We've been trying to tell the rest of the SEC that for years, but no one listens. Meanwhile the SEC office is infested with UAT sycophants and they stack the deck. The other schools won't demand that they move to reduce Bama influence but the league has too much dirt on the other schools for that to happen. Has been that way ever since Bryant was there and now PB jr. keeps the hits coming. The REC's across the state and region do the recruit bidding and washing of money and Saban comes in for the close. He does not want to know how so he can maintain plausible deniability. Then they juice the players for that "little somethinges extra". Why else would the school pay the S&C coach that kind of hush money. Emmert and Saban are a-hole buddies so the NCAA looks the other way. Getting details on "the process" and spreading it to the press will result in you falling up the stairs. I'd say ask Logan Young, but you can't because he's dead.

What will be interesting to see play out is the discord between the Paul Bryant Jr. camp and the Saban camp. Saban has been trying to distance himself from PB jr.and discredit him because he feels they are at a level where the cheating is no longer warranted like it was in 2007-12 but Bryant doesn't want to lose influence and he is willing to do what it takes not to have that happen. Even if it means killing the golden goose. Going to be an interesting 2016 that's for damn sure.


Nice sourdough on that melt, bro.

We sure do have lots of people moving here from other parts of the country for it to be such a crap hole.

Also, I hate people that switch their favorite teams. To me, being an Alabama fan has been a life long commitment and I respect other fans that do the same no matter what school they pull for.

Switching teams....that's low. If you don't live through some bad times, you will never appreciate the good times.

If OP was a vol at any point... frick him

LSU is my alma mater. That being said, I have a lot of respect for your program. The fans can be insufferable. If anyone ever says LSU has terrible fans I am confident that we aren't as bad as Alabama. I'm not even saying that being a dick. There really is a significant portion of the Bama fan base that just makes me shake my head and not want to live on this planet anymore. We all have those fans, just Bama wins the title on that as well.

Because Garnet and Black runs thru my veins. I come from a long line of Carolina alum and I'm proud to be one myself.

It's more than just football for me personally. I was born and raised in South Carolina and I love The University of South Carolina for far more reasons than football alone.

But with regards to football, I am, as the saying goes, "Gamecock born and Gamecock bred and I'll be Gamecock loyal until I'm Gamecock dead." No matter what the W/L columns reflect, I will never, ever sway from my loyalty, dedication and love for the Garnet and Black.

I guess you do not understand the meaning of fan. What you are referring to is called glory hunter. Fan sticks with his team through thick and thin.

Good point actually, the rest of the SEC isn't even close to the machines level.

Keep it up OP .... remind me of why I detest Alabama football in spite of my respect for Bryant and Saban and a slew of players from Stabler to Henry and many in between. I don't know a more "rub it in your face" fan base.
