OT: Alabama losing yet another player (Kendall Sheffield)
Moms, feel free to delete if this has been repeated. I did an MGoSearch and did not see it reported previously.
Mentioning it here because it seemed as if Kendall Sheffield was a Michigan target at one point in time. As a freshman last year he didn't see the field, and after the other departures, seems like Mr Sheffiled is looking for more playing time.

EDIT: Adding name of the player to the title for those of you who are hesitant to click on the link for the post. Wait....
And I'm NOT rearranging the paragraphs to save you that much time. Reading is fundamental.

This one goes out to all the moms out there. I love you mom!!
August 17th, 2016 at 4:46 PM ^
Is saying "Moms" insteads of "Mods" in refence to deleting a post one of the Mgoblogisms that I never noticed before? I feel like there's been several uses lately and don't want to miss out...
August 17th, 2016 at 4:46 PM ^
I love your mom too!
August 17th, 2016 at 5:44 PM ^
We don't need to give the mods permission to delete our post. If it is a repeat, rest assured they will feel free to delete it whether you say that or not.
Edit: oops, replied to the wrong comment. Mods, feel free to delete.
August 17th, 2016 at 9:14 PM ^
I think you mean: moms.
August 17th, 2016 at 4:16 PM ^
As a meta comment can we please stop apologizing for posting a topic that might be a repeat?
I had no idea what this was about until the second paragraph.
August 17th, 2016 at 4:19 PM ^
I agree. And if,for some reason, you REALLY feel the need, at least limit it to "SIAP" or something.

"be gentle, it's my first post"
August 17th, 2016 at 8:05 PM ^
As if "be gentle" doesn't trigger BE A HUGE ASSHOLE in every user's mind.
August 17th, 2016 at 4:21 PM ^
I third this request. Basically if you're going to OP you better have some bigger ones down below.
August 17th, 2016 at 4:22 PM ^
Paragraph...hahaha....

The issue is that people are lambasted if they post something that has already been up, therefore they're fearful of the repurcussions from doing so. Stop acting like it's the end of the world if something gets regurgitated and the paragraphs of apologies go away immediately.
August 17th, 2016 at 4:36 PM ^
yeah good luck with that... I don't see that stopping here.
August 17th, 2016 at 4:44 PM ^
Exactly. Sometimes this board is just brutal when it comes to relatively innocuous mistakes. This creates a chilling effect on people posting timely or potentially interesting content.
Don't get me wrong, you can still be brutal on posters if you want I suppose.
Just don't get your panties in a bunch when user generated content is inevitably less frequent and/or when it's posted, the OP genuflects for the entire first paragraph in the hopes that the board won't heap scorn on them.
August 17th, 2016 at 4:47 PM ^
Brutal in what sense? So anonymous posters make fun of an anonymous person, who cares? Or you get down voted ooooooo oh no, not my fake internet points! People should just post and not give a crap, if they have an informative post, that is...

I don't give a shit about your feecees. Go ask a bucknut for his/her cooler.

You must not have seen Unfriended*. Internet bullying is real and will lead to paranormal activity.
*Only seen because of the girlfriend. She does not like horror movies so when she offers up an opportunity to watch one I take it. I really enjoy when she gets scared in a totally non sadistic way.
August 18th, 2016 at 7:44 AM ^
I don't really understand this argument. Why is it ok to shit on people anonymously? Basically your argument is it's ok to treat people like dirt as long as there aren't any consequences for the abuser.
August 17th, 2016 at 5:12 PM ^
Don't even get me started on grammar.
August 17th, 2016 at 5:27 PM ^
Unless you are deaf. You will be dismissed for grammar error.

what position this player is going to play with somebody. I am expert grammer man.
August 17th, 2016 at 4:43 PM ^
I believe it was rehashed material on this blog that got to him.
August 17th, 2016 at 4:48 PM ^
But last time, he didn't even try... he said he searched but the topic he posted on was the very first result in MGoSearch.
That's where a lot of the grief came from IMHO.
August 17th, 2016 at 4:50 PM ^
Disagree. Most of the people repost things they are to lazy to check if it has been posted or the date that the info came out. If you repost things then the wrath of the blog will be upon you. Upfront apologies will not save you from all of the negs and are therefore a waste of everyone's time.
August 18th, 2016 at 12:56 AM ^
When you post on MGoBlog you gotta be like the honey badger!
August 17th, 2016 at 4:48 PM ^
completely agree! I'm tired of reading that and "please be gentle on me, my first time posting". asking for a group to be easy on you is a very, very dumb thing to do
August 17th, 2016 at 8:03 PM ^
Does anybody know what position this cat plays? Waiting for obvious sarsastic answers like string, toy mice, real mice, lazer beams, insects, our dog, his food, inside cardboard boxes and bags, his tail, my feet under blankets at night, shoe boxes and paper. That should just about cover them.
August 17th, 2016 at 5:06 PM ^
Don't forget, reading is fundamental.
August 17th, 2016 at 6:54 PM ^
You couldn't have guessed that it was maybe about Alabama losing yet another player?
August 17th, 2016 at 11:15 PM ^
The practice is annoying as hell
August 17th, 2016 at 4:21 PM ^
He's rumored to end up at Georgia (going the JUCO route so he doesn't have to sit out). Kirby Smart may end up being the biggest thorn in Saban's side. This makes me smile.
August 17th, 2016 at 4:29 PM ^
I doubt Saban would allow him to transfer to Georgia or any SEC team for that matter.

has not aged well.
August 17th, 2016 at 4:50 PM ^
You got me here, I can't say it. Cuz I don't know if this is a male or a female...
August 17th, 2016 at 4:39 PM ^
He's not going to forbid him to go to a JUCO, and then once he's there, he can go wherever will have him the year after. Saban (or any coach), can only have influence on the first place you transfer, not subsequent transfers.
August 17th, 2016 at 4:40 PM ^
he's going to Blinn College, same JUCO that Cam Newton went to. After going the JUCO route he can go wherever he wants
August 17th, 2016 at 4:41 PM ^
If he goes to a JUCO, plays there for a year, and then transfers from there to Georgia, I don't think Saban will have any power to stop that
August 17th, 2016 at 8:24 PM ^
Bama beats MSU by more than 40.
August 17th, 2016 at 4:22 PM ^
I was watching college football live last week and they were talking about the other corner from Bama that wanted to transfer to Georgia, and one of the guys made the point that when he was playing there were rarely ever transfers for playing time, you had to earn you spot on the field or accept you are not good enough and now there is a culture of just quitting and moving on instead of working to earn what you want! I think that is a valid point, because if a player would rather go to another school to get playing time then beat out a guy ahead of him where he is currently at, what are the chances he beats out someone at another school? The only exception that comes to mind is Thomas Rawls, who went to C. Michigan and had a good remaining college career. Most other players, even if they get playing time at other schools, dont really every make a splash (Prater to Northwestern from USC).
August 17th, 2016 at 4:25 PM ^
The player may feel they are better than whoever is ahead of them. Coaches are not always right.

NCAA as a whole I'd agree with you. Bama is a totally different monster. They literally have a 5* for every position on the field on defense. Backups could start and be successful anywhere else.

This recent transferring seems to have more to do with the new defensive coordinator at Bama rubbing people the wrong way, not just lack of competition for spots.
August 17th, 2016 at 4:23 PM ^
At least put the name of the player in the title. Cumong.
August 17th, 2016 at 4:59 PM ^
agreed.
August 17th, 2016 at 10:39 PM ^
no one finds out what position he wants to play.
August 17th, 2016 at 5:02 PM ^
I asked my mom. She's ok with it.
