00:00Just an incredible moment on Finebaum a few minutes ago. Caller, yelling into background: WILL YOU SHUT UP I’M TRYING TO TALK TO PAUL Paul: Who exactly were you yelling at? Caller: MY DAMN CAT- A scene from last night: Former Tennessee coach Derek Dooley quietly eating a container of spaghetti and meatballs in the corner as Vols fans celebrated right above his head.
- Regardless of whether Brandon Miller legally did anything wrong, bringing a gun that resulted in the death of a human being isn't "wrong spot at the wrong time." I'm still flabbergasted Nate Oats actually used those words to describe the situation.
- The name to watch for this job is Nebraska coach Matt Rhule, according to sources.Penn State has fired James Franklin, sources tells @CBSSports
- Went up to the guy wearing the “Killing our way through the SEC shirt” and he told me to “Get the fuck out of my face.” Claimed that he was, in fact, a Bama fan and would be back for tomorrow’s game.
- The Jets selling their soul for Aaron Rodgers only for him to be a washed up bum and the team faring even worse than it did under Zach Wilson was the most Jets outcome possible, really.
- This is an all-time tweet from former LSU president William Tate in light of the Scott Woodward news tonight
- With Jeremy Pruitt back in the news, it reminds me of a favorite Nick Saban anecdote that didn't make the book. One night out recruiting, Pruitt and Saban are looking to get some food. Pruitt suggests Zaxby's. Saban looks at Pruitt and says, "What the fuck is a Zaxby's?"
- My initial take is Kalen DeBoer losing to Vanderbilt here is worse than any loss of the Nick Saban era including the famous loss to Louisiana Monroe in 2007. That it came a way after beating Georgia to become No. 1 in the country is almost incomprehensible.
- Weird first season for Kalen DeBoer at Alabama. Good: Beat Georgia, LSU Bad: Lost 3 games, should miss playoff Ugly: He'll never have a more talented roster than this
- During a disagreement, Derek Mason told Bryan Harsin, "I've been a head coach in this league longer than you have." Harsin replied, "Oh, you mean at Vanderbilt?" Read @nwilborn19 story on Bryan Harsin's short time in Auburn full of drama:
- BREAKING: Georgia QB Jaden Rashada is suing Florida head coach Billy Napier and top Gators booster Hugh Hathcock for fraud, among other allegations, over failed $13.85 million NIL deal. Story here: cbssports.com/college-footba…
