Remember the insane butthurt Auburn fans showed over Rivals.com moving Barrett Jones to the #1 ranked center in the country? They claimed a vast Bama bias conspiracy by Rivals.com in place to pump Bama's recruiting classes up. The main complaint was on Barrett moving to center and Bama's class getting more points because of it. He had never played center before. Rivals.com national analyst Bobby Burton even had to release a statement to try to calm the butthurt from the Aubs.

Well, time for some crow. He just won the Rimington award which is given to the best center in the country.

Did your statistical analysis arrive you at those numbers?

I'll never understand the absolute hatred LSU fans have for Barrett Jones. Oddest thing I've ever seen.

You went back and watched every BAMA game looking for holds, didn't you?

No, I don't live in Alabama. I have things to do. Picked a random number. Must be a fairly accurate assessment though if you Bama fans believed it.

Your avatar needs to be updated. Maybe you can get with the aubs and they'll make you a nice LSU themed leprechaun.

I don't care about Rivals bias for Bama's recruiting honors--couldn''t care less.

The SEC refs bias towards Bama is what gets me. Even when Peterson got 3 steps in on his interception, that was clearly evident in the replay, they refused to overturn. The chicken-shite third down spots to give Bama a first down or take away a first down from LSU in that game pissed me off.

I bet a lot of lineman could win that award if they got away with the amount none-holding calls Bama gets every year.

He is also the single biggest source for LSU rantard butthurt on commenting about holding calls not made.


If possible you need to start a few more Bama O-line threads tonight just to tweak the tards.
