TAMU was inside the 5 to win the game. Ole Miss, LSU, and Miss State have a chance against bama.
A lot of those guys paychecks dried up.(hence Henry to Bama).Even with the NIL deals we couldn’t keep them anyway with the NCAA breathing down our necks.He may have been one of the players forced to leave due to the NCAA investigation, but since Heupel tried to convince him to stay I don’t think that was the case.
You are correct. Heupel definitely wanted him to stay he has also commented that wasn't a realistic possibility since he dropped out of school and wasn't with the team. His decision was definitely his on choice. One could bring up Alvin Kamara but he was kicked off Alabama so really not a comparable situation.He may have been one of the players forced to leave due to the NCAA investigation, but since Heupel tried to convince him to stay I don’t think that was the case.
It's not so much the leaving, it's the crap afterward.Now, I'm not defending HT, but, was leaving UT his idea? Didn't he have hands on experience with gifting recruits? (Please correct me if I'm wrong). I speculate he left us by "request". His biggest crime may have been supporting his (bad) coach by doing things that are legal now.
Beginning of the end?Yeh if they don't make some major adjustments, they probably will lose again. Especially now that they don't feel like some magical armor is protecting them from asskickings . I just can't see them not improving on defense after this. Or they could just spiral . I doubt it though.
I don't think this interview has been posted. At the 1:44 mark Henry is asked if this is a hard one for him. Fighting back tears, his reply: "We'll see them again. We'll see them again."
