Cynical

Awesome article. How Nick Saban Revived Bama Lots of nuggets of info. Everybody thinks Saban is this overbearing unhappy person. Does this sound like that person? "Saban, every Thursday, would receive reports from professors, via athletic department intermediaries, about his players’ performance in class. This particular report, former players recall, contained worrying feedback. Some had been letting their pants sag. Saban deemed it disrespectful. So he put the question to his team: You think it’s cool to have your butts all out of your shorts? … Well, do I look cool? And down his own pants went. The room burst into laughter."

A dark time for the ND faithful. A star LB with a fake GF, and being pummeled by Bama in the NC. I almost feel bad for them. Almost.

Bama in a defensive struggle.

LSU @ Texas A&M went 7 OT, and not for a lack of scoring. Tigers - 72 Aggies - 74

Another Iron Bowl in the history books. ROLL TIDE ROLL!

Probably as much as Spurrier had at SC

Not only can Jonah Williams can play tackle, he can cook. http://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/25232432/as-thanksgiving-approaches-alabama-crimson-tide-ot-jonah-williams-cooking-field-kitchen

Les and LSU came to a buyout agreement. http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/25287110/lsu-tigers-les-miles-reach-15-million-buyout-agreement He's going somewhere. He's also 65, and that part of the country is devoid of football talent. That's going to be one tough row to hoe. I like the guy, and wish him luck.

Oh, god, I hope not. He has way more baggage than Kiffin, and, in IMO, no way near the offensive aptitude. That's the big rumor.

That youtuber is great. I get mice in my garage on a regular basis, especially now with winter coming. For that area, I have found nothing beats a bucket trap. If the mouse is in the house, spend some time looking for how they got in, and closing it off. Otherwise, you could end up getting more.

Looks like Auburn can finally get Petrino as their HC. Oh wait. There is that pesky $32M buyout from Malzahn's contract.

Roll Tide! Weird game, but I'll take the win. Bama offense never got into a sync, and MSU had too many "WTF are they doing" moments. The Bama 49 yard FG was stunning... I was stunned they actually made a FG.

Ridiculous isn't it?

If Tua continues to play at this level and/or continues to develop during this season and next, IMHO, Tua has the potential to be the consensus overall 1st pick in 2020. At the very least, he's a first rounder. He has all the physical attributes (accuracy, arm strength, vision, anticipation, pocket presence, etc...) and all the mental attributes (pre-snap reads, decision making, leadeship, etc ...) that an NFL franchise could want in a QB. The only thing he is lacking right now is experience. If you are looking for a good non-biased (homer) assessment of Tua passing, I recommend this guy: Matt Wyatt He is a former a Miss St QB, and presently an analyst for Miss St. He broke down all of Tua's throws from 2017, and he has done some here and there from this season. He speaks very highly of Tua, and during an interview this year, said Tua had the best anticipation of any QB in college this year.

Have you ever tried roasting your own? Sweet Maria's offer trail/sample packages of 4-1lb bags for about $20. They even have one for espresso: https://www.sweetmarias.com/green-coffee-sample-set-espresso.html I will also recommend Peets, either the Italian Roast or the Major Dickinson's.

So, the SEC is over rated, the ACC is over rated, the BIG10 in under rated, and it's the ACC's fault. Reality check. Klatt has argued for using 2-3 different committees. If he has a problem with confirmation bias and influential bias, how does adding more committees eliminate that?

Every system is flawed. Every argument is flawed. Even yours. Let's start with: "If I ran things I'd have every conference champion in the playoffs plus one will card. 8 teams." 5 P5 conferences + 5 G5 conferences = 10 teams 1 wild card Basic math: 10+1 = 11. Try again.

Roll Tide Roll! SEC West Division winner. A great game. Old school Bama ball. A punishing running game, and a suffocating D. Quinnen Williams was an absolute monster out there.

Here is rundown of coaches since Fulmer: Lane Kiffin - 2009. Lasted one year. Bolted for the USC gig as soon as it opened. Vol fans went into mob mode. Derek Dooley - 2010-2012. He didn't make it through the 2012 before he was fired. 3 straight losing seasons. Butch Jones - 2013-2017 was canned during the 2017 season after going 4-6 overall, and 0-6 in the SEC. Irony: After the 2017 season, Bama hired Jones as an offensive analyst. And yes, he did smoke a cigar after Bama beat Tenn this year. Vol fans were not happy.

I agree Tenn should have not gotten rid of Phat Phil. It would have been fun watching Saban crush him year after year after year. As for the coach, that would be Jeremy Pruitt, Bama's DC last year.

1992 Bills - For obvious reasons Buff Bandits - MILL Champs Bama - CFB National Champs (Teague running down the Miami player and stripping the ball is still a great memory)

The REC is the Illuminati. The Illuminati is just a cover. How else can we take over the world with the sole purpose of making sure Bama football is the best in the world.

You've been talking to Barners I see. That's a favorite talking point among them. That, and the Illuminati control/pay everybody off. Barners used to argue that Malzahn is a better coach than Saban, because Malzahn can make in game adjustments. Funny how that noise slowly dissipated, and went dead quiet after the onside kick in the first Clemson NC game.

I quite agree. It's vastly different. I think the only thing in common between then and now is Nick Saban. And we know how much of difference maker he is.
