I wish I lived in a world where I was unfamiliar with that douchebag. Lucky you.

McAfee is a big troll and I like it.  I prefer Fox’s Saturday show to gameday though.

Seemed sort of hostile that I must be some kind of genetically deficient human to have failed to grasp the importance of Pat McAfee nor even know his name. Okay, maybe I read too much into it.

I remain unfamiliar with McAfee. I meant merely to be pointed rather than hostile. Apologies if I missed the mark. 

No problem. I was just surprised and reacted to your SEC dumbness statement. I feel like the college football world is saturated with McAfee right now.

A-fuckin-men...I'd pay extra for a TV with a McAfee auto-mute function whenever his whiny voice comes on

McAfee is also a polarizing figure on Gameday as well. I think he’s great, but a lot of old guys, at heart, at least, want him off of their Saturday morning lawns. Check out the next Gameday to probably be disgusted. 

I was ambivalent on him, mostly because I don't watch gameday or his show, but since he got hilariously wasted in Ireland week zero during his show, he's leaned positive

Did Bama fire DeBoer and start their decade long journey through bad coaches yet?

DeBoer got a long snapper... 😂😂😂😂😂😂

So, Bama got the actor who played Escobar in Narcos to be a long snapper?

Cool cool cool

Bringin' back the Civil War, HOLLA!

But I thought ‘bama built that huge NIL center to help student athletes get paid?

Guess it’s a whole new world when those who have the money can use it above board, unlike under the table where their bags went a lot further.

Kneeland Hibbett is the most Alabama name ever.

Not bad. Extra credit if it's his grandaddy's last name so he's carrying it around like a geneological signpost.

His girlfriend will be some variation on Mary Margaret Claire duBose Honeycutt (extra names depending on how short she is.)

I guess everyone knows that Alabama AD Greg Byrne is the son of ex Nebraska, ex TAMU AD BIL Byrne. Oh, how I miss Bill Byrne’s weekly missives to the Aggie faithful, updating them on the climb to supremacy and the eternal struggle against their “friends to the west” (that would be us, and no, he really didn’t mean ‘friends’)

Nobody has ever assumed that, you cucklefuck

*not you Pimphand. Byrne

I was listening to an interview by Finebaum with John Talty. Talty covered Bama for years and just published a book with Armen Ketayan called “The Price” about staying competitive in today’s CFB landscape. 

These guys live in a fucking bubble. They all seem to think that the rest of us just believe that Alabama has all of this money. 

 What idiots outside of their mediocre state could possibly believe this? People in Mississippi and Louisiana, maybe?

We’ve said it from the start - Bama was going to be one of the poors in the new era and fuck them for being the terrible fucking cheaters they’ve always been. Glory in this. Revel in their futility. It’s coming. 

Byrne’s pleading comes because Bama’s roster is under attack and they’re running out of money rapidly to defend it. They overpaid for their class they just signed. Apparently they went way over budget. Then they started getting roster pressure they weren’t ready for in the first place.

The 5 star freshman CB that started the portal process was the straw that broke the camel’s back. They’ve promised him more than they have to keep him and cannot afford any further attrition without a cash infusion. So, desperation ensues and Byrne humiliates them by publicly panhandling. 

Talty and Finebaum both sounded somewhat despondent discussing it and it warmed my heart. 

I’m interested in seeing how Bama ranks in this next class. They’re no longer getting any kind of discount, allegedly, and they’re very cash poor. You add that to them declining in status due to on-field performance and it’s a potent mix. Bama fans and the pundits seem to think that top 5 classes at Bama are a God given right. This class is going to test that premise.

Its a good book - I read it about a month ago.  Def mentions the "Saban discount" that gets discussed here - and the exponential increase in bankroll required, and a bunch of other stuff like a whole chapter on Jimbo LOL.  Not a ton of net new content for those that are active daily on forums, but good compilation.
