re: Mike Leach says SEC is "nothing special"

I really would like to see Leach line his OL up with 3 yard gaps against a DL like Alabama or LSU. Hell, he can't even win doing it in the PAC12.

What he's done at Washington St is amazing tbh. Dude is a top football mind without a doubt.

And the SEC was garbage this year.

I'm ate up with the conference of the school I graduated from..... twice?

No offense to you personally, but this is the type of shite that folks on this board spew out, and then turn right around and say, "I don't give a frick about any other SEC team and wish they'd lose every game". People need to realize that the conference should be like a family of brothers...fight each other all you want, but when it comes time to defend the family from outsiders, close ranks and come together. You can't want SEC teams to lose to outsiders then turn around and bitch when somebody points out that the conference is weak because it's losing to other teams.

I'm most definitely on board with this line of thinking other than when Bama is playing for a national championship. You frickers have enough.

All I was doing was pointing out to the fricking Oklahoma fan on the SEC Rant that he's a moron for acting like anyone here would be "ate up" with the SEC.

I'm not sure what Leach is trying to get at here. His team couldn't beat Eastern Washington State and on top of that, played three ranked teams (going 1-2 in the process).

With the exception of Alabama, the SEC was down this year. I don't know, maybe Vanderbilt and Kentucky had decent years. But, in reality, the SEC really had nowhere else to go but down.

The Pac 12 was nothing too special as well. 6/12 teams couldn't get to bowl eligibility.

Leach wasn't trying to compare conferences, only pointing out that there was nothing special about the SEC last year. Hell, I'm pretty sure he'd say the same for the Pac-12.

Yeah the put a whole 10 points on the only defense close to theirs in the league. LSU got rid of it's 3 yards and cloud of dust offensive genius Les Miles. The next few years will be interesting get ready gumps. As for as the Okie good on you for beating both of those rednecks' arses.

The SEC was nothing special this past year.

Overall, Leach is right at least this year. Bama won the West by 3 games and Florida was nothing special

Now, I will say this. I'd love to see those teams with the high powered offenses come and deal with SEC defenses week in and week out. Take Clemson for instance. Watson was incredible in the championship game. However, he took a beating. He would have taken a similar beating against a bunch of other SEC teams during a season. They barely beat a pretty bad Auburn team. That's what people like Leach fail to realize. Your QB would never be comfortable in the pocket. Watch PAC 12 games. The QBs have all day to throw.

---

these kind of generalizations are dumb b/c Auburn had a better defense than Arky, Ole Miss, Tenn and other SEC teams.

And Clemson held Auburn to 12 points at home. that's why i laugh when people say CU was only Watson this year. CU likely would have won that game with another QB as well.

and reason Clemson lost to Pitt was two end zone interceptions of watson, one of which was run back for 70 yards. He also threw a pick 6 in NC State game. NCSU only scored 14 points in the game so that pick 6 was only reason they had a chance to win.
