What IQ does it take to beat Bama 6 years in a row ?


Not much in those days. We're talking an Alabama program riddled with probation, horrible coaching hires, and very low on talent. Let's keep in mind that from 2000-2007, Alabama lost to Northern Illinois, Hawaii, and Louisiana-Monroe.

It was no feat beating those Alabama teams. Tupperware the fraud got what he deserved in the end tho, once Saban arrived. Tubs got his shite pushed in, and sent down the shitter. ORDER RESTORED

That was a great pull for Orgeron, especially at the time.


No doubt, supposedly O went up to Cody's dad at a high school game and Cody's dad was sitting with Notre Dame people and they were making fun of O and O told Cody's dad that he was bringing Cody to USC whether the dad and Notre Dame folks liked it or not.

Cody's dad and O actually ended up being friends in the end though.

I think O and Kiffin could've built Tennessee into something special had they stayed.

Knowing what we know now, that could've been a powerful duo, especially given that they were around towards the tail-end of the big, slow defensive player era.

With Lane's eventual offensive system and some legitimate talent, they really could've gotten the jump on the East before anyone else knew how to counteract it, let alone adjust their recruiting to stop it.

I do think the siren call would've gotten to Lane eventually though, and he probably would've left for somewhere else regardless, albeit after he and Orgeon potentially had a lot of success.

Which ones involve forcing people to do things against their will like the story you posted illustrated?

Weird time to claim ignorance when you're the head of the deflection department here.

I'm not seeing a connection between Ed O, current scandals, and the recruitment of Shaun Cody.

I laid it out pretty clearly. Maybe read it a few times until it clicks.

Always an excuse for any loss. Love hearing about 6 in a row.

If you read it just a few dozen more times, you might see the connection.
