Please, we didn’t buy all of those #1 recruiting classes year after year.
I can promise you Nick Saban’s lukewarm personality wasn’t the one attracting all of those high school players to Tuscaloosa.
He was great at getting the boosters aligned to open their checkbooks and Kirby took that blueprint with him to Athens.
Spoken with such conviction. Clearly you had all the evidence you needed to just plant us 6 feet into the ground with the NCAA.

There was plenty of evidence but no point in revisiting that now. Your program collapsing now that everyone can pay is the tastiest evidence yet.

Auburn fans pretending they're not dirty AF simply because they've been losing a lot will always be amusing to me.
Pre NIL when a 5 star Texas recruit had all or most of these schools on their official visit list, Texas knew not to bother as it was about the bag:
Alabama, Georgia (under Kirby, not Richt), Ohio State, LSU, A&M (under Fisher, not Sherman), Oregon, and Auburn.

You're Texas. The idea of excluding your school from the same list seems ridiculous. I'm sure Vince Young was well paid just like the rest of them

Ella is a smoke, Bama's portal pickups are up in smoke

Don't pretend Auburn didn't pay under the table too. Yor last NC was bought and paid for. Your 1957 title was revoked for the same reason.

That's funny coming from Auburn fans.

I don't know why you guys are melting to be honest.

Auburn hasn't had a winning season since the NIL started.

The team that has fallen off a cliff since NIL started is Auburn.

Also, Barn paid $cam.
STFU.

The days of leaving the money in a paper bag under the table at Popeye's have come and gone.

You're seeing now with Texas' roster what we would have been had we been dropping bags pre NIL.

Alabama has lost 21 players to the portal and added 10. Ty Haywood is Alabama’s highest ranked incoming player.

Rich coming from the most penalized program in SEC history.

Sorry but I can't help it when I see some Auburn clown saying something about other teams having paid under-the-table money to players.
How many of the others have been caught on tape, or had their previous head coach rat them out to authorities?

But to be fair this is a laughable haul so far
Sorry for not keeping up with Bama, but I was under the impression that they didn't really need to hit the portal hard. They brought in a solid class of kids and was just keeping the talent they had.
