How I leaned to stop worrying and love the Tide, NCAA 2013

Well, slightly interesting first week.

Tide fans be worried. They didn't look impressive.

I predict that Manziel will suffer a season-ending injury in the next 3 weeks (probably versus Bama). Every defensive player is going to be gunning for him. It'll be worth an ejection from a game to put a hit on him. I'm not condoning it, just predicting it.

Another prediction, after Bama beats A&M on Sept 14, and Texas beats Ole Miss resoundingly, Texas breaks into the Top 10.

Making FAMU play Ohio State on the round was tantamount to suicide.

New prediction for Texas.

They lose vs Oklahoma, and fail to even make a bowl game. Texas alumni call for Mack Brown's head, and he's fired before a single BCS bowl game is played. Texas loosens the purse strings and buys Saban from Alabama around April or May. They will have to pay Brown a pretty penny to buy his contract, and pay even more to Alabama to buy out Saban's contract. Then, they'll hire Saban at a record $7+ million/year.

Additionally, they will give Saban pretty much free reign over the entire football program for at least 5 years, to do whatever it takes to rebuild the program.

For most of the first half of the 2000's, all you heard about was Texas's recruiting. They always had the first or second best recruiting class. I haven't heard a peep about their recruiting since 2008.
