re: Southern teams to win a football national title over the past 40 years...

23 of the last 33.
16 of the last 20.
9 of the last 10.

And that doesn't include Texas or Auburn's screw job, or 1984 Gators who would have pounded champs BYU.

Go back one more year and add UGA for 1980, or two more and add Bama for 1979.

Wow.

Miami has 5. That is 27 out of 40. I thought it would be higher. But look at each decade since the 90's. Wow.

Thought we were talking about college?

As directly as can be compared. But, in college, McFadden wasn't good enough to keep his team in the top 25. Think about it. A modern era greatest RB of all time but not good enough to be a top 25 team? The others in the list were basically all the offense those teams had and they put their teams on their backs and won or contended for championships, much more difficult than being in the top 25. McFadden had some yards. But so what. Their backup averaged over 9 yards per carry his senior year as their OL was one of the best in the country. Yet, not top 25. There were a lot of reasons why McFadden didn't win the H trophy. Everyone acknowledged he was good, productive, and had some special games against non-top defensive teams. Almost no one acknowledged he was one of the best of all time outside of Arkansas fans.

along with Darren McFadden in my homer opinion, were to this point the greatest college running backs to ever play the game.

Darren McFadden’s 1,000-yard season has been virtually worthless by Matthew Conner 5 years ago Follow @RockyMntRaider Tweet Share x Comment Despite rushing for what is certain to be over 1,000 yards in 2015, Darren McFadden has added little substance to the Dallas Cowboys’ offense. For only the second time in his 8-year NFL career, Dallas Cowboys’ running back Darren McFadden will break the 1,000 yards rushing mark once he gains a mere three yards in the season finale. The 1,000-yard mark has long been the standard used to determine a quality season from a running back but McFadden’s 1,000-yard season in 2015 must be considered one of the least impactful of such campaigns in Cowboys’ history. To say that Cowboys’ fans have been spoiled at the running back position is like saying George Clooney has been spoiled at the girlfriend position. The franchise that has featured running backs like Tony Dorsett, Emmitt Smith, Hershel Walker, Calvin Hill and DeMarco Murray has come to expect production from the running back as a God-given right.

As directly as you can compare them, Emmitt and Herschel were far superior to McFadden and he doesn't belong in the same breath as those two.

We enjoyed some great RB's that 10 year period including 3 of the top RB's in SEC history in Herschel, Bo, and Emmitt in an overlapping span of 5 years.

Not to mention some SEC and NFL greats that came out of that period such as Jams Brooks, Neal Anderson, John L. Williams, James Jones, Lionel Train. Then by the mid-90's we had the likes of Kevin Faulk, Fred Taylor, Shaun Alexander.

1980-82 - Herschel
1982-85 - Bo Knows, Hilliard
1985-88 - Humphrey
1987-89 - Emmitt
1990-92 - Hearst
1990-93 - Rhett

When you’re in shitty relationships where you’re not valued, you develop negative core beliefs about yourself that you don’t deserve better than what you have. And after awhile, they stick. It happens to the best of folks. I’d suggest taking some time to yourself to really evaluate what you want and to really work on yourself. Particularly your self-esteem. Might be worth seeing a therapist to work on that so you don’t settle into old patterns.

This is valuable insight. Thank you.

Thank you. Yes, I need to see her for who she really is and not who I thought she was.

I was in a similar situation a few years ago. It was the first time that I cared enough about someone to not be as selfish as I was. Instead of taking care of my needs, I brushed them off to make sure I stayed in her good graces. After 5 years, I had enough of it and moved out. She had another dude living and sleeping in our bed within a few months. It was the most hurt I've ever been. My advice is to get a therapist you trust and go for it. Try to move on and learn from it. It's taken me some time but I've found someone who is way better to me and for me, but I could have only found it with working out my issues and "forgiving" her for what I thought were relationship ending issues. Also, you need to be upfront and clear with your family. When she contacts you again, which she will, you need to stay strong and not go for that one more time sex.

Thank you for sharing your experience and the good advice. Yes, I cared about her more than I probably should have and put her needs ahead of mine and tried to stay in her good graces as you put it, also. She should have been trying to stay in my good graces but she didn't care enough, apparently.

I know you mentioned that she is insecure. Based on what I read, her insecurity is dwarfed by yours. No way in hell, based on the evidence you had gathered, should she have initiated the breakup. Hopefully this is just a hard lesson learned. Though, I'd bet that you are at real risk of having this happen again and won't even recognize it until its too late.

Thank you. Yes, I need to figure out why I am insecure to the point that I became a doormat. It was probably not long enough after my divorce to be in a relationship.

You didn't ask what to do, but I'm gonna tell you what to do anyway. 1. Make sure all of her shite is out of your house. If she has a separate place, make sure all of your shite is out of her place. If she won't come get it, throw it out. Even something as trivial as a t-shirt. Get it ALL out of your house. She's likely the type of person that will reach out to you in a few months wanting her shirt back only to use that as an excuse to weasel her way back into your life with sex. 2. Cease all attempts to contact her. Block her number in your phone, and ask your family to cease all contact with her. If they refuse, tell them not to mention her to you. 3. Move on with your life. I'm guessing she's the type that gets off on her exes contacting her, and though you say she's blocked your number, your family still in contact with her is giving her that attention she wants. The minute that stops, it's going to drive her crazy. She may show up at your house. She may unblock you in hopes of you texting her. She may reach out to you through other avenues. Ignore them all. It's okay to be heartbroken and still have feelings for her, but the sooner you admit it's over and cease worrying about her, the better off you will be.

This is good. Thank you.

Don’t believe this one at all. No one shares that much personal info on the internet, even Oweo.

Well, you don't know who I am and neither does anyone else, and I don't care what anyone thinks about me on this site, so it is a great place to talk about it. Also, I knew I would get honest raw feedback from the rant community. And, I knew I needed raw honest feedback and not some bs try to make me feel better stuff. And, both sides of it- the you need to grow a pair type and the you are better off she is a narcissist bitch type and the great advice are all very helpful. So, it has been worth it.

There is a lot of truth in that. Thank you.

I really think this is correct. I've started calling her "fantasy {her name here} when I talk about her and distinguish who I love vs who she really is.

Why the hell is your family still talking to her? That’s bull shite

Yep, I hope they will stop talking to her. All I can say is that everyone thought we were an awesome couple and they really loved her. She has a lot of great qualities and developed highly integrated relationships. We were a popular topic in our family. While they knew she cheated, they probably want us to get back together and I haven't told them the extent of things. It is one of the reasons why this has been so difficult. A lot of hurt in both families. The minor kids are also real victims here. I was a father figure - the first real one - to her two minor kids.

Why did you put up with it for so long? Did you still plan on marrying her?

Hard to understand why I put up with it for so long or didn't throw her out immediately. I've recently learned I am a rescuer and I think deep down she wants to be rescued but cannot help herself. I do think she displays a lot of if not all the traits of a subtle unaware narcissist. But, I need to have more self-respect and not stay with a narcissist as someone already said.

Thanks for the comments- both the encouraging ones and the brutal ones. I need to hear both. Keep 'em coming. And, yes, this is totally a true story. And yes, I lost my balls for a while with this girl as I was totally smitten. Glad to be getting them back.
