Was it some booster poo poo like when Auburn fired Tuberville? nothing specific so far he did miss most of 2022 dealing with an illness and split time in the booth this season; my guess is he wanted more money than alabama wanted to pay him or they wanted to do a clean sweep when saban retired. both are dumb reasons to let someone go especially if he's in good health as he claims

I didn't even know he called Bama games till a few years ago. I grew up on him calling NASCAR as well and I remember when Bama was on TV probation in 95 I finally got to hear him call a whole lot of Alabama games. I have a feeling this will get messy once the truth gets out. If there is one thing we like at Alabama its tradition, and loving with it is horse poo poo.

Up the near side, 25, to the 50, to the 40. Down the near sideline, 20, to the 15, to the 10, to the 5, touchdown. Georgia. On their second interception of the night.

C. Everett Koop posted:128 teams lfg You could almost do it the way they do big chess tournaments, Swiss-style, where they re-seed each week based on results and by the end you just have the top teams playing each other. It'd probably work even better if you split into 4 regions, then at the end have the four "regular season tournament" winners go into a normal play-off. It'd be a pretty big headache to have to schedule opponents on a couple weeks' notice, though.

They looked a lot more like the coaches than the player templates looked like the players as I recall, at least in '04 which I put ungodly hours into.

I remember in the 2010s they didn't bother modeling MLB baseball stadiums that hosted Bowl Games. Not sure if that was a time management thing or possibly a licensing exclusivity thing. I know they could borrow information from Madden for the NFL stadiums, but they did go to the effort of building a playable Cotton Bowl.wandler20 posted:Going to have to pay $19.99 for the FCS DLC.

Declan MacManus posted:yeah $600 and getting to post screenshots of yourself in a videogame is novel no matter who you are Yeah, it's not possible because $600 is going to be a good chunk of change for the vast majority of the athletes, and most will sign immediately, but I'd think they could 5x that compensation pool if they managed to collectively reject the offer.
