In case you live under a rock and/or just don't pay attention at all, a lot happened last night of which you should probably be aware. First and foremost, Nick Saban signed a new extension at Alabama that will pay him something like $7 million a season. That means he'll get roughly a million dollars for every conference win, should he do well. UT fans, after being told for weeks they were hot in pursuit of Saban, found out about that as everyone else did, then had to face down the prospect of far-from-beloved coach Mack Brown staying another year. It was delicious. Read this twitter search about Chip Brown (the OB reporter, not the abusive rapper) if you don't believe me. We heard everything possible about this story last night from the UT faithful, including that UT chose Brown over Saban but could have totally had him (yeah, right), Brown pushed off his decision intentionally to spite Texas, Chip Brown, and/or Saban, and my personal favorite: Saban could still come and this isn't really an impediment at all because WE'RE TEXAS.
Saban isn't coming. Brown may still resign, nobody has any idea on that, but I do find it hilarious that people still take at face value speculation about this situation stemming from those same reporters/sources who have proven themselves to be wrong! All this stuff about Harbaugh, Jimbo Fisher, Mike Tomlin, it all comes from the same ridiculous places! It's incredible to watch. It really is.

Apparently, a news station in San Antonio took this as a real quote and sourced me on it for their 10 PM broadcast. That's what I was told on twitter.
