Feel like every 5 seconds I see or hear a headline where a former bama player (whose previous stop wasn’t even Alabama) is like “yeah bama ain’t all that compared to where I’m at.”

Any other school get this type of headline? I know it should be expected in this day and age with transfers but it’s been 2+ years since Saban retired. :dunno: I guess it’s a nice cheap piece to up your click count in the offseason.

Why did it take till you could pay players for B1G schools to start winning championships?

I noticed this isn’t exclusive to Michigan. Texas only has 4 official championships. Hell, Army has the same amount of officially recognized championships as Michigan does. How do brokies like Alabama and LSU bleed championships but big brands like Michigan, OSU, Texas and USC just now catch up when they can buy 30 year olds to play against high schoolers?

It’s really Alabama and Georgia’s fault for the SECCG still being around all these years.

Every single time they play in the dome it’s peak cinema and the TV ratings show it. The only 2 that were pretty much duds were 2021 and 2025. And even then, 2021 wasn’t bad up until the 2nd half and the first meet up in Athens of 2025 was the BEST game of the year in college football.

It’s like how USC vs. Notre Dame was in the early 2000s. There’s a whole generation of kids that’s gonna grow up and all they’re gonna know is Alabama and Georgia aura.

Almost 10 years into Ole Greg’s tenure…

On a scale of Dreamland to Rodney Scott’s…how we feelin’ bout our athletic director?

There should be a monetary penalty for any coach that lets a team of 20 plus amateur to professional players not hit a single infield ball in a controlled environment given 3 tries, 3 times in a row over at least 9 innings.

I’m a dumbass

These are the posts that would be more common if chicken wasn’t a slave to ad revenue :casty:

Gotta count for something. You can’t praise Ray Lewis for being the head of the Ravens defense while simultaneously diminishing Hightower for doing the exact same thing in New England. Not saying you specifically are, but just as an example. Tom Brady had the benefit of having essentially someone with as least 75% of his brains on his same team on the opposite side of the ball for the last half of his career.

Saban cheated his arse off while Mark Emmert, Mike Slive and ESPN ran cover for him. Saban is a two faced piece of shite and his frickery led to the NIL and the downfall of amateurism

This isn’t true. What led to NIL was a UCLA basketball player named Ed O’Bannon noticing in his college days that his likeness was being used on promotional material like video games and not being paid for it. He went decades through legal roadblocks until 7 years ago when it went to Supreme Court and the decision went overwhelmingly in his favor.

NIL is solely because some random, mid basketball player from UCLA is pissed his dumb arse wasn’t getting a little money in college the easy way. Saban was just the low hanging fruit. It all started in the 90s.
