Hawaii backs out of their bowl game less than 24 hours before kickoff. Memphis flew all that way just for a vacation and practice?

Memphis should at least get the trophy too.

I bumped into Tommy Tuberville today. I quizzed him as to his thinking regarding the Cincinnati/Alabama game. He stated of the 22 Cincinnati starters, he recruited 14. Not taking anything away from Luke, but as we know it takes consistent, consecutive recruiting classes to field top ranked teams. I think we are on the cusp ! I hope !

At least Cincinnati made it to the Final Four and they aren't the 1st team to be dominated by Alabama. Will have to pull for Michigan tonight because I really don't care to watch another SEC Title Game rematch

Well, Tuberville is now a senator and we know how well they tell the truth.

TW, curious to know correct number of TT recruits that start. I could do a lot of homework to find out, but too lazy

Right now, seems like Michigan is waaay over ranked.

If I could push a button and poof! suddenly the Alabama football team was no more, I’d be very tempted to do it. It’s just really tiring seeing the same damned team year in and year out.

Pretty incredible what Saban has been able to accomplish there. I've got a good friend who was born and raised in Birmingham, went to Bama and is a pretty hard core fan. He's well aware of how spoiled they have become and has mentioned that he feels for anyone who comes in to succeed Saban. Thinks they will make a run at Dabo Sweeny when the time comes. That's a program committed to winning and working with almost unlimited resources.

plus Tuscaloosa is no Dallas. Amazing they can recruit kids to go there. Interesting that they have a win or else attitude not at all like our 'minions of mediocrity'.

According to CBS, Alabama athletic revenues totals $143 million a year, more than any NHL teams’ in 2014. It also exceeded 25 of the 30 NBA teams.
Students 38,320
Undergraduates 31,688
Postgraduates 6,152
Just saying.
