Naive people like you were spewing the same idiocy back in 2010 when Saban (gasp) lost some games. Then he won back-to-back NC's.

Halt my arse, if anything he's just angrier now, which isn't a good thing for y'all.

Realistically, UK hasn't had an awful season in years

But this is what I mean when I say the shine has worn off, you're giving Cal one more year? If that isn't considered a chink in the armor I don't know what is?

Well it'll be his 6th season.

And people are unrealistic if they thought he was invincible to begin with.

one non-NC year after we won the last two NCs doesnt mean the process is halted. Its means you frickers got real lucky. This shite aint stopping. Accept that, dumb dick.

Well you know the temperament of BBN better than most around these parts so I'll bow to your knowledge

I mean if UK wants to fire Cal, there's a snowballs chance in hell that he would consider Auburn since we're likely to always be hiring a Basketball coach. Gives me something to hope for

You guys are being very humble right now but think back two years ago and tell me you expected Saban to be begging for a rule change and UK facing a return trip to the NIT (*)



Saban is going to go 11-1/12-0 in 2014, rule change or no.

Both seem to recruit well. Both are considered to be the best at what they do. But, they don't have to buy their student atheletes or rely on gimmicks to get them through. Anyone can be beaten on a given Saturday. Hell, API was a minute and thirty-eight seconds away from losing five games.

API is the kind of team that's hamburger, but in their minds they're prime-rib. Always "wanna-bes". It is, what it is.

API saddest day in the last decade, was when Saban was hired. Corndogs might just feel the same way.

I don't know what you are talking about in regards to Saban. Alabama hasn't lost a game since he arrived.... Unless you count thew ones where they beat themselves...

You're so right, B'ham Tide. Some people can't handle the truth.

Yes Saban landing #1 recruiting class after class after class equals a level playing field.

So Saban AND Calipari are up in your head.

Sad.

Even the greatest coach of all-time lost games like that. It was a few years before my time but there was Bear Bryant and the "Punt, Bama, Punt!" Iron Bowl of 1972.

Anybody who ever thought they were "invincible" is an idiot in the first place.

I mean, the SEC is loaded with talent and great coaches. Alabama has had slightly more talent and a slightly better coach, which is why they have been doing so great over the past 5-6 years.

However the gap is quite small. You have one off game against a good opponent and you're likely to get beat, like if your FG kicker misses 97 FG's in the 4th quarter or TJ Yeldon fumbles for the 82nd time this season, etc.

This is just silly. You list the "greatest coaches of all time" in ANY sport and I can find embarassing losses that happened on their watch.

That's just sports man, nobody wins every game.
