I'm sure it's a number of factors, but part of me wonders if we have the worst sports journalists in college football. It seems like they are working against the program half the time, constantly spreading lies and stirring up drama that reflects badly on the team. They scream negative press from the mountaintops. You think the Alabama sports writers do anything but protect the program at all costs? They'd get strung up in trees otherwise.
Hell, the primary Gator beat writer for the Sun just wrote a piece on all the great things about UGA winning another NC. Even Dooley wouldn't have written such trash for Gator fans to read.
If a lot of this Rashada stuff turns out to be pure lies, On3 should receive a mass loss of subscribers. It's outrageous, and people are actually paying money for it.
Was going to post this yesterday but never got around to it. They are an absolute joke. How many other teams do you hear about their beat writers spoiling a kids commitment and costing the team that recruit. Believe it happened 2 or 3 times this past cycle. Also you have the dips$it that got caught saying that he would be here way longer than Napier ever will be. If that was Satan or Shart, that fellow would have been escorted out and given a thorough beating before being told he was fired. Then you have Edgar, the gift that keeps on giving, blasting our pre-season Heisman hopeful QB getting a speeding ticket. Was it a bad look? Yes. Is it something that should have been made a big deal and blasted to the public? No, it could have and SHOULD have been handled in house.
Can't recall the exact details but when Pruitt was at Toothless, he basically came out and told the cops that he can't believe they are trying to get one of the football players in trouble because at Alabama they let this type of stuff slide all the time. We are fighting a losing battle. Other rival schools are win at all costs and we are just happy to be able to have team to put on the field.
Going to be an unpopular opinion but if the kid wants $13 mil, then deliver the money. People are losing their mind over the deal but it was discussed in other threads that we are taking the money ball approach to NIL, phucking shoot me I can't believe I just typed that. Go all in on the QB and try to budget around him. If giving him that money would lead to us winning a National Championship or bring us out of the cellar to set us up for that next step for Lagway to take, would you all be complaining about that $13 mil?
From what I've heard, the original deal was for $8 and they've asked for $5 more before striking the deal. If we are willing to give him 8, whats 5 more?
