4 losses a year is an absolute disgrace for bama. He’s now managed that twice in 3 years.


Alabama was inevitably going to return to the mean, but it’s crazy that it took numerous court cases and the transfer of hundreds of millions of dollars from boosters to young adults to make it happen.

They’ve been besties since junior high.

You are slow on the uptake.


I’ve been in denial. Media are reporting that Ty Simpson is being offered 6.5 million to forgo the draft and play one more season somewhere. It’s spiraling out of control right in front of our eyes, and those who think college football as we know it can survive this are now the ones in denial.

Lol, wtf do you think Saban was doing for all those years in Tuscaloosa? Bringing in the best HS football players in the country by showing them the campus library?


I know that this fantasy about Alabama breaking the rules while every other school in CFB were paragons of virtue is the plush teddy bear that soothed your inferiority complex for the past couple of decades, but there was a time in the mid-2010s when an entire wall of the football complex had the jerseys of first round NFL draft picks who had played for Saban at Alabama. That did more for recruiting than $100 handshakes or even Dodge Charger leases ever could.

The recruiting pitch was simple: you come here and put in the effort, you have a better shot at making millions in the NFL than if you went anywhere else. And isn't that kind of what college is supposed to be about in the first place? Preparing young adults for a career so that they can live better lives? Now we're seeing players hop from school to school based on what they can receive right now, and it is in a death spiral.
If the goal is to attract young men with the flashing the most money in front of them, then I want nothing to do with this stuff anymore.

Wait, so Indiana playing sound football and beating down teams who’ve paid way more for their teams is your sign that CFB’s dead?


The fact that a program can go from perennial bottom feeder to greatest team on the planet is the sign that CFB as we have known it is dead. That is an impossibility five years ago. Now it is about to become normal procedure. Literally from year to year there will be no continuity in college football. It will be like basketball, but worse.

I don’t understand why folks are struggling with this.
If Indiana wins next week, this group will have a strong claim as the greatest team in college football history. This from a program which had not won a bowl game since the 1990…a program which had not won a share of a conference title since 1967…a program which had not won a conference title outright since WW2. This magical transformation is impossible apart from the same ridiculous transfer portal which is taking a sledgehammer to the foundation of the college aspect of college football.

The canary in the coal mine is dead. Don’t get me wrong, many will celebrate this accomplishment, and rightly so. But fans of teams like LSU, Alabama, Ohio State, etc should not be among them…our beloved sport is gone forever.
And it was a good game, unlike the abomination we witnessed in Pasadena.
I mean, they had to do this or it would have been a political kamikaze mission since the GOP is useless at actually governing. They gave us the BBB, but they wouldn’t even touch healthcare.

re: Affordable Care Act. HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Obamacare isn’t Medicaid. It never was a handout created to give poor people health care. I’m self-employed and live a modest lifestyle. Obamacare co-opted my individual insurance plan and forced me to either break the law (and good sense) to go without health insurance, or to accept the snare of government subsidies.

Now there are millions of people like me who were forced onto Obamacare 15 years ago against our will, and we woke up yesterday to a huge increase in premiums.

The Democrats created this disaster, but the GOP will own the fallout of premiums skyrocketing. They are supposedly the party in power, and they have done nothing to avert this disaster.

He has the most talent he will ever have at Alabama right now.


He’s recruiting high level, and the players like him. His problem is a lack of physicality with the team. That’s why Bama couldn’t run the football all year. Yesterday was as ugly as it gets, as we got straight up bullied on both sides of the los. If this isn’t addressed in the offseason, he’s toast.
I’m also interested to see how viewership is impacted. I’ve been arguing for a while now that NIL/Portal madness is going to end up dismantling the historic bedrock of college football by neutralizing the blue bloods. What happens when the final four are a mish-mash of teams that haven’t built a large fan base of support?

The regular season numbers showed that the blue bloods still dominate the ratings. I guess we will find out this season about the final four.
NIL and the Portal are going to send the coaches into earlier and earlier retirement.

This is obviously the case. Very soft team.

Welcome to the new era of college football. They are draining the blue blood right out of the sport.

Georgia, you’re on the clock.

As far as the other non-sensical takes on the “Mormon Jesus” I’d say that most LDS folks know the Bible as well if not better than folks from any other religion. We use the King James Bible just as much as the Book of Mormon.


Spin it however you want, but one of the few things that Christians of all denominations and traditions can agree on is that Mormonism is heresy. But congrats on beating the Tech.

LSU fans are weird.


I think they have something like a 20% winning percentage against Alabama in Baton Rouge over the past 60 years. That kind of thing impacts oneself.
This guy is behaving exactly like Congress does with the debt ceiling, continuing resolutions, and government shutdowns. I’m guessing they get CNN in Ghana.

Two can play at that game…Alabama wins the natty in these years if…

2008: Florida doesn’t lose to Ole Miss and comes into the SECCG unmotivated.

2013: Just one field goal is made out of four misses in the Iron Bowl.

2014: Ezekiel Elliot is tackled at some point in the Sugar Bowl.

2016: Officials call that illegal pick against Clemson in the end zone.

2018: Tua doesn’t throw a pick six in the first quarter of the national championship.

2019: Joe Burrow stays at Ohio State.

2021: Ohio State makes a field goal as the new year begins.

2022: The official doesn’t throw a ridiculous flag for pass interference in the Tennessee game.

2023: Milroe doesn’t run right into the teeth of the Michigan defensive line in OT of the Rose Bowl.

A quick way to lose the respect of your kids is to behave around them with no self control, whether that be evident through alcohol use or anger or language or anything else.
