That post-game handshake is going to be great.

ETA: also would be glorious to see Saban ruin his reputation and go down as a hypocrite and laughing stock of a liar bc EVERYONE knows he’s a lying piece of shite in this case. He’s very clearly angered that the system is now wide open for everyone to do what he’s been doing for years and to do so openly. His deceptive, sneaky tactics no longer hold as much value in the recruiting game and he knows it.


This wins the thread.

This doesn't count Bama Alums in charge of officiating and schedule making either. He's had every advantage, including mulligans, to do what he's done. No other coach in America has what he has to work with. Now he's pissed bc the field may be leveled.

So tell us how he won the SECT in 2001 his second year at LSU.
He won the SECT at Bama in his second year there.

Sure the guy plays every angle there is, buys players and all that; however, he can coach too.

Sometimes it's just better to stay quiet. What's the purpose of bringing that up in public without stating proof?
He created controversy and I don't think that it helps Saban.

I also think Saban was extremely pissed he was forced to play & “Beat” UGA twice for the ‘21 NC. He was extremely short tempered w/reporters & just in an awful pissy mood (yes even more than normal) the whole week leading up to the rematch with UGA

For obvious reasons (LSU 2011 & UGA 2017) he can’t come right out & say it but I think he HATES having to play by the same rules as everybody else - Even if its just every now & then!!

Yeah Nick, whatever

Loses credibility with this because everyone knows Bama cheats. It's in their DNA.

&M did nothing against the rules.

They knew the situation and took advantage of it.


Actually you don't know what you are talking about, not at all. No rules where changed for the NIL. All previous rules still apply other than a player can get paid for NIL.

No one connected to a university in anyway can offer or be a intermediator between a company or person offering a potential recruit a NIL deal contingent on enrollment at a particular school.

Apparently Saban is saying this happened at A&M.

Have you seen what our football players drive around in? Saban isn't the only one with access to dealerships.

Why don’t you provide a list of the cars driven by every LSU 4 and 5 star player?

Maybe so, but Saban and Alabama say “Hold my beer and watch this” when it comes to buying players. They’ve led the nation, up until now. That’s why Saban is being a little bitch.

I listened to both coaches

Nick actually did a good job of explaining the problems and why it's bad for NCAA to have a collective arrangement and players are bidding "what are you going to pay me?"

that's bad news

he should not have said A&M paid for all their players

he might believe that, but dang, coaches can not throw shade on one another

he said it like it was well known

I know most of us here thinks that already about A&M

Jimbo is over reacting...

this drama is going to be something else

Jimbo took it as illegal

I don't think Nick is saying it's illegal...but that it happened and it's legal...

and that it's bad for college football

that's all true!

I think I now support Saban's actual comments and what he meant to say...

I don't support throwing other schools under the bus
