Don't believe he ever beat Saban.

Most didn’t and I don’t think anyone that did ever did so the same year that they went to a BCS bowl. Also, the 2010 game was incredible until Alabama’s last drive - by that point there wasn’t enough time left for our O to make it back on the field and our D was gassed and getting pounded by Mark Ingram. The only two regular season games Petrino lost that year was that heartbreaker to Bama(hats off coming in and winning in one of the wildest crowds I’ve seen in Fayetteville) and Auburn with Ryan Mallett knocked out early from a cheap shot by Nick Fairley led by Cam Newton. Never said we were flawless or that Petrino dominated everyone but he had us on what appeared to be a holistic upswing and quite a few people were starting to get the “oh shits” when our name came up on the schedule. Petrino may be a lot of things but he is a damned good coach and in certain regards a lot like Saban. The second he hit campus players were back in classrooms, back in the weight room, and generally working their asses off - unlike Nutt who played favorites and didn’t know how to keep a bunch of little shits in line.

I figured someone would just go all in. All worthy contenders.

Can’t believe you still have more upvotes than downvotes for this one.

May have been stated but there are only estimated 44 of 138 FBS teams with naming rights associated with their stadiums. And I’m not aware of a lot of big time programs that have sacrificed their tradition and slapped businesses in their backyard in the face like this(at least by appearances) for an unknown credit union. 44/138 = approx. 31.9%. Not aware of any school besides Indiana(who are just now a big name because they made a smart coaching hire and then went all in way beyond naming rights money and bought a roster) that’s very significant on the list that’s given up their virginity. Sometimes I math a bit - not going to look up who said that because I misquoted DVH’s old arse age. This program still needs an enema. Until Yuracek is gone, it won’t get better.

See my prior response. If they would have just bought a team like everyone else, I wouldn’t care.

You are obviously a Democrat.

No. Eisenhower era Republican and proud of it - you probably don’t even know how the Federal or other levels of government function. No more political talk on here, baw - there’s a board for that and you can start a hippy protest thread against me.

Deflecting to that means you’re an idiot, can’t make a sound argument, and didn’t even read my comments as they were exclusively related to Chambliss’s statements and Ole Miss and Mississippi being racist as hell(which is a fact every southern state deals with). The crux of my point is that Chambliss is full of shite if he’s saying he went to OM for any reason other than it would stand to benefit him the most. Further, I absolutely stand by my comments related to Ole Miss thinking they’re hot shite based on a small sample size and initially seizing opportunity on a front-loaded and non-sustainable basis as they, like many schools aren't going to be able to buy rosters every single year as time progresses on the level of bigger programs as they don’t have the resources long term. Does that explain it better?

Duh. Every coach is. Pittman was actually a huge liar. But I think a lot of people are getting sick of Ole Miss having a couple of good years and acting like they rule the world.

For enough money, I’ll go to the most racist place in the country if “God tells me to…” when I pray too. :lol:

Just admit that they paid the most and you felt like you were going to get the most out of it in all regards. Not saying God isn’t good. But I hope God doesn’t spend all of His time worrying about sports.

This was the dealbreaker. It put Frank in a no-win situation.
