I cancelled from Rivals 9 months ago and I still get their texts. Every former member seems to keep receiving Rivals' texts.

The higher ups have discussed this and it's likely to happen. Although a date has not been set. Will update you as it draws near.

You think you might get Saban to give you an early 2012 depth chart at the next presser? I'd like to see what he's thinking at this point.

I agree. Text alerts are #1 on my list.
Those 600600 texts trigger the release of some kinda uber-happy chemical in my brain.

Our guys are going to get text alerts, rosters and depth charts, but the rest of 2012 is about building the next decade of our industry. If you guys could only peak in the hangers of Area 51. It's Kenny Powers big!

In that case, Lucky, can you do something about that barner running TBB?

Please be sure that people using SouthernLinc can receive texts. That was a problem with the other site. Thanks.

You could always just do an alert-specific twitter that people could follow via text message. :o)

The only reason I am not cancelling my rivals after 5 years is the text messaging. I do not know how to follow twitter and I am not sure I even want to. I don't understand all that lingo. I do understand "____________ has announced his decision to attend the University of Alabama". I am thinking about going month to month on rivals rather than yearly until 247 get's it working.
