Also wasn't it Saban who said LSU fans have the "sky is falling" mentality. It appears he was keeping Bama's in check all of these years. First with the begging for money to "keep up with those who are trying to keep up with Bama?" and now this LSU can't take our players Deboer is better than Kelly.....it's almost like they are trying to convince themselves of something. I bet Saban sees these articles and just shakes his head.

All of that. Build good to really good talent on both sides at all levels as opposed to a super freak athlete but still not filling other needs. Kinda falls in line with the losing of underwood other than Williams is 100% proven. Either way I like our current approach and guys.

Is tampering even a technically accurate term with NIL and unlimited free agency windows?


Tampering is a myth. The only thing prohibited is direct contact between the player and the athletic personnel of another university. Contact can be made through intermediaries or even players.

No, Bama players leave for cash just like everyone else. Get used to it.

They're using LSU as a measuring stick. Hey look guys, LSU, an 8-4 team last year wants one of our players. LSU, which has had, what i believe is the worst season we will have under BK, and Bama, which I hope is having it's best season under Deboer.

Nuts. 10 years ago, both of these teams would be getting ready for playoff games.

It’s funny that this clown singled out LSU the same week Ole Miss very clearly and publicly went after Mbakwe

Bama media/fans suddenly trying to act all righteous, pretending they’ve been a clean program all this time is hilarious

Exactly. And that's how it happens. Players, especially good players, have agents. Those agents get in touch with the various collectives/donors to float their client hitting the transfer market in order to get a market value. They then take that money to player's current collective/donor base and say this is the market price. Are you going to pay it? The player isn't directly talking to the coaches on other teams. All of those discussions are being held through intermediaries.

Ryan Williams is a tremendous WR whom LSU recruited. LSU was obviously in the market for a WR. Why not kick the tires on Williams? Best case scenario he joins your team. Worst case scenario, the price of doing business for one of rivals just went up.

Complain all you want, but that is the marketplace we live in.

Lol yeah sure buddy. Whoever the alleged player is turned down "massive offer" to stay with Bama just because he loves Tuscaloosa and Alabama. No way Bama matched because Bama is above everyone else.

This dude is crazy, even our local guys aren't this delusional.

This Bama dude trying to own LSU fans and get under our skin. He doesn’t realize how much this excites us to know that we’re trying to tamper and allegedly throwing out massive offers

I see this report and just think hell yea, it’s about time we play a little dirty.

This guy gets it.

If you can't get the guy, even with no chances make your competition spend. It helps you in other battles.

My sources tell me Alabama tampered with a guy on our roster, offered him big money but he CHOSE to stay in the purple and gold and called DeBoer a bitch.

Guys this totally happened I cannot give you any specifics but it happened and stuff, trust me

Cool story bro. I'm not saying it didn't happen but with no name, or even position, it could be a totally make believe story. "We didn't make the playoffs and the dynasty is over but LSU came sniffing around with a big offer and one of our player loves crimson so much that he told them to kick rocks. We're still kind of a big deal. We're important!"

Whatever gets you through the day I guess. It has to be hard on them as they crashed down back to earth. They had the entire sport rigged in their favor but now they're just another blue blood trying to get by.

Apparently Bama fans are stressing right now with their slow start into the portal.
