Good article. I can only hope that Alabama stays healthy this year, especially Young, Anderson, Turner and the other players, too.

Kirk Herbstreit released his annual “Herbie Awards” as we get geared up for the college football season, adding the Alabama Crimson Tide is “going to be possessed.”

The ESPN “College GameDay” analyst explained just how motivated Nick Saban’s team this year will be, while also awarding Alabama linebacker Will Anderson Jr. with the “Ultimate Herbie,” which goes to Herbstreit’s best college football player - on and off the field - for the upcoming year.

It's gonna alright. CNS has a way to fix things and how about Robbie? I think he can be a regular TE. RTR!

SC, you are so kind. If there is anything we can do to help, financially or otherwise, please let us know. Our numbers are down but the few of us still around enjoy this site very much.

Who knows what the true story is?   It looks like some online media guys may have created a non-story.  He's never been listed on their team roster because it was never planned that he enroll until June.  

But he also seems unstable and unpredictable, so he may have already decided to leave TX or has done something so that TX decided he needed to leave.  He did change some of his own social media logos. 

I agree MD. I played BB and it was driven in us to defend first and then rest will come. If we didn't play defense ourselves was on the bench. RTR!

No, I don't think marijuana use is a particularly wise decision, but human beings do many things that are unhealthy or unwise that don't carry the same social or legal stigma.   You don't think the medical evidence of alcohol abuse is just as bad or worse?  My point was more that I get tired of the hypocrisy of it all.  Especially when grown men who indulge in many questionable habits (and that doesn't just include substance abuse) want to run down a 21 year old because he screws up, when they would never care if he didn't play sports at their beloved school.  I judge character more by how you treat your fellow man rather than if you decide to take a puff now and again.  And certainly, being judgmental pricks never helps anyone.

What are the short-term effects of marijuana on the brain?
Recent marijuana use (defined as within 24 hours) in youth and adults has an immediate impact on thinking, attention, memory, coordination, movement, and time perception.1

What are the long-term effects of marijuana on the brain?
Marijuana affects brain development. Developing brains, such as those in babies, children, and teenagers, are especially susceptible to the harmful effects of marijuana and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).1,2 Although scientists are still learning about the effects of marijuana on developing brains, studies suggest that marijuana use by mothers during pregnancy could be linked to problems with attention, memory, problem-solving skills, and behavior in their children.3-9

I kinda find the jock sniffer/wanna be internet star making the video more annoying than the arrest.

Are we really still pissed about kids smoking a little weed?  I know it's dumb because it's against NCAA and thus team rules.  So you're jeopardizing your eligibility and all that.  But let's not pretend that weed is cocaine or heroine, or that he did anything violent.  It sounds like he pulled over and fully cooperated.

Goodness, I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the amount of adults I know with security clearances holding down very nice jobs that might go home and smoke a little.  And teachers too when I was teaching high school.  I don't do it myself (though I've certainly tried it more than once), but the consequences are so overblown.  In the end, it's less dangerous than alcohol.

Tell him to stop speeding while holding and get some freaking insurance.

Substantial evidence from animal research and a growing number of studies in humans indicate that marijuana exposure during development can cause long-term or possibly permanent adverse changes in the brain.

Marshall, what do you think about our two main assistant coaches? They've both been there for many years through several head coaches...are they getting the job done?

I know basketball staffs are so much smaller than football, so (it's a hard comparison) the head coach is more intimately involved in Xs and Os and practice drills, but we've been complaining about fundamentals for years (poor ball handling, free throw shooting, etc).  To me those type things fall on the assistant coaches heavily.
