Sounds like he’s tired of getting beat by us


The 2 years that Aggy beat Alabama since 2010, Alabama still went to the national championship

Worthless wins.

Spot on. Saban is saying wait till everyone starts doing what Aggie did. A lot of people didn’t dive head in like USC and Aggie did.

USC is about to land that Pitt WR.

This thread feels weird with LSU and Bama fans teaming up just to spit on the Aggies.

Here is the full quote, apparently

quote:

“I know the consequence is going to be difficult for the people who are spending tons of money to get players,” Saban said at a 50-day countdown event for the World Games, which will be held in Birmingham in July. “You read about it, you know who they are. We were second in recruiting last year. A&M was first. A&M bought every player on their team. Made a deal for name, image and likeness.

“We didn’t buy one player. Aight? But I don’t know if we’re going to be able to sustain that in the future, because more and more people are doing it. It’s tough.”

Ah, there it is.

Also at Aggie for somehow painting a target on their backs even while going 8-4, it isn't always fun when everyone is gunning for you every week.

Anyone here think the rivalry between Saban and Jimbo is contrived or politely forced?

I just get the feeling it’s theatre and there is no legal wrongdoing of either program.

Bryce was already on the team when NIL started.

Most of Bama’s players that got paid were already on the team.

A&M just offered high school kids deals before they even got on campus.

Isn’t Saban that one coach that bragged about his QB making $1M in NIL???



Would make sense for a company like Colin Cowherds to make a deal with a player who was the clear heir to the quarterback throne at the #1 program in the nation. You could expect to earn some value from using that kids image and likeness.

Jimbo is throwing 6 figures at every kid he meets.

How is it that you routinely fail to grasp the fact that NIL was intended to go to college players that have produced to reward them for their recognition and accomplishments and not for buying recruiting classes?

Looks like A&M is the nervous one. When Saban talks people listen. The NCAA will now feel obligated to investigate exactly how Dumbo put this #1 class together. If the Aggies aren’t nervous they certainly should be. Saban isn’t the type to make claims he can’t back up.

When does your shift at Burger King start? Seems like you need to focus less on Aggy and more on that grill baw. Not gonna make manager spending all your time on tRant.
