We are now at the "she did not recognize working at McDonalds on her resume, which is bad, but also she may not have worked at McDonalds, which is worse" stage of these proceedings.
Georgia was the best team all year, lost a conference championship game to Nick Saban by 3 points and got left out completely with the 5th best SOS rating.
So yes, one of these teams got snubbed. It's not the one that couldn't cover +59.5.
The product you see on the field in this Georgia vs Florida State game is a direct representation of what you get when a team gets snubbed from the CFP and you tell the kids the games they play don’t matter. Opt-outs ruined the game.
The sad thing about this “no one does this but AU” mindset is that just yesterday there were a like 3 other teams on national TV in their exact same situation with full, loud stadiums.
“We Auburn fans eat food and breathe air. You wouldn’t get it.”
Bryce Young literally saved this guy from being fired mid-season by running around like a banshee of some sort, finding receivers on broken plays. Never has a Heisman winner had so little help from his play caller.
O’Brien has coached Bryce Young (Alabama) and both Tom Brady and Deshaun Watson during some of their best seasons. Young won the Heisman Trophy in 2021 under O'Brien, and Alabama finished in the Top 10 in both of O’Brien’s seasons as OC averaging 39.9 and 41.1 points per game.

1) I don't blame him for asking for it.
2) I don't blame us/NATO for not doing it.
3) Asking for the universe just to get a couple of planets is a pretty good negotiation tactic.
Correct. Keep whining and we’ll steal other players we don’t even need. We will buy your entire defensive line with $5000 and a bunch of Taco Casa coupons.
Perspective:
If Auburn hired Hugh Freeze in 2021 instead of 2023 and we were in this exact situation, Auburn fans would not feel the same way they do now.
2 years of Bryan Harsin completely depleted Auburn’s roster and really took a toll on Auburn fans.
A Top 5 recruiting
Or you could take over an organization built by a guy who made a structure so strong, so grounded, so well-organized, that Les Miles won a national championship with it.
My hot take: You'd have to be freaking nuts to take on being the Alabama coach that follows Nick Saban.
Stay where you are, win, then take the Alabama job after that guy invariably gets run out after three years for not winning 12 games a year.
SOURCE: FSU QB Tate Rodemaker, who took over after Jordan Travis was injured and lost for the season, has told the Noles staff that he plans to enter the portal and that he will not play in the Orange Bowl vs Georgia.
@Mzenitz
first reported the news.
My god. You had the Heisman. We took it. You hired Pearl and we randomly got some better dude from Buffalo. You had the final four. Never had that didya Bama?
And we just drink that milkshake. We drink it up.
Have you ever heard of South Carolina? They did it for about 42 years straight. Did you happen to see Florida (same record as Auburn) playing an unbeaten team in their sold out stadium?
Y’all are a good fan base. You’re not special.
was unaware of any other 6 win team hosting a sell out against a game against a top 25 division title winner - much less three - but hey maybe michigan was like Auburn and only playing for bragging rights and not a championship game or CFP spot
The Auburn Heisman copium is strong.
It cannot be overemphasized how special it was to them that they were the school with the Heismans, and we were not. It was really a foundation of their pride.
And now we've got more. Just like that. Y'all can't have nothin'

Interesting . . . so franchisors keep tax records regarding minimum wage employees of their franchisees for 40+ years . . .
@janecoaston
You could likely expand this logic to other areas -- specifically, a lot of the Weirdo Right Twitter in general seems to be very focused on convincing lonely, aging men, "No, it is the normies that are wrong."

Notably, it’s a lawsuit from an organization that is an X sponsor. I know this because their ads became so frequent I blocked them.
So, yeah, that’s why it’s being magnified by the owner.
I want Nick Saban to say, “I need someone from the SEC to come show me how to coach Dallas Turner on this play, because I don’t know how to coach him to do better than he did here under the rule.”
In summary, Brandon Miller deserved better. He did not deserve the words that have been put out about him. But be sure of this, friends: no apologies will be forthcoming, ever.

"The quarterback in that position is defenseless by definition. So forceable contact initiated to the head and neck area could potentially lead to targeting."
Alabama LB Dallas Turner was penalized for this hit on LSU QB Jayden Daniels but targeting wasn't called or reviewed.
Just imagine, you're sitting there with your phone. You type this out. You look at it. And then you say, yes, yes, this is a good opinion that I need to express to 341,000 people.
We now have 16 misting 💦 fans that are being installed and tested at Bryant-Denny. Trying to secure 12 more for Ole Miss game.

Nick Saban and Jerry West are among five signers of a letter pushing West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin to support the Senate’s voting rights bill.
Saban and West endorsed Manchin’s 2018 re-election bid.
If the SEC isn’t going to protect innocent players from being asked irrelevant questions designed to set up an already written column, Alabama needs to do it. Don’t go to the PC. Pay the fine.
Y’all might as well get ready for the refs to be all in for Bama in the SECCG so we get 2 teams in. Just rank corruption in our favor.
It just feels so amazing being an Alabama fan. Just incredible.
@theoutpost999
@SwannMarcus89
So, an employee of a franchisee is actually an employee of the franchisor? Or are you saying the franchisee in this case collects and keeps tax records of persons who are not their employees?
Excellent points raised by Joe here. The question is, "How am I and other fans going to handle Nick Saban being on ESPN, and perhaps using that to help Alabama?"
Here's the answer:
You're going to sit there and like it. He's going to do it, and you can't do anything about it.
@janecoaston
The fact that huge swaths of both political bases in this country live in a reality made up in their own heads based on their internet consumption is … an issue.
@KylePorterCBS
I don't even understand why amateurs are upset by this. Is it going to hinder your enjoyment of playing that much if you know that your ProV1x isn't the exact same compound that Thomas and Spieth play?
Someone explain to me how even **if true** merely being in the car justifies putting this young man's name in the NYT + picture by a headline like this.
Please, help me out. Because I can't understand.
Auburn fans are having an awesome time right now. First, their dream. They get an anti vax coach. Now, Alabama loses a TOP DEFENDER. I mean he’s 4th string for us but he would be a TOP DEFENDER for them.
Agreed, Margaret. The referees are very biased toward us, as is the playoff committee and the ncaa. And there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
It feels absolutely amazing. It really does.
@butchpatrick1
He’s NOT Heisman worthy. He did not beat AU. Baja did as a team. In 4 OT’s under the new rules. Which suck. Tie or change them. He also intentionally grounded the ball at least 8 times and no ref threw a flag. Bias towards that team is rampant and must stop.

"Hey honey how was your day?"
"Pretty good. Got to go back on tv again, which was nice. Had to talk about the whole 'jacking it on zoom deal' again but hey, at least tomorrow's Friday."
I remember. 2 years ago. When we tore your hearts out, again. Go watch. Place was lit. People screaming. Seats packed.
Y’all are a group who, like many groups that find identity in being lesser-than, have created an internal mythology that “they” can’t take from you.
Clay Travis is watching this on his phone at a restaurant in Italy while his children try to get him to pay attention to them and he is seething over that one.
Love this so much. Boomers love to make fun of you for getting your oil changed before asking you how to use the World Wide Web to get AOL on their internet.
No. No they wouldn’t. Alabama is very special, things happen for us that don’t happen for any other team, and we deserve it all absolutely. Every bit of it.
If this happens in a game my head will explode and houndstooth rainbows will shoot out of my neck hole while ukulele music gently plays in the background
Also, the timeline makes clear that for reasons known only to him, the investigator substantially inflated Miller's role in "delivering the firearm."
He parked his car. That's what he did. He drove to where he was supposed to pick up his friends and he parked his car.

@ArmandDoma
Also, the
#1
way to solidify support from people who are sympathetic to your cause but disagree with tactics that have proven to be unhelpful is to tell them "shut up white man" and things of the like. That really opens minds and hearts.
Absolutely correct. We've cheated all the way and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it.
Also, it is very important to remember that lodging allegations on twitter that speak to the integrity of others, but for which you have no proof, is a Christian virtue.
I also think my Alabama fan friends will interpret this as a sign of Saban’s greatness. I don’t. I interpret it as a sign that a genuinely great coach (gag me, can’t believe I said that) had friends in high places who overlooked a legion of recruiting violations for ~10 years.
Plz enjoy this, in which the AU writer argues that Bama, who was penalized for 129 total yards, whose best WR was ejected, and who had a 1st down taken away when one of our guys got his helmet knocked off was aided by referees being biased in our favor.
Read this and realize a whole lot happened in a chaotic few minutes that night and that Brandon’s role was about like that of a middle infielder pitching the bottom of the 8th in a 16-1 blowout.
Shame on the
@SEC
officiating crew for calling this textbook tackle targeting and the
@NCAA
for allowing a perfect tackle like this to be taken away due to a very wrong call and rule. While also taking 3 quarters away from a player that did absolutely nothing wrong.
THIS IS A
Column: In a milk run of a press conference in which everyone avoided the words murder, gun, police and investigation, Alabama star Brandon Miller ended his silence. The questions will keep coming in the weeks ahead.
This is the best one of the day. Of all the freak outs, the state fire marshal giving committee members a preservation notice so they save their napkins upon which they wrote “lmao wow fsu sucks now” is the best.
Any
@CFBPlayoff
committee member that wishes to come forward to disclose their votes should do so NOW. I’m in conversations with legislators on additional action. Playoff committee members should take steps to preserve all documents.

#FlaPol
Very nice to see this reception after the last game of the year. It's the last game of the year for Auburn because they cheated, admitted they cheated, and then banned themselves from post-season play. For cheating.
Thoughts and prayers with our entire family as Brandon marches toward being the
#2
overall pick, while their efforts become futile.
Speaking of, y'all notice how all the interviews with the family stopped when Bama lost in the tournament? Huh.
Asked Wednesday at the NBA draft combine if he would have done anything differently the night of Jamea Harris' murder, Brandon Miller said, "Just be more aware of my surroundings and what I’m surrounded by. I think it could have changed the whole night.”
Thanks, Coach. Big of you to forgive him for not calling a guy who last coached when 75% of the SEC ran offenses straight out of the original Tecmo Bowl.
The chances of Miles being released with charges dismissed are > chances of his conviction. This type of information is just the beginning.
In a fair world, there would be egg on a lot of faces who used this tragic situation to try to gig Brandon Miller.
Ex-Alabama basketball player Darius Miles immunity hearing will officially continue on Sept. 29, per court documents.
ICYMI, here's what happened on the second day of it Tuesday:
After seeing the story that UA saw from day 1, it's easy to see why Miller and Bradley were never suspended. It's easy to see why UA did what it did. But that's how things go these days -- you make decisions based on the best info you have and get judged by people . . .

Hey, just be glad they didn’t decide to tell everyone you’re an accessory to murder and then drop the story completely when better journalists proved them wrong with documentary evidence.
Brandon Miller named 1st team All-Rookie.
Alabama’s first All-Rookie performer since Collin Sexton in 2018 and first All-Rookie 1st team since Antonio McDyess in 1996.
We rehab coaches. It's what we do. We're not here to win games. We're here to give Lane Kiffin a home, rehabilitate his image, and then release him back into the world with fire tweets and the prosperity gospel.
