WVU's Rodriguez is Alabama-bound

The Grant Town guy with the down-home, West Virginia euphemisms, the Mountaineers' alum with the wit about jumping off the Westover Bridge, the patent-holder and purveyor of the modern spread offense, the coach with the ballcap, steely sideline demeanor and red-and-green wristbands waving in plays just before the snap -- you can color him gone.

I don't know anything about WVU's facilities, but I understand that 'Bama's aren't exactly SEC quality these days...

Cha Ching!

Mo Money, Mo Money, Mo Money!

How long will Auburn be the #1 team in Alabama now that big money Rich is on his way?

:roadrunner:

Pat White and Steve Slayton will struggle to adjust to a pro style offense next year.

Will BSL's head explode if/when Rodriguez bolts for 'Bama?

Will BSL's head explode if/when Rodriguez bolts for 'Bama?

The question is: "From how far will the explosion be heard?"

Why do you say that?

Bama has spent over 100 million dollars on facilities and stadium renovations.

I don't see how they couldn't be SEC quality.
