re: Is There Anything That Could Stop Someone From Straight Buying a Championship?

Ohio State did it this time two years ago when they got Judkins, Will Howard, Jeremiah Smith, and Downs.

Auburn is irrelevant and hired a guy from the Soviet Union to coach them in American football
He’s got as many championships as Lane Kiffin as a head coach.
Embarrassing picture for the state of CFB

So to have you on record, you’re OK with China/Iran/Russia gaining a strong foothold in Venezuela, a country that’s not far from us and borders the Caribbean Sea? We’re talking economic and military footholds.

Ty is a good QB. Gumps would be dumb to drop him.
Agreed. He isn’t going to win them a championship in that offense but he’s a solid QB.

Well of course we are. We took out their leadership because China/Iran/Russia were gaining so much influence.
We should run things and kick out the communists.

The days of paying 5 star 18 year olds millions of dollars before knowing if they can play is going to end.
Yep. It’s already starting to tilt more that way. It doesn’t make sense to pay freshmen big money.

1st year qbs don't win titles. Neither do 2nd year guys for the most part. The SEC needs to choose. 1- fight over 5 star players and continue to be a feeder for the NFL, and win a very occasional natty, OR 2- recruit the portal instead of high schools. I bet BAMA wishes it had let Ryan Williams walk and spent his $2m on an experienced qb from the portal. And if they don't, get ready for a long era of B1G dominance. What's really dumb is that BAMA is about to kick Ty to the curb in favor of a qb who will be a 1st year starter and Ty will probably go somewhere and throw for 4000 yards. And BAMA fans will blame the coach for not being able to win with a 1st year qb wHo WoN tHe eLiTe 11 ThOuGh. Ask OhioSt. They had an old throw away qb and won a natty. Their 1st year starter who won the elite 11 got beat by two 23 year old qbs on the playoff teams he played.
Agree with this. It’s pretty clear that the majority of your roster being recruiting from the portal is the way of the future. The Hugh Freeze way of largely signing a bunch of overpriced, spoiled, highly ranked high school players that aren’t ready to contribute and haven’t done shite on the field is going to be a thing of the past.
I’m glad Auburn is bringing in a proven guy like Brown from USF to play QB next season instead of rolling the dice on Deuce Knight who may or may not be a good QB.
Ending the drugs was a factor, but the major factor was CHINA (and IRAN) gaining access

If we need to perform a surgical extraction to prevent all of these from happening without any sort of long term war then it’s a 10/10 win.

Seems like most of us aren’t as shook as you would think. We just got waxed 38-3. I’m Glad we didn’t lose like UGA that would hurt worse. There is a little comfort in knowing bama didn’t beat bama. We just got taken out back by a far superior team
Yeah, nothing like the largest bowl loss in program history to find a silver lining, “at least we didn’t lose a close one!”
lol
The black Walmart looking hoodie that DeBose wears is hilarious. Very fitting for this era they find themselves in.
Agreed. Oklahoma was probably a Mateer decision away (run for the easy first down instead of throwing that long pass) from going into halftime up 24-7 or 20-7 and they could’ve leaned on their defense the rest of the way and won easily.
Momentum flipped quickly once things spiraled with the punter dropping the ball and then the pick six on the route miscommunication the next possession.

SOG dusted off a retired thread last week-unprovoked. Throw him to the wolves.
Exactly. He was bumping a 2 year old thread talking about alabama’s decline, proceeded to act like alabama wasn’t in decline, and now here we are a few days later with them having the worst bowl game defeat in the history of the program.
Now he’s MIA
When does SummerofGeorge show up now that alabama’s decline is much steeper than expected?
Posted by Stidham8 on 1/2/26 at 4:00 pm
He was bumping two year old threads acting like alabama wasn’t in decline a few days before the Rose Bowl. We might have to file a missing persons report.
“Alabama's decline involves playing in the Rose Bowl and finishing in the Top 8 (while recruiting at a Top 5 level).
Yea, I'm sure that is what you guys had in mind while creaming your pants over Tyler Buchner and Thai Jones Bell transferring.”
“Alabama has declined from the last game of the Saban Era (Rose Bowl, Playoff) to................well another playoff game in the Rose Bowl.”
38-3

Its back to pre-Saban Bama. They will kick and scream and downvote anything relating to the start of their fall from the top. But if you know early 2000s Bama you know they are looking more and more like the original Bama they are
This. They are tumbling down the mountain and will pitch a fit firing coach after coach chasing the unattainable ghost of pre-NIL, pre-transfer portal Nick Saban where he could buy the best high school recruits and they couldn't transfer.
That world is extinct. They are akin to confederates longing for a return to slavery in the post Civil War era.

Y’all are acting like you’ve won anything of significance with DeBose and haven’t lost 7 games in two seasons.

This is false on every account.
I’ll add that it’s also not even possible to rebuild to that level they were at prior to Kirby leaving after 2015. The transfer portal and NIL have made CFB a different world.
You can’t hoard talent for 4-5 years by paying the most for recruits like Saban did.
alabama will wonder through the wilderness for the next few decades firing and hiring coaches trying to chase a reality that doesn’t exist anymore. One day they will accept that they are a “has been” once enough time passes.
