WSJ SUCCESS INDEX: FLORIDA REIGNS SUPREME.

Fortunately, no one in Alabama cares about the NFL, outside of its value as a fantasy sport.

DeMeco baby, DeMeco

Alabama has done quite well when you take into consideration that they haven’t had the talent of Tenn, Fla, etc since probably 98-99, the one thing I do know is Alabama’s defense this year will be quicker than last years (if less experienced esp. at safety), and we know dj hall and keith brown are both 6’4, 4.4-40 gazelles…I think I remember a simple slant pattern, and a fla. db with an angle

Yeah, and little Brokie Croyle’s 1-for-9 performance last week masks the fact that he was only sacked three times. That’s about eight less than his average! He’s bound for stardom, I tell you! Why, he’ll have an NFL career to rival… Tyler Watts!

Tyler Watts never played in the NFL, the Titans signed him as a free agent and saw his 3 second wind up release and cut him immediately

What y’all don’t realize is that for every time Croyle gets sacked, he gets a punch on this card, and if he gets two more punches then he qualifies for a free pastry with any coffee purchase at participating Starbucks.

I mean, jeez. I’m plugged in, people. Ask me before you post about this stuff.

btw..brandon cox is a product of borges’ system…I have a better arm than that kid, half the balls he throws couldn’t even break a fucking window

Tyler Watts never played in the NFL

Precisely.

Freddie Milons might not have been unstoppable in the NFL, but he was UNSTOPPABLE when he ran up and down the field on your Gators in the SEC Championship Game!! Roll Tide!!

DeMeco Ryans and Roman Harper could both be starting as rookies this year. Chris Samuels has more than acquited himself. And as much as it pains you, Shaun Alexander does count for Alabama.

We were counting the minutes until that post, Brad. You beat our prediction by two.

how did Jerome Bettis not make the “notable players” list for the irish in that breakdown? Is there a game bigger than the Super Bowl that I’m not aware of?

Yeah, Milons kicked almost as much ass as Reidel did in the ’96 game, except he never got to get sized for one of those MNC rings ;)

speaking of the WSJ, they just named Lindy’s as the most accurate pre-season mag…weep all you Phil Steele bitches…obviously ATS Consulatants(the bible) did not make their little study

matt,

Why did you bring Brandon Cox into the discussion? Nobody ever said he will be NFL material, but in one year as the starter at AU he did more than Brodie did in four at Bama. Man, I wish Alabama would quit losing (rolling over) to Auburn. It’s sickening to see the inferiority complex shift to Tuscaloosa.

What this shows, once again, is that the SEC is the best conference with the best players. Five of the top 10 are SEC schools and seven of the 10 schools are from the south. Other conferences may have one or two programs of excellence at a time, but no conference can match the depth of talent found in the SEC. I remember when Tony Dungy was with the Bucs he said that he liked to draft players who had been productive at big-time programs because they were more likely to be productive pros. These stats seem to bear out his intuition.

cox is in a much, much better system than croyle ever was…however, as far as ability, arm strength, etc there is no comparison

Brody Croyle needs a haircut.

You missed another difference between Cox and Croyle: Cox isn’t a whiny brat. Oh, and he’s led his team to a win in the I.B., of course…

Yay! Warren likes the Gators! Rammer Jammer blah blah blah.

matt,

This is true. It still doesn’t explain why you brought Cox into the discussion.

I still vividly remember the very first time Milons touched a football the next year. He ran back a punt for a TD against UCLA. I ran around the house screaming National champs, BABY! Man, that season sucked.

Wait, they listed Eddie Kennison as a standout from LSU. Huh?

I can’t believe the insult against BAMA. We OWE your ass now. You know what they say about payback? Well it is coming on Sept. 30th. Somebody post this Freddie Milons stuff on the bulletin board. I can’t believe the insult against BAMA.

That’s what I thought. You are a tool.

Florida has more NFL players!!!!! Hooray (FART)

“That’s what I thought. You are a tool.”

“tool”, who the fuck uses that word, you must have been the shit in high school

a real fucking party stud throwing words like “tool” around as you angrily downed high life at a “kegger”

That’s somewhat bogus in that an early in the round draft pick who goes to a crummy team will earn fewer points in that system than a lower pick who happens to be signed by a better team.

I’d also give extra points for the alums who make all-pro, that makes much more sense to me than what they did.

Nah, don’t think so, but with the University buying The Booth and everything…I heard UA was trying to buy out the whole Strip, including Gallette’s. I think they’re trying to make it like Georgia, aka terrible.

Name one Gator in the last ten years that has won the NFL MVP award. Or better yet name a Tiger from LSU or Auburn for that matter. Wait maybe Emmitt? not sure?

All this discussion about tools reminds me of a headline in my paper a few weeks ago:

“Evangelical tool”

It was about something to get kids into the Bible or something. I couldn’t quit laughing.

Yeah – Texas only sent 3 players to the NFL last season because the “shotgun style offense” doesn’t translate well to the NFL. Forget that one was the #3 pick, and a QB. Forget that they are returning seven starters on offense. Forget that it was actually four NFL players from the offense, since Armahd Hall looks like he will be the starting FB for the Titans. So basically every starter off the offense who isn’t coming back will be in the NFL. Sounds awful.

And oh by the way the greatest College Running back of all time was not worth the paper his contract was written on in the NFL. Can you say Herschel Walker?
I know this is ancient history but,

 Name the only school to have 3 Super Bowl winning QB’s.

Yes. That’s exactly how I was. And you are still a loser…tool.

au03…?…I think so

Yess……UA…..that is correct.

Nope.

Since when are the strength of college football programs measured by the level of NFL success enjoyed by their former players. Hell, by that measure, South Carolina has a pretty damn good program. And well…
