You wanna know how bare the cupboard was? For the 2008 draft, following the 2007 season, Alabama had 0 draft picks. It was only the fourth time in history Alabama had no players selected and was the first time in 38 years it had happened.

Saban turned that around into the greatest recruiting engine in college football history in all of 1-2 years.

Y'all newbies need to catch up on some history lessons. You will see a lot of threads that use 1992 as a cut off due to the SECC

The 92 draft covers the 91 season, which is the year before South Carolina and Arkansas joined.

I am embarrassed for you.

Read the thread homie. Between the thread I linked and this one, it's been explained several times. 1992 is probably one of the least arbitrary time frames I could have selected.

How can there be so many people with so little knowledge of the history of their own conference? Maybe the TAMU and Missouri fans get a pass on this... But not South Carolina fans. Take a wild guess as to what year South Carolina played their first year of football in the SEC.


Yeah ... homie. lulz. Sometimes I feel like I am taking candy from babies. And I cited the date Tulane officially left the SEC, for effect, homie. Thanks for taking the bait.

I am embarrassed for you.

Arbitrary is arbitrary when you include Mizzou and A&M's numbers dating back to 1991 OR '92 (but I'll get to that later)... or would you rather simply refer to your choice of dates as random?

My seemingly random/arbitrary reference to 5'10" Caucasian guys in 1966, which was a salute to my Washington Redskin's pick of Charlie Gogolak that year ... 5'10" 165. Yeah, he was the inspirational Hungarian name for Princeton dropout and huge football fan, script writer Mitchell Kapner's "The Whole Nine Yards" character (Janni Gogolak played by Kevin Pollack) which Kapner, at the time, noted the '66 draft would be the last year a 5'10" white man would be drafted in the 1st round. He said that after seeing the number of huge men, many from the SEC, who were drafted that year in the first round ... although most of them would not seem "huge" to us now.

So again, what is it that you are schooling me on homie?

And how can you be that ignorant of the definition of the word "arbitrary" while admitting your chosen date was arbitrarily chosen with the Mizzou and A&M caveat? It's like you are either trying to justify your arbitrariness (sic) or you are employing the logic of a woman - I'm not sure which?

Now, do you understand my arbitrarily chosen date of the day Tulane departed the SEC to counter your arbitrarily chosen date? Or would you have preferred, or even recognized, June 11, 1964 ... the day Ga Tech withdrew from the SEC? .... I mean you are such an SEC historian and all homie.

Oh, and with regard to SC's first official SEC game, it was early September of '92 vs UGA. I was there. We had our asses handed to us. But guess what, the NFL draft had happened a few months earlier in '92, before SC or Ark ever played their first SEC game ... so again, I say, how much more arbitrary could you have made this? I mean the SC and Arkansas players who were drafted in '92 never played a single game as members of the SEC.

Are you capable of even comprehending what I am attempting to convey here?

Again, thanks for taking the bait and I am still embarrassed for you.

You can do all the posturing you want. You should feel like a complete dumbass for referring to 1992 as an arbitrary year.

For what it's worth, I erroneously included first round picks from the 1992 draft. I have deleted those to reflect the correct timetable. So, thanks for pointing that out.

Otherwise, there's nothing arbitrary about the list. TAMU and Mizzou were included as a courtesy to those respective fanbases.

Yet I just schooled you on SEC history - nice correction your arbitrary, even incorrect, random, whatever ... choice of years from which to draw.

It's okay - I get it - I just wish you wouldn't do all the spinning trying to justify your arbitrary randomnous (sic).

I haven't spun anything. I admitted to incorrectly including 4 whole draft pics from the 1992 NFL draft - from 2 whole teams out of 14.

It's pretty clear what the intent of this thread was. I spent a lot of time compiling this list, and it was not at all arbitrary - regardless of how many times you attempt to use that word.

There was nothing random about it, and the reason for using 1992 is obvious to everyone but a few Mizzou and TAMU fans, and apparently one dumbass South Carolina fan.

But thanks for the history lesson.

Good technical point. Should be '93. Technical point aside, I'm baffled at how many think that "since expansion" is in any way arbitrary. It's basically the start of the real modern era of football.
