Why does your phone autocorrect to the Capital of Yemen? You sure you're Irish?

Pro Tip: if no one has responded to the thread (including you) you can change the Subject. Once you responded to yourself it became locked.

Sanaa (Arabic: , an [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Arabic][sna][/url], Yemeni Arabic: [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Arabic][sn][/url]), also spelled Sanaa or Sana, is the largest city in Yemen and the centre of Sanaa Governorate.

Exactly.

So much for the "build and move CEO" BS.

So you're telling me that Mack refused to allow Saban to win a MNC with "his players," so he stuck around another year and went 8-5 with those SAME PLAYERS in the crappiest conference in the country? Then, after Mack was fired, Saban was no longer interested because of a press leak???



Or... maybe... juuuust maybe, Saban and Sexton milked that situation for all it was worth to pry a fat raise out of Alabama. Probably just a coincidence that he did, indeed, receive a huge bump in pay and incentives in 2012/2013 which just happens to line up nicely with these supposed events.

Hmmmmmm...

Doesn't seem like Tom Hicks ego will even allow him to acknowledge he and tu got played. They still think tu was more desirable than Bama even after multiple championships.

This is Colt McCoy's fault for faking an injury.

Tom Hicks was maybe the worst owner in Texas Rangers history...and that's saying something.

Tom Hicks is one of the most repugnant human beings to ever crawl outta the primordial soup. And that's saying something.

His mode of operation was to buy companies with other people's money - squeeze that company for all it's worth to pay back the loan - then get what you could for the leftover company at the end.

He destroyed everything he touched - he built nothing. He's a really terrible person.

Just a typical manifestation of the ****ty sip culture that has to constantly lie to itself about its own greatness.

He wasn't worried about Bear Bryant. He was worried he would be associated with a place that allowed Cleve Bryant to stay for so long.

Where the hell did this come from, and why is tu making an effort to bring it up.

It's like a petulant child not getting enough attention, screaming to the media "look at me!"

So...does this mean R.C. Could have vetoed the hiring of Fran? Why didn't Sumlin veto his own firing/the hiring of Fisher?

By the way, this is all bs. The rumors of Texas getting Saban all happened after the 2013 season. Not 2012.
