He may have a future at linebacker but probably not quarterback.

He has however proven that he is all about team.


He has. I imagine a petty person would have thought last week that he got 20 tackles and the guy who replaced him couldn't come up with 10 points. I'm sure Joel is not that petty.

Even if Park were to miss this game (which hasn't been confirmed or denied) There is 0% chance Lanning is playing QB, full time.
Coincidentally, there's a 0% chance we win this game. So Park being out is kind of a lose, win, win...

Embarrassing if true that a captain gets suspended, but I disagree that it would be a bad situation for Zeb! If ever there was a game with no pressure this would be the one. To me it'd be much worse to throw him in against Texas or another pick 'em game where the opponent is super beatable.

There's also no tape on him. Park is of course better, but if Zeb's style is at all different it might throw OU off enough for a cover/closer game. And besides - good enough for Alabama, good enough for me.

Parks off the team.

Zeb is playing D-Tackle

Lanning is moved RB

Still don't know who QB is.

Found it on a pay site so its true.. Take it for what it's worth.

He probably didn’t like the uniforms for Saturday, and facing OU defense

This will be embarrassing if we have a 5+ page thread and it turns out to be false.

The longer we go without confirmation from one of the local guys the less likely it is to be true. We're nearly two hours from the OP. Either this rumor is BS or the staff is incredibly good at keeping secrets.

Moot point but Park isn't a captain.
