Alabama Fan Updates Oregon Fans' T-Shirts
Last month, as Oregon was rolling through the Pac-12, some enterprising UO students turned fans' chants of "We Want Bama" into a T-shirt. The chants and the shirts looked ahead to a possible matchup with the Crimson Tide in the BCS title game. With those plans now on hold after last night, a 'Bama f...
Nick Saban's Agent Sure Seems To Be Shopping Him To Texas
When the AP first reported news of a January phone call between Texas administrators and Nick Saban's agent Jimmy Sexton, Saban said he didn't know anything about it, and that he's too old to start somewhere else. New documents indicate the call took place, and not only did Sexton tell UT officials ...

What Would A Jaguars-Alabama Betting Line Look Like?
There's a dude at my gym who blasts Linkin Park through his Beats when he's in the locker room. But he doesn't WEAR his headphones. He uses them as speakers and plays the butt rock loud enough so that he can hear them without putting them on all the way. And then he sings along. That's grounds for m...

Report: Alabama Assistant Loaned Money To HaHa Clinton-Dix
After yesterday's practice, Nick Saban announced that standout safety Ha'Sean "HaHa" Clinton-Dix was suspended indefinitely. No reason given, just "violation of team rules," as with many of the other nine Bama players suspended over the past eight months. Now we've got a pretty good clue: Alabama ha...

Johnny Manziel, The Puppet: Texas A&M-Alabama <em>GameDay</em> Sign Roundup
We find ourselves on yet another Saturday morning cultivating the best efforts of the (mostly) drunken, (mostly) teen-aged minds of those shirking the responsibility and honor associated with higher education for some good fuckin' times. God bless you, you animals. ...
Behold, A Life-Sized Jell-O Mold Of Nick Saban's Face
Spilly, SBNations's food humorist—and a Pitt fan, of all things—unveiled his latest creation today, along with a breakdown of how it was done. It would not be an understatement to describe this as a Spilly masterpiece. Also not an understatement: This is the closest Nick Saban has ever come to resem...
Nick Saban Walks Out Of Press Conference Over D.J. Fluker Questions
This Saban presser, on the heels of the Yahoo report that former offensive standout D.J. Fluker was funneling cash into the Alabama program, is a thing of beauty. It's very Belichickian in it's format: boring we-had-a-good-week-of-practice-blah-blah beginning followed by a preemptive statement of no...
Report: NFL Agents Funneled Money To College Players
A big Yahoo report dropped today, presumably to ride/torpedo the momentum of SI's flawed Oklahoma State exposé. It claims that NFL agents and financial advisers funneled tens of thousands of dollars to five college players, including Alabama tackle D.J. Fluker....

<em>Sports Illustrated</em> Falls For Satire About Nick Saban Visiting Texas
What you see above is the story that went screaming out on the SI Wire at SI.com earlier today. Technically, it's true: Nick Saban is indeed visiting Texas this weekend—but only because Alabama's showdown with Texas A&M is still scheduled for Saturday in College Station. But that's not all SI.com is...
