Yesterday in the comments, and later on Twitter, I said Texas is the only one who really threatened me as an Alabama supporter for Marshall's services.
Sources told Yahoo Sports that Marshall already had signaled Alabama not to waste its energy putting together a whopper offer for his services, because he had his eyes on Texas. So this conceivably could be a short courtship – if anything can get done simply in Austin.
No way to sugarcoat this one, gals and guys...Toddammit, this sucks.The only consolation is that we will, may, hopefully might throw OODLES at Rick Barnes, and, in a just universe, Alabama beats Texas for a basketball championship.
