2, very sorry to hear of your daughter medical issues. She will be in my prayers as well as you and her entire family. 

Those guys must really be bad! 

When I posted this the Who's Online meter say 270 guests. You are lucky to see 2-3 Users on here at a time.

They probably find it boring and not much going on. I am surprised this site has so many lurkers with so little activity.

I had both eyes done a few years ago. I no longer require glasses except for reading. The surgery is not bad at all, and recovery is one day. They did one eye and two weeks later did the other. Both were done on Friday, and I was back at work (desk job) on Monday.

Bama is a big player in the NIL market. We are not spending money like Ohio St or a few others, but we are in better shape than most. One of the reasons CNO withdrew his name from consideration for the UK job was because Greg Byrne committed a substantial amount each year to NIL. How the other sports like baseball are treated in terms of NIL remain to be seen. I do know Greg Bryne is a money raising machine. He has people on staff dedicated to raising money strictly for the athletic program. Byrne is slowing down facility upgrades (example: New Basketball Areana) until things settle down and the cost of doing business in the NIL market is determined. Byrne's priority right now is making sure coaches can get the best players. Currently, Alabama's athletic facilities (except basketball) are some of the best so upgrades can wait. NIL means more to players today than facilities.

NIL is not substantiable. Donor's pockets are only so deep.

Florida ends Bama’s season with a 6-4 win.

Baseball is one of the programs "pay for play" will help us level the playing field. NCAA rules allow 11.5 scholarships. They can be given as a whole scholarship or divided into 25% scholarships to make them go further. A baseball team roster is over 30 players. They carry 12-15 pitchers alone. Bama and Auburn have always been at a disadvantage. States with lottery's and casino's offer scholarship assistance if a student graduates high school with good grades. SEC baseball teams use this to offer scholarships to top players and make those 11.5 scholarships go a long way. Alabama does not have this option. The state of Alabama is way behind the times in helping kids go to college without piling up a mountain of debt. 

Texas run ruled Florida 10-0 yesterday. We will play Florida at 2:00 today.

Baseball continued its year end slump losing to 3-0 to Stetson to end the season. After a promising start to the season, we ended on a bad note going 1-5 in the last six games. The exact opposite of peaking at the right time.

I feel good about the direction of the program. Coach Vaughn looks like a winner. He took over a program that was in a mess after firing Bohannon and our best players leaving in the portal. He put together a team that played hard and won a lot of big games. We won series against Tennessee, Arkansas, and South Carolina. Three top ten teams. He has a lot of work to do to rebuild the team for next year. We need pitching and will need to replace some position players that will graduate or go pro. Who knows what will happen in the portal.

Coach Vaughn is young, aggressive, and the players like him. I think he is the right man for the job. I am looking forward to many improvements in year two.

Bama in a weather delay. The game is tentatively scheduled to start at 2:30.

We somehow find a way to keep winning. We are now 3-0 in the NCAA Tournament in elimination games.

No sir. FSU beat Stetson 7-2. We are in the loser's bracket. UCF plays FSU today on the winner's side.

Bama loses to UCF 8-7 in a back-and-forth close game. Bama plays Stetson Saturday at 11:00 in an elimination game.

Bama eliminates Duke winning a tight 2-1 game. We are off Saturday and will play the loser of the Texas vs Florida game Sunday at 2:00.
