Georgia already gets enough preferential treatment. Conference Championship is a home game. For decades they got to play in the soft arse SEC East while playing their “state rival” which might as well be a G5 school with how sorry GaTech is.

Now 2 years straight they’ve had one of the easier conference schedules. No way in hell are we playing it at their place after playing them twice in Georgia last year. I’d rather play them on an air craft carrier in the middle of the hurricane while I officiate wearing a snorkel.
Yes that was the game. I just looked it up and the only thing I remembered was I was there and SC came in undefeated and we won.

Looking back, I can’t believe I was there during one of the only wins during that god awful year. I would’ve been 13 so that’s why my memory is a bit fuzzy, but I do remember Holtz and his paying players line. I always disliked him after that and it’s only grown.
Let’s all go to the coast and start shooting at the hurricane
You have to wonder at this point if Gameday is still coming.
Gotcha. Must’ve been them both then. I was 14 back then and super die hard but admittedly didn’t pay as much attention to the other coaches or teams as I do now.
If I’m not mistaken that was Holtz at South Carolina. I vividly remember Holtz saying “they have good players over there. You don’t pay bad ones” and we were pissed off and beat an undefeated South Carolina.

I don’t know if Saban said something too but that seems unlikely him and I know that Holtz did because I was yelling at his dumbass on the sideline about it.

It’s a strategic decision. We have mostly underclassmen and the staff isn’t in love with the current recruiting class so they’re keeping the powder dry to retain who we already have on the roster and make a big play in next years class
Hell naw I booked a trip for my wife’s birthday during the bye week. :lol:
Wonder what the chances of him being back for the Players Era tournament will be?

That’s a 5 game suspension and seems fair to me as someone who is going to the Players Era tournament :lol:

There’s worse guys to be compared to. Theo is an interesting guy and I just watched the interview and thought he did pretty good. Can you imagine sitting in a room with Nick Saban and asking questions for an hour?


Yeah. I mean he’s definitely been successful. I know what she was getting at because both his and my style of stand up were heavily influenced by growing up in the South and dirtbag stories. He wasn’t quite as good as he would end up being at the time she said this. Just a comic with a mullet rat tail at the time :lol:

He’s most certainly done a good job of maximizing the podcasting space. That was the biggest thing I’d say I really missed out on was a vision for trying new mediums. I was always wired to think why things WOULDNT work instead of how they could.

When I was 19 and my little brother was 17 all of our friends would come over and watch us play video games and joke back and forth as we were playing. This was in 2006 so back before YouTube even. My friend Justin said “this should be a tv show. You guys playing games but being funny” and I said “Justin that’s a dumbass idea. Who is going to sit around watching other people play video games besides yall”.

And now streaming is a multibillion dollar industry and I’m on a message board instead of a yacht.
If he’d made it two more years he’d have been 77

No doubt. The next year if Saban stays we probably run it back with Milroe and Tommy Rees and then Saban retires and lose the same players we lost so I think it was probably good from a timing perspective anyway. I don’t see a world in which Milroe/Rees get much better with another year. We got out ahead a little bit with the new normal of having a GM and it’s hard to do much better in the coaching carousel than a guy coming off a National Title game in year 2 at a school that isn’t known lately for being a football powerhouse

think the classes most impacted by COVID restrictions (2021 and 2022) really, really fricked with the culture of the program because the coaches didn't have the ability to get to know the kids as well.


Agree with you and JIB. An underrated part of it is also the assistants/recruiters we were bringing it were mostly trash or just using us as a quick stepping stone.

Saban talked about having a harder time hiring assistants because of his age. We used to have analysts and position coaches who had run entire programs and knew what talent evaluation and scouting should look like. That fell off big time at the end.

The further we get away from the end of the Saban era the more I think it happened exactly when it should’ve. He’s very happy now, we landed the best of the available coaches. I guess in an a perfect world we’d have had some Wunderkind lined up as coach in waiting so the turnover in the program wouldn’t have been so bumpy but all those possible coaches landed dream jobs or fricked and drank their way out of ever being considered.

It is. My 20s and early 30s were a wild time. Now I’m settled down and mostly boring.

I stayed friends with her though and she’s doing well. She’s hitched and has kids. She’s good people just has bad taste in comics, boyfriends, and early career paths.

Thats hilarious. There's the sign i was looking for


The sign should’ve been that she was a stripper but i was 26 and looked right past that sign and drew the line at being compared to Theo Vonn.

A man must have standards.
I remember when Theo started getting big my girlfriend at the time said he reminded her of me. That’s when I knew the relationship wasn’t going to work out :lol:

I honestly think there wasn’t any scouting going on at the end. We were just starting hunting. Those later classes were some of our best classes from a star ranking standpoint but they were filled with more busts and missing the gritty under the radar guys.
The basketball team will be at the Yea tailgate on Saturday and I’ll be there. If there’s anything of note I’ll report here
Those fans aren’t real fans. That’s the downside of being the most followed team in college sports. It’s a gift and a curse and the curse is we have some real morons who bought one $13 shirt from Walmart and embarrass the hell out of us.

Social media giving public voices to people who shouldn’t be allowed in public is no good
