LSU Bama isn’t as big a rivalry but it gets more eye$. That’s all they care about.

Saban: "Playing three teams we have played every year I've been here is NOW unfair because Tennessee is good now, LSU hired a competent coach, and Auburn hired my kryptonite."

frick them. I still get mad when I think about the bridge schedule cakewalk they got in 2012 & 2013 while LSU got screwed. When you are used to being handed advantages, fair play feels like you are being wronged.

List of things Saban has said were unfair since he arrived at Alabama:

Satellite Camps
Stipends for athletes
A Playoff
HUNH offenses
NIL
the nine game SEC schedule

Don’t forget “teams that don’t win their conference shouldn’t be in the playoffs”

Undefeated seasons are about to be a rare occurrence. It’s good for the sport. The expanded playoffs will help those strong teams with close losses to other good teams. The fans deserve better regular season matchups


Yes sir! There will some 2-loss champions in the future.
Playing good football late in the year will be rewarded.

Unbelievable. Who the hell does he want? Auburn and Tennessee are old time rivals and LSU is marquee matchup. He’s a wimp.

This X 10000. This was Saban's M.O. Hoard all the top talent to ensure he had no competition. This is the main reason he was so against the transfer portal.

Of course, it is ok that LSU always played Alabama, Florida, and Auburn.

This and him having to split all those 4 and 5 stars with Kirby at Georgia. Saban feasted on Georgia being mediocre under Richt and he could get all the ATL kids he wanted.

Yeah, I don't get where this narrative comes from. Freeze was 2-3 vs Saban and got blown out twice(19 and 25 point losses). Les Miles was 3-2 vs Saban in his first 5 shots, 1 loss in OT, and the other a 9-point loss. I certainly would call or have called Miles Saban's kryptonite.

Of course he did. Dude is not interested in a fair fight. Why he failed in the NFL. He’s just a recruiter, not a coach!

At Ole Miss, we talking about Ole Miss. Now we talking about Auburn, where Gus fkn Malzan beat him multiple times. Freeze is going in dry at Auburn.

Why does he fear competition so much? I mean I get his title history but play the best and historically Tennessee has been an easy opponent with like twenty more victories over the Vols. Now that they have trended up he wants to make them out to be great.

Texas already flexing. In 5 years, this board will long for the day when the SEC ran through Birmingham.

Auburn and Tennessee were not going away from playing Bama...Nick, the only reason Bama's 3rd paired was LSU...because of YOU!"
