Which non-conference home-and-home series would you most like to see?
Which of the following is the most likely win for Alabama this year: LSU, Tennessee or Auburn?
Who will be the #2 quarterback coming out of Fall practice?
If you could swap any two SEC schools for any other schools in the Southeast, which would they be?

What team will be the biggest surprise in the sec in ’08? ...the biggest disappointment?
We appear to know who our QB is going to be for the season barring something crazy, but not all offensive skill positions are so certain. As the season progresses, who do you see stepping up to be this squad's most productive running back? ...wide reciever?
Obviously "the Saban" is lord and savior, and created the heavens and the earth, but if you were forced to trade Saban for another active coach, who would it be and why?
Some people view Bama fans as insane. While "insane" is an awfully strong word, many Bama fans have a disturbing obsession with their team. What is the most significant/unique/valuable/weird piece of Bama paraphernalia you have and why?

Thanks to Roy Kramer legacy scheduling, Bama is in it’s "road year" when most of the great games will be on the road and season tickets basically are buy one (Iron Bowl) get seven free. You get to swap one home game for one road game. What’s your call?
After Clemson, our Non-Con schedule is pretty weak. You are able to trade any one them for any BCS team in the country. Who and why?
You can bring back one player from Alabama history to play in his college condition. Who do you want?
Frankly, the idea of non-traditional food at a stadium is borderline sacrilegious. Still, the change is coming whether you like it or not, so it might as well benefit you. Gone will be the stale soft pretzels and nacho cheese. You get to pick one thing to replace it.
Since we would never wish injury upon another player, let’s say the President calls and says you can send one player from an opponent’s team to Guantanamo Bay before the game. Who do you pick and why?

Other than the contest against Little Brother, what do you think is a “must-win” for Alabama this season?
Every year there seems to be a player that no one is really talking about pre-season that garners accolades by the end of the year. Who will that be for Alabama this year?
In your opinion, how many true freshmen will start against Clemson? How many will start against Little Brother?
Pick one player on offense and one on defense and give a match up with an opponent that you are really looking forward to watching this season.
What, if any, SEC school’s head coach will be out after this season?

We have a poll up at RBR about what was the biggest SEC upset from last season. What is your pick and why?
Looking ahead to this season's schedule, what games do you see as being the deciding factors in who will win the SEC?
Phil Steele and Athlon have Florida ranked #1 in the country with UGA coming in at #9 and #5, respectively, while Lindy's likes the Dawgs at #1 and Florida at #6. Obviously both teams can't represent the East in Atlanta, so which team do you think will wind up playing for the title and a berth in the Sugar Bowl (or National Championship Game), or do you think it's possible neither team will be there at the end of the season?
It's a little early for a "traitor's draft" since we don't know who the starters are going to be until the fall, but since football is a year long affair let's go ahead and have one. If you could trade two Alabama spring starters, one offensive and one defensive, for their counterpart on any other SEC team, who would you trade and why?
Finally, and just for fun, give me one non-Alabama game you'd love to attend this season (there's a list of the "Top 40" non-con games of the season here if you need a little help).
