    How can all of bama be so much bigger than everyone else at almost every position? What are they doing to the players. I would think most S&C coaches would be doing the same stuff.

    I'll assume you're referencing defense.

    A few things come to mind--difference in supplementation. All school take something, not saying illegal, but they're on various products.

    Difference in workout philosophy. Bama builds a D to be punishing and strong which translates into more anaerobic work which builds size. They're not as fast as some.

    What it boils down to is Coach Cochrane is very good at building the monsters that Saban wants on D

    They aren't juicing.

  • Couldn't it just be that Bama fudges the heights and weights in the media guide... Remember McCelroy was two inches shorter at the combine than in the media guide. Of course that could also be because T-Bell knocked two inches off him in the Iron Bowl. stretcher

  • I cannot stand the neck tide either, but leveling accusations of "juicing" across the board is pretty irresponsible, unless you have proof. S/C guys have different philosophies, and train each kid differently. Several of you hit the nail on the head; bammer recruits bigger kids and plays them to fit their defensive philosophy, as PM said. Are they questionable in many ways that the "process" is carried out, from the initial contact with a potential recruit untile the day he leaves the "program", either by heading to the NFL, or getting "processed"? Absolutely, without a doubt! But Cochran seems like a pretty-decent guy. Unless somebody knows of someone hanging out within the tide program that is connected to PED's, I would hold off on accusing of such. We are far better than just tossing out accusations from every angle imaginable! Just my thoughts, which ain't worth much! WAR EAGLE!!

    I just want to know if anyone hear who is talking bad about him have actually met and talked with the guy about something other than football? He is actually a quiet spoken guy and I have a lot of respect for him considering where he came from. My fraternity brother's family took him in at a young age because his parents were absent. He knew I was an Auburn fan (I even poked at him a little bit about it) and he still treated me with decency and respect and he is a very nice guy. I dunno what you call it, but to me, when someone treats me with decency and respect and has all respect for others then they get my respect. He is a yes sir, no sir, yes mam, no mam type of guy and I find that to admirable in today's society when I see people like Geno Smith's (insert whatever expletive you choose here) tweet stuff like I saw on the thread about tweets.

    In any case, I digress. Apologies to the OP for getting off subject.

    mac, your opinion is understandable. However, we have ours. Your example of yes mam, no sir,etc., doesn't hold water for me b/c I have had plenty of contact in my profession with KNOWN GANG MEMBERS and they ALL say those things. I am NOT saying upshaw is in a gang but nobody acts the same around everybody all of the time.

    So you could probably get his autograph for half price.

  • As I understand it, UA has a fairly unique food regimen for the football team. I believe that UA football, in response to avid fans support, has entered into an exclusive food servce arrangement in which Krystal Hamburgers gets to be the offical food provider for the UA football team as part of the "show a sack get a sack" promotion.

    Word on the street is that it's probably advisable to stay away from the "lil' pups" listed on the menu if UA fans or team members are nearby.

  • Its not so much their size that amazes me. Its how their players pickup Saban's system that blows me away. You can say bama cheats or whatever to get them, but you can't really say once they get them on campus they don't know what to do with them like some other schools(FSU, ND, ect). When I see guys like Hightower, Upshaw, Darues, Barron, ect who are "dumb" but play in their defense and can play their role efficiently and our players like Eltoro and other who couldn't understand ours which is less complex would always frustrate me. Their players always seem to be in the right spot, and ours never did.

    Its obvious how their players are big, they recruit at an elite level and players with big frames. Guys like Trent Richardson were physical freaks way before they got to bama.

  • The players can't be juicing. If they had growth hormones injections
    then lil spanky would be 5' 1" by now...lol
