re: Can Saban go 10-2 at Bama in 2008?

I think if talent is equal, on a neutral field, Tubby beats Saban 8 of 10 times.

i am getting really tired of this. tubbs is a really good coach and should (minimum) have a national championship appearance to his name. but 1 SEC title < 2 SEC titles and NC. those are the measuring sticks. tubbs has a GREAT record against top 10 teams-- its actually pretty remarkable, but fact is, hes losing too many games he shouldnt- and probably winning more games than he should too.

and lets put this "more with less" argument to rest. lets stop pretending he has UAB's roster. he has SEC caliber talent. he finishes with top 20 classes. he has 85 schollies like the rest. just b/c rivals has awburn rated lower doesnt mean shite. those are fun, subjective ratings for fans to beat their chest about(or in some cases claim national championships) and dont amount to shite.

bottomline: tubbs has SEC talent like everyone else, wins alot of games against top competition, then rolls over the next week against ar-kansas and lower tier schools.
