quote:
2015 Georgia was 10-3.
Overtime win vs GA Southern at home.
INT on the last drive to prevent overtime against 3-9 GT.
10 wins? Sure. Keep holding onto that. It is factual. It means nothing. But it is factual.
quote:
They had pulled in multiple recruiting classes ranked #6 and #7 in the years leading up to 2016.
2012 class was #9 (2015 seniors).
2013 class was #12 (2016 seniors. Most of them were gone by 2016 anyway. Awful class with average recruit .8800 out of 32 kids).
2014 class #8. This was a good class and the foundation of the 2017 season. Top to bottom, outperformed rankings with lots of solid players despite only being 20 recruits.
2015 class was #6. Top heavy with great linebackers and Terry Godwin and 2 diamonds (Tae crowder and DeAndre baker. Thin on "hits" but the hits were great).
Your facts are wrong.
I'm shocked. Shocked I say.

You are a year behind. 2017 was Kirby's first real class, not 2016. Like this past years class is 2023, not 2022.
2016: #6
2015: #6
2014: #8
So yeah, my facts aren't wrong. Still, even if we went by your wrong years - they are still ALL better than any year Alabama had prior.
There is a reason Alabama fans call the time period before Saban "The Dark Times".
