Saban article from Texas paper

First of all PF is an idiot and the fact that he has is on show on the SEC network is just another reason I could care less if it ever comes to my area. He is just trying to sell his book and he walks around and spews his assumptions as if there facts. He is basically the Jerry Springer of CFB.

And Saban has never jumped to greener pastures for money as the writer eluded to. He has chased his goals by moving up the ladder when the opportunity has been given. I guess every HC dreams of being a HC at Toledo for their career. MSU was an upgrade and LSU was most definitely an upgrade. If not for his desire to coach the NFL we would be hating him at LSU right now. The NFL was not his forte and he came back and UA was open.

He will retire at UA.

I agree the reporter was a bit bitter, but speaking on the SEC network is anyone here honestly that excited about it? Other than maybe the USCe/aTm game, they'll never show any of the good games, and I don't want to pay money to see things like Georgia play Ole Miss in women's basketball. That, along with the Finebaum show, and constant reruns of "Roll Tide War Eagle", "Ghost of Ole Miss" and "The Book of Manning".

Define top tier. If they put something like the TSIO I wouldn't really care that much (I'd be at the game anyway). But if the put the Iron Bowl, or DSOR, or the WLOCP I'd be pretty mad. I'm sure those fanbases who aren't in the area, or don't have the "correct" provider will be pretty mad too.

I am interested to see what they do to kinda separate the SEC Network from the current College GameDay, College ScoreBoard, as well as those ESPNU programs.

It certainly has the potential and the brand talent to be extremely successful. The other Conference networks have been disappointing to say the least, so I am thinking ESPN and the SEC will use this new platform to really stick out their chests. I am excited.

Heck as much time as I spend on message boards, it's going to be nice to get some truly dedicated SEC coverage on TV.
