there are things that never change at Alabama

Miami (Ohio) Head Coach Claims Alabama Illegally Recruited Its Kicker | Rocky Top Insider

Miami (Ohio) head coach Chuck Martin claims that Alabama and Kalen DeBoer illegally recruited its kicker in the transfer portal.

www.rockytopinsider.com

Miami (Ohio) head coach Chuck Martin made his feeling known on the topic Thursday morning when he accused Alabama of tampering with Nicholson and encouraging him to get into the transfer portal.

“You media people, it’s all pretend,” Martin said in an interview with Miami’s in house media. “No. Alabama stole our kicker. They illegally recruited our kicker and stole him from us. That’s a fact. But we live in this La La world like hey let’s not talk reality. Everyone knows what’s going on so Alabama stole our kicker. A couple other schools tried to steal him.”

I saw that on Dave Hooker’s show. I don’t like the attitude that rules don’t matter simply because someone else isn’t going to follow them.

Tampering rules exist for the benefit of the students so that they can focus on their studies and their sport without worrying about addressing outside noise constantly.

That being said, I don’t know how tampering applies to contacting a player’s agent during the season.

Warren Nolan predictions. Think TAMU gets a W, Vandy get the only SEC L Saturday

That wasn’t even a thing in 1990.

It wasn’t law that you had to strap in.. you could ride in the back up a pickup without breaking the law even. Better times.

Dawgs' Robinson II likely out; no word on Etienne

Injured Georgia tailback Roderick Robinson II will likely miss Saturday's game vs. No. 14 Clemson, while coach Kirby Smart won't say if Trevor Etienne will play.

www.espn.com

Georgia coach Kirby Smart isn't ready to say whether Florida transfer Trevor Etienne will be available to play in Saturday's opener against No. 14 Clemson, but the No. 1 Bulldogs know they probably won't have at least one of their top running backs.

Tech's W paying dividends, withdrawal from Georgia's recruiting class

Ga. Tech lands DL Garrett after UGA decommit

Four-star defensive tackle Christian Garrett, who decommitted from Georgia, has pledged to join Georgia Tech's rising class for 2025, it was announced.

[Rushin Orange Collusion]

So failure to show up to court? Kind of serious, but I sympathize with a guy over a seatbelt citation. That is one of those government overreach laws.

Don’t you know Big Brother has our best interests at heart!

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Was probably back at dorm studying and forgot about the court date.

 

[LouderVol]

I think this shows how far we have come. In the past any of our players who transferred out because of playing time had to go down to at least the G5 schools, or lower, to find playing time. Now they are staying in the SEC. granted its a lower level SEC school, but still a big change in the way it was.

Agree. Talent is much better. Hated to see Nichols leave but understand his position.

 

[Volfan76]

Most states adopted seatbelt laws in the 80’s. The rest followed suit in the 90’s.

They didn't really "adopt" the laws. They were forced to accept the laws under the threat of losing federal funding.

If you want a glaring example of the new era of college sports:

TJ Finley has been announced as Western Kentucky's starting QB for Saturday's game at Alabama. It will be Finley's third start against the Tide, each one for a different school. Finley started for LSU in 2020 and Auburn in 2021. He's a sixth-year senior at his 4th school having transferred from Texas State earlier this year.

My eyes got as big as saucers when I saw that on twitter. I was like "TJ FINLEY!?!?!!?!"

Does Clemson even have a chance?

I'm for the meteor.

I’ll bet his transcript is an interesting read.

My first car was a 65 mustang with no seatbelts from the factory. Dad had to install them.

The move from Texas St to Western Kentucky doesn't make much sense. It isn't really a step up in competition level, the teams are at about an equal level within their own conference, and he was the starter/played pretty well there last year.
