Aaron Murray to UGA instead of UF.

Dude, you could have been a Champion.




Murray to UGA over UF was a great decision.

I think that was a good decision at the time. Carr coached Tom Brady and ran a great offense for Mallett. Rich Rod getting the job afterwards was out of his control.

Bad:

Robby Green to 'Bama.


How is this bad? It was his fault he got in trouble and his alone.

It would have happened anywhere else...

well, he has been a starter for two years.. i think his lack of stats falls at the hands of crowton and jefferson.

i'm just glad he'll have a year with Mett

Not to mention learning a new position

Still say he should have filled a Percy Harvin type role

If tebow would have came to bama, we would have had a better season, shula would not have been fired, we would not have gotten saban.


TBama93k has the process down perfectly.

Saban said the same thing about LSU losing to UAB.
How they wouldn't have realized they needed to do the work and get better to be able to climb the mountain. Aight?

So I guess your plan was to post in the exact same style that you used too, but use a generic "SECFAN" username so nobody would suspect you. Good thinking SugarHog.

turrible, even for you.

I'll start: Best: Tebow to UF over Bama Cam to Auburn over State Trey DePriest to Bama over Ohio St Worst: Mitch Mustain to Arkansas and subsequent transfer to USC.

Central Arkansas would have been best choice for Mustain.

Nah, the kid had talent, just lost the desire after being used by Houston, his mommy, and Gus Malzahan as a FR.

I would have liked to have seen him playing for Meyer or someone like that from his freshmen year on.

Shep was never going to be a QB in college.Texas told him no way. Les let him see for himself. Shep asked to be moved to receiver as he saw he would not be a QB in SEC or Texas. Nice flame attempt be a penis envy Hog fan with a 70k stadium they rarely fill.
