Villanova

3 to win w/ 8 seconds left, 58-57 over DePaul.

 

[knoxvol52]

Georgia should be embarrassed if they loss a game to a 0-18 Missouri team.

Missouri leading 57-52 3:48 seconds left.

 

[jakez4ut]

Heaving those 3's on the previous two possessions really killed Missouri. Poor shot selection in two really big moments.

Trivia: who was the last SEC basketball team to win exactly zero SEC games in a season (before Missouri)?

 

[engineerVOL]

I was at the games tonight. First game was wild, very fun. My wife and kids had a blast.

Missouri… is an abomination.

Sh0w me.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Ummm it’s alot better now, it caused Saban to retire. It also spread the talent to other teams.

Your opinion is noted. I disagree.

Tennessee's little brother .

College football was better before NIL and the transfer portal. It seems like some TN fans just hate anything that Saban ever says. I hate him but I agree with him. Commitment means nothing anymore and neither does loyalty to a team. Having to constantly recruit committed players because of a paycheck is ridiculous.

College football was better when coaches weren't making obscene amounts of money. But I bet Saban has no problem with that.

Sh0w me.

haha

Would Saban coach Alabama for free? Doubt it.

It’s just very hypocritical for Nick and his wife to bitch and moan about kids wanting their fair share as they sit in their $20m beach house. Saban would be selling cars if it wasn’t for the cash cow that college football has become.

Bama’s been paying kids for decades. Suddenly the playing field is evened and now it’s an issue?

Yeah, the current landscape does suck, but it’s better than the alternative of which we had absolutely 0 parity at the top of the game. UT would NOT be where they are right now without NIL/ portal - it would take half a decade to replicate the 2022 season with the mess Heupel took over.

Let’s be honest. Almost every team has been paying kids for decades. It’s nothing like it is now. And let’s be honest about something else. If not for coaches like Saban, there would be a ton of kids never attending college or getting to the pros.

Funny how in Fulmers prime there was no NIL or portal and we were in better shape than we are now. You think the playing field is leveling out? How?

Correct. All the way back in 2019

Nor should he. This is the way the business world works. The bosses always make more than the employees.

Stackhouse's first season as coach , sorry it was Bryce Drew's last season.

They’ve come a long way.

Edit: lol, maybe not.

FSU can defeat UNC , tomorrow at 12 on ESPN..

LOL what?! The business world works by people making what the market is willing to pay them.

How many nfl coaches make more than their star players? NBA? Premier League? MLB? NHL? You have a poor understanding of how the business world works.

Bryce Drew… he was about as immature as Butch. Too unstable for that level of job.

Plenty of great coaches before Saban, and they weren't paid millions to coach a game. When the schools and the networks and all the talking heads made football all about the money, that's when football started down this path. You can't rake in obscene amounts of money off the blood, sweat, and tears of young kids then cut them out. Would I prefer football be like it once was? Absolutely. But it goes much further back than NIL.
