I hear ya.

I mean, for a blog? Are you Larry Leo? Print?


No print, all online, not necessarily a blog though.

I'm not someone "big" like Josh Pate or similar but also not a fan writing a blog. Somewhere in the middle.

I have a lot of respect for Pate though, he is one of the actual real sources of information out there.

don't think they will lose any more than any other team, on average.


I don’t think most of the guys here even read what you said or have followed the predictions about the portal. TAMU has deep, deep pockets and lots of boosters. LSU has the same. Bama has the same. A lot of our SEC brothers only have 1 or 2 big boosters that put lots of money into the football program. The mass exoduses are not going to happen to the rich in the SEC. It’s going to happen to the teams that depend on Jimmy Raines and the Waltons to fund their entire football programs.
Everyone is going to lose some players. Some teams are going to loses every single really good player they have.

I am getting to where I hate the portal and Saban was spot on about it a couple years ago.

He talks down to his audience a good bit in my opinion.

Not sure if I dislike or like that

A lot of that is just joking around, he has a dry sense of humor.

He tends to ride the ebbs and flows kind of like a lot of personalities but will usually admit when he was wrong, except when it comes to Texas and Texas A&M this year.

UGA is possibly losing 8+ to the portal.

Curious to see if Kirby makes more use of the portal this year.

Looks like we're looking for a WR and RB to come in this year. We'll see if it actually happens though.

Neighbor's kid walked on at Clemson. (He wouldn't be a stud at Sewanee) but they are "Clemson Family". He says they are going to lose a bunch to the portal. Neptotism is killing them.

Pittits is just getting paid back for what he did last year. He was talking to players on rosters that were still playing about transferring. Lots of coaches want to make him bleed this offseason


And everybody else wasn't? Sure, Jan.

Then Saban shouldn't have made his players basically indentured servants, constantly over-recruiting, without allowing the useful ones to leave without taking a year out of their eligibility or forcing them down to FCS or JuCo in the interim.

CFB is reaping what it has sown, and Alabama was one of the worst offenders, so no shite, they are crying about it. The NCAA basically opened up a free for all rather than bothering to fight all the corruption at Bama and everywhere else.
