The transfer portal window will officially open Monday. That means college football's version of free agency will be in full swing.

Alabama football's primary attention turns toward getting ready for the Rose Bowl and the College Football Playoff, where it will face No. 1 Michigan on Jan. 1. But there could be changes to the roster in between now and then because of the limited portal window. It will close on Jan. 2.

Nick Saban was asked for his expectations for the portal opening and if there's a difference between making and not making the CFP as it relates to the portal.

"I don't think players look at playing in a bowl game as the same significance as they look at playing in the playoffs," Saban said. "That in of itself makes it a little bit different."

Saban then went on to say that he talked to players in a Sunday meeting and shared they didn't have to make the decision alone.

"'Some of you have issues about transition in terms of your future," Saban said he told them. "You don't have to do it in a vacuum. We're here to help you. Come talk to us about it."

Saban said he plans to stay in his office Monday so that anyone who wants to talk future plans can, whether it's portal related, seniors, draft-eligible guys or others.

Said Saban: "We're hopeful all of our players will want to stay on our team and contribute to the preparation and success that we have in the opportunity we have playing the best team in the country."

The clown car that is the Florida legislature is even talking about passing some fricking law over it.

Those of you who watched SEC Final saw Tyler hugging on Tebow when they came out of commercial break and he asked Jordan Rodgers to take their picture at the end of the segment. Tyler posted it - note Roman Harper’s photo bomb

Man I just met @TimTebow. I remember 14 years ago trying to meet him at Walter Camp in my home town New Haven Connecticut and I just missed him! I’ve been waiting 14 years for this day, and what better day than today! Great meeting you Mr.Tebow!

You live in Florida and can't believe that Florida government officials are making asses of themselves and behaving like shitheads? How? Making an arse of yourself and behaving like a shithead is the road to success in Florida politics.
