it's between yall and Miami. Nebraska really shouldn't be mentioned in my opinion. I'd go LSU. I think yall probably beat both of those teams.

Colin Cowherd is a fraud. I've watched his show before and it's damn obvious he is a casual college football fan. I wish they'd stop letting him discuss it.

You're just making shite up. Is that the norm on this website?

He is very good. But to say he will emulate (I assume this is the word you actually meant to use) is a little premature. I am confident we will be back to form as soon as next season. This team is reloading as it always has, we just need to stay healthy. :rolltide:

that is indeed a nice stadium.

I dont know what to tell you if you still believe kicking opiates is easy. It ain't. I have dug through Memphis projects looking for family members who have been addicted to them for years. Your own personal experience is just that, yours. There is a ton of evidence out there that completely disproves the notion that pain killers are easy to kick. Just google it or whatever. lastly, your own personal experience with this is causing you to take this conversation too personally. I just don't know that I'd hire an addict or former addict to run the most coveted football program in the country. We just disagree on that.

Pretty often new posters that are mostly negative are eventually outed as alters, whereas most new posters that are bona fide Bammers and want to stick around are not negative about the program. Not talking just this board but any board.

I haven't been negative about anything. Good lord. I'm too old for this crap.

Be honest, have you overcome alcohol addiction? If so, I applaud you. I did as well. We don't disagree as much as you think. try to relax my man. We are just talkin here.

then you are clueless

it was a guess, I'll admit. I have personally battled issues with the bottle and know many who have been affected by opiates. As for my fandom, I don't really care what you think. I don't know why you are being argumentative though. Are we not allowed to disagree?

Sure, but I seriously doubt any psychiatrist, doctor, or psychologist will believe that there are people that just can't quit alcohol or drugs. I am certain it's more difficult for some than it is for others, but it's still a choice. Furthermore, it is probably easier for those who have strong will. If a man is successfully coaching at the major college football level then that is a man with strong will and motivation.

My only point is that, as noted, in my opinion the fact that Sarkisian had an alcohol problem is way overblown. We all know people that had a drug or alcohol problem that don't anymore. We interact with them every day. Whether you know about their past is irrelevant. It just so happens that Sarkisian was a sports celebrity so you know his past better than some of those you work with, or some those in your church, or even all of your friends. Some people just don't talk about it.

I have seen drugs and alcohol addiction ruin people for a lifetime as well. To act as if they are generally overcome is, in my opinion, not based in reality. Particularly opiates. They are very hard to quit. I have seen this first hand.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I do know Saban aint choosing pepsi over coke, ever.
