They are useless until just before Thanksgiving...and even then, there is more than likely someone OVERRATED or UNDER RATED....
Just before Thanksgiving ??????
When there's 3 or less games left ?
Yeah, that is pushing it back too far. Post season aside, our last game is the day after thanksgiving (for at least one more year)
Just before Thanksgiving ??????
When there's 3 or less games left ?
Yep...around the 1st or 2nd week into November. By that time, you have played ALL of your non-conference games...and well into conference play.
2nd week in October. 6 games in.

Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram will miss No. 1 Alabama's season opener against San Jose State after injuring his left knee during practice.
He was hurt Monday and coach Nick Saban said in a statement the star tailback had an arthroscopic procedure Tuesday. The coach says Ingram should make a full recovery in a "relatively short time."
"Mark will definitely be out for this week's game against San Jose State and we will manage this on a week to week basis beyond this week," Saban said.
San Jose State went 2-10 last season, but the Crimson Tide face a much stiffer test in the second week of the season. No. 19 Penn State visits Tuscaloosa on Sept. 11.
le Miss appealed an NCAA waiver decision Tuesday that would restrict Jeremiah Masoli from playing football for the Rebels until 2011.
The Ole Miss appeal of the NCAA staff's decision will now be reviewed by an NCAA subcommittee. A response could be expected as early as Friday but no later than one week
Alabama's Ingram to miss opener with knee injury - College Football - Rivals.com
Sucks that he is out, but from what I have read so far, it does not seem to be that serious, and I wish him a speedy recovery.
That said, some of the comments I have read at some places, and heard in person are sickening. Some losers are actually happy about this. I have seen a war eagle or two, a go tigers here or there, and some just expressing joy about it. WTF is up with that?
A kid, a good kid by most accounts, was hurt. What is there to be happy about in that?
No matter the team, there is no way I would be happy if one of the players was injured.
Disgusting and a total lack of class.
Masoli denied for this year. Ole Miss will appeal. LOL

O
The enclosed article said Saban said it happened on Monday and he had surgery on Tuesday ( TODAY ?). or last week ?
Normally, when you have a knee issue they will not do any surgery of any kind till swelling goes down entirely, this must have been a very minor issue to start with if they were able to do surgery today.
I know, NO surgery is good surgery, but this one must have been minor.
How is it that Mosselli can transfer from a Div 1 to a Div 1 team and not have to sit out a year ?
With Ingram out, that leaves the field wide open for someone to beat them and I'm pulling for Penn St.
Does anyone have a ESPN Insider account? Can you PM me a copy and paste of this article if you do? Thanks!

Not saying a total loss of Ingram would not be a blow. He is one of the hearts of the offense, but he shouldnt be out that long. They will be fine IMO
