Did the SEC make a mistake by not taking Clemson instead of South Carolina into the conference?


absolutely, but I think Clemson opted for the ACC, like FSU did, because it's easier to win there.


Clemson is a founding member of the ACC dating back to 1953 and that means something. FSU was an independant and joined the ACC in 1990. The SEC had 10 teams in 1990: Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Tennessee and Vanderbilt...The league wasn't the juggernaut it was back then. But Clemson and FSU stayed loyal during conference alignment which worked out in the end.

Kind of a pitiful post. Aren't you pushing 75 or 80? Yet, you're so obsessed with Alabama football and whether people think they are the greatest team in the world. Who cares?

Here it is the middle of May and you're pouting because Alabama football isn't getting enough attention on some silly forum.

Find a hobby or something. Its not too late,well in your case you better hurry.

Lil Billie's looking for a GIF even as I speak


Willy is an obsessed f'n joke. He claims to like facts, but when cited facts, he just tries to spin away from it. I have been on these college football boards since 1998 and have never, ever, seen a guy as obsessed with another team as he is obsessed with Alabama. Not even Rabern is this bad.

Lil Billie uses GIFs to overcome his inability to come up with a retort to a solid statement...his shtick has about run its course.

What does this have to do with anything? A fricking taterhead on the SEC board trying to school SECers about SEC history. W. T. F.

Wut?

Wuuuut?

LULZ ... FSU stayed loyal to wut? lulz you just typed that they joined in 1990 you dumb arse pluck taterhead. And everyone knows the reason why Clemson stayed in 1971 ... it’s well known history. What’s kind of funny is the revisionist history talking points all of you sheep humpers have been regurgitating here this past year about loyalty and love of the conference neighbors and all that sister banging bullshite.

Everyone already knows this but I a, going to repeat it just to remind you ..... you sheep humping sister banging taterhead fricks are the biggest hypocrites, the cocksuckingest cheaters, the lyingeat bunch of sons of birches the college football world has ever known ... and you’re so envious of the SEC, still, to this day ... no matter what you do we will always be your daddies.

I wonder how the history between the schools would have been if that happened?

What? Seriously? Why in the blue hell would we be jealous of the SEC? Parasites like your program that live vicariously off the deeds of successful programs in the SEC is all you have to live for.

Leaving the ACC really worked out well for your program. All you have done is become well paid jobbers.

I don't consider losing to a team every 3-4 years (since our coach has been there) as a rivalry.



When you are a dynasty with an unprecedented number of national titles in the last decade, any team that can consistently beat you every 3 years or so (the longest streak Saban has against AU is 3 years) is a rival. Especially if you share a state with them. We are only one year removed from them absolutely kicking our asses. And I wouldn't overlook AU this year. The common theme in every season they have beaten us is a solid, experienced OL. Everyone focuses on their QB's but OL has been the common denominator in all of their great or bad seasons.

Why is a bama fan even posting stuff this time of the year? It's not football season and your university is a one sport wonder. Just want to feel relevant?

Yes it is.

Think about it.

Let’s put it this way.

Was it FSU’s fault that they played a weak ACC schedule all those years (three or four undefeated years was it?) of plowing through the ACC on their way to poll generated national championships under Bowden?

How tough was Jimbo’s schedule at FSU when he won it all?

Think about it.

Honestly, why the ACC (sic FSU and Clemson) has not won more national championships over the past 27 years is a head scratcher .... especially prior to the CFP.

Think about it.


First, stop smoking whatever it is adding to your paranoia.

Second, FSU - yeah, it is their fault because they voluntarily joined the ACC to avoid the SEC; Clemson, not so much.

I'd suggest vagisil wipes to start with, and if that doesn't fix that sore pussy, you may need an appt. with your gynecologist.
