Yeah I bet having 100 titles already makes it easier to handle 

Haha. I joked with my Georgia buddy that I would use one of my 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017, or 2020 National Champion t-shirts to dry my tears. In all seriousness though, I enjoy the wins and try not to let the losses affect me at all. It is just a game after all.

I hope so. No excuses from me though. Georgia just brought it the whole 60 minutes tonight. Bama brought it for about 51 minutes. 

I heard Sabin after the game, talking to Smart--and he was sincere and humble and it was genuine.  I think he told Smart, "God Bless you."  He was smiling and almost happy that his understudy was feeling what he has felt 7 times.  I have new respect for Sabin. Class Act.  (And I am a Gamecock fan, so I have no dog in the fight.   Too soon?)

People love to talk trash about Saban, but I think he is truly in coaching to help people achieve the highest level of success they can achieve.

Look at some of the players who have come out of Bama but went on to fail miserably in the NFL (Rolando McLain, Trent Richardson, Rueben Foster, etc).  While at Bama, Saban helped those men achieve success, but it was something they could not sustain once they left Bama. I think that says something for the program Saban runs. 

Then look at all the retread coaches he brings in. Kiffin, Butch Davis, Bill O’Brien, and many more. Yes, he brings them in because he thinks they can help his program. But he also brings them in with the knowledge that if he does help them turn it around, they will be moving on. 

I think what you saw there at the en md was true happiness for someone Saban thinks extremely highly of and someone who Saban is happy to see win a championship, because Saban knows how hard Kirby worked to get to where he is.

Sure, it was overhyped, overproduced spectacle. But at its heart, this was the story of a quarterback ascending from obscurity to the mountaintop, and a fanbase that had watched all its rivals enjoy success finally indulging in its own. That’s exactly what sports are all about. Congrats, once again, to the Dawgs.

      All three were horrendous though.  A Stroud sucks too the pain of the Bryce trade is watching a home town kid go to the Patriots and in all likelihood make a SB appearance in his second year....

      Could Morgan be eyeing Trey Hendrickson

      By Jackson113.2 · Posted

      Carolina Panthers projected to take massive swing for Trey Hendrickson in free agency And one ESPN analyst believes the Panthers have a clear path to one blockbuster free-agent signing that would shake the NFL to its foundations. Aaron Schatz thought the Panthers make a ton of sense for edge rusher Trey Hendrickson, whose time with the Cincinnati Bengals looks up. This isn't the sort of signing Morgan typically goes for, but Carolina is ready to win now. That changes the landscape considerably. Acquiring Hendrickson won't be cheap. The NFL's sack leader in 2023 and 2024 should be in high demand on the open market, and the Bengals will likely allow him to explore other employment opportunities. It would be an all-in move from Morgan, but the rewards might be substantial as the Panthers look to get over the hump. Hendrickson is an elite pass-rusher. His relentless motor, exceptional technique, and violent hands make him a legitimate force that very few around the league can match. He may be 31 years old now, but there is nothing to suggest that he cannot keep performing well at the tail-end of his playing journey. According to Spotrac, Hendrickson is expected to command an annual salary of $25.44 million on a two-year, $50.89 million deal. The Panthers would have to move some money around to make it work, but now is the time to strike after winning the NFC South and making the playoffs in 2025.
