I honestly couldn't care less about where your info comes from or whether or not you act like an insider.

My gripe is that you are, combatively, the definition of what all other fans think an Alabama fan is. You think we're signing everyone. You have a weirdly lengthy convoluted reason for each recruit that stretches beyond anything sane. You think players that go to other schools are being paid automatically.


You site Auburn and Ole Miss. Let's tackle them both.

Auburn: I don't know if you know this, but they've been to the national championship more recently than us. They're a very successful program with great coaches/recruiter. I hate their fricking guts. But let's not act like no one would ever pick them over us


Ole Miss: If folks are getting money in Oxford, I know about it. Trust that. I even detailed one such instance several years back. But Ole Miss now dabbles in the same shite we do, getting family members high paying jobs. We did that with Depriest, Collins, Richardson and countless others.

Someone you get along with quite well has done the same thing. Along with many others. So why pick on him? You don't seem like your normal happy go lucky self.

I jumped on him for the same thing, but let it go man. You guys that consider yourselves e-friends need to figure out there is more to life than a message board.

Geez, man. I've made one comment ever that went something like "when a recruit from 1,000 miles away is seriously considering the Barn and Ole Miss it sort of makes me wonder", and you think that I'm inferring that we sign everybody we want (without cheating) and that every recruit that everyone else gets that they beat us for must have paid them? That's bordering on the absurd.

Since you and a handful of others in your cute little e-clique think that I pump sunshine and think we sign everybody (which makes me wonder if I slipped into the Twilight Zone since I accuse guys of TI of that all the time), let's just go recruit by recruit. Who have I said that we lead for or that I think we would sign if we allowed them to commit?

QB - Pass... Is there really anybody out there for any school that, at this point, doesn't think we will sign him if we want to take 2 QBs?

RB - Devin White... I believe that up to a couple weeks ago we were in the best position to land him. Suddenly LSU has some confidence. My source down there hasnt updated me recently. Looking logically at the rosters, I'd be surprised if he winds up at LSU. Think in the end we have a very good shot.

RB - Miles Sanders... Big uphill battle pulling him from PSU, which I've stated before.

WR Saloman - He's consistently, even publicly named us his leader.

WR - Who else have we even talked about much that would be controversial?

OL - Greg Little - I was saying MONTHS ago that he was seriously considering us when nobody else on here was. I have been proven right. I have never claimed that we sign him, but I believe the fact that several TX HS coaches think we have the best chance at him and him stating he's "40 to 50 percent committed" give us a ton of hope here.

DL - Michail Carter - He's told several mods that we lead at the moment. Me saying that I think we will sign him is far from sunshine pumping.

DL - Rashan Gary - Probably the biggest point of contention here. I won't even rehash the whole thing again. I continue to believe that of the contending teams for him, we are in pretty good shape. Could AU sneak in and sign him? Yeah, I guess. But I'd be surprised. They sign good classes, but their track record nationally isn't close to as good as ours is. Our regional recruiter on him feels very good about where we stand with him, and he's as good of a recruiter as there is in the country.

I'm getting tired of typing. But feel free to bring up all of these players that I think we're going to sign (that includes everybody) that have been proven to be ridiculous. Also, please give examples of people I claim we're leading for that nobody else thinks we are. Who? Gary? Devin White? Where is this coming from?

So are you saying that you know every time an OM recruit is paid for, and it's not happening anymore?

Because I know from one of the horses mouths that they were paying recruits just a few seasons ago when they signed their goat class.
