  1. Yeah he actually cashed in, and got the hell out. He knew he was done once Bama hired Saban. He will probably be holding his fingers up going into the stadium this weekend.

  2. Yeah I was wondering what moron wrote that crap. Tubby ended his career at Barnietown with the worse arse whippin’ of his life! Bama 36 – Barnies 0! RTR!
