Vrabel does have 10 NFL catches for 10 touchdowns…not bad for a linebacker. Hasn’t Seymour been on the IR this year?

I prefer Konstantin Chernenko to Yuri Andropov, but that’s just me. Back to Bama/Auburn, Big Ten/SEC bickering.

Yeah, the true anchor on that D is a UGA guy – Richard Seymour. Robert Edwards was also on his way to stardom there, until the brainiacs in the NFL office decided beach football was a good idea.

With Bama fans it’s either what happened 25+ years ago or what’s going to happen in the future. It’s never about what is happening now, ’cause now usually sucks for them.

tOSU,

Mike Vrabel I assume you mean? If you think he’s an “anchor” you’re kidding yourself. Brady may be the best QB ever, and he’s the reason the Pats have been the “most dominating franchise in recent history.” Bully for Michigan.

A Yuri Andropov reference, I can now stop reading

None taken…I know this much, there is a Michigan QB and an Ohio State Linebacker that have both been the anchor of the most dominating NFL franchise in recent history…both have 3 SB rings and are likely to have a 4th after this season.

OSU players on NFL rosters: 55
(according to Sportsline)

Georgia players on NFL rosters: 48

OSU is behind Miami and in front of Florida State in terms of how many players are on current NFL Rosters.

OSU has more players on NFL rosters than any other SEC school. Apparently, the NFL doesn’t run on SEC speed.

So your one game better than LSU…Congrats….you lost to an unranked opponent, that I am sure, in your opinion, was more talented than Flordia’s team last year……and I am sure if your schedule would deem it so to play ranked opponents after the month of October, when it counts,you possibly would have another loss,
but I am sure you will save that one for when it counts,like the BCS championship…if you get there and lose this one, God help your credibility as a yearly highly ranked program…..
I thought Les Miles was lucky, hell, tOSU is lucky, they fall into the top 5 by being IDLE. Thats 2 weeks at the house while other teams play on…and tOSU will benefit, again, if any of them fall—Mizzou rematch vs Okla….Do you think you could win vs Michigan again in a league endorsed rematch? Would you want to play it again if there was no clear Big 10 winner? and then have to go play in the MNC?
Yeh the SEC is pissed, we play a different kind of football..we have to have attack dogs on the field to keep the players from attacking the fans..We have SEC Speed Attack Dogs…We laugh at Kansas being number 2…smoke and mirrors and glitter can only get you so far….THIS IS WHY WE NEED A PLAYOFF
hell Div II has one, and I think it kinda works

Aubies-

Good game. Can’t talk any trash, because we know what happened on the field.

I look forward to watching our coach build a fine program. After hearing Wallace Gilberry’s post-game comments, I have no doubt they are on their way.

Also, Irwin, you are a piece of shit. You can’t seriously think that anyone would equate a loss in college football with the loss of human life. You have trivialized those events much more than Saban did by using them to take a shot at fans you don’t like. Fuck off.

I haven’t done the research, but I’ll be UGa put more people in the NFL over the last several years.

Price dont matter when it comes to MNC…..
$32 million…..it wouldnt matter if it was $320,000 everyone would still be harping on Nick Saban….
Gene Stallings first year wasnt spectacular, they even loss to Louisville in the Fiesta Bowl….went 7-5, the difference between him and Saban is that Stallings had Bill Currys abundance of NFL talent and depth left over….which he parlayed into a undisputed MNC only 2 seasons later in 1992. Saban doesnt have that luxury, he will have to do it over a 4 yr period where HIS talent and HIS coaching…1st year coaches always gets a pass…2nd year the scrutiny starts…Defense did a so-so job, offense could have been 100% better had they kept the starters together…
Crabs—–yeh injuries happen, not 5 at one time…maybe 1 or 2, not 3 from the same side of the ball…..
Look, you cant take 10yrs worth of bullshit and lay on Sabans feet….they had a chance at Butch Davis back in the day and the Admin blew it…thats where Alabama needs to clean house is in the ADMIN…thats 90% of Alabamas problem….and thank God that he cant be messed with by anyone is in his contract…Auburn has had 6 straight wins, but only 1 SEC appearance, 1 more than Alabama in the past 6 yrs, so whats up with that?

On the bright side, finishing early and not playing a conference championship game does provide a convenient excuse for getting beaten in the MNC game, even though you have won like 4 other BCS games after long layoffs.
