We had a great time in Portugal - visited some extremely diverse areas; Lisbon, Cascais, Sintra, Obidos, Nazare, the Douro Valley, Braga, Amonde, Costello and Porto. The only miss was Obidos - pretty much a tourist trap but we only spent about 30 minutes there. Pretty inexpensive trip and the highlights were Sintra, Douro Valley and Porto - very cool places.
I missed most of the football the past 2 weeks. I did watch OSU on Saturday night. They dominated as expected and I liked the fact that their younger players seem to be stepping up to challenge for more playing time. I also hope they settles into a rotation that allows them to build some rythym. The didn't need Henderson against Akron so they only ran him 8 times. I think the offense is ready to take off and if the defense can find some consistency I see no reason why they can't win out.
One concern is at linebacker - one kid entered the portal and another quit during the game on Saturday, very odd. I don't think Eichenberg should ever see the field but they need depth - I like Simon and Mitchell and converted RB Storm Chambers is starting to make plays> I wonder what happened to the USC transefer - I don't recall seeing him on Saturday. Anyway, bring on Rutgers - I predict a big day for Henderson.

I am sad to see a bunch of glorified teenagers making snap decisions because of the stupid portal. It will benefit Alabama in the long run but most young people will fall through the cracks. Another quality decision by the holy ncaa.

I am sad to see a bunch of glorified teenagers making snap decisions because of the stupid portal. It will benefit Alabama in the long run but most young people will fall through the cracks. Another quality decision by the holy ncaa. In the case of Jamieson Williams I think the portal served the purpose it was established to do. With all the receivers on Ohio State's roster his snaps, believe it or not, would have been limited. He transfers to Alabama where they lost two outstanding receivers and he fills the void. I'm glad to see he's having a great impact there. The kid who quit mid-game issued an apology but he had to be dismissed. He admitted he has anger issues and he needs to straighten that out. Gant went from 42 snaps in the first game to 0 snaps in game 3 - not sure why his playing time was basically eliminated but it's a shame to stick it out till your senior season and wind up transferring. I agree though, to go into the portal based on not playing a game or getting pissed at your coach just shows those players had a maturity issue - big surprise.
