Welcome to the SEC.
There is no way a team with 3* athletes only is going to compete well in this league. You're going to have recruit in the top 25 at worst for 2-3 years before you'll win more than 50% of your SEC games. Granted you can do a lot of shi* with just a great QB and some fast receivers but it won't hold up over time if that's all you got.

It doesn't matter how old you are to gauge the level animosity between the two fanbases.
If you're not over 22 or so you have little personal knowledge of the UT rivalry. Every person born in the state of Alabama has to declare AU or Bama. Even people that just moved here have to study it and declare within their first year to be considered a friend to anyone lol. So, the AU rivalry is easily more recognizable by young Bama fans. But there is a latent dislike for UT just below the surface.

The UT rivalry is more about history, the auburn rivalry is about hate. But like was said, it does have some geographical reference as well
Its only a matter of time before UTk is a good team again. The last 2 times I've been to Knoxville their fans were very nice and almost embarrassed of their team. But I also went in 1982 when they beat us up there for the first time in like 10yrs. They went nuts and were as obnoxious as USCe fans last year. Don't get me wrong, I love the rivalries including the AU one but if there is little UT hatred sensed at this time its because we've won 6 in a row.

I sense a lot of fake hatred for UT from Bama fans.
You are either real young or you just don't know us like you think. UT/Bama was the real rivalry in the first half of 1900's. We didn't even play AU until 47' after 40+yrs between the last one.
More recently we hated Fat Phil for turning us in on the Albert Means fiasco because he got out bid. I'm happy that we don't do that anymore but who likes a snitch.

Missouri's recruiting has been atrocious in 2011 and so far in 2012. I suspect they get worst before they get better. TA&M is to 10 this year and has been in the top 30 over the last few years. The might catch Bama and LSU in an off year in 3-4 yrs. I'd go with the Aggies. They have better facilities anyway than Mizzou (I think that's right).

Well who is LSU's biggest rivalry? The Pigs? You guys don't have a good enough instate program to hate on.
re: Worst Play Call In Your School's History?
Posted by bama1989 on 1/24/12 at 6:48 am
Bama 4th qtr comeback from 4 TD's down and got called out of bounds vs PSU 1983 losing 28-34. Last TD was clearly in bounds after replay but that was long before they could change the call with video.
Next one was 64' (Jan 1 65') orange bowl. Namath swears he got in endzone on 4th down QB sneak play but the video of the day is not clear. I do remember as a kid hearing about it a lot.

I noticed that a few years ago and was shocked. But then I started checking into it and it's pretty good comparatively for that era. The game changed when San Fran (Montana then Young) started throwing shorter passes and to an open spot vs an open receiver. Interesting evolution of the game.

I like long shots UF(35:1) and UTx (30:1). At some point those teams will come back. They have waaay to much talent not to. Both have relatively easy schedules. That would the only bet on the board worth a gamble IMO. I like Bama at 7/1 I just don't think its our year.

Florida is a sleeping giant. They have a ton of talent down there if they ever get their offense going they will be a contender.

Either that, or go to an official 4 team playoff. If you do that, I could care less about rematches. They will happen regularly,
With 2 other options. Either we kill the SECCG or the loser can not be one of the 4 teams. In 08' and 09' the SECWest champ or the SECEast champ has to beat the other twice in a row to advance. So you know 2 games in a row with the same opponent. That will SUCK big time.

The stronger the SEC becomes, with more parity throughout, the more chance there is for 2 other conferences to match up in a BCS championship game, even if the SEC has the best or the best 2 teams in the country. It WILL happen if a playoff system isn't implemented. It's just a matter of when.
4 teams max. I am a huge fan of the bowl system. Anything more would ruin it.

So now that you've enjoyed the benefits of a rematch you don't want anymore of them in the future is that right? I didn't hear any protests from Bama fans prior to the NCG. Hypocritical Gumps.
I'm on record complaining prior to Nov5 on a different board. The talking heads were discussing the potential of a rematch if LSU lost in a close one. I posted it would suck for all the reasons you guys did in reverse. Rematches suck for the winner of the first game.
Post rematch opinion
Posted by bama1989 on 1/22/12 at 9:04 am
Prior tot he BCSNCG The LSU fans had a hard time admitting that the loser in a close game has a psychological advantage in a rematch. What is everyone's opinion now that the game is over? Its important because even though it helped us this year, I want as few of them as possible in the future. If we get to a 4 team playoff and still have the SECCG the winner of that game could play the loser again in a rematch the very next week and that would SUCK.
I do not want to play Florida again after the 09' SECCG, and they wouldn't want to replay us after the 08' SECCG but both would have happened in a 4 team playoff.

Deny it all you want but the facts are on my side...
How does KY BB get away from this. I actually hate the rule. The NBA should make the kids wait 3 yrs like the NFL. They might get more mature kids in the league. CBB would definitely have better play. I honestly hate it for KY. I'd like to see what their Calipari could do with 3 yrs of these top 5* guys they get every year.

I have to respectfully disagree. Calls were missed on both sides of the ball, so don't pin that "hard to get a call in Rupp" on today's game. And we had at least two guys come off the bench and play well despite some foul trouble with guys like MKG and Jones
Maybe. But UK shot 40 FT's today and definitely got the bulk for the calls. I don't ever like losing but I was proud of our team. UK is a great talented team and being in the game only 2 down with 30 secs in Rupp arena is making a statement that we can play with anyone.

Posted by bama1989 on 1/21/12 at 8:38 am
Arkansas almost lost to Vandy this year and Ole Miss gave them a tough game not to mention TA&M. Then they got curb stomped by Bama and LSU like everyone else. I don't understand what all the fuss is Fayetteville. You're not going to always win the close ones. I bet Arky loses one or two they aren't supposed to this year.
re: Anyone ever been to every SEC school?
Posted by bama1989 on 1/21/12 at 8:27 am
All of them several times.
My favorite over the last few years has been USCe believe it or not. Lots of energy there. They sell out in bad years so their fan base is really behind them now. They were obnoxious and we got cussed and things thrown at us but to me that's all part of the fun.
LSU has always been tamer than its reputation when I've been there (at least 7-8 times) but still fun. UGA/UT/OleMiss/UF/AU are all great.
Vandy/MSU/UK/Arky are not SEC type football crazy. More like Big East or MAC. I didn't go to Arky in 10' so maybe its better now but they should support their team in bad years too.
If you haven't been to T-town since we added on you're missing out. 101k fans. The excitement level will blow you out in big games. There's just not that many big games but always sell out.
I can't wait to go to TA&M and Mizzou.

re: Updyke refuses plea deal
Posted by bama1989 on 1/21/12 at 8:09 am
If 13 yrs is a plea bargain offer he needs to get it the hell out of Lee county. That's obviously as biased a place as he could get a trial. I could just see some Auburn fan on trial in Tuscaloosa for peeing on Coach Bryant's statue. They'd probably send him to the electric chair. Updyke will not get anything close to a fair trial there.
