re: 8&4 is real

Nothing in your reasoning is why we should accept mediocrity. We can only control what happens at our program. Find the right coach, change the culture, invest in the program (already mostly done for us. New facilities, money for assistant salaries, etc). That’s it. Control what you can and the pieces will fall in place. If you create a stable, competitive program you will move into the dominant category and push another out.

And the “big 6” is one of the dumbest things on the main rant. You don’t have 6 dominant programs in a single season anyways. Auburn and LSU are notoriously up and down, both fired NC winning coaches within 2 years of a title. Tennessee hasn’t done anything since the late 90s, early 2000s. Yes Bama is always good under saban and Georgia looks to be the same under Smart.
