Bamas advantage is on the lines and at linebacker. I would say LSU actually holds an advantage at the skill positions.


Not sURE about skill players. You have better ruining backs this season, but I think we have better receivers. Though Dural and Dupre are still very good. Our rbs are very good, but young. Having LF is a trump card over any team. But Guice could certainly play for Bama

Bama's domination will come to an end eventually. More likely sooner than later. Just being honest. Networks want eyeballs in front of the TV sets. Eyeballs are tired of seeing Bama win by 30 every game. NFL numbers are down like 14% on the viewership. College football will be next because the lack of parity. The NFL's parity was a myth for years. Horrible officiating gives the appearance to spectators that outcomes are predetermined in the NFL. Hard to dispute that at high level college games too.

This talent advantage is great but you have to develop it and manage it well too. A prime example is USC there at #2. Talent is obviously not everything.

I could count the amount players Tennessee has right now that would start for Bama on one hand. Four and five stars are not equal by the way. Hell, four stars are not equal to their fellow four star



That again can be pointed at player development. Bama players were being knocked because many thought they had already hit their ceiling in college. I wonder how many ut staters had a Bama offer.


Good thread btw

I like how Bama gets to hold down the receiver and then gets credit for the pick six.

ESPN showed this play from 3-4 different angles to show how bad of a missed call this was.

I prefer Luella's in North Asheville over on Merrimon. Their Andouille is the absolute best I've ever had. Although Buxtin hall isn't bad either. That's more centrally located in the city. Why?

I figured you weren't even in Asheville, would see 12 bones at the top of yelp, and not know they were lunch only.

Luellas is pretty solid.

Actually it has become the norm over the last few years in this league. Take advantage of this loophole and make some money. Have you ever walked into a movie theater with a certain amount of money and walked out with more money than when you entered? That is exactly what this is.

An Auburn fan talking shite about someone cheating? What's next, an Aggy making fun of someone for sucking a dick?

The thing that really changed the game was when every team started playing on TV.


This is a great point.

1990---2 regionally televised games, 1 nationally
1995---6 regionally televised games, 1 nationally
2000---7 nationally televised games, 1 regionally
2005---10 nationally televised games, 2 TigerVision
2011---12 nationally televised games, 2 regionally
2014---All games nationally televised

I'm guessing there's some typos in the dates. Buthe that's interesting to see. Even as someone that was born in the early 80s, to see that much of a change in my lifetime is kinda crazy to see. I didn't realize it had changed that dramatically, even just regionally

Yet you will still have dumbasses in every fanbase that will swear that stars are irrelevant. Stars mean everything!

It was a screen behind the line if scrimmage. You can tackle a RB before the ball gets thrown and it's still legal. You can hit WRs the way same on WR bubble screens as long as the ball is thrown behind the line.

It was great play diagnosis by Reuben Foster.

Nope, no typos. I have a media guide to refer to, as well as a pretty sharp memory from which to verify. What you see above is correct.

I can hear the push now ... NCAA to limit how many 5 and 4 stars you can sign in a year and by position.

It ain't fair Paaawwwllll!!!
