I could easily be wrong, but I have a feeling that many "big name" programs will be hurt by this whole Corona thing, and that the playing field might be evened, if only a little bit. I think this primarily because of the quality of coaching. Coach Saban, given several months, fully knows how to prepare his players physically and mentally. His record in opening games is astoundingly good, and Alabama usually opens against a ranked non-conference team at a neutral site. I have heard numerous defensive players say that the defensive system at Alabama is more complicated than NFL systems, and now; they will have less time to learn the system. I am sure that the above applies to Clemson, OSU, LSU, and other great programs. Of course, they do have more talented players than lesser ranked schools. I get this too. Do you folks see any possibility in this hunch or should we expect business as usual?

I have been to 13 and hope to make it up this season.

It was the third of September That day I'll always remember, yes I will 'Cause that was the day that my daddy died I never got a chance to see him Never heard nothing but bad things about him Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth Mama just hung her head and said "Son, Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was a loan Papa was a rolling stone, my son Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was a loan, " well, well

She say, "Money, honey", I'd rob a bank, I just load my gun and mosey down to the bank. Knockin' off my neighborhood savings and loan, To keep my sweet chiquita in eau de cologne. She wants money, what she wants, She wants money, what she wants, She wants money, what she wants, She wants money, what she wants, Money money, money money money. Money money, money money money

Seven-Thirty-Seven comin' out of the sky. Oh, won't you take me down to Memphis On a midnight ride? I wanna move. Playin' in a travelin' band, yeah! Well, I'm flyin' 'cross the land, Tryin' to get a hand, Playin' in a travelin' band.

And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you 'cause I find it hard to take When people run in circles it's a very, very Mad world Mad world Mad world Mad world

Last night I said these words to my girl I know you never even try girl Come on, come on, come on, come on, Please please me like I please you. You don't need me to show the way love Why do I always have to say love Come on, come on, come on, come on, Please please me like I please you.

Big wheels keep on turning Carry me home to see my kin Singing songs about the south-land I miss 'ole' 'bamy once again and I think it's a sin Well I heard Mister Young sing about her Well I heard ole Neil put her down Well, I hope Neil Young will remember A southern man don't need him around anyhow Sweet home Alabama Where the skies are so blue Sweet home Alabama Lord, I'm coming home to you

Stand In the end you'll still be you One that's done all the things you set out to do Stand There's a cross for you to bear Things to go through if you're going anywhere Stand For the things you know are right It s the truth that the truth makes them so uptight Stand All the things you want are real You have you to complete and there is no deal Stand, stand, stand Stand, stand, stand

Tonight's the night when I go to all the parties down my street I wash my hair and I kid myself I look real smooth Look over there (where) Here comes Jeanie with her new boyfriend They say that looks don't count for much If so, there goes your proof

Oh, can't you see that she's mine? We've been together for a long long time And yet they try so very hard To pull us apart But we don't care what they say We're gonna keep on lovin' this way Cause if they break us up You know it'll only break my heart

You and I travel to the beat of a diff'rent drum Oh, can't you tell by the way I run Every time you make eyes at me, Wo oh You cry, and you moan and say it will work out But honey child I've got my doubts You can't see the forest for the trees

That's the way it's been in town, Ever since they tore the jukebox down. Two bit piece don't buy no more, Not so much as it done before. I say row Jimmy row, gonna get there I don't know Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row.

"Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world, The heart has it's beaches, it's homeland and thoughts of it's own, Wake now discover that you are the song, that the morning brings, The heart has it's seasons, it's evenings and songs of it's own." Hunter/Garcia

Agreed. Imo this is a wonderful idea.

My buddies and me are getting real well-known Yeah the bad guys know us and they leave us alone I get around From town to town, I'm a real cool head, I'm making real good bread.

OK then.

You also get a player with more miles and in many cases a shorter contract, or am I dreaming this? Maybe we should trade away our #1 every season, right? I mean look how well it worked in 2017!!!

It might seem like, or wind up being a good, or even great trade KJ but as I said, time will tell. We don't know how the rookies will turn out. Some might be superstars. I remember clearly being told that I was "wrong" for thinking the Watkins trade was dumb. While I'm NOT calling this a dumb trade, I feel like I've earned the right to wait and see

Other factors enter into a decision like that, to include the quality of the position group. When Whaley gave away the store for Watkins, we were picking at #9 and there was a lot of talent in that class at wide receiver. We also had no quarterback so it was a dumb move. In 2020, there was even more talent at WR but we had a later pick. It MAY turn out to be a very good move, but it may also not be the best thing for the team. It is not out of the realm of possibility that we could have done better standing pat, or even trading slightly up. Only time will tell. I was skeptical of the trade after watching many years of idiotic draft trades and very dumb selections. Some of them were not that long ago. The good news is that none of them can be attributed to Beane. No CB, sorry. Our drafts have been poor and we pick MUCH later that the Patriots, every freaking season!!! They shouldn't have been "on par" with NE. We should have brought in players that were completely superior, to include Mahomes.

I don't mind the time, when you say, that you're going away, I just don't want to be lonely. And I don't care if you share, only moments a day, I just don't want to be lonely. I'd rather be loved, and needed, Depended on to give a love I can't give, when you're gone, when you're gone, I just don't want to be lonely, I'd just rather be loved.

You are a very sick guy and I hope that you get well.

You say that once knew for sure But now you're walkin' into shore to wonder* The more you learn the less you know The more you move the more you go to nowhere* You ask a bird as she flies by Just where she's at she says, where the wind blows* Ask her by that what she means She says she doesn't know But as she flew away she seemed to say The wind is love is the wind Wind is my love Who knows the wind Who knows my love Where blows the wind The wind is my love
