Saban retires - Any portal activity we can hope for?

[goboilers2]

I have no idea how many scholarships we have left.

Saban was one of those coaches we love to hate. I remember sitting in RA as Tiller, Brees, & Co, stuffed Saban's #5 Spartans. A glorious Homecoming, 1999.

They have a few RBs in the portal. I’m Partial to Kobe Prentice at WR too.

 

[POTFHBTFU]

I’m not sure we have much room on our roster left? I thought we were close. Doubt we get any offensive players except maybe a WR.

Nick Saban - 0-3 versus Purdue all time.

He’s been ducking us the last few decades.

Coward!

Pretty sure in his LSU/Bama clauses it had a line that read "No games with PURDUE!!!"

Was that the Chris Daniels game? I was also at that one.

I think it was. It was a fun day to be a Boilermaker!

I was at that one and the blocked FG miracle game in 97.

 

[HUD628]

I was at that one and the blocked FG miracle game in 97.

I was too. And at 15 years old, that 97 game is what completely set the hook in me and ruined the rest of my life. lol

Didn't Todd Stelma block a punt the following year to beat them in EL? Don't ask me how I remember that name lol

 

[boilermaker75]

I was at that one and the blocked FG miracle game in 97.

I was sitting with my brother. When MSU lined up for the field goal I told him that was a stupid decision by Saban. The only way we could win was block the FG for a TD and then get the on-side kick, LOL. About the only time I ever called it.

Did Matt Mitrione intercept a screen pass in that one near the end of the game?

Ole Meat. He was a character.

 

[ghostoffatjack]

Nope, not with Washington’s Head Coach accepting the job today! You might get some from the fallout at Washington though.

I think he’s a good hire but that’s not how it’s perceived here in SEC country.

Man I think it is an home run hire unless it is something other than winning as he has won immediately at every stop in his coaching career. If I was a AD I would hire him in a New York minute but people are funny at times!

He even made IU a winner during the brief time he was there as offensive coordinator.

Now, when the IU fans come here and say they almost had a good coach, we can finally believe them.

You’re forgetting Urban, Gruden, Harbaugh, the other Gruden, the other Harbaugh…

 

[Kern County]

The IU NIL program was Taco Bell coupons until their hooper got arrested in the parking lot because they wouldn’t serve him. Not a smart move and he’s earned the wrath of his basketball and football brethren. TB is considered gourmet food in Bloomington, as is anything with the employee discount from Walmart.

Nahhh. POTFH.

Caleb Downs, a second team AA, just announced that he is entering the Portal. He is a safety that we could definitely use. However, I know that is an absolute long shot.

Aren't we pretty much set at safety with Theineman and Beasley?

If Beasley would turn out to be like Theineman, then yes. Downs is a proven commodity, like Theineman, though. Would be a nice problem to have.

I would think. But then again I thought we were set at DE…

Not a chance. Ohio state or UGa will get him.

Tejas?

Looks like UGA

Following his position coach from Alabama?

Correct. He also grew up about 30 minutes from Athens.

If it’s not UGA, for some reason he really likes Day and OSU and was close to committing there the first time according to “inside” sources. Decision should be quick and I’d be 99.9% certain it’s one of those two.
