IT'S SPRING AGAAAAIINN...

Alabama football is the ultimate conundrum. Not much talented depth, i.e the starters are OK but the backups couldn’t play dead in a western, really mediocre coaching staff, starting at the top, and generally retread or never-was assistants devoid of imagination and creativity, yet somehow they won 10 games last year.

My suspicion is that last year was their Waterloo for a couple years. With no Prothro(he’s never playing again, sadly), Croyle, Demeco Ryans, secondary losses, I frankly expect the Tide to be below .500 this year and for Auburn to achieve One for the Thumb and start on the path to Fear the Zipper this year

31-3,

Exactly, THC.

By SEC standards, the front part of Bama’s schedule was fairly easy. They missed Georgia and got Tennessee and Florida at home. This made people think Bama was better than they actually were and when they had to play good teams like LSU and Auburn, they real Tide showed up.

Forget that, the real Tide showed up in games against Ole Miss (3-8) and Tennessee (5-6) that they had to win with last second field goals. They beat MSU (3-8) by a score of 17-0 that did not include an offensive TD.

I don’t know how much Prothro had to do with their stomping of UF, but the post-Prothro Tide never played a game remotely close to the way they played that day against Florida. I am also still wondering how they won 10 games, but I think we’ll get a better idea of where they stand this year, which shouldn’t be nearly as pretty.

If Prothro had been healthy we may have seen a different outcome in the LSU game which went to overtime. But the Auburn game was an all out beating. Other than that I don’t want to hear shit from anyone else. Bama beat the brakes off UF and out played an SEC schedule that everyone else plays in one year or another.

Shula is not the best coach in the world but as a BUC’s fan I do remember that he was fired in Hawii at the PRO BOWL.
 
Also UF fans probably don’t remember Kines as Linebackers coach for FSU.Those were the years when Florida could’t beat the Crimenoles in a game of dodgeball.

Auburn Fan,

So now y’all are ordering rings for beating Alabama? I guess that’s the next logical step after the ol’ “Co-Sec West Champs” ring and the “Eufaula Tribune National Champs” ring?

What I still can’t understand is why people continue to treat Prothro’s injury as the moment at which the clock suddenly struck 12 for Alabama and their offense turned back into a pumpkin — it wasn’t like they were a powerhouse even before the Florida ass-pounding. They rang up a pretty mediocre 26 points on a godawful MTSU defense in the opener (after being only 2 ahead of the Blue Whatevers at halftime); had to pull a second-half comeback against USM; dropped 37 on a South Carolina team whose run defense couldn’t stop the Golden Girls; and put only 24 on an Arkansas team that had given up 70 the previous week.

Not horrible performances, certainly, but let’s not kid ourselves that the dropoff from the first half of the Tide’s season to the second was all that monumental. We only think it was because of their 31-3 Abu Ghraib prison raping of a Florida squad that also hadn’t done nearly as well up to that point as people thought.

Had Prothro still been around over the latter half of the season, he might’ve helped punch up Bama’s offensive numbers to the point of respectability against Ole Miss and MSU, but the only way he would’ve really turned around Bama’s fortunes against LSU and Auburn is if he gained 75 pounds and learned to play offensive line. The problem in those games wasn’t a dearth of capable receivers, it was Croyle either running for his life or getting dropped like a sack of potatoes every other play.

And despite all of this…10-2. Astounding when you look back on it.

I am an Alabama fan, and sadly I agree with the first post on this thread. The schedule is probably a little too easy for the team to be below .500, but frankly 7-4 or 6-5 (and a berth in the Shreveport weedwaker bowl or Music City Bowl Nashville bowl officials will choose a well-followed Alabama team over more deserving bowl canidates) seem to be the most likely scenarios. The defense won’t be as good as last year, but will definitely be a better-than average SEC defense. Terrence Jones ( a very capable replacement for DeMeco Ryans) will join Juwan Simpson as OLB, the problem will be finding a mlb to replace Freddie Roach by far the most underated player on the entire team last year-much less the defense. The DL can be as good as last years, and Simeon Castille and Ramzee Robinson could very well turn out to be the best cornerback combination in the conference.

The horror comes when you look at the Shula and Dave Rader’s offense. Shula is in the process of getting a contract he doesn’t deserve. Admittedly even as an Alabama fan, I got sick of the state-wide beatle-like mania that surrounded Brodie Croyle this year—but the fact is that he is a talented, gutsy quarterback with a fucking golden rifle for an arm, and if he hadn’t blown out his knee against Western Carolina in 2004, Shula could very well be coming off two 9 or 10 win seasons in a row- (the 2004 team lost 4 close games with Spencer Pennington in relief). Now you’ve got virtually no experience at qb, a shakey offensive line, and a host of highly-recruited wide receivers who drop more balls than they catch. The only bright spot is the Ken Darby and FB Leron McClain. If you thought the offense was bad the second half of last season—just get ready—it will be even worse this year.
The sad part is that Alabama has signed to good recruiting classes back to back and Shula could very well get into a pattern of 7-5, 8-4 seasons prolonging his tenure for another 3-4 years.
Shula is not a good coach from a schematic standpoint- his only hope is surrounding himself with solid coordinators (a-la Tuberville) and letting them coach. Ultimately Alabama’s only hope with Shula is that he fires Rader (or some fool hires Rader away as a head coach—Rice almost did this off season) outiside of that —to borrow from a thread earlier in the week Alabama will likely be the Ga Tech of SEC football until a new AD (not Mal Moore) gets the guts to cut Shula loose.

Matt…step away from the ledge. It never ceases to amaze me how some people can look at a 10-2 season and see nothing but gloom and doom. None of the Bama Haters last year would have predicted a 10-2 season. After all we had a QB who was fragile as glass, an O-line with no experience except at center, and a starting RB and FB whose sucessful return from injuries was being questioned. On Defense we had returning starters but no depth, and Kines as DC. I think we’ll be hard pressed in 2006 to repeat last years sucess but a solid foundation is being layed for 2007 and beyond.

you guys maybe should have titled this “it’s spring agaaaaaaiiiinnn…time for all the bama haters to come out of the fucking woodwork.”

seriously auburn fans, you really shouldn’t be talking about “fear the thumb” unless you mean “fear the stench produced by our thumb since it’s been up our collective asses for months now”, especially since the idea of having to play GEORGIA FUCKING TECH again causes tuberville to piss his pants and curl up in a ball under his bed for three days.

and what’s that about a frontloaded schedule of cupcakes? after the embarassing display against ga tech, didn’t your pansy schedule line up like this?:
mississippie state (fear the croom!)
d-1aa western kentucky (fear the hilltoppers!)
ball state (fear the cardinals, no, not the ones who’s coach you tried to hire in the dark of the night, the shitty ones)

Bama scheduled some cupcakes while under probation, but now that we’re out we’re stepping up and scheduling series with SEC killers (no, wait, only auburn killers) like georgia tech and a one off with florida state while you jackasses think you deserve a cookie for for manning up enough to schedule 1A buffalo instead of the carson-newman women’s soccer team like you’d hoped.

10-2, and we won our bowl.
9-3, and “the real auburn” showed up against wisconsin.

Well, Orson hit the nail on the head — in spite of the offensive ineptitude, they still went 10-2, which says something. It says that if you can develop a year-in-year-out powerful defense, which Bama looks like they’re doing, then you don’t necessarily need Southern Cal’s numbers (or even FSU’s numbers) on offense to be a consistent winner. I mean, hell, look at Georgia. I love David Greene, love Musa Smith, love Leonard Pope, etc., but let’s face it, the offense isn’t the reason they’re riding a string of four straight double-digit-win seasons. Alabama will probably struggle in ‘06 but if their defense doesn’t show too big of a dropoff, their fans should remain reasonably optimistic about where the team is headed.

Just a quick point of clarification on comment 6, I believe Joe Kines was hired as LB coach at FSU in January 2000 and coached there during the 2000, 2001, and 2002 seasons before Kevin Steele came on in 2003. UF was 1-2 against FSU in those games, including a 37-13 game which was not as close as the score would indicate in 2003 (the 2002 game was year one of the dark days between Spurrier and Meyer when the beloved gators were coached by some guy that I choose not to remember.) Indeed, Joe Kines was run out of Tallahassee, in his 2001 and 2002 seasons, FSU gave up 304 and 301 points on the year, the second and third worst performance ever from a Bobby Bowden era FSU defense. After he left, FSU went back down to a more FSU-like 217 points a game in 2003 and 169 in 2004. (Although some might argue that the abnormal 2001 and 2002 seasons were the result of FSU D Coordinator Mickey Andrews’ grief after the closing of his ill-fated BBQ restaurant.)

All that said, the Bama defense under Kines is a thing of beauty that plays defense the way it should be played: get to the ball quickly and be very angry when you get there. (For contrast, please see UF 2001 defense centered around the Jon Hoke double zone garbage.) All credit is due Kines, however, his success at Bama could/would not have been predicted based on his years in Tallahassee.

I’ll take back my comments on the Tide and wait to see what they do this fall before pronouncing them dead yet. I remember last year at this time, just about everyone was proclaiming AU to be dead in the water after losing two RBs to the first 5 picks of the draft and a QB in the first round (drafted way too highly I might add, Gibbs will forever regret this pick).

Anyway, my point is that AU went out and was one awful game by Cox (4 INTs against GT) and an awful kicking night (5 missed FGs against LSU) from making a trip to the Sugar (We’re undefeated and still No. 3) Bowl against WVU for a second straight season. Most were predicting 7-5 or 6-6 for the Tigers, so I’ll wait and see before crucifying Bama.

Here’s the only prediction on the SEC West that I’ll make at this point. We’ll be playing the Egg Bowl against MSU for 5th in the West for a third straight year.

Are you from Ole Miss or Auburn?
Assclown

Never been even close to pulling for AU, just using them as an example of how I’ve been wrong about teams before.

Just out of curiosity, what about my post makes me an ass clown to you? Is it that I said something positive about AU’s season last year and as a Bama fan, you just simply can’t comprehend that? I’d be careful. If you push me too far, I may start making jokes about Dale Earnhardt.

I could care less about NeckCAR but you used the term WE in your AU speach. And by the way how many Black guys do you know that watch racing? FI

When I said “WE” when referring to Auburn, I used it in the same fashion as I would if I had called your school the Alabama “We’re still living off a dead guy” Crimson Tide. See, it doesn’t make me an Alabama fan to use “WE” there.

You have to admit that it would’ve been one heck of a story for AU to go undefeated 2 years in a row and get shut out of national title contention both times.

Aside from the jabs, the whole point of my original post was to say that I won’t completely count Alabama dead this fall unless it happens, b/c I made that mistake last year in expecting Auburn to fall off dramatically.

Amazing, amazing. Not one mention from the Bammers in this whole thread about how Tennessee is causing all of their problems. Looks like those lunatics are fading back letting the more traditional Auburn haters come to the front of the line.

I agree btw – Shula’s time is limited. Old Kines has this routine down – he’s historically had a “great” defense one year followed by several defenses with more holes than a sponge resulting in his departure and hiring by another desparate SEC HC.

I love all the mindless speculation. No one — no one — will have any idea what will happen until the big uglies start slappin’ (I’m talking about O-linemen here, guys. Get your minds out of the gutter). All I know is this:
1. The O-line will be more experienced, plus superpimp Andre Smith
2. The defensive evil genius will still be there.
3. JPW is actually a solid quarterback.
4. The receivers are older, and invested in Stick ‘Em.
5. Ken Darby is back.
6. Jimmy Johns isn’t just a great sandwich place, he’s scaring the Bama defense at running back.

Whether that’ll mean five wins or 13, I don’t know. A lot can happen in spring practice, and a Florida player may do a drive-by on practice with his assault rifle, so you never know.

The ‘05 season is a tribute to the defense Alabama had. Shula’s philosophy is building for the long haul, not the get-rich-quick schemes of Coaches Fraud and Price of “Destiny.”

Prothro’s injury hurt in so many different ways (rimshot), but the bigger injury in ‘05 was losing Closner, the senior starting center. My only significant gripe about Coach Shula is that he’s usually conservative and methodical on playcalling. However, I do remember quite a few “bombs” Croyle threw that didn’t connect, so his conservative reputation could change if the long passes had been actually caught or thrown accurately. It remains to be seen whether his “conservative” offensive strategy is because of the talent situation he inherited or mostly his offensive mindset.

The bottom line is that Alabama will have a weaker defense and a more potent offense in ’06. Darby will pass Alexander in the record books his senior season.

Roll Tide, bitches.

Thanks….. some times I can repress my feelings for UT long enough to think about other things. That is proof that UT fans think the world resolves around them.

By the way this is two years in a row that WE have finished in the top 2 in points allowed defense.
 
Reb ease up on the caffine you a little to eager to appoligize, put up a fight.

An Ole Miss fan attempting to suggest that UA supporters are disproportionately NASCAR fans—I’ve absolutely seen it all.

Perhaps you’re unaware of the Alabama state motto: Thank God for Mississippi.

Anyone who uses the words “Alabama” and “potent offense” in the same sentence immediately loses all credibility. Last year, you were a Brodie Croyle injury away from being Mississippi State Bad™ on offense. What have you seen to make you think you will be improved without him next year?

Darby is good (and Johns will be too), but you can’t be one-dimensional in the SEC and expect to win football games. You need a QB.

Never apologized. Just thought I needed to clarify my original post since the argument seemed to get off the subject.

MSR: As for suggesting Ole Miss fans are bigger into NASCAR than Bama fans, have you ever been to Oxford? From your comments, I doubt it. If you had, you’d know that snobs as a collective group aren’t into NASCAR.

Hey Reb -

I’ve been to Oxford many times. Arguing with Alabama/Auburn fans over who has more/fewer NASCAR fans is like two turds arguing over who smells better. There’s plenty of camo and Tony Stewart hats in the stands on a cold day in Vaught-Doublewide.

The “snobbiness” of your students is a pathetic attempt to mask what you really are: a bunch of punk little Mississippi rednecks.

I haven’t missed a game at the Vaught since I was too young to remember, and I can honestly say that I can’t remember ever seeing many if any in camo or NASCAR attire wandering around the Grove except maybe the occasional opposing fans. I’m sure that element finds its way into the stadium somewhere. I’ve just never been around it. It is the South, so we do have our rednecks, but you don’t really see that element at the football games. For the most part they clean up on Saturdays.

Yeah, y’all clean up real good.

My father-in-law is a Reb season ticket holder. In all the years I’ve known him, the only games he’s missed down there is when he’d rather watch the occasional Saturday night NASCAR race.

sorry about the goofed-up message. I was trying to link this site:

I said we had our share of rednecks and that they clean up on Saturdays…for the most part. Those guys do their own thing, which is great for them and they enjoy it, but you and I both know they aren’t the norm at Ole Miss games. I’m done arguing though, b/c I know I won’t change your mind. If you haven’t yet, I hope you do make it down to Oxford at some point for the full game day experience, tailgating and all. It’s pretty unique.

BUNCH OF REDNECKS…….Snob’s????
If there was a fire the whole trailer park may burn.

There may be more NASCAR fans at Alabama games than Ole Miss games — but that’s because there are more fans at Alabama games than Ole Miss games.

Seriously, how in the living hell did Joe Kines become a competent defensive coach?

Apparently, the devil grew tired of the Peach State in his soul searching and took a weekend side trip to Tuscaloosa. Of course, Kines was slow to read and react when the contract for his soul was presented to him. He thought he was getting the #1 defense when all he really got was #11.

I may be the only who remembers that Joe Kines and Mickey Andrews were the primary henchmen of Charley Pell’s rather illicit program (Hey, Wilber Marshall never came cheap baby). Too hear Corso et. al swoon over these guys turns my stomach (Andrews’ “Cool Hand Luke” demeanor surely earned him a shot on the Top 10 Hated figures). Once a cheat, always a cheat (see, Holtz, Lou).

Somehow the blantant NCAA violations of these two cats has never merited a follow up investigation by the NCAA (Knoxville/Nashville/Atlanta eager young sportswriters looking to add to your clips, consider this your inviation). Just remember that the early 1980s Gator ticket director was “just following orders”.

Whoever the butthead is that mentioned Kines as the coach for FSU neglected to mention or doesn’t know that Kines was the defensive coordinator under Charley Pell at Florida.

Damn, that pic looked more like a taller, non-lisping version of Lou Holtz.

Wow, after reading Todd’s post, you’d think that the upcoming bama schedule would be full of NFL teams— NFL playoff teams, no less. But that’s not quite true; let’s look at the non-conference slate of “killers” that the Tide has lined up:

Hawaii
Louisiana Monroe
Duke
Florida International

Nobody whose team schedules those teams is in any position to make fun of another team’s schedule.

Hey SECChris, do not I repeat do not present Bama Fan with facts. They don’t apply to them, and if they do, Phil Fulmer had something to do with it.

Auburn Fan – Apparently facts aren’t your strong suit either. When did I say this years non-con schedule was a killer? Cause I didn’t. I mockingly called Ga. Tech an SEC killer (no, wait, just an auburn killer), which we manned up enough to schedule a series with while Tuberville and Auburn ran cowering to the safety of 1AA opponents after getting their asses beat by the same Ga. Tech. Auburn’s too scared to play 1A ball the whole season, not because they were on NCAA probation and needed the sugar boost a cupcake opponent gives your win record. Now that we’re off probation we’re scheduling a series with Ga. Tech and a one off with FSU while you jackasses are expecting praise for scheduling Buffalo instead of playing high school teams and wishing you could quit the SEC and join the Southern Conference and REALLY heat up that rivalry with The Citadel.

Hey Todd,

I heard Shula got an extension today. Tell all your Bama Buddies, congratulations from the Auburn Family. Trust us, we’re happier than you all are. Our only sadness was that it wasn’t a Lifetime Contract.

Now we just want to know if Rader gets to stay longer as well. If that’s the case I may not go to work Monday, as I’ll declare it a holiday and get drunk on Beast Light and light a few farts in jublilation.

The difference in our programs right now:

Bama fans do everything they can do on the internet to “get rid of our coach”(Tubs to LSU, Tubs to Dallas Cowboys,Tubs to Miami)

Auburn fans hope Shula stays there forever.

Auburn Fan – I want Tuby to stay on the plains. He’s quickly getting exposed as the inept, assistant’s spotlight stealing coach he really is. Remember how Gene Chizik leaving was okay cause Tuby was a defensive guy and could take up the slack? What was his great “defensive genius” coaching achievement this season? Blitz Croyle when all season long the O-line was suspect, even with Closner? He figured out what every other team that played us already knew? And then blew it against Wisconsin? Tell the president down there to keep the private jet engines running so after he settles back into the mediocrity he’s capable of they can fly off, get embarassed, and then pay him another ass load of money to keep him around.

Or we could go through 3 coaches in one off-season…one that didn’t step foot on the practice field, who then proceeds to get caught with a stripper in a hotel room. Have ESPN do a special on the stripper, and completely embarrass our university and state as a whole (thanks)…get beat by your biggest rival 4 out of 5 times, and not give a shit because your that cocky…have fun sucking, and not thinking you do.

Hey Todd, CC me on the memo when Shula wins multiple Coach of the Year awards including the ‘coveted’ Bear Bryant Coach of the Year award, or when he can go 5 consecutive seasons without being demoted or fired. Or when his team wins 20+ games in a row, or when he finishes higher than 3rd in the SEC West. And as awful as Auburn played against Wisconsin, AU still had a top 15-20 defense this season. Of course we also had a top 10-15 offense as well. Let me know when your coach can lead a team to score an offensive touchdown against Mississippi State. Let me know when you won’t need a miracle, once in a decade catch to spur a comeback against a Southern Miss team that is living permanently in hotels. Let me know when your ‘leadership’ has the good sense to not let their ‘commodities’ receive treatment from someone with the track record of Doc’ Fowler. Let me know when you stop making commercials comparing yourself academically to Harvard University. Let me know when you stop scheduling games against Hawaii in the last game of the season as a FU to the NCAA for preventing you from being in a bowl.

Let me know all these things.

Cc me when those things happen.

Auburn Fan – start check your inbox starting nov 18.

Todd,

You’re too delusional to even talk with anymore.

auburn fan – fear the middle finger.

Todd,
I’ll be sure to let Buffalo know that they’re Div. 1-AA; I’m sure it will come as quite a shock to them. (Hint: they’re in the MAC, the same conference that is home to Northern Illinois… you know, “bama killer” Northern Illinois.)

As for WHY Buffalo is on the Auburn schedule, it’s because they were a replacement game; some other team on the Auburn schedule had scheduled two games on the same day, and had to drop one. (I hear Auburn tried to replace them with a really crappy team, but Hawaii, LAMO, Duke and Florida International had no openings.)

SECChris,

I say again, do not barrage Bama Fan with facts. They are incapable of dealing with this and will be forced to beat their wives in frustration, or kick their dog, or go mud riding.

SECChris- I know you Barners don’t read too good, but when did I say Buffalo was 1AA? And really, you want to say you tried to find a crappy team but you couldn’t find one so you had to settle for Buffalo? Cause last season Buffalo went an impressive 1-10. What, Western Kentucky isn’t returning your calls anymore? Tuby got his ass handed too him by every BCS non-con he’s ever played so he refuses to play them anymore, face up to it and don’t act like you play a tough schedule. I’m owning up to our non-conference schedules being weak the last few years due to probation. Before the sanctions we were scheduling series with BCS teams like Oklahoma and UCLA, and now that we are out we’re scheduling series with BCS teams like Ga. Tech, FSU and Penn Sate. Why don’t you own up to your non-conference schedules being weak because you’re too pussy to play BCS teams anymore after Southern Cal and Ga. Tech taught you that scheduling D1AA cupcakes four seasons in a row is a sure way to make you look good cause you can’t hang with real competition.

Does this blog have an ‘ignore all Bama fans function’? If so, can someone direct me to it?

Just like an Aubie, the Bama fan correctly points out that AU isn’t scheduling BCS opponents during the regular season anymore because their blessed coach (that was a pr nightmare plane ride away from being replaced) just can’t seem to beat them so you want to ignore it instead of admitting that your program and your coach don’t have enough balls to add one more quality opponent on top of an SEC schedule.

Love…exciting and new…

Todd,

In the immortal words of Brian Fantana, just stop posting for a while. Sit the next one out.

Regardless of the fact that we lost, we just did finish playing Southern Cal and Georgia Tech for non-conference foes. Now I know they’re no Florida International or Duke, but I digress.

Isn’t there a sump pump somewhere in Boligee that you need to clean out?

Todd said: “the Bama fan correctly points out that AU isn’t scheduling BCS opponents during the regular season anymore”

The FACTS say: Washington St, from the Pac-10 (A BCS conference; look it up) is on the 2006 schedule. West Virginia (from the Big East, and current Sugar Bowl champion) is on future schedules. (Maybe Todd needs to look up the definiton of “correctly?” Someone who can read, help him out.)

Todd said: “Tuby got his ass handed too him by every BCS non-con he’s ever played so he refuses to play them anymore”

The FACTS say: Syracuse, Penn St., Wisconsin and VaTech are all from BCS conferences, and all have lost to Auburn in the last four years.

The bottom line says: Todd is an idiot who has to make up “facts” to support his ignorant ramblings.

By the way, when was the last time bama beat a team from a BCS conference during the regular season? (Here’s a hint— the coach at the time was Gene Stallings.)

Also, are you the least bit embarrassed that the on-line media guide at www.rolltide.com - “the official site for University of Alabama athletics”- still lists the head coach as Dennis Franchione?

He’s probably too embarassed after learning that the Crimson Tide was named after tying Auburn and the elephant came from beating a 3-5-1 Ole Miss Team.

Bama fans shouldn’t be talking about non-conference opponents. Auburn can at least wipe the floor with La Tech, not go 1-2 vs them. And Northern Illinios has never ever ever ruined our Homecoming.

SECChris – Syracuse is the only one of those teams Tuby played during the regular season. Wins over Penn State, Wisconsin, and Va. Tech were in bowl games. If you can tell me how Tuby managed to go ahead and schedule his bowl appearances and opponents ahead of time I’d like to know. I’ll admit that I forgot he won the second game of the Syracuse series, so there’s a feather for your cap, but besides that one win he hasn’t beaten an opponent from another BCS conference during the regular season his entire career.

Auburn Fan- My point was that after playing southern Cal and Ga. Tech you losers quit scheduling BCS opponents. The past two season there hasn’t been a single BCS non-con opponent on your schedule, while we may not have beaten our BCS non-con opponents we were man enough to schedule them instead of the Citadel and Western Kentucky.

Washington State must not be in the Pac 10, they must be the the Big Sky. Todd, tis better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

“Syracuse is the only one of those teams Tuby played during the regular season.” True, but where in your statement “Tuby got his ass handed too him by every BCS non-con he’s ever played so he refuses to play them anymore” does it imply “regular season only?” In fact, the word “ever” implies just the opposite: “EVER, regular or post-season.”

“The past two season there hasn’t been a single BCS non-con opponent on your schedule.” Really? By “the past two seasons,” one would assume you mean 2004 and 2005; Auburn played Georgia Tech in 2005. (You had no problem remembering that when you were using that fact to ridicule Auburn; funny how you seem to forget it as soon as you want to make a different point."

Maybe “the past two seasons” was meant to include seasons prior to 2005; in other words, 2003 and 2004. If so, sorry; Auburn played two BCS non-conference teams in 2003, USC and Georgia Tech. (Facts you KNEW when you were using them against Auburn, but that you forgot when you tried to argue a different point.)

Face it, you’re not very good at this arguing stuff, mostly because you’re not smart enough to do it without lying. I will give you credit, though, for lying so creatively; I’m sure that’s regarded as “high intellect” among you and your bammer buddies.

Hey SEC Chris,

The NCAA are the liars. Bama didn’t cheat, they didn’t prove a thing.

Sincerely,

Monotooth Nation
