I seriously had to read it twice when he said the difference between NS and BP was slim. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Arky and Ole Miss can keep waiting it's definitely our turn

I literally burst out laughing. I don't see how Arky fans can hold their team in such high regard when they haven't accomplished anything

etter historically? Well of course you are. Better coach? Honestly at this point I would say yes, as I have always said at this point you have to put Saban at the top; but the difference is slim, and surely you aren't trying to claim that Petrino isn't a good enough coach to get his team past a Sugar Bowl loss to a perennial top10 program?
Seriously?! I am NO Bama fan, but historically, today, tomorrow, WHENEVER, Alabama is leaps and bounds ahead of Arkansas.

If Arky were even near Bamas level this would be a relevant point.
It's a completely relevant point, noway is Petrino going to just give up because we lost to OSU, nor will his team.

I don't subscribe to the theory of blaming the coach for everything that goes wrong for a team, I didn't like it when some of our fans tried to do it when Nutt was here and I don't like it now. Yes, Petrino made a few bad calls here and there, and the team came out flat, but ultimately it came down to a few guys didn't make plays. If Joe Adams would have caught 3 of the 7 passes he dropped Petrino looks like a great coach. If we would have recovered the fumble, or scooped and scored, or if Mallet had completed that last pass.... Well you get the point.
The point is last year was a building block not the end of our progression.

receivers dropping several passes, a few of which might have been touchdowns
failing to fall on the fumble that produced tOSU's first touchdown
failing to scoop and score on the blocked punt
Mallett's typical chokejob

The difference is slimmer than you imagine. Just as the difference between say Miles and Nutt is slim. There is a very small difference between being good enough and being great at ANY job. If they weren't good coaches they wouldn't be SEC head coaches to begin with.

If not LSU (of course my first pick) I wouldn't mind UGA winning it all this year.

I don't get it either. They have yet to lose less than 3 games in a season and they have only done as well as only 3 loses twice in the almost twenty years they've been here.

Sorry bro, that year LSU did earn its way there. The rest of the nation agrees to it. It really makes me question your lucidity when you claim otherwise
No. Other teams lost for LSU to get there. LSU had nothing to do with that. Voters went down the list to the next team that did not lose. Had one of the 5 teams ranked above LSU won, you would not have been there. Its real easy to see to a non-homer. Earning your way there means that you did not need other teams to lose to get there.

The people who say that are morons as well.

Serious question: Why does it matter how we got there?

No one is saying Petrino isn't good. We're saying he's not Saban. It's not even close either. Saban built not one, but two SEC schools in less than 3 seasons from the ground up.
Petrino has yet to accomplish that at one school.

Saban had more SEC wins in his first two years at Bama than Petrino has in his career in the SEC.
