🏈 My take...

[Kirk Van de Graaff]

Thank you Nick Saban for what you have continued here at Alabama, thank you Texas for making an attempt at our coach and making everyone realize the job at Alabama is still one of the top spots for coaching. Thank you Mal Moore for never giving up, even when the cards was stacked against you, RIP, you left Alabama in great shape. Last but not least, thanks to all the recruits that stuck with Bama, you will be rewarded with a great fanbase, great coaching, and a chance to win more NC's.

Lets bust some Sooner ass!

And it's awesome that in the end, after all the fretting and worrying (by some), this was yet again a calculated move by Saban to take advantage of an opportunity. Why announce the contract extension on Friday evening? He could have done it Tuesday, or waited until Monday. He did it Friday evening. Why? Because he's Nicholas Lou Saban, and he wanted it done to kick off the biggest official visit weekend of the year. Roll Nick Saban. Roll 5 Star Recruits. Roll America. Roll Po'Boys.

 

[Kirk Van de Graaff]

Thats exactly why he did it today, Recruits. The man is genius.

Make a little money, recruit a few players.... Texas who?

Wednesday, I caught rumor of this being announced last night. That's what prompted me to tell TXOldTimer to "enjoy the banquet."

You mentioning timing has to include the point all those TX people read about this on their mobile devices during the TX banquet. I've seen a handful of people make reference to practically everyone at that banquet being glued to their smartphones.

Some of the banqueters no doubt got indigestion when the new AD talked about looking forward to working with Mack for years to come.

 

[bear facts]

Roll Po'Boys.

My new unofficial battle cry!

Well said, Porter & Kirk! Looking forward to more Bama hate for years to come . . .

Well that's just diabolical, and awesome.
