The definition of professional is “performed by persons receiving pay”. College players are now by definition professionals. Why shouldn’t NFL players with remaining eligibility be able to move back down to college? Or should the eligibility period be waived or lengthened? Or should college teams be associated as minor league teams with specific NFL franchises as a way to raise additional NIL funds? It’s all stupid. The lines are so blurred as to not exist. Idiots have destroyed the sport.

Welcome to the post-saban world, the “we could have”, “ we should have”, “ we are better” etc. You are no different than anyone else now. Welcome aboard. It’s a tough ride.

It’s carried on the local fox station.

Maybe the Iron Bowl if the players don’t quit.

If all 4 losses are on Milroe then you just proved the point: its Deboer. He’s the coach, he’s the one who put in the plan and watched it unfold and did nothing to change it. Not Milroes problem.

A guaranteed losing season. New coach from the NW, brings his buddies, complete roster turnover (40 players in portal or draft), cannot recruit and has 3 years HC experience in Power 5. I cannot believe I am describing the vaunted Bama machine. It’s gone. Welcome to mediocrity and praying for a bowl berth.

Bama needs to partner with Washington to see if its possible they can field a full roster for spring practice by combining left overs. About to start throwing those schollys at preferred walk ons. I am saddened by what I am seeing. Not an overwhelming show of confidence in new coach. Very sad.

Dabo always makes it about Dabo. His quote from today:
"The cool thing about this day is that people have to choose you -- and that never gets old for me."

I went to church today and thanked God I was not born in College Station.
Wow.

Les to Michigan would be awesome. I like that one.

You should be pleased. Bama has developed into a nice little top 15ish program with an outside chance of a playoff berth every few years. That should make you happy. Stop whining.

“And as we’ve seen time and again, LSU QB’s never improve in their second year.”

There was a guy, think his last name was Burrow,that seemed to get better his second year.

Based on that list it is quite obvious that Saban is underachieving. Talk about overrated. Wow. A decent coach with the best players in every game, every year should win 3 out of 4 at a minimum. Very sad.

Yeh we did. Classic case of looking ahead to an SECCG and letting a Div II team sneak up on you. Hats off Aggies for taking advantage of our lack of interest. Great win for you guys. Just about got you a break even season with the greatest talent in history. Bless your hearts.

He wants out, the administration wants him out and the fans definitely want him out. No way are they firing him and paying $85MM. Here’s what is going to happen.
The administration will search for a reason to fire him with cause. It will likely be more of a technicality than a serious violation, although that could occur. Jimbo will say no way. The situation at this point will be untenable and neither party will ever move forward together. Aggie will “reluctantly” negotiate a reduced buy-out, although still substantial, Jimbo will claim he was wronged and accepted less to just get out. They go their separate ways. It will all be choreographed by each parties lawyers/agent. This will happen.
