham Bowl

[AppStFan1]

I know everyone talks about extra practices, but we practiced in Spring Ball, summer workouts and for 13-14 weeks this season. We have injuries.
Are we going to gain that much from extra practices in the era of the portal?

If the players want to play, then I support it. Life is too short and you only get X amount of times to suit up.

Plus, another game of game management experience for our head coach has to be worth something.

I've never gotten worse when putting structure time into learning an activity.

What's the down side to playing this game? Probably the biggest one is someone balls out on TV and gets noticed. I'll take the extra reps and experience for the seniors at that risk.

Agree. There is no tangible downside to playing this game.

For seniors trying to attempt the NFL they do risk injury. Opting out is not new as we have seen many seniors opt out for several years now so it will be interesting to see what guys like Dubinion decide to do.

There would be zero benefit for players such as Favors, Farmer and Stroman (the three who have declared thus far) to opt out. They need more recognition, not less.

When you hear a player say they are declaring for the NFL Draft that is suppose to mean they are leaving college early. Do those 3 have any years left they could take?

I don't blame anyone who is looking to transfer who wants to sit out.

I do, finish the damn job. You're under scholarship for the season, you owe it to the teammates that have poured themselves into this season, and those that supported your journey from the start of the season(s).

Especially if you have an NIL contract.

I firmly believe that NIL contracts need to be prorated if a player voluntarily leaves early for transfer portal.

It appears we are losing our OL coach as well.

Personally, I think it should be graduated so it is back end heavy.. so, week one may be 5% payment... By game 12 you get 20% for that week.. Realize math does not work based on my example but hopefully the concept makes since. Make Remember November to be remembered for other things.

Yeah I think our seniors are more on the track of let me play one last time.

True, anyone that's ever played their last game and it's over wants to lace it up for one more ride. Completely behind those that do, Hope we can field a competitive team. LFG!
