Bama fans have now evolved from making fun of the pac12 to talking about how strong it was and how impressive Deboer is because of that.
As big as he is, how has he not been nicknamed something tied in with jabba the hut? this would be a excellent twitter parody actually.
I would too for that kind of money. What I’m curious about is the extent to which he knows what he’s walking into. It ain’t zero percent and it ain’t 100 percent, but I bet it’s closer to zero. Even if he has the right people in his ear, you can’t get it if you’ve never been in the south but Alabama in particular. He’s so screwed.
Bama overvalues their importance and undervalues Saban’s. I think the SEC needs a new darling. I just hope it’s us.
My money is on the SEC being Wild West shoot outs in the streets for a little while. Nobody can fill the void that Saban’s leaving plus Texas and OU coming in just adds to it.
Tech has more D1 prospects within 30 miles of their campus than Washington probably does within 500 miles of theirs, to be fair.
Favorite for sure. Kirby may be King right now but NIL is making life harder for him just the same way it did for Saban. He will not be able to maintain the talent level he enjoyed for a few years there.
this is the key. When you go thru sec gauntlet you lose players to injury and the highly recruited kids are not going to all be patiently waiting anymore.
