How much must it suck to have the "best SEC team of all time" and go undefeated but it still isn't enough.



It is enough....I mean, if you are wrapped up in other people's opinions of you, and that is a serious personal weakness, then you would really hate it.....but winning every game is all I can ask of my sports programs.

If other people decide to acknowledge it, then that's great, but if they don't I have to be a strong enough person to say that's fine, because it is.

If I were weak, it would bother me more, but I'm an unusually grounded and strong individual. Not an emotional cripple like many of you guys who depend on outside validation to tell you your dick is big enough.....

Obviously a good team but one of the best ever might be a stretch.

No, we fired a 6-6 coach who's only winning season in 4 years came the previous year - a year in which he still managed to lose to 2 of our 3 biggest rivals and fail to win the SEC West.


I can see now I have encountered the "under 30" set of the bammer nation......

I honestly don't think it is a stretch though. I really do think this is the best Alabama team of all time, and it's quite possible that this 2009 Alabama team is the best SEC team ever. Truth.

The 1904 Vandy team had a 9-0 season and outscored their opponents 474 to 4.

That must've been before the books arrived on campus and fricked them up forever.

Can you think of an SEC team that was better than this 2009 Alabama team?

The SEC wasn't put together until around 1933 I believe.

No, it is not the best Alabama team of all time.....on one hand, it's tough to compare eras, but to think this team is better against their competition than the 1979 team was is laughable, imho. There were other alabama teams that were better as well....

In the end.. the only thing that matters is that we were the best team this year. And that's good enough for me.

This is the Bamatard Rant.


I'd pick 2001 UF and 2004 Auburn to beat this Bama team and several others who were much more dominant.

Well, I don't have a dick.

And that sure is a lot of words to say it doesn't bother you.

yes

1. 2004 Auburn

2. 1983 Auburn

3. 1996 Florida

4. 2008 Florida

5. 2003 LSU

6. 1982 UGA

7. 1979 Alabama

8. 1965 Alabama

9. 1990 Florida

10. 1993 Auburn

There are ten just off the top of my head. You guys needed "help" against too many teams this year and needed an injury against Texas to beat them.....you also needed a classless last touchdown to try to quiet the shitstorm that was coming for not convincingly beating Texas with a true frosh QB.......

Neither of which won jack squat on a national level. You also need to consider the level of competition that each team faced. I'm not sure about 2001, but in 2004 - the SEC flat SUCKED.

Yep. I'm a woman of my word.

I got to get one from my camera. I'll post it in this thread. It will stay up for 10 minutes.
