    I agree with a lot but I think I wouldn't discount Bama being good to great for a few more years.  Their long term outlook isn't great due to NIL and demographics but I don't see them having the Texas Mack dropoff with Saban there.  
    I also think Brian Kelly, despite being a murderous asshole, can coach and his ND teams often had WTF games but still a decent overall performance.  And LSU will still get decent talent, though long term same as Bama with NIL.
    I bet it'll be Georgia, LSU, Bama and Tennessee in 2024, with Georgia being the only team with a significant talent advantage, though I think Kirby Smart being a mouthbreathing troglodyte helps even the advantage.  

    And this also supposes that this Alabama game signals a consistent, reproducible shift in our long term fortunes (which I think it does.
     
     
     

    Agree with all of this. Kirby Smart is NOT some sort of football wizard, he just applied Saban's formula (gathering the best talent by any means necessary) and it worked for him better than other former assistants. Georgia will still do well in the NIL era, but they won't go on a decade long run of dominance. Counting on Bama to quickly fade into the sunset after one home loss is also foolish wishcasting. But like a line in one of my favorite songs "every new beginning is some other beginnings end"

    I know who I want to take me home…and I saw about 1,000 of her last weekend.

    Fans in Columbus were much more hostile than in Tuscaloosa, in my personal experience at least.

    Yeah, not even close - Columbus before the game was way, way worse than Tuscaloosa after the game. Columbus was the only time I’ve ever been to a city as a visiting fan (including pretty much every stadium in the AFC as an Oilers fan) that I was pretty sure I was going to be assaulted after the game…

    If a Texas head coach won 6 football championships in a 10 year period, I wouldn't care if he didn't field a team, showed up every Saturday, walked to the middle of the field by himself and took a giant shit before passing out with his pants around his ankles for 5 years straight.

    Shit man, we dealt with that the last 4 years of Mack’s tenure after only 1 championship….

    I never understood why that's a thing there. The only thing Alabama about the song is the band singing it. The song itself is set in Tennessee. 

    When I pointed that out to the Bama dude behind me, he pointed out that George Strait went to Tennessee to get away from Texas women…

  5. I was very underwhelmed by the noise/intensity level inside the stadium. Maybe they really are a genteel Suh-thuh-nuh crowd or maybe all the winning has gotten boring, but for the most part it was a pretty lame crowd. Friends In Low Places was way more rowdy than most third downs….

    If anyone has a bunch of Hilton points, the Embassy Suites University just opened up at 60K/night; cash rate is $2K so it’s a phenomenal value for points….

    Thanks for posting this. I was booked with points for the Hampton Inn East but changed my reservation to the Embassy.

    Hah I made exactly the same move. See you at the manager’s Happy Hour on Friday!
