I think it was just people believing what they wanted to believe - and the arrogance of people thinking that money solves all issues. Saban-to-Texas never made any sense, but the agent was smart enough to use it against Alabama.
It will be awesome to watch people make fun of UT if Mack stays. I absolutely love sports theatrics as long as a team I support isn't involved. (I still think Mack is a goner). Congrats to Alabama football, which gets to remain relevant.
