re: Was Toby G robbed?

Ingram deserved the Heisman that year for the South Carolina game alone. The rest of the offense failed to show up, so Saban basically said, "Mark, I need you to win this game for us all by yourself," and that's exactly what he did.
2020 Bama is absolutely one of the greatest college football teams ever to take the field. You can argue about the strength of their season given the idiocy going on in the world at the time - in some ways what they accomplished was more impressive than a standard season, but in other ways it was less, so there are arguments to be made on both sides - but in terms of how good they were in a vacuum, they're easily one of the top 5 teams of all time.

That was a disgrace leaving a power conference champion out of the playoff last season.


Dude, they were like 6-5 or something ridiculous. Good on them for somehow winning the ACC even so but they had no business even sniffing the playoff.

He has one line. "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this!"

I don't want to ruin your day or anything, but all superhero stories fall apart if you start thinking about them too hard. Just let them wash over you and enjoy them for what they are.

At least this is my understanding. I'm not an attorney but would be curious on how this would work in reality once the law is passed and signed by the Executive Branch.


Yes, once passed laws are laws unless they are declared unconstitutional. Judges cannot simply say, "I don't like this law and so I overturn it." They must be able to state how it violates some constitutional statute or protected right. Some judges may stretch things in order to strike down a law they don't agree with, but that's what higher courts are supposed to be there to prevent or undo.

They got the B1G at just the right time while the SEC is in decline and the B1G has ascended to the top.


Their viewership numbers for B1G games must be through the roof compared to what they did with the SEC, then, right? Right? Bueller?
Y'all can reminisce over CBS all you like but ABC/ESPN has been a vastly superior product. It's been great getting high-quality conference games in the 11:00, 2:30, and 6:30 timeslots every week, rather than getting a terrible 11:00 game, all the good games simultaneously at 2:30, and a second-rate late game most weeks.
The Big Lebowski. I had always heard how funny it was, but when I finally sat down to watch it for the first time I didn't enjoy it, at all. It bored me and I turned it off about halfway through.

Not long thereafter I decided to give it another shot, and I loved it. I think the first time it was just very different from what I was expecting. Once my expectations had been corrected, I was able to fully enjoy it for what it is.
The ability to run the ball when needed. I don't expect us to lean on the ground game to crush opponents. What I do expect is for us to demonstrate to ability to get 3 yards on the ground whenever we want.
You watched them play, just like I did. Make a case for them being an elite defensive team and I'll listen.

2019 LSU's defensive struggles are WAY overblown on this board because of one or two bad performances.


I'm sorry, my guy, but if you're trying to go for "best team of all time" you don't get to excuse bad performances. You are what your record says you are, and 2019 LSU's record says they were an elite offensive team coupled with an average (at best) defense.
It's a tribute to both the insanely high standard that Saban set at Alabama, and the desperate hoping by fans of other schools that Bama will crater now that he's gone. Seasons that would be cause for rejoicing at basically every other program in the conference are wishcasted as failures by rivals who are secretly terrified that DeBoer might not fall flat on his face after all.

Alabama football will be entering into a similar fundraising path within 3 years, you just don't realize it yet.


Even if this is true, somehow I feel like we will take a wiser path than, "We give you $100m now, you give us 10% of your future earnings from now until the end of time."
It sounds like you'd better hope to hell that Kiffin can win big in his first year on the job, because once the money in the bank is gone there's no more coming behind it. Cheers!
quote:

At least we almost gave Bama the Death penalty


I cannot express to you in words how happy it makes me that, after all of Tennessee's underhanded efforts to destroy Bama football, the end result was our most successful period in history coupled with Tennessee suffering a complete death-penalty-like collapse. I hope that every one of those fifteen losses to us in a row hurt worse than the ones previous, and that you were one of those fans who simply quit showing up to the Third Saturday because you knew it was futile for Tennessee to even try to win the game. Bitch.

Isn’t this simply a bandaid? If they’re operating at an annual 8 figure deficit, $100,000,000 isn’t going to go very far, particularly when you consider that deficit will only be larger with this cutting future media-rights revenue


LSU has officially entered their "I can't keep up with my loan payments, maybe what I need is another loan to pay off some of my previous loans!" phase of their existence. Fitting for a program that is the equivalent of a trailer park.
