  1. I don't remember where I read that but found couple of links indicating it. https://247sports.com/article/nick-saban-suggested-steve-sarkisian-could-succeed-him-as-alabama-football-coach-john-talty-reports-215632206/ https://www.heartlandcollegesports.com/2021/01/11/joel-klatt-steve-sarkisian-had-an-agreement-to-succeed-nick-saban-at-alabama/
  2. That was an offensive PI, and the previous one wasn't a defensive PI.
  3. IIRC, I read/heard that among all the coaches Saban had on his staff, and he had a lot of very good coaches, he valued Sark the most and was planning on having him take over at Alabama after he retires. Saban said that Sark was the best at connecting with players.
  4. Nothing against you. Just kidding about jinxing you again.
  5. This is an absolutely beautiful encapsulation of aggy worldview. This should be saved in aggypedia. It is not our fault that we are a “National Icon”.
  6. He was my Ph.D. advisor. I have been to his home for dinner, watched him eat lunches while discussing our research, traveled with him to conferences, etc. We knew each other pretty well.
  7. My professor at UT is a vegetarian/vegan and he had this cartoon on his door.
  8. I was pretty sure we were getting in: 1. SEC presence in CFP is an axiom, because, well, they have dominated it. 2. Our Alabama win sets the floor high due to said bias (point 1) 3. Hence, I wanted Alabama to win; we would lose our floor otherwise. If Georgia had won, the committee wouldn't have put us as #4 because FSU looked bad (current reasoning). This rationalization disappears when SEC is already in.
  9. The other game is just a punt fest. Looks like UM is content with the punt return TD and just play defense.
  10. why the TO with 3 seconds? the only possibility is the defensive score
  11. special teams are supposed to be the saving grace for Iowa.
  12. I am not so sure that SEC is guaranteed to be in. Of the top 5 and if FSU wins, they don't have an unbeaten champ (UM, UW, FSU) and the 4th champ beat their champ. It seems a clean enough decision to me to put Alabama 5th.
  13. He didn't want the conversation to be their loss to Texas.
  14. Georgia D-line is not that great. They need their O to chew clock.
  15. up 2 scores, UW should play normal defense.
  16. We are no longer vagabonds but back to being landlords.
  17. Yeah, this is about SEC home games, and UT/UM is not.
  18. I don't understand why the defense doesn't send a DB at the QB to make him run a bit. If you give all day, makes it easy for QB.
  19. Scared? I guess you don't have any argument of substance. I am sure your sooner buddies are cheering for you.
  20. I cannot imagine a UT fan wishing that OU makes it to the final. Besides wishing for something that OU fans want, there is no point from UT perspective either. Playing a top-15 OU or top-15 OSU makes no difference to our chances for CFP. Truly bizarre behavior, to say the least.
  21. With this win, Sark has raised his average to 8 wins per season at Texas, hopefully to never fall below.
