    That's a good story and all, but Saban doesn't speak much about succession. He's Hyman Roth and secretly believes that he's going to live forever. Unless you have a link where he's discussing it in an interview, that part of what you heard is likely bullshit. I have friends that have been at Bama longer than anyone else and they don't think he's got a clock ticking.

    I don't remember where I read that but found couple of links indicating it.

    Didn’t really have an hour to watch the whole thing, but couldn’t turn it off.  Thanks for posting.  How lucky are we to have him as our coach.  I wonder if Del Conte and those involved in hiring him knew what they had when they pulled the trigger to get him on board.  If so, hats off to them.  I also got the feeling that Sark knew what he had with this team (obviously recorded prior to this season) when he made the interview.

    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.

    This was in the game thread for GT vs UCF on Texags. I know we have a 1364 pages long thread about aggy, but at least it's all kept in one place for the purpose of laughing at them. They have to bitch about the great espin/tsip football conspiracy in threads to support one of their ex-players in a bowl game.

    You must be a very young Aggie dad or have not lived in Texas long. The Texas ( As in State of Texas) political machine has driven t.u. football for years. See, that school in Austin is known for decades producing , journalism majors, lawyers, business majors , political science majors that have found the way to the public service arena known as old school, Texas politics.
    In comparison but few of those politicians have come from TAMU.
    The political machine in Texas has always assured, money, bias, exposure and special treatment for t.u. You don't have to look far to see the influence and corruption.
    Anybody that has been born and raised in Texas is well aware of this…. And not just Aggies. Speak to influential lawyers, businessmen, politicians from the other schools in Texas and you will find confirmation of the same.
    Also glance at the instances of movies, TV shows, etc that have showcased something t.u. (Like the instances of references to t.u.in the TV series "Friday Night Lights" or the movie that featured Tommy Lee Jones as a Texas Rangers taking care of t.u. Cheerleaders) just to give two examples of the bias due to journalists and liberal art grads of that place in Austin.
    The arrogance and entitlement of the grads and fan base does nothing but support the entire fact…, after all they commonly say " but we are Texas".
    How do you think they worked their way into the SEC? Why was it done so secretive by the SEC commissioner?
    Simple.., the old Texas political t.u. Mafia… it's alive and well….. everybody in the old Southwest Conference knew it (especially poor SMU after the political pressure was put on the Dallas Morning News to "expose" the story by the t.u. Politics machine. Everybody in the Big 12 knew it when the back room deal between t.u. And ESIpN were made on the Longhorn network…and soon everybody in the SEC will get to experience the same.
    Tonight's halftime special on t.u. was classic t.u. control propaganda by them and their minions at ESiPN.
    No special on Alabama, or Washington being "back" nope….all about the slobbering over t.u. … after all, the announcer himself said they are a "National Icon".
    So bless your little heart if you don't really no the truth.

    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”.

    How do you know ow he's a vegan?

    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. 

  5. 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.

    Weird ass perspective. I don’t give a fuck if OU is in the title game, Texas will be there to shut the door. It pads our playoff case much better than a win against a team that lost to South Alabama. Admit you’re scared of Oklahoma. Those T-Shirts Stutsman were selling were for folks like you.

    Scared? I guess you don't have any argument of substance. I am sure your sooner buddies are cheering for you.
