Sorry, I shoulda used the blue font.

Anyway, I do hope you are right ... I'm getting weary with this.
Thankfully the AD and HC searches didn't last too too long. This feels like it's taking forever.

SIAP, but these are quotes from Toot's dad, condensed from BOL (Supposedly) Haven't been on as much so I could have missed it. Sounds made up but who knows



“Pete Golding and Coach (Nick) Saban, they’ve been reaching out... While I can’t speak for Henry, I know after all our discussions he wants to stay in the SEC. And I think he’s leaning towards Alabama. I mean heavily leaning towards Alabama.

“All the other SEC schools reached out to him, too. But one thing that we talked about was that we chose Tennessee the first time when we should have came to Alabama, so let’s not make this mistake twice.”

“I got a lot more respect for Coach Saban now... Coach Saban is a man of his word. He’s truly about the player. And the reason why I say that is he advised Henry to wait until April comes around, because the NCAA one-time transfer rule hasn’t passed. It was supposed to pass in January, the day after the national title. And it didn’t. They set it back on the table until April. And Coach Saban told us to wait until April and if this thing passes he was like there’s one more hurdle, which is the SEC needs to pass in-conference transfers also. For him to do that, I’ve got a newfound level of respect for the man. He’s one of those guys that’s truly for his players. I told Henry why not play for a man that’s looking out for your best interests.”

Like I said, Coach Saban is a man of his word and is truly, truly about the player. And I appreciate that. It will depend on the advice and counsel he gets from Coach Saban.

“There’s a rumor going around that Henry is coming back to the West Coast. That’s a nay. That’s not going to happen.

For real, how is this not a recruiting violation? What would happen if an article came out with Bama players’ parents talking about Heupel reaching out to them? The SEC would end UT football before the NCAA would even get involved.

I really wonder where the line in the sand is gonna be. At what point do other schools in the conference be like “enough is enough” and start jumping to other conferences like A&M and Nebraska with the Big 12?

Tennessee to the BIG12 confirmed! You heard it here first.
Gonna replace Bama with Texas for the third Saturday in October rivalry game!
OH, and OU just became our UF. I guess that makes Ok St our new UGA.
WV will be our new UK.

Toot is in the portal. Other schools can talk to him.

Admiral's dunk on msu
and it's a toss up between Keon's last night and Bowden's dunk on Vandy.....

but those are 3 that wil always stick out. but admirals was nasty.

These were all probably more impressive as standalone dunks, but Admiral's dunk on Nick Richards is the best, to me. Against UK. On a 7 foot athletic shot blocker. They just whooped our ass in Rupp and spent every day leading up to the game talking sh*t.

It just meant more.

I can't imagine TBA has ever been energized more off a dunk than from that play.

It’s almost as important as the HC hire. Heupel will be hands off...so it’s more HC of the defense.

Here's what bugs me. In 2019, Bama had 27 enrollees, plus 2 transfers. In 2020, 25 enrollees. This year, they already have 14 enrolled with another 13 signed LOIs, plus they're talking about taking Toot? That would be 28, and transfers are supposed to count toward the 25. So in the last 3 years, they've had 29, 25, and 27(looking at 28 if they get Toot). Now how the hell does that happen with a 25 limit? And I get the limit is supposedly a rolling limit, meaning if you sign 23 one year you can sign 27 the next, at least that's how I understand it, but that doesn't even come close to what Bama is doing. So again, how the hell does that happen??
