“I�m sure Nick will recruit 32 more players this year and kick 7 underperformers/felons off the team.�

Yes, the one coach in this game who will kick felons off the team. Or guys who discharge assault rifles in public.

As usual, The Artist Permanently Known as a Raging Dumbass shows up to make a fool of himself.

Are you honestly ridiculing Bama fans for being too excited about this season’s long-awaited, yet wholly unexpected success? I’m gonna need some help finding the line here, TAFK. After all, it’s apparently perfectly normal/acceptable to be a rabid enough college football fan that you spend hours a day on a blog dedicated to the topic, but getting too happy over your team winning renders one “batshit crazy”?

Then again, it’s abundantly clear from your comment that you’re simply making shit up, given that you failed to provide even a single example of the type of behavior you find so reprehensible. “I can’t explain it, but these fuckers are crazy…no, really, these people are insufferable…take my word for it.” Now that’s some pretty meaningful shit right there.

And all of this from a guy who pulls for OSU, the school that has long had the market on skank fans cornered? Seriously? Carl Monday thinks you need to shut the fuck up.

I wouldn’t say that I am suffering, I just don’t get it. It’s more amusing and befuddling than it is anything else. Are native Alabamians so desperate for something to feel good about that you don’t know how to control your bodily functions, namely your mouth, when Bama, for the first time in 16 years has a good season?

What did Bear used to say, “act like you been there before.”

Etch, I don’t know who you are, but your first two comments on this thread made me laugh out loud. That Clubber Lang quote is used frequently in my household, and the President of the Lansing Chamber of Commerce was priceless. My hat’s off to you.

Oh, and Roll Tide!

Keep us updated on the grieving process. I know this must be hard on you, what with you being our resident Saban/Alabama prophet of doom.

Those flags were in the same place OSU’s would be EVERY year if they played in the SEC.

TAFKastOSUB – Saban has chosen you as the team’s bizarro mascot. Your suffering has occurred simultaneous with the team’s rise to dominance. Not a coincidence. You, too, are part of The Process and my advice to you is to enjoy your rarified status.

Reporting to you live from ground zero…I can tell you with absolute certainty that Bama fans are batshit crazy, possessed if you will. How do I know this? Because I have observed said fans in extremely close proximity and I have to tell you, I don’t understand it, I don’t know what it is, but there is something in the water down here because when Alabama is on the TV usually rational and sane human beings go absolutely batshit crazy and well-up with a sense of false pride that is unmatched and unparallelled in anything I have ever seen anywhere. This is not an over dramatization…I wish I could explain it better, but I don’t have the words to describe these crazy mother——s.

With that out of the way, the one thing that EVERYONE is missing about Alabama is that their SOS is ranked 88th for a reason. They have played some of the worst offenses in the country. Look it up.

Let me put it into perspective for you. Michigan’s Total Offense and Scoring offense ranked 111th and 90th, respectively.

Bama played roughly 5 teams with similar type offensive rankings. Although the team records might not show it, there are at least 5 teams on Bama’s schedule that were as poor as Michigan’s offensively…3 that were worse…Tenn, Miss State, and Auburn.

Any team that had a pulse on offense scored points on Bama’s defense.

There now that I have jinked myself and will have to endure a Bama win over Florida for the SEC title I guess I’ll go have a drink.

My only wish is that someone please put an L on Bama so that I don’t have to drive past 5,000 car flags every day (where were all those flags last year?).

When you’ve been Sabaned, you must beg for his permission to be un-Sabaned. The fact that you losers don’t understand this only means your Sabanizing will be even more painful than your pathetic lives already are. The Gators will be Processed and then we’re coming for your wives and daughters. Silly silly people. Resistance is futile.

The Tide shall rolleth. So says The Saban. You have been warned.

sb, you miss the point… this isn’t so much a case of rampant homerism so much as it’s desperation in filling space about a topic that’s been written deep into the ground. The SEC Title game was decided earlier than ever, and there have been more column-inches dedicated to the game now than to Sarah Palin’s inability to disappear back into the woodwork.

There’s nothing wrong with homerism as long as it’s not played off to be objective. I think from that perspective it’s a great article.
I don’t have time to delve into the logic, but that doesn’t matter since it is pro Bama on a pro Bama website.

Other than that, I hated it. Of course I’m not too objective being an Auburn fan.

MSU to LSU a lateral move?

MSU will always be the other school in its own state…and will be the 4th choice at best in the surrounding recruiting area…behind Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State and Noter Dame. At LSU he owned a state with more than a few blue chip players and could compete in the neighboring state of Texas and near by state of Florida…where I am told they have some pretty good HS players as well.

But if you want to think that MSU to LSU was a lateral move, be my guest. We’ll all assume that you also think that having Pam Ward call your games in West Lafayette at noon on WWL 8 is great exposure for your university.

@41,

That’s a compelling argument you make there: Saban will leave because I say he will. Brilliant.

By the way, LSU offered him a 70% pay increase and the opportunities to (1) coach in America’s premiere conference and (2) head a program that isn’t an afterthought within its own state. Yep–lateral move.
