Hey -3 You forgot one. Got your arse royalty kicked by Georgia. And that -3? Wow! Even hired cupcakes have given Georgia more problems. But enjoy your new title - what was that again? Oh yeah! Regular season SEC champs. Very creative. Manufacturing titles out of thin air is fun. Nothing like copying AU when your “dynasty” program is in serious decline.


The frick you even talking about? I said sec championship appearance. That is factually correct. Yall beat our arse last weekend, congrats. You’re a fine representative of a UGA education.

Was pointing out both were at a 50% rate after year two. You seemed to want to make it sound like Saban was at 82% and KD is at 50% at their same time frame at Alabama.


My post was made in response to a post that stated that Bama fans hadn't seen much of a dropoff with Deboer.

If you want to keep trying to support that idea... you're welcome to. But few others will jump on that wagon with you.

Deboer is a pretty good coach. But you're not going to convince anyone that there hasn't been a dropoff from saban. There's been a pretty large dropoff even though Bama got into the playoff with a 9-seed in Deboer's second year.

There was a drop off before Saban retired. So do you want to compare Saban’s peak vs what it was when he retired? Or we can compare Saban at his beginning at Alabama to his peak at Alabama. Shula was fired at the end of the regular season with a 6-6 record. Saban was 6-6 at the end of his first season at Alabama. Not much of an improvement.

3 should be more than enough proof, even to die hard Gumps, that the glory days at Bama are behind them.

No it wasnt. Its never like this for any program. Rational Bama fans are just fine with Deboer

Alabama is the 30 year old divorced woman who puts on her prom dress to remind everyone she was the queen one year

You could combine Georgia, LSU, Texas and Texas A&M's national titles and they still wouldnt beat Alabama's 18 titles.
