    I guess if the Aggies or Longhorns win a championship, it will be tainted. Cheaters just like the Astros. That’s what they do down in Texas. They cheat.

    I didn't interpret it as Jimbo saying he was better than anyone else. Jimbo is saying, Saban needs to come down to earth. He's only GOD in Alabama.

    Agree with that. But he had the upper hand and could have crushed Saban using more grace. Saban prob secretly enjoys unhinging an opponent.

    Does he? If it’s from his time with Saban, seems like it’d be difficult ousting him without potentially ousting himself.

    The best part of this, other than Saban acting like a jackass as usual, is Aggies acting like Aggies.

    Saban is the one who looks unhinged and out of touch.

    So this makes Saban look less unhinged?

    What's so bad about A&M officials looking for Saba to be fined or suspended for what he accused A&M of doing?

    I wonder what Saban would have to say about the pancake fund?

    Why are you so enamored by the Pancake fund? It's an announced NIL deal for enrolled kids, that's literally exactly how the NIL is supposed to work.

    As for A&M, it's not a good look because you have Fisher saying they were done with it and moving on while they secretly cried to Sankey at the same. They wrote a letter to the commissioner of the freaking SEC telling him he needs to force Saban to apologize AND be fined or suspended. Talk about being out of touch.

    Dude you don't know if he secretly cried to sanky and this happened before he said they were done with it so you are just twisting **** up to fit a narrative.

    All of this happened before Fisher's press conference according to your article.

    "The morning after Alabama football coach Nick Saban alleged Texas A&M’s football program “bought every player on their team,” Texas A&M University President M. Katherine Banks and Director of Athletics Ross Bjork told SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey the conference should consider suspending and fining Saban for his comments.

    Through an open records request, On3 obtained an email, co-signed by Banks, that Bjork sent to Sankey on May 19. Bjork and Sankey also had multiple phone conversations that morning, according to the email exchange, and Sankey and Texas A&M football coach Jimbo Fisher reportedly spoke on the phone prior to Fisher’s now-infamous press conference."

    How is what they asked out of touch he accused A&M of cheating.

    I have no issue with the pancake fund per se but it's no different from what A&M is doing.

    My issue with the pancake fund was you guys acting like it was a game-changer and it would separate UT from everybody else.
