Unless you get into the GOAT debate, a Herschel v. Bo type thing, you might as well ask which team you like better, or hate more for LSU peoples. Ingram did good things for Bama. Mason did good things for AU. Both can be serviceable NFL backs. Neither will be Erick Dickerson.

Take a second and think about that.
If I had a second to think about it, I would say you are full of shite. (unless you think Mizzou would have spanked bama's arse)

Don't think you can establish a "pattern" with what AU has done recently. Unless you are claiming we will follow up 12-2 in '13 with 8-5 in '14 and a losing season in '15.
(The * denotes that these were on-field records; due to repeated NCAA violations, the offical records for those three seasons are 0-2, 2-7, and 2-6 respectively).

Although I think Mason is a good back, he also profits from a system which AU runs very well I might add....similar to those air raid offenses where QBs rack up tons of yardage and TDs.
If Mason played in a pro-style offense he wouldn't have nearly as many yards and TDs.
So if the Eagles draft him, he's good...anyone else and he's going to have to work a hell of a lot harder.

So I think he'll be fine no matter where he ends up.

not the lame second argument. How many of those t-shirts do you have.
Honestly, I dont feel Alabama beating mizzou was a given considering what they had gone through w auburn the week before and mizzou's receivers.

Yep, I remember those struggling years. It took Bama about 3 years to recruit enough depth to compete in the SEC well. That still wasn't enough to win the SEC most of those 10 win seasons. Bama shouldn't have that problem these days with how well Saban has recruited, and Auburn has even recruited quite well lately too. I suppose Auburn might of had some misfortune keeping kids on campus sorta like probation would cause, but that's no different than losing 3-5 Juniors to the NFL most years. Even so, these days both Bama & Auburn shouldn't be hurting with recruiting the depth it takes to compete in the SEC. Both programs have recruited well these past 4-5 years......

Mason went 0-2 against LSU, so hands down lock...Jacob Hester.
