[Tracy Estes @bytracyestes]

Obviously, this came from someone who has no experience wearing the crown

[Mason @BamaBunker]

Do this a couple more times and you can call this little brother. You’re not used to this “winning” thing and will hold on to this until 2031 I’m sure

[Tracy Estes @bytracyestes]

National title contender?
I’ve never seen a school as desperate to be relevant. Forget the rules. Forget sportsmanship. We will write a check and buy one, if at all possible.
Don’t point fingers at schools in the past. No one has ever been this blatant in cheating.

[Ben Golan @BenjaminGolan]

Every single person that is tweeting “Texas Tech has ruined college sports” is going to watch all the college football games this fall, including Sorsby’s debut.

They don’t actually believe TTU has ruined anything, they are just upset a national title contender got better today.

[Tracy Estes @bytracyestes]

Great comment! Sounds like one I would make. But no, he was a University of Alabama graduate as well.

[Ross Peterson @RossPeterson_]

@bytracyestes Kinda joking here... but was the second judge an Auburn grad?

[Tracy Estes @bytracyestes]

It was an Alabama judge who first issued the temporary restraining order in his favor. But it was another Alabama judge who overruled the temporary restraining order and ended his career.
I’m an avid Alabama fan, but I never wanted to see him return for the sake of the game.

[Ross Peterson @RossPeterson_]

@bytracyestes I see your point. I'm sorry I missed it. I could've used one of those other examples, but Bediako (unfortunately) was the first I thought of. I'm in Iowa and away from the Alabama situation, so I can now clearly see what you were trying to emphasize. Thanks for the clarification!

[Tracy Estes @bytracyestes]

Would never debate this point. That evidence has been clearly documented. But players who have actually played in the NBA are now playing or on the roster for other universities. I am still be opposed to Bediako playing. I’m nostalgic.

[Ross Peterson @RossPeterson_]

@bytracyestes Correct. After playing professionally. He played in the G League for THREE YEARS. 37 games as a PRO. Then played for Alabama in the NCAA. For five games.

[Tracy Estes @bytracyestes]

Bediako played five games and a local judge sent him home.

[Ross Peterson @RossPeterson_]

You can now gamble on your team (Sorsby) be a professional in your sport (Bediako) and never attend class (Beck) and still play in the NCAA. Wild.

[Tracy Estes @bytracyestes]

Unless you are Alabama.
A local judge ruled against Bediako.

[Quentin @Qtime07]

So a Mississippi judge grants Chambliss another year because he had tonsillitis (give me a break) and then a Texas judge grants sorsbey another year for betting on his team. Hell just find a local judge and you can do WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT. @NCAA

[Tracy Estes @bytracyestes]

The athletic director can continue to fool himself, but no one else believes it.

[Pete Nakos @PeteNakos]

Texas Tech AD Kirby Hocutt: “As we have said before, we do not believe that the circumstances of Brendan’s case warranted permanent ineligibility. As he returns to our football program, we remain committed to supporting Brendan's recovery and ensuring his compliance with the court’s order. A comprehensive support structure, including clinical care, monitoring, and compliance checks, will remain fully in place for the duration of Brendan’s time as a student at Texas Tech.”

[Tracy Estes @bytracyestes]

But Alabama’s injunction was overturned. I was never in favor of playing Bediako, but it seems everyone else is allowed to do so with their players.

[Stewart Mandel @slmandel]

The Brendan Sorsby decision merited our first emergency podcast in a long time.

Count the titles baby!

[Austin Parks @Negavol4ever]

I will never get over the fact that these bum bammers always sing a song celebrating the state of Tennessee. buncha try-hards.

My worst day in Tennessee will always be better than your best day in Alabama.

Go Damn Vols

[Tracy Estes @bytracyestes]

I believe Iowa pulled him away from Alabama before he returned to Tuscaloosa. Seemed to have forgotten that part.

[Michael Borkey @MichaelBorkey]

Iowa had a player on campus for months and YOU took him.

[Tracy Estes @bytracyestes]

He never said that.

[Tracy Estes @bytracyestes]

Nothing would make me happier if persons like you were correct. But we’re about to lose the sport.

[Evie Van Pelt @OleMissEvie]

@bytracyestes lol. Because the Ole Miss QB gets to play another season and is a top Heisman candidate?

[Tracy Estes @bytracyestes]

He’s trying to save the sport!

[DNP Sports @notthefakeDNP]

“I miss the days when you could buy a recruit with a Kia Sportage. Now, it’s not fair because we no longer have an advantage!”

[Tracy Estes @bytracyestes]

Jealous

[Evie Van Pelt @OleMissEvie]

Trinidad is playing next year, Nick, because the NCAA was arbitrary and wrong--much less because he had ONLY played three actual seasons of college football, as the judge recognized. This wasn't the system or CFB running amok--this was the NCAA unfairly penalizing an athlete and the athlete seeking legal remedy.

And while we are at it, does anyone out there think Saban would have done anything other than sue for that final year of eligibility had Trinidad been his QB? Oh, wait, he probably wouldn't have had to because under the same exact set of circumstances, the NCAA would have likely ruled him eligible to begin with if he were at Alabama.

Growing weary of Saban's "testimony."

🚨 BREAKING: The return of Jesus Christ is near. Accept Jesus Christ today as your Lord and Personal Saviour. Share this message because someone needs this reminder.

Hebrews 9:28: "so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him."

God Bless you

[Tracy Estes @bytracyestes]

One major difference between the two. All three of those years resulted in national championships for Alabama. Only one resulted in a national championship Auburn.

[The Next Round @NextRoundLive]

SEC Surprising Fact: Alabama & Auburn have the most unbeaten seasons in the SEC since 1990 (3)

Alabama: 1992, 2009, 2020
Auburn: 1993, 2004, 2010

[Tracy Estes @bytracyestes]

Tell the different circumstances, Kevin.

[Kevin Scarbinsky @KevinScarbinsky]

Nick Saban spent 17 years doing everything in his power to unlevel the playing field to build his @AlabamaFTBL dynasty. He did the most with the most, and no one's done it better. Is he the right person to call for parity in college football?
