Not sure I agree. I do not gamble other than little in office pools. I am very upset. If App. St. has a great player may not be here 4 years as they get a great offer .
And, yes, I am in the boat that if someone wants to pay a player, supply and demand...fine....however , it can still make me upset all at the same time.

The portal and NIL does make it harder to be consistently good.

The hardest part about being in the Sun Belt East is that in football you have 4 schools that expect to win a conference championship every season. That is what also makes it awesome at the same time.

Didn’t want to deal with NIL and the portal. Makes some kids impossible to coach.

Rumor is Smart is considering a jump to the Atlanta Falcons for the same reason

Drink linked to Bama with a few other names. Impressive.

If Drink goes to Bama will he do a home and home deal with App?

App opens 2026 season with Bama at The Rock. I predict a sellout.

Well there you go.

He will never schedule App home or away. He knows what we got brewing in Boone.

Saban also said today - as a follow-up to what he had stated in previous years - was that he could no longer promise recruits and parents that he would be there for the 3/4 years and if he asked a recruit to commit to Alabama he would commit to them but it was something he could no longer do (because of age and the hard work that he demanded of himself)
