I think you need it more than I. I'm pretty happy most of the time, but thanks for brightening up my day***

What are we doing with all the money we saved by only paying Moorhead 2.6 million?
College football is headed the way of the nba. The halves pick who they want and the top 6 teams battle it out. Sure there is the occiasinal Boise St, but you can book that year in and year out one of 6 teams will win.
The SEC better step in and mitigate the poaching. The increased poaching on top of officiating bias will start losing viewers. Many people outside of the conference tune in to watch what they previously perceived as a fair league. Keep this up and ESPN will sintinie down their already begun plunge.
Saban notices that we have the best change in the west to knock them off year in and year out. We have a depths chart of quality players that wear down his teams. When we have an offenseive pulse we have a legitimate shot to beat them. We have had chances to bear them since 2014 with just a little offense. Saban is scared to death Of this and does everything he can tonorevent it.
Look at the players he has stolen from us who never see significant PT at Bama. Players that would have been studs in Maroon waste away in TTown. It?s been happening since Bryant and. Caught. Until something is done to change this it will be a wash rinse repeat cycle.
Dropping to 75 scholarships would be a nice start.
Fed up with not being the top dog in the strongest football conference in the country? Tough titties. Grow up and stop expecting whining all the time translates into getting what you want. The squeaky wheel doesn't get to be the best in all of the country in football. Whining and crying like a bitch all the time is more Genespagish than anything on this board.
The optics of it stink more than anything. Baker is a good coach but like I have said many times, our players deserve a lot of thank you letters from coaches over the years for making their careers. The good news is we kept Shoop and that is far more important. Remember, Baker coached D-Line under Sirmon and we stunk that year....so we can at least appreciate Shoop will still be around coming up with the appropriate scheme.
Some people on twitter saying hes gone but they are jumping the gun. Hes still recruiting for us I know that
1) He wasn't at the basketball game with the other recruits last night. I believe he is the only coach who wasn't there.
2) Young was sick and had to leave apparently.
3) He received an offer from Bama this morning.
I'm almost certain on #1, but I'm 99% positive on 2 and 3. So reading between the tea leaves has me thinking he's going to Bama. Wouldn't surprise me if Saban offered him at least 1.5 times what he's making here. If this was after the recruiting class had closed I myself probably wouldn't have been as pissed. The combination of losing a good coach AND possibly stud Dlinemen has me pissed. I personally don't think there is any chance on Young now. Don't know about Pickering.
IF they do get things worked out and he decides (which I hope he gives Saban a thank you but no thanks, and moves forward with our recruiting) to accept, then he will find out that working in the Saban coaching world of football is like night and day from the JoeMo world or even the Dan Mullen world.
