But…but…but Georgia had TRob! We could have kept Downs if we’d retained TRob! It’s not about the money, it’s all about the coach and relationships!...

They can’t postpone spring practice. Right now CKD is talking to the boys about having half of them play both offense and defense and then take turns kicking and punting. ...

Unprecedented Situation
Posted by Alabiker on 1/19/24 at 9:37 am
Trying to compare what is happening at Alabama with anything else, anytime else, is a fool’s game.
You can rank coaches 1 to whatever but there can be only one GOAT. Coach Saban is the GOAT. Downs and Sayin would never have been in Tuscaloosa were it not for Coach Saban. They didn’t sign with Ki...

Dude! You’re killing it over here! Good shite!
It’d be cool if you stayed over here and stayed the frick off the Bama board.

What violation? I never said that their $150M was for paying players. I said that at the same time they needed to buy out a coach, a donor threw them a check. And this wasn’t some behind the scenes, business as usual donation; a facsimile check was presented during a game. ...

About the time that A$M was wanting to fire Jimbo with his huge buyout, one of their donors wrote them a check for $150 million. It’s hard to compete with that kind of money. Yeah, it would be nice if we had a single donor throw that kind of money into NIL but it apparently ain’t happening. ...

Well said.
The new playoff system means you don’t have to be one of the 2 or 4 best teams anymore, you can get in if you’re one of the top 11. For a while, at least, being Top 11 is gonna have to be the target. ...

The money is crazy right now. I read that Bond got a million from Texas. A freaking million. What’s Downs gonna cost someone, 2 million? More? Texas is paying Arch 3 mil to ride the pine.
This can’t be sustainable. ...

bullshite. Coach might have “plenty of time” but this ain’t about time it’s about money and apparently we can’t match what some other schools are willing to pay.

None of this is due to failure by CKD or his staff. Period. This is the Mecum Auction version of college football. It doesn’t matter how much you want the player if someone else is willing to outbid you. There’s crazy money being thrown around right now and it would seem that our pockets aren’t as d...

Ridiculous that he couldn’t throw in a couple of “y’all’s” and at least mention grits. He ain’t even tryin’ to fit in. ...

Posted by Alabiker on 1/16/24 at 12:14 pm
Yeah, we’ve lost a couple that hurt but most of that is processing. We’re still at around 80 scholarships so we may need to actually shed a few more before fall. If you want to bring in 30 you gots to lose 30. ...

There are a bunch of stupid takes on this board lately so let me perhaps add another.
If you place the blame on the HC for rich teenagers jumping ship, you might be an idiot. Some of these players are making as much as the people charged with developing them. I don’t know who our highest paid pl...
