Tubs, to the rescue!
You’ve got to admit a man who famously jumped ship from a school during a lunch with recruits ought to be an expert on free-for-alls.
Yeah, this is going to end well.
Tubs, to the rescue!
From Capitol Hill: Tommy Tuberville, the coach-turned-senator, intends to draft an NIL bill with Sen. Joe Manchin, he tells @SINow.
Says Tuberville on the state of college sports: “I’ve talked to all my buddies. It’s a mess. It’s a free-for-all.”https://t.co/7Z6jvck3GR

“And Georgia fans, don’t be turds. Enjoy this. Soak it up. It’s awesome. If you don’t win this year, it’s still not a failure. It’s a heck of a run. Back-to-back in the Playoff era hasn’t been done. So, to ask for a third I feel like it’s gluttonous. I feel like it’s not OK. But we’ll be in the mix.”-- David Pollack, On3.com, 5/9/23
Ha. I just wish he would have stayed at Auburn long enough to go 9-3 with Cam.

We can give ol Tommy Tatertown righteous hell as he deserves it. As far as Senatorial competence he’s in the top 10% as a great many are old, incontinent, senile or just plain fuckn stupid. They’re all grifters who could be prosecuted for criminal misconduct. Now they’re getting involved in a mess they’ll only make worse.
As the great philosopher and drummer Ringo Starr once said, “Everything government touches turns to shit”.

I heard that today. What a fucking joke. Heisman Trophy winner, arguably two of the best receivers in the nation, probably the best defensive player in the nation, beat the eventual national champion soundly to win the SEC, and made it to the national championship game…but they were in the midst of a rebuilding year. I’ll grant him that they lost a lot of talent to the NFL in the 2021 draft, but a rebuilding year? GFY.
Not one person in the paid media will call him out for saying it and playing his typical mind-fuck games. And after the Metchie/Williams excuse this will become the next excuse Bama fans will use between now and Labor Day weekend. If Kirby were to use that this year the paid media would lambast and ridicule him.

Ranger Russ said, “We’re fucked”.
(The first thought that goes through a recruit’s mind when the DI boards the bus in front of the receiving area. If the DI doesn’t wait until the bus comes to a complete stop before he jumps in, it becomes, “We’re really, fucked”).
That should go into the lexicon to refer to anytime politicians get involved in college sports.
Well said Ranger.
I was going to post that the quickest way to go from SNAFU to FUBAR is to get congress involved. And yeah, Tubbs is one of the better ones so what does that say about the rest of the worthless, self-serving POS in the federal government?
In Clancy’s “Debt of Honor”, Congress gets wiped out by a plane crashing into the capital during a joint session of congress.
The people are asked to send farmers, teachers, grocers, etc. to replace congress instead of (sorry Bluto….although I would vote for you) lawyers and politicians.
I certainly don’t want our congressmen wiped out like that, but I would love to see practically every single one of them replaced and denied a pension and a position as a lobbyist. Term limits (a limit of two for a House Rep and one for a Senator would be a good start).

When I read Clancy’s DoH in the mid-90’s I did a face palm. It took seven years but those goat fuckers plagiarized that scheme and expanded it. They never had an original idea in their heads but they damn sure read and watch films. Meanwhile the very ones they sought to exterminate were too busy lining their pockets to listen to security experts until it was too late. Then they overreacted as a matter of course.
Yeah, travel turned to shit.

Tubs was a mediocre coach who took advantage of Jetgate, the BCS snub in 2004, and an Alabama program in constant crisis mode to make everyone think he was some kind of wily genius. Him getting elected to the senate alone is grounds for knocking the state of Alabama down to “territory” status.

The current NIL, transfer portal and consolidation of conferences is unquestionably stealing some of my love of college football but I, for one, never underestimate the ability of our Federal government and D.C. bureaucrats to take a bad situation and make it more complex and worse.
