re: Who Lost The Weekend The Most?
Posted by Gravy_Train on 9/5/23 at 7:17 pm
Dave Aranda. He lost his starting QB, lost confidence in firing Grimes over the summer, lost opportunity to raid the portal, and we can already chalk up this coming Saturday as a loss to Utah.
Big12 glasses on, but a team that was once defined only by snap count and scoreboard (Briles) became a ...

re: I've heard for years that Alabama gets preferential treatment from the refs

[quote]Alabama was flagged more times in the game vs Texas than they have been in any game since 2002, but some folks still going to whine about the refs

This statement just underscores how undisciplined and sloppy Bama plays and it finally took a marginally-incompetent set of offici...

Because by then, Trent Richardson had already racked up five cars and six baby's mommas? :rotflmao:

[quote]Also, I know the program is rolling now but look how he’s still killing it under NIL despite the fact that players usually will have multiple 4 and 5 stars ahead of them on the depth chart. NIL should have taken away his advantage, if what you are saying is true.[/quote]
He's among the fas...

[quote]Have teams other than Alabama and Georgia considered getting better?[/quote]
C'mon, you know how this works-- the recruiting hot beds have only narrowed while those at the top receive offers from everybody, including those Johnny-came-latelys with CFP success, NFL drafts, NIL deals, coachi...

You can be laser-focused and execute to the best of abilities on everything from dorm room discipline to nutrition, while, at the same time, benefit from a few "shrewd bent rules" or ulterior advantages *outside the program* to get recruiting results within a new-ish venue.
Those aren't benefits ...

[quote]Sark has been preparing his team all Summer for this game. He is the best offensive play caller in the game today. They will keep Bama’s D on their toes all game long. They will also have a much improved defense themselves.[/quote]
Since this is a home-and-home series, with Texas finally f...

[quote]Your inferiority complex is showing, again.[/quote]
Inferiority complex, again? I have 12 posts on this board. The programs are pretty far apart in terms of hardware, fanbase size and net worth... I assure you it's not out of jealousy.
You seem to be a bit touchy on any criticisms of S...

The more interesting question I have about the early days of Saban is who he had blackmailed from the SEC and NCAA offices to start dropping bags for annual recruiting riches? He got those classes rolling at a time when the NCAA still thought they had nuts and were laying infractions for secondary ...

Why "respect" them when you recruit against them? Nobody deserves such grace-- you expecting some free Chick-Fil-A nuggets at their tailgates or something?...

[quote]Both programs are gonna be pretty terrible next year, unfortunately. It may be enough to kill any little momentum they get by joining the SEC and relegate them to mid-tier status if they don't get their shite together quickly.

[quote]That #1 class though.[/quote]
Aggy spent a LOT on FedEx envelopes and future roster attrition to make that haul work. Congrats for playing on Saban and Smart's level, but I understand Jimbo raised the bar on the price for '22. Is inflation still transitory?...
re: Big 12 2-0 versus SEC
Posted by Gravy_Train on 1/1/22 at 11:51 pm
Conference bandwagoning is still bizarre to me, and even moreso in the CFP era, as parity slips away to only the programs that have been there before.
Besides, nobody in the B12 has a full roster built on 4+ years of recruiting improprieties and bought classes. There's a reason UA and UGA have b...

I don't know, did they? I generally avoid Waco for those reasons, sports bar shootups among rival biker gangs too.

Yeah, been lurking for a decade or so, figured I should join the party. Mechanical systems and building automation aren't exactly foreign to me and maybe I could make a sale at the same time. Where are the oil patch guys?...
