Dude who is a Florida fan who says some random bama fan is a douche: maybe, but I personally have no quarrel with UF except when we play them. Hell, I even like Meyer. I think he shows a lot of (dreaded word) class and he and his players handled the Prothro situation as good as i’ve ever seen when he went down. Spurrier used to piss me off, mostly based on recruiting ploys he used to use, but like most of the SEC fans, he’s grown on me.

The Shula-Saban thing. The Shula hire was about as good as we could get at that point with a shit storm surrounding us. The whole thing wore thin on everyone though and the situation was bad enough that we HAD to overpay(the salary of 3.5 isnt that much worse than Stoops by the way. He makes something like 3 and Tubbs is probably going to move up to at least 2.3 or so, maybe more) for someone that would excite the fanbase and recruits. It was a desperation move, but honestly, we generate more revenue than most teams(not to say we are better, just generate more revenue)…if you got it, spend it. It was a smart business move in the sense that the excitement it produced moved merchandise at an all time high. I guarantee we made more money off the Saban hire than we spent. It was kinda necessary to pull a HUGE name and we did. Greeting him at the airport and the A-day game was just a show of excitement and relief at what we’d thought would be the end of inconsistency

As far as the feel of superiority….I promise I’m about as far from that as possible. Hell, i think we’re cursed. I do think we will be a great team again though in the way that the true powers don’t disappear. Notre Dame will never be a bad team year in and out. Michigan, USC, OSU, OU, etc will never be down for long.

The Alabama-Auburn thing….I can’t really explain it because there isnt another state that has 2 teams as powerful. But it doesnt matter what one side says to the other. It’s a rivalry….the most intense one in sports. Of course we are going to say “you can’t pull off the things we can and we’ll always be Alabama, blah blah blah” and you’ll say what you say, but it’s two great teams battling for one state. We owned it for a while, the NCAA helped you take it over for a while(sorry, had to do it) and soon we’ll battle again. See you at BDS.

Only this year have I come to wish Bama ill. Two reasons: Saban and the corresponding (and ill-deserved) hype. Having one BamaFan talk shit to me (weeks after Georgia’s win and with my conscious avoiding of the subject) that Bama will win a national championship before Georgia. “Guaranteed.”

Now that, my friends, is completely absurd (although it could happen).

* in the white trashiest sense only

Tim Tebow = DOUCHE

But a freaky-good DOUCHE

Smoke in tunnel + “click-clack” + “The Jungle” = DOUCHE

I am a UGA grad (now out of the closet) and I don’t remember Coach Richt being subjected to this much vitriol when he took over. I admired seeing 90,000+ for a practice game. I think a lot of it strted with his style of coaching and being hailed as a savior before he really did anything. That said, I am glad we are in the east and don’t play you every year.
peace

TAFKATOSUB has stated before that he spent some time in Alabama and had bad experiences down there. His fixation with Saban goes back to the year that Saban’s Michigan State team upset the otherwise unbeaten Buckeyes and cost them the MNC. So we have a convergence of personal issues at work with maybe a little OCD or Arspargers syndrome thrown in.

Now is time for him to take the next step with his screen name and drop tOSU out of it totally. I know the other Buckeye fans around here would REALLY appreciate it if he conducted his crusade without dragging the university into it daily.

All this time I just thought he was merely British….

Uncool.
