Preseason Top 25 2020
Preseason Top 25 1982
Similarities include:
1. Guess who was # 3 in both polls?
2. Guess who was ridiculously overrated in both polls for those years?
3. Guess which SEC coach had won a National Championship Title a few years before his LAST YEAR (Coaching and being alive)?
4. Guess which coach died soon after finishing an 8-4 year (3-3 SEC) at age 69?
5. Which coach answered “Probably croak in a week” when asked what he would do after coaching? Then died 4 weeks (not 1) later.
6. How old will the 2020 Coach Of the Team ranked # 3 in the Preseason be this Fall?
7. Which coach lost 2 games having a Top 5 ranking in the preseason in 1981 and 2019?
8. Which coach was beaten by both Tennessee and LSU in his last year coaching in 1982?
9. Which coach could be beaten by both Tenn & LSU in 2020, given a reemergence of Tenn and the fact that LSU has beaten Alabama twice (wins in a row) every time it has had a National Championship in its history?
10. Which coaches father died at age 46?
Answers:
1. Alabama
2. Alabama
3. Paul Bryant won in 1978 (Saban 2017)
4. Paul Bryant died shortly after turning 69
5. Paul Bryant croaked 4 wks later (not 1)
6. Nick Saban turns 69 on Halloween
7. Both Paul Bryant and Nick Saban
8. Paul Bryant
9. Saban could lose to Tenn & LSU in 2020
10. Both Bryant and Saban’s Father died at 46 (heart attack)
According to similarities, Saban should croak in Feb 2021 after a 3 loss season in 2020!
Bryant Saban Similarities
Call it schadenfreude (shodden-froy-duh) on my part, but I want Saban around 10 mo’ yrs getting wheeled around in a shopping cart by Cedric Burns, the State Employee that served both Bryant and Saban.
Draw your own Conclusions!
When Alabama loses three games or four in 2020, there will be no more arguments about THE DECLINE

One guy smoked chesterfields and drank a good bit.
The other is probably physically fitter than 80% of the people on this board who are half his age.
Saban will die at some point, but I would be surprised if it was within the next 5 or even 10 years.

Okay William Lite.

69 years old was alot older in 1982 than 2020.
Saban will coach and live alot longer than Bryant.

1982 and 2020 Preseason Polls - Strange Similarities
1982 Preseason Top 5

There's only one constant in that group when comparing 1982 to 2020 and that's Alabama.

Nothing gets past you huh 1987!
As for the rest of you GOD characters who think you can predict Saban’s lifespan, let me say that you are NOT GOD and you don’t know dick about what you’re talking about.
Stress is a far greater killer than smoking and drinking! I’m 85 and drink only a glass of wine a day, but laugh my arse off daily with lots to do and have fun. I also have amazing DNA with family that live well into their 90’s.
Saban’s father died at 46, the same age as Bear Bryant’s Father
CFB dynasties rise and fall and Saban is clearly past his prime.
STRESS IS THE GREATEST KILLER
Mark This: 2020 is Saban’s last hurrah!
Three losses are coming (at least)
Enjoy your coach’s swan song!

Guess which preseason poll hasn't been released yet? 2020.

Good lord. I despise Phil Fulmer with every ounce of my being, but I would never make jokes or insinuations about his death.
You're a special kind of self-loathing and petty. Enjoy your title a bit before you have to start defending it.

This post has nothing to do with Fulmer.
Tennessee will beat Bama this year if the Curse of the Bear gets to Saban

I’m hoping you are right !
The Curse of the Bear stands tall unless Saban has a great year to break it
Alabama is due to lose 3 or 4 in 2020

Jeez. You’re quite obsessed and that’s coming from a guy that has beat bama in his name

Lmao! That was a good one!
No one with half a brain can deny my points
Bama Rantards
My truth is undeniable! Did you make any of these 25 comments while watching 2019 Bama FB?
Which of 25 below Alabama fan comments is yours?
1. Saban is old. He needs to retire. No fire.
2. This is the most pathetic Bama team Saban has had since he's been here.
3. See y'all next year. Hopefully Golding is gone. At least Tua will be.
4. Sabans done, can see it in his eyes
5. This is on Saban. He officially turned the corner with the Clemson game.
6. This is the most pathetic coaching we have had
7. you can tell we dont put the best athletes on defense anymore like we used to
8.Tua is over rated. He has made ONE SIGNIFICANT pass in 3 years.
9. Shades of Bryant in 1982 folks. This is a program slowly slipping below others.
10. We are not near the same quality of team we once were.. last 2 years have been the decline.
11. This team is trash...Can we just fire the whole Def coaching staff special teams and Sark and start over because this is fricking embarasiing
12. Got to think that the recruits are thinking that they don’t want any of this smoke.
13. y’all be cool. We had a Hell of a ride.
14. Yep. I think this offseason is Saban's last shot to get the coordinators right. If he makes lazy hires like Sark again, or God forbid keeps these fricking losers, then he won't even compete for a championship again must less win one.
15. Clemson was bad but this is humiliating
16. This is a program in decline from the top down. You can watch the sloppy play and know that Saban doesn’t have the same edge. That shot used to not happen because it wasn’t tolerated.
17. This game is over. Alabama quits here
18. Nick is too old to rebuild.. sorry it’s true
19. The defense has it's issues but with that said Sark has done a terrible job of play calling. Terrible.
20. I’m gonna get drunk and nobody can stop me.
21. Maybe Nick needs to spend less time making Aflac commercials and more time coaching, recruiting, and hiring competent staff.
22. Steve Sarkisian is a living, breathing, walking, talking cancer.
23. I’m not looking at the rant for a long time
24. Yeah, this program didn’t slip away, it crashed and burned. Saban threw a Hail Mary with all the young gun coaches 2 years ago. It backfired and he just folded his tent and quit.
25. The most embarrassed I have ever been being an Alabama fan. Completely undisciplined team. Completely unprepared.
Completely out of it.

Exactly. Half witted folks are the exact people who would agree with you.

So you're supposedly a new poster, registered about 6 weeks ago, already have over 600 posts nearly all of which are about Alabama, and you review old Alabama forum threads from before you were supposedly here, for content.
That's amazingly like Sidewalk Tiger; another supposedly new poster, registered about 6 months ago and has over 8000 posts, nearly all about Alabama, and he too reviews old Alabama threads from supposedly before he was here, for content.
No
