Awesome.I don’t think Jimbo and Saban will be exchanging Christmas cards this year, woof.
October 8th. I don't think we have to worry about the score not being run up by the team with a lead.I don’t think Jimbo and Saban will be exchanging Christmas cards this year, woof.
Can I bet the over now?October 8th. I don't think we have to worry about the score not being run up by the team with a lead.
I hope they continue their little tickle fight at the post-game handshake.October 8th. I don't think we have to worry about the score not being run up by the team with a lead.
I was waiting for a “I’m a man” in that rant!massraider said:Saban says TAMU bought their recruits.

There were nuns in my Catholic school that gave harder raps on the knuckles that."and a stern talking to"
@Brett_McMurphy: SEC issues “public reprimand” of Alabama’s Nick Saban & Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher, for their comments in last 24 hours, for violating SEC Bylaws 10.2.3 and 10.5.2 related to Ethical Conduct for derogatory comments & public criticism of another institution’s athletics program
He’s just mad that everybody can do in the open what he’s been doing for years. Projection.Saban is honest but doesn’t control his anger well, which leads to thoughts every year or so he regrets and ignites the media but aren’t inaccurate and directed more at College Football/NCAA than anyone. Jimbo is petulant and easy to read…now with an intensifying spotlight on his program.
Don’t buy it, Cap. Bama bag men dont have $30m let alone for 12 straight years. TAMU’s class is such an obvious outlier.He’s just mad that everybody can do in the open what he’s been doing for years. Projection.

Of course Jimbo’s class is an outlier and Saban has been paying players for years (not 30M but still). Both things can true.Don’t buy it, Cap. Bama bag men dont have $30m let alone for 12 straight years. TAMU’s class is such an obvious outlier.
Can’t argue with that but there is parity among power programs in that aspect and his dominance is from performance…i think he is concerned that paying players directly to attend your school tilts it to money vs performance.Capella said:Of course Jimbo’s class is an outlier and Saban has been paying players for years (not 30M but still).

If it comes down to boosters, I'm kind of interested to see which wacky billionaires from random schools decide to put together a nice NIL group.What's the issue with that? If the Texas and California schools start winning again is it awful? Who is hurt?

Alabama and Clemson are professional factories, but they don't have a built in advantage when it comes to alumni money. Shoot, Stanford has alumni that could hire every 5 star in the country, and it would be a rounding error for them.
If Lane Kiffin is speechless, you know this is a doozy.@BruceFeldmanCFB: Just asked Lane Kiffin for his thoughts on Jimbo going scorched Earth on his old mentor, Nick Saban: "Speechless for the first time in my life."
Again both things can be true. Saban is the best college coach ever and players go there because they send them to the league, and Bama has been paying players forever.Can’t argue with that but there is parity among power programs in that aspect and his dominance is from performance…i think he is concerned that paying players directly to attend your school tilts it to money vs performance.
I mean, I'm kinda agnostic on the whole deal. At the same time, I'm trying to go with the flow and watch and see where it goes. You're right in that if your nudge nudge wink wink arrangement is working out for you, you're not of a mind to change it. That's one of the reasons I don't mind this; it might open the CFP up to something other than the Alabama Invitational.I just assume that whoever is killing it in the current landscape, their default reaction to change is NO.
If you are Dabo or Saban, why would you want anything to change the status quo? It's like, of COURSE Saban doesn't want anything to change.
I really don't feel the need to get too much deeper into the reasoning of these guys, and every argument against the NIL future I have heard has been pretty lame, to be honest.
Nothing..You're right end of the day...the market will adjust also off performance after we get in to this deeper. And coaches will be under more pressure than ever. And many kids will still go to the place they feel will best develop them.culdeus said:What's the issue with that? If the Texas and California schools start winning again is it awful? Who is hurt?
Hoooo boy, USC might be a real problem as soon as now. Enjoy, Big 10.
