BOL Round Table

Then I have no further request other than maybe a game highlight archive. Where we can go back and watch highlights of games. We need more video updates for sure.

Maybe Coach Grant would have a certain day of the week that he/his staff gives information to pass on. We would all know for instance, that Tues might always have news about the basketball team. It could be something as simple as a weekly bio/focus about each player.

This could be the case for any sport. I really enjoy the stories that tell us more about the players personally. I am not just referring to football. I loved ladies gymnastics this year. You could have a weekly feature about one of the ladies sports.

I love Alabama football more that most men do, (just ask my husband!) but Alabama sports goes way beyond football. We should celebrate the success of all sports!!

I'm with you on that - I'm always looking for those kinds of stories.

... or be banned from practice, no.

I'd like to see an in-depth look at our opponents for the upcoming week, and detailed matchups (objectively and your opinions). Looking at UF week last year, there were to Trips articles giving "three matchups" for the O and D in that game, and it was probably 2-3 pages long. By the UT game, we got two Trips articles that were about a page each. While interesting, in truth it really just ended up being a summary of who their key players were, and measured talent vs. talent. It would be great to get a schematic and statistical look at how the teams compare, and one of the coolest things that you guys have done is when you get the staff of the opposing site to trade-off on a game analysis. We can all look up rosters and statistics, but it's the insights and perspectives this staff brings to the table that makes you guys great, and the more you bring the better I think your product becomes.

Can't do that, the game have copyrights. We can't even film any parts of the game. Sounds good, though.

Team member stats on profile page

Columns on former players/coaches...and maybe during the season, a former player/coach's insight on each weeks upcoming game.

National analyst Q&As

Here's the problem with me specifically doing that.

I'm the guy who is in the media room each and every day dealing with the players.

The first time I write that the opposition has the advantage over an Alabama player the guy seeks me out, tells me that I'm full of you-know-what and then refuses to ever talk with me again. Considering how little access we get it's the last thing I want to do.

(A specific example came to me after my initial post. How well do you think it would have went over if I had written before the national championship game that Marquis Maze vs. the Honey Badger was an advantage for LSU? See my point?)

However, if you read the stories during the days leading up to the games, there are a lot of subtle references about what are expected got be the key matchups.

A weekly around the sec update! An snapshot of what is going on with the other programs and what the are dealing with( not premium) but just something other than blue board material
