re: Saban's at the CFB Awards Show with a script A on his lapel and a big smile

"Rustling jimmies"...please. If the man wishes to leave I will say thank you for bringing Alabama back and then we will go hire someone else to continue to kick your asses.

Which we would do in this case.

All the evidence says he is staying. People that have spoken to him directly say so.

My guess is as good as any of yours but it appears to me as if you have a huge fight going on internally at Texas one group wanting Mack Brown out at all costs and one that supports him.

This could have been handled behind the scenes and allowing Mack to take a bow and leave with honor intact but so much bovine feces has been spewed its almost as bad as if Joseph Goebbels had escaped from Hell and was running the propaganda campaign.

Substitute"The Eyes of Texas" for "The Horst Wessel Lied" and there you go.What a mess.

Not a situation that a control freak like Nick Saban would find ideal.

How ever this ends up I do know one thing for a fact. Should he go I will be around to post thanks for the memories. Should he stay a lot of the names you see here won't be. Long gone.
