Yeah, the LHC has been a huge let down. I am pretty pissed at it not doing something dramatic and devastating. Very dissappointing.

I expected it to at least make some scientists' hair fall out or something. Jeez.

I would have settled for just a small blackhole that pulled an arm or two off or something. Hell, anything. But all the stupid thing did was overheat, frickup, and function at suboptimal levels with absolutely zero loss of life or even serious injury.

The more I think about that stupid thing and its collosal failure to frick something up the more angry I get. Makes me want to go over to Europe and frick the thing up.

Good analogy. Lots of anticipation for disaster and devastation and nothing. Sounds about right.

The 09 Bama D would have stuffed Cam Newton,plus they would not give up the long TD passes with the much more experienced secondary.

Last year's Bama team will end up
having a crap-ton more players on NFL rosters than this year's Auburn team. Here is a list of 2009 Bama players that are already on or will end up being on NFL rosters:

Javier Arenas
Mark Barron
Kareem Jackson
Rolando McClain
Marcel Dareus
Julio Jones
Colin Peek
Brandon Deadrick
Terrence Cody
Julio Jones
Courtney Upshaw
Mike Johnson
James Carpenter
Mark Ingram
Trent Richardson
William Vlachos
Marquis Maze
Barrett Jones

That's not counting major contributors who were young and will possibly make NFL rosters... Josh Chapman and Nico Johnson come to mind... And I'm sure I left a few off.

Anyone care to make a list for 2010 Auburn?

Cam Newton
Nick Fairley
Darvin Adams
Michael Dyer
Lee Ziemba

Who else is a sure bet to make an NFL roster? I'm sure there are several more, but there is NO doubt that 2009 Alabama >>>>>>> 2010 Auburn



Anyone care to respond directly to this post?

Not really. It is sorta worthless. 2010 Texas has a shite ton more players on its roster than every team it lost to this year.

Your point is meaningless.

Also, 2010 Bama is probably more talented than 2009 bama.

No it isn't. There is a HUGE and clear talent differential between Alabama in 2009 and Auburn 2010. It is absolutely ridiculous to suggest that Auburn's 2010 team is better than Alabama's 2009 team - much less suggest they would win by double digits if the two teams ever met.

There is literally nothing solid for you to base that assessment on.

Much more talented. Also much, much, much younger and more inexperienced.

Auburn won big in 2010 because of a combination of having a senior laden team, and a prolific quarterback. You match Bama '09 and Auburn '10 and the Auburn experience factor becomes nil, and the only thing Bama has to deal with is a prolific quarterback.

I'll take my chances against that prolific quarterback with:

Marcel Dareus (projected 1st round)
Mark Barron (All-American, probable 1st round)
Rolando McClain (1st round, top 10 pick, starting MLB for Oakland Raiders)
Brandon Deadrick (Drafted by NE Patriots)
Kareem Jackson (1st round, starting CB for Houston Texans)
Javier Arenas (Starting CB for KC Chiefs)
Terrence Cody (All-American, starting DL rotation for Baltimore Ravens)
Courtney Upshaw (Likely 1st day draft pick next year)

If you let us have a healthy Donta Hightower (pre-Arkansas) and young beast Nico Johnson it becomes even more ridiculous.

And that's just the defense.

That defense was SICK, btw.

What gives you even a slight thought that this year's Auburn team could defeat that Bama team?

Uh huh. And you base that on the fact they had to have a horrific officiating call to defeat a young Tiger team at home in '09 and Lee's picksixitis to squeak by in '08. Either of those BCS title teams would handle '09 'Bama or '10 Auburn on a given day. Probably would split a home and home series with either but that is the very least. Your statement is moronic on several levels.


Are LSU fans EVER gonna stop whining about the non-interception call? It's not like a TD was taken away and LSU hadn't moved the ball the entire 2nd half. Get over it already!! Saying Bama had to rely on Lee's pick 6's in 2008 is like saying Bama would have won this year if their young secondary hadn't blown so many coverages. No way in hell 2007 LSU would "handle" 2009 Bama. And probably not 2010 Auburn. Auburn isn't that talented top to bottom but they have arguably the best athlete of our generation on offense and a dominant DL who can make up for a porous secondary. LSU 2007 had a ton of individual talent but there was chemistry or something lacking. That team just wasn't that impressive taken as a whole. Now the 2003 team, as I stated in an earlier post, was dominant enough to play with anyone in recent memory.

When did I say anything about recruiting rankings. I'm talking about players who are NFL ready. Javier Arenas was a 2* recruit... Now starting for Kansas City.

Alabama's 2009 defense alone ended up having 6 guys who left after last year end up on NFL rosters. Count Mark Barron, Marcel Dareus, Donta Hightower, and Courtney Upshaw, and that number moves to 10. On that defense alone.

I'm not sure Auburn has 10 players total on this years team who contribute regularly (start or see significant playing time) that will end up on NFL rosters.

Feel free to correct me on that... But I can only think of 5 or 6 on Auburn's entire team. Bama had 10 on that defense alone... We're not even talking about offensive playmakers and current or future NFL players like Julio, Ingram, Barrett Jones, Mike Johnson, Trent Richardson, M. Maze, and James Carpenter.

I want someone to use logic to refute what I'm presenting, but I don't think you can do it.

Combine all that with the fact that Auburn has won 6 games this year by one touchdown or less - compared to Alabama's 2 from last year, and I don't think there is room for much doubt.

Alabama 2009>>>>>>>>>> Auburn 2010

I really didn't mean to cause all of this conflict. As good as Bama was last year and Auburn this year, the '03 LSU team would dismantle both of them. And if you disagree with that you really don't know or understand much about college football. I'll leave on that note. Merry Christmas all!

Bama would have lost to Texas last year had McCoy played.


Likewise, Auburn would have lost to Alabama with McElroy, Arkansas with Mallet, and Clemson with Parker



Anyhow, Alabama 2009 had the most all-americans ever assembled on one team. They are the only SEC team to have ever gone 14-0. They played the #2 ranked SOS, beat 10 bowl teams, beat a 12-0 team and a 13-0 team back-to-back, and didn't get to play the title game in their home state (cough LSU 2003/2007 cough). 2009's defense would not have given up a 24 point lead, so I'd have to say Bama wins.

I'm not so sure that you are right about that. They barely beat us this year and we are a 9-3 team. I think our defense last year would have been the difference and we would have beat Auburn this year at home with ease.
