If smith transferred to tech y'all would build a statue of the guy.




Dumb post is dumb. If Smith transferred to Tech, he wouldn't have played all this out in the media and most Bama fans would thank him for his time as a ROLE player on 2 SEC title teams and a national title team. He wasn't some vital cog.

He didn't try to go to Tech though and when he didn't get what he wanted he played this out in the media in attempt to have A) the school that gave him a free education and a chance to showcase his abilities leveraged into what he wants and B) force the conference to alter the rules b/c he doesn't like them.

Bama fans' collective thoughts and responses on this situation are directly influenced by the choices that Smith has made.

I think the issue with the rule isn't that a Saban is scared of the physical talent that smith would bring to a possible opponent, its the fact that as recently as 3 months ago he had access to all the intellectual property of Bama.

It would be difficult for LSU to let diarse transfer to Bama knowing he knows our plays, formations, etc (not that most teams don't)....jmho

Really? I've been reading from your fans thta he was going to play 75-80% of your snaps. If he was not a vital cog why did Saban not release him immediately like he did Chris Black to Missouri?

No they're not. Nobody said a word when Chris Black said he wanted to transfer.
