The tears from UM fans on their boards/twitter right now over hand is great. They though for sure he was a shoe in.
I think we'll try to close with Humphrey (who will be the only recruit that I will be disappointed to lose out on given who his daddy is), Elam, Hootie/Hampton at S, and maybe Evans from Opelika.
Yes. Dixon's mom apparently doesn't like to fly, which means it would be an absolute bitch for her to travel to Tuscaloosa to see him play.
I would be shocked--even more than I was for Hand--if Fournette doesn't go to LSU.
Yes.

Yes, the whole recruiting process is really creepy.
I think it is LF at RB, or nothing.
Matt Elam and Humphrey are my 2 biggest "wants", though.
If you're high school or college age nope. If you are in 30s or over, very yes.
Getting LF, to me, would be more about laughing and pissing on LSU with a 1/9-level of domination, than adding more talent to the RB position.
Didn't someone in some college sport just get a commit from an 8 year old recently? Or am I remembering wrong?
"8"th grader.
If I had to guess I would say that had to be Kiffin.
Oh ok, that makes a tiny bit more sense, lol.
Thought Virginia Tech had lost a 3rd conference game for some reason.
3rd loss was to Alabama in Game 1

"This is why you come to Missouri, to compete for championships."
That's it. I've heard this about every school ever now.

Oh God:
I see the internets is faster where you live. (guess what's in my paste bin:http://guyism.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/gif-of-the-year.gif)

Holy shit have some humility. You Louisville fans are becoming worse than the main fans you complain about - UK! Ultimately, your shit presidents caused the issues, not the commissioner of the conference. Presidents call the shot.
And if this conference is so shit, what is your team? You failed to ever dominate it. And no - getting into a 3 way tie with whomever and getting into a BCS game due to BCS ranking is not dominating.
You also got beat by the Central Florida Golden Fighting Knights. And it wasn't a freak play, it was getting absolutely dominated in the second half. The team ran it down your throat at will! On your homecoming with you having the easiest schedule in the world and the BCS game handed to you on a silver platter.
It's really apparent how much that loss stung given the ratings for the Houston-UCF game. Second highest ratings outside of Orlando watching the game. Hoping and praying you could back into another BCS game.
Hell we still very may drop 2 games to lose out on the BCS game. But it is still funny how many of you want to back your way in given how much better you claim you are vs. everyone else!
At least I can recognize how our former conference helped us so much and put us in an elevated position. Good riddance and try not to become like Pitt and Syracuse.
Right on cue!
Times is hard in Bama. Just got the #1 recruit in the country and it's like "I'll only be truly satisfied if we get him AND a couple other studs we want."
Shit, I get excited when we get a 3* DT with potential to turn into a contributor in a couple years.
I was also excited about Luke Del Rio. :'(
it's called "Special Pressure"
Nope, it's starting to feel pretty creepy even at college age.
Not only is he one of the other top recruits, his dad, Bobby Humphrey, is one of the best running backs to ever play for Bama. Not landing Marlon would be like Oklahoma State not landing Barry Sanders, Jr.
Oh missed that earlier, but yeah the Rivals boards is pretty stupid.
Now the negatoids and positoids are demanding that they fire the regional writer, which the site owner has no control over.
Remember that, I just guess I thought they had 4 losses.
Honestly just haven't spent much time thinking about teams in the ACC not named Clemson, Florida State, or Miami this season.
You just *had* to rub it in, didn't you.
But hey. At least we were in his final 2!
Note: he announced his decision not long after OSU beat Stanford in the Fiesta Bowl in 2011.
Also note: I'm a huge OSU fan and would accept a full ride at Stanford over one at OSU 100 times out of 100.

Not sure what the situation is, I just assumed he was waiting for his turn behind the other good backs they have.

Yeah, the Rivals site owners have no control over Friedman. However, if Rivals HQ doesn't tamp him down then the rutgersfan guys should explore a move to 247...
He has done a fair amount to piss off the Rutgers fan base. The ire against him is warranted.
looking at the various ratings, and the Distance between Alabama and the #2 spots on Rivals is the same as the difference between #2 and #6, the difference on 247 is the same difference between #2 and #13. ESPN doesn't give any numerical value. Scout seems to love Tennessee, as they're not far from Alabama, and both are well over #3, almost 1000 points more.
Had accidentally saw Scout's 2013 rankings, and WTF were they thinking. Alabama has double the top 100 players than OSUn, Michigan, and UCLA, but finishes 4th?
His article on Nelson was a disaster. The owner of the site hates 247 so I don't think that will ever happen.

Have the Jameis Winston allegations already blown over? that was pretty fast.

Cal at Colorado on Saturday is going to be a festival of bad defense:
I'm pretty sure we didn't throw a single pass after halftime in that game too
Oh, yay, another Nebraska offensive linemen is injured. That's four linemen injured. One 'might' see a little playtime but it's looking even worse for our chances to move the ball at all against Michigan State. Combined with the terrible punt return game and frequent shanked punts I'm thinking this one could be ugly for Nebraska.
that is some quality work
But I thought National Championship Teams had to be conference winners. That's what Cyan told us.
