They seem to have one player who is likeable so that is a bit of a stretch.

Those yes most hate of teams isn't based on the players but the institution. So this could apply to most.

There are exceptions of course, like FSU.

Naw people would hate them as any program that regularly wins and love them as any underdog.

Urban seemed to do a real good job of playing up the disrespect card in private to fire the team up but having everyone be really measured in public, like even after they won no one really came across like a cocky rear end in a top hat.

If you feel awkward about rooting for Ohio State, just pretend Ohio State is an SEC Team that has been lovely for years that Urban started coaching and now they're good.

Pretend Ohio State is Kentucky or something. Kentucky football not Kentucky basketball.

A few years ago FSU wanted everyone to do this but I guess they figured out it was annoying and backpedaled. I still write the Florida State University though.

Nick Saban went to Kent State but he was born in West Virginia. The state of Ohio can't claim him any more legitimately than Alabama can claim those those four or five national championships. You know the ones.

Are these guys going to count against incoming class limits or does it mean they just get to keep getting paid for four years if they have ever signed a LOI?

I'm not sure we'll ever see another super-serious infractions case against a major program before the amateurism model is fundamentally revised.

Also, pays to be Bama.

It means an LOI is a binding 4 year contract now and not performing to expectations will, much to the SEC's chagrin, not be a valid reason for dumping them and not renewing their 'ship.

What this will mean initially is just bullshitting medical redshirt reasons(a smart kid would refuse one unless they pay him some cash under the table to take it) and being the world's most unbelievable douchebags(not a stretch for 99% of head coaches) to force transfers but this is a good start and a move forward.

He's probably referring to seasons like 1941 where they went 9-2 and finished #3 in the SEC and #20 in the country in the AP Poll but claim the national championship anyway, or 1964 when, as #1 they lost the Orange Bowl to #5 Texas (while #2 Arkansas beat #6 Nebraska) and claimed the national championship anyway, or 1973 when, as #1, they lost the Sugar Bowl to #3 Notre Dame and claimed the national championship anyway.

Cam Newton came and went and no programs were punished for the brazen recruiting violations involved in his transfer, if that can happen then Alabama will never get hit.

This one makes me extra mad because it is our lone SEC title in all of our existence. Not only that, but about half of our starting line up from that team went on to die in WWII, so we couldn't even build off of that success.
