December 6, 2006, just might be one of the darkest days in the history of Alabama’s rivals. At the time they were as giddy as hell, but since that day it has been nothing but bad news for the vast majority of SEC football fans.

And on January 3rd, 2007. Nick Saban found the program he deserved.

In truth he probably would have done well at Bama. Not on Saban's level but good.

Does anyone know Mrs. Rodriguez's address?
We should send her flowers for nixing RichRod's decision to come to Tuscaloosa.

But we aint skeered of Saban. He will only stay at Bama 3-4 years. He will never win a championship at Bama.

We're glad you don't want to live here. We don't want your kind in our beautiful state.

Ever been to West Virginia?

I remember telling people after that when Saban took the job. "He won't be there too long. He's never stayed anywhere more than 5 years."

Louisiana was the 3rd ranked state from 2021 to 2022 in population LOSS, just behind New York and Illinois, according to the US Census. People are leaving that shithole in droves. All you have is Shreveport, casinos, Angola prison and stinking, filthy New Orleans.

Bama is the most boring state I have ever been to. It looks like it is 20 years behind every other state.
