That’s because they weren’t that good. Why do you think we let them leave

Exactly what point are you trying to make here? Lane recruited them. Probably before the portal. He let them announce they had chosen Ole Miss along with the rest of the portal in order to get the publicity. Ole Miss fans made a lot of posts about getting Tennessee players. Only to end up without any so post is true. Knowing Kiffin the way we do we assume he was not able to pay everyone he promised the moon to, but it may just have been they decided to go elsewhere. Only other option is he did it knowingly to get them away from Tennessee then left them on their own.

Wonder if they felt this way about Tennessee and LSU's roster woes? Lemme know when they reach 30.

Exactly! I recall Saban swooping in and taking To'o To'o: that's what liars and frauds Saban and Bama fans are with their complaints about "football being ruined." It wasn't even legal for Saban to do that like it is today. But somehow Birmingham revoked the rule prohibiting intra-conference transfers at exactly the moment Saban wanted to swipe Toot. Now Bammaws are screaming that transfers need to be stopped and at the very least intra-conference transfers should be banned. The rule Saban had implemented when he wanted it is now "a plague on football" and "ruining the sport" when the shoe is on the other foot. Bama has been using the portal on the regular all along. Now it is "out of control" and a "plague."

Bama fans and press are going so far as to exclaim that money is ruining football after Saban made his reputation on the condition of being the biggest bag thrower and cheat in football history.

Most importantly, they forget to blame Saban, who timed his retirement for the day it occurred. Imagine how bad this would be now if Saban hadn't supported the early signing date. None of the new class would be signed! Instead Bama fans want to vilify their kids for bolting, after Saban threw them bags and lied to many of their faces.

It's malpractice that so-called reporters and commentators don't mention any of this when they broadcast Bama hysteria and continue to lionize Saban and thus implicitly endorse his hypocritical whining. They didn't even call him out when he claimed that "we have never bought a player."

F Bama. F Saban. Enjoyed seeing Toot crying to his mama after the game in '22.

Today in 1976.
Steelers and Lynn Swann defeated Dallas 21-17 for their second straight Super Bowl win.

Ex-Austin Peay basketball star Percy Howard caught his first and only pass in his NFL career (a touchdown from Roger Staubach)

That Percy Howard moment was awesome! Smooth move for a college basketball player.
