Over and over?

You've claimed, what, five games involving Alabama that he's gotten wrong? That's not really over and over... Also, can you post a link to these Bama atrocities, I'm not just gonna take you on your word.

Now that I will come close to agreeing with. He certainly comes off as a douche at times.

I admit I can't stand the man. I just wish he would at least pretend to be objective LOL.

Just because he's not picking YOU, does not mean he's not being objective.

Our recent success the past couple of years makes this reek of a lack of objectivity

In a few big games it is fine, but if it is truly every big game then he lacks objectivity.

I don't think he is very good at what he does, so I don't watch or listen. Apparently some people do or he wouldn't still have a job.

You do know that Brando was a sportscaster at WAFB in Baton Rouge in the 80's right? He is from LA.

It's not like Paul picks teams over Bama often. It is what it is. They both stir shite to get ratings.

Man the gumps have taken this and run huh?

Tim Brando is a talented broadcaster. He's been there and done that in pretty much every possible way.

He talks more SEC athletics in a hour than the other national personalities talk in a week. A Rolodex of guests that will put others to shame.

Just because bammer didn't get the love they want does not change any of those facts.

Every single one of you would kill to have had the sports experiences he has had and trust me, no one just gets that opportunity without hard work and putting in a ton of blood sweat and tears

The gumps are too fricking much on this board

And maybe I will agree if y'all can provide a pick history.

Yeah, I can't take his show seriously. I think he does an okay enough job with his normal hosting duties, but the show seems so contrived.

I don't care about that. That was more in the direction of the OP saying he has picked against Bama in every big game.

With our recent success that is just plain stupid.

He did pick Louisville number 1, so I didn't even have to look where he put Alabama to know his top 10 is shite.

I'm sure at some point he has picked Alabama to win a game.

And if he hasn't then he is trolling you and you apparently took the bait.

They've got a great quarterback, an up and coming coach and a cake schedule. Not a bad pick at all.

I hate Brando not because he doesn't pick Bama; I understand that he likes to troll Bama fans. He just annoys the hell out of me with his "fly in the ointment" crap he's been floating around for years now, thinking it's cute and if a team like that did get in the BCSCG that he would look like a genius. I just think he doesn't even believe the stuff he say sometimes, but he says it anyways to be different.

Why do you feel like Alabama as a program has to be validated by this asshat?

Isn't one of the main points of objectivity throwing out the past and focusing on the current situation?

blah, blah, blah


Long story short, yes he's an LSU homer

Glad to alert the last 1% of the country to this obvious fact.

Yup, he's such a LSU homer that LSU didn't make his top 10.

A top 10 he released almost 2 months ago.
