I dunno,2 seasons with the Ducks and an assistant to Kirby Smart doesn't spell Whiz Kid.

Saban just realized his bag money men no longer were an advantage...
Exactly.  NIL is starting to cut into Alabama's advantage.

It's been 10 years since Ohio State won a National Championship.  Are they still relevant?

If you don't like it...

...turn off the TV.
Honestly, I have. I watch less baseball and go to less games than I ever have. Same with the NBA. I turn on the Browns when it fits in the schedule, but I prioritize family time and events over the games.

I just dislike the transition it’s been since I was a kid. Growing up, these events were wrapped in as part of life. For my kids, it will be something that’s brought in a couple times a year.

I did make plenty of time for Michigan football this year lol.. was a good time for a final run before the entire college football product falls apart at the seams.

I wonder how many Bama players will enter the transfer portal?  I think this might give the Badgers a 50/50 chance of winng the Alabama vs Wisconsin game this year.  Lol

Yeah, you could be an extremely good coach and still not come close to matching that legacy
Yup. As Ryan Day is finding out right now in trying to replace Urbz. 

Urbz won a Natty and never lost to Michigan. Ryan Day can’t beat Michigan and Michigan just won the Natty. Homie is coaching for his job in 2024. Better win THE GAME or he’s probably finito.

there isn’t a more sh*t highly paid “elite” coach in the game than Franklin nor a bigger assclown “journalist” in sports tabloid media than Pete Thamel. Both of those donkeys suck at their jobs.

Saban retires with the same career win% as Nebraska's Bob Devaney......but with twice the volume and 3x the NCs.

Just as easy for you to ignore his comment also - one can enjoy football but not like what it's morphing in to. Last I checked this a comment section,with some lamenting if we all ignored each others bitching wouldn't be much of a website

Sorry, my comment came across differently than I intended. It wasn't meant to be an "if you don't like it, don't watch" statement. And it certainly wasn't personally directed at @SuperMario with that sort of connotation in mind. However I can see how it came across that way. 

What I was trying to get across is that it's easy to lament the massive amount of money in sports but you have to also recognize that the money is there because there's massive fan interest in sports. And that the way to get money out of sports is to have less/no fan interest. I.e. fans "turning off the TV", not going to games, not buying merch, etc. 

We can all think it's crazy how much money is going on, but when run of the mill NFL regular-season games get 17M viewers to justify high-dollar advertisement sales on the broadcast, well, that's why there's all that money...

You seem quite bitter and angry around the clock. Maybe some yoga or JJ McCarthy meditation would help...Just an idea.
