    What Paul Finebaum said on Tim Brando Show this morning talking about Saban praising Oklahoma State Sunday night on the BCS selection show after already placing the Cowboys 4th on his Coaches Poll ballot.

    Also said he felt that Saban had an opportunity to man up at that time but chose instead to turn and run the other way.

    Wow. Wouldn't want to have to manage his tweets right now.

    Saban is a coward.

    Same reason he tucked tail at Christmas slinking out of town and announced leaving LSU in a hotel in Florida instead of standing up to face LSU fans in Baton Rouge.

    Leaving wasn't the issue, it's how he handled it.

    Saban's making a move to Texas ... Sexton presser at 11

    Worse case scenario ... Sexton jacks up Bama for another $1M+/year

    Making Saban $7 Million dwarf:hihi:

    1. Texas $848.3 million --> Where does Saban geaux follow the $$$$
    2. Georgia $483.6 million
    3. Penn State $446.9 million
    4. Florida $421.8 million
    5. LSU $397.4 million

    Alabama is not in the Top 5 :eek:

    This is not bullshight folks ... It's happening!!!

    Him and Petrino are two peas in a pod. They both left their past jobs the same way, cowardly. LSU, then Miami. Soon, Alabama. Louisville, then Atlanta. Soon, Arkansas.

    Surely at some point it can't be about money, can it?

    I completely disagree. I would expect Miles to do the same thing.
    Lets face it guys the SEC championship is the ONLY title in our world that is real. Its decided on the field and there is no dispute.
    Bowls, BCS etc is nothing but a popularity contest and EVERY year there are 2 or 3 teams complaining they could have won it. Not in the SEC title game.

    So I dont Blame Saban at all, matter of fact I think Peterson as Boise finally spoke the truth about the BCS. His first priority is to help Boise, everything else is secondary.
    Saban did the exact same thing, until he gets a higher paying job his "loyalty" although thin and money driven is to Bama and Bama only. He was looking out for his pocket book and his program.
    So personally I am surprised he didnt vote them at 5. In this silly season (Bowls and BCS) a program has one loyalty. Themselves.

    So I have no issue with it.

    Finebaum tweet two hours ago - "I'm still shocked at Saban voting Okl St #4. His reputation has been cheapened by his attempt to manipulate the system."

    I dont Blame Saban for going to Miami.....Let's face it, it's what you coach for to be the best that you can be, he had to take his shot at the pro's and he did. He didn't cut it so he came back to the sec, I can't blame him there, where I do blame him is the way he handled it in Miami......saying he definately was not leaving ...twice then hauling butt.

    As for Petrino......he is the biggest scum of the coaching world....you do not bail out the way he did on your team...anywhere or ever. petrino could volunteer to by my o-cordinator for free....and I'd have his behind arrested for tresspassing. Dude sickens me!!

    You maybe right that is why I voted for bama to go to the
    MUSIC CITY BOWL I HAVE A FEELING WE COULD BEAT OK ST LIKE WE HAVE EACH TEAM WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE TEAM FROM SABANVILLE ALABAMA . That is what Bowl games are for ,the team to relax and show off and have fun . The SEC Championship is the one that counts .
