BOL Round Table

I would like more background stories on players or coaches. What they have gone through in their life. Those stories interest me.

Im not joking here. Get Montravius Adams to commit and sign and ill walk around my.entire town with BOL painted on my head and where BOL pants and a shirt.

Honestly Chris for the people who want coverage of the other sports you might as well just post the stories from Rolltide.com and maybe expound a bit on what the win/loss means for the team.

Most of them probably don't go to Rolltide.com to read those stories anyway and they'd be read by as many people as a story you would do without you having to attend the event and write a story.

Honestly I think you guys do a great job as is, though I did like Instant Analysis after Spring/Fall practices.

I'm sure y'all get tired of talking about this and I know its supposed to be coming soon, but the text alerts on commits and include during season updates on if a player is out due to injury or stuff like that.. I know we get those updates in the articles though so that may be a dumb suggestion. And I loved the feature y'all did with the incoming freshmen; what they've been doing since signing day, who they're rooming with, what they're looking forward to, ect. How about doing something like that with current players.. Askig things like who they room with, what they do outside of football, and just anything you guys see fit to ask..

An idea I thought of from the recent Trips articles about 3 current players would be to do something like that for the football program in general. You could have 3 categories. 1)random game/season where you briefly discuss highlights, stories, etc from each game or season you choose to review. 2)updates on former player or coach (i know this has been done a few times by BOL & I've enjoyed those articles). & 3) Recruitment Rewinds. You could bring back stories of recent & former recruits & the drama involved with their recruitment. Can be someone who ended up at Bama or almost signed but unfortunately (for them) picked another school. Each new class provides plenty of entertainment, I know there's quite a few good stories out the I've forgotten about .

My suggestions are a bit on the nostalgic side, but I enjoy keeping up with the past. Must be my history minor coming out in me, lol.

I agree with Bolden1983.video updates would be huge with me,too bad the copyrights destroyed that idea.I can see what i can do to bring some folks over.

More blogs. Like him or not pm from the barn site be all over the place with quick hitting blogs from in and around that program the sec and college football, he does one everday! The instant analysis video feature should be expanded. Sometimes there are several days between a great piece or article. There should be something going up a few times a day. What about something like having a member feature once in a while for the guys that bring great info you guys know that are reliable like a q and a sort of deal. I like the idea of having a up and running video feature of the facilities as well.

I agree. Even though we come on here and talk about why what he said is wrong, we're still talking about what he said. They add value to my membership because it gives me something to discuss. I know you guys do a lot as it is, but I think the simplest request is just more interaction. Sometimes I think you guys underestimate just how much you add to the Alabama community. You are the best source of insight on Alabama athletics there is, and you add a lot through the news you post and your comments on news reported elsewhere.

Something small Chris, but I'd like a game location on the schedule on the front page.

This may have already been mentioned, but I'm too lazy to look.

The thing I appreciate most on this site is the message board interaction with the mods. When you guys interject your opinions into the different discussions on the board, I think it adds a lot of value, as most of us respect what you have to say. I know you don't want to monopolize the discussion or anything like that, but I think it would be great if we had even more mod interaction in the threads. (Not a complaint, as yall do a good job currently.)

I love this comment - and I gave you a +1...But it made me laugh because I can't see the connection to the OP...good stuff anyway!

Another site, either rbr or bamasportsreport, used to do a very thorough analysis of just one or two plays, with illustrated screenshots, that would break down all the schematic aspects of the play. Defensive line stunts, pulling guards, wr routes not directly involved in the play, etc. It was basically football for dummies, enough x's and o's to be interesting, but not overwhelming. This site is all about news, and not really the game itself. I think that is something you can expand into. Start teaching people more about the game, because I would suspect most people here, including myself, understand surprisingly little about it.
