First statement is mostly true but we do use last year as a basis for early season polls.
Like last year results, pre-season and early season polls are worthless in regards to this year.
Everything needs time to settle out.
3 hours ago, Buffalo Timmy said:As for the second statement- Tua is a really good qb and has shown it in all three games hee has started but milton has played at an extremely high level for 16 of the past 17 games. Twice his defense did not show up and he had to score basically every drive last year against top 25 teams. If you have not watched there offense then please do not call one of the top 5 heisman canidates( per espn) a troll job.
Keep trolling. I find it fascinatingly amusing.
Are you trying to claim Milton is a top 5 candidate for the Heisman, per ESPN?
Per ESPN, as of 9/18/2018 (Note: Milton not even listed).

I must simply disagree and i have watched both. Bama has a ton of talent but if you watch UCF you will realize they are almost always the worst defensive game for their opponents. They scored more on Auburn last year than any other team last year and that was while playing a subpar first half.
In college, there is so much roster turnover from year to year, last year is irrelevant.
16 hours ago, Buffalo Timmy said:And milton is better than either qb on bama.
Troll attempt:
Effort: C+ (Going after Tua is a bold strategy Cotton, but poorly thought out.)
Execution: F (Better than Tua? Who's next on your list? Murray from OU?)

SEC shorts and Funnymaine team up this week for a video:
-
Special team coordinator and punt returner talk about the play:
Apparently, an Arkie player knew something was wrong, but just could not connect the dots...
The play nearly collapsed before it got going, because one inquisitive Arkansas player almost figured it out.
Here, we’re talking about this guy: No. 31, Grant Morgan.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/13093991/Screen_Shot_2018_09_15_at_11.44.30_PM.png)
“The guy right in front of me was actually talking to me,” Brewer says.
“Why aren’t they blowing the whistle?” Brewer heard Morgan ask him.
Morgan peeked at the video board behind Brewer. The returner silently stared ahead.
“I just sat there and waited,” he says. “It wasn’t too hard.”

SEC - Poor Tennessee though, blasted by WVU, with their faithful fans saying they're better than last year's winless in the SEC squad. OK.
That's because a big faction of their fan base is circle jerking over Phat Phil Fulmer being a part of the football program again.

Question for all my Bama fans..
Does anyone know when the next time they come play in Buffalo? I think they did a few years ago but wasn't sure how often they face each other
In what sport?
The Tide have never played UB in football.
UB has played Auburn and UGA, but those games took place in Auburn, AL and Athens, GA.
Bama did a home-home series with Penn State back in 2010/2011. Is that what you were thinking about?
Edit: I just did a quick check of the UB schedule back to 1999. No Bama vs UB.

He’s unbelievable.
Jalen is graduating in December. I don’t think he lasts the season. He likely wants to preserve his 2 yrs of eligibility.
I have to agree. In the second half, Saban threw Jones out there instead of Hurts to finish the game out.
Even for Saban, that was kind of an odd move.
Hurts will play the 4 games he's allowed, and that will be it.

"Following a 41-0 Week 1 loss and a 61-0 Week 2 defeat, six of the 18 players quit."
Unless these kids are playing in some kind of 7 vs 7 football, that's nuts.

i've read a big number in that 128 would love to drop out because it's killing their financial and academic and safety picture.
Would not doubt it. But lure of playing in the big boy sand box is more than they can handle.
The financial perks and PR is too big of a draw, even though they keep losing money.

At least you'd like them to prove it on the field, but Saban opts for Citadel.
Saban does not opt for Citadel. He does not want to play teams like the Citadel. But Saban is not the AD.
I realize people think Saban has full control of the program, but this an area he does not have any control over.
As I said before, from the time Saban became the HC, he has been vocal about wanting more games against the bigger traditional powers.
But if the AD, and more importantly, the big money boosters/alumni, do not want it, it's not going to happen.
32 minutes ago, 4merper4mer said:Do do you think it is fair for UCF to be falsely told they are a BCS team, have the big teams avoid/extort them, go undefeated, then not be included in a playoff?
Answer:. It is unfair. Period.
Now, if you're saying they aren't good enough, that's fine and you might be right. But the NCAA should not say they are part of the BCS system, because from a practical standpoint, that is a lie.....one of many told by the NCAA.
Nobody "told" UCF they were FBS (BCS?).
They are FBS because they chose to move up, and they met the NCAA requirements.
Nobody outside the school forced them to move up to FBS.
There are 128 schools playing at the FBS level. Quite frankly, at least 50% have no business being there.

What it really means is fact set A was the justification for Bama in year one and the undoing of their rival in year 2.
What are you talking about? Alabama won the SEC conference in 2016, and was ranked #1.
In fact, Alabama had won 3 straight SEC titles prior to last year.
53 minutes ago, 4merper4mer said:How about Boise State or UCF? Do you think they'd play Bama? Citadel lol.
Boise State might not want to unless Bama is willing to cough up a minimum of $1M. That was Boise States demands a few years ago.
UCF. Cannot say for sure, as they are busy playing teams like Florida Atlantic, South Carolina State, Austin Peay, and Florida International.
1 hour ago, row_33 said:i enjoy the college season, i usually watch Big Ten games as they are the most covered in my area, along with national games
used to enjoy a dozen bowl games that were competitive and meant something beyond winning a national title
now only 3 bowl games matter and usually they aren't good games
Don't worry. The people who want to expand the playoffs will fix it by including even more lower ranked teams.
If you thought 1 and 2 beating up 3 and 4 was boring, wait till you get to see the sure fire excitement of 1-8 and 2-7.
Then seeing 1 and 2 facing the onslaught by the winners of 3-6 and 4-5.

I never really had a beef with picking two teams for the "mythical title" and maybe over 40 years there was one injustice, the more they trumpet a perfect system the more likely some loophole or scenario blows it apart for the 15th time.
I was against the playoff format from the start. Hated it then, hate it now. Yes, that means Alabama would have never won last year. Doesn't bother me.
Here's the irony. For the people who wanted the playoffs because they were tired of the SEC bias, and then clamored to expand it beyond 4 teams, last year had to be shocker.
They finally got their justification for expanding. The 3rd and 4th seed played for the title. Too bad (for them) both teams were from the SEC.

They should just change the playoff format to Alabama plus 3. That's the way the vote goes anyway. The SEC isn't was it once was and Bama's non-conference schedule is a disgrace.
Citadel. Is that for real? Why not schedule St. John Fisher and have Saban claim it as a quality win because of the shared facility with an NFL team?
I love how these type of arguments are presented. If an SEC team does it, it's disgraceful. Any other P5 team does it, barely a blip on the outrage meter.
Hate to break it to you, Alabama and the SEC are not the only schools that play cupcake OOC schedules, unless you think Akron, South Alabama, and Austin Peay (just to name a few) are football powerhouses hiding in the shadows.
Do you even know how scheduling even works? Do you honestly think it's Alabama that's afraid of playing a tougher OOC schedule?
Saban has been consistent in saying he wants the team to play against more of the traditional powers.
What makes you think other schools want to play Bama as an OOC opponent?

I don't really have a favorite team, just root from game to game. It just seems the rules change from year to year. One year Saban yammers about two losses being ok and the next year it is no way.
Key word: "seems", interpreted as "I did not like the outcome, so something must be shady."
1 hour ago, 4merper4mer said:Mostly I think they should be honest. Why give a team the illusion that they are actually a part of the BCS, watch them go undefeated and THEN let them in on the secret? Just chop 100+ teams out of it since they are not really allowed to participate. Also, why punish a team for losing its conference championship game just to reward another that didn't even qualify for their's?
The CFB Committee set that precedent when they chose Ohio State over Penn State, feeling tOSU had the better resume.
Now, we can debate whether or not the CFB Committee should even be doing that, but they were consistent when they chose Bama over the Barn.

Who remembers the giant whale car wash? Used to be kind of near 290 and Colvin Blvd. junction area.
I remember that. I also remember the small amusement park (Fun-N-Games) next to it that had a Wild Mouse roller coaster ride.
http://blog.buffalostories.com/tag/fun-n-games-park/
"Western New York children of the 1970s might remember Fun-N-Games Park just off the Youngmann in Tonawanda. Another instance of amusement rides in a Twin Fair parking lot, the park’s most memorable feature might have been the unconnected roadside attraction in front of it—the whale car wash."

Good for her.
But, assuming she's an employee, I wonder how her employer feels now that they know she was gambling online during working hours.

McMurphy can release all the texts he wants, the Zach and Courtney story is pretty clear. Urban knew, it was reported to Gene Smith, the school let the police do their investigation, no arrests, no charges. How about someone talk to the police and question their investigation?
Getting a little testy?
Maybe I missed something, but as noted in the caption, the text was released to prove Zach is lying. Nothing more.
"Zach Smith told @1057TheZone he never abused Courtney. Here is text message b/w Zach & Courtney when he admits & apologizes for strangling his wife on Punta Cana trip in March 2015 & again in April."

I hope so, but not likely.
Saban's probably got the campus and local police on payroll. At the state level, now we're talking about alumni. State reps/senate prob all alumni too. The good ole boy network is strong in Bama.
You forgot the local, state, and national news media.
The SEC. The NCAA. Every single officiating crew in all P5 conferences.
The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
The BCS. The CFB Playoff Committee.
All the Sheriff departments in the state. The state police.
The FBI. The CIA. Homeland Security. The border patrol.
The Alabama National Guard.

Pfft. She's already been flipped. You actually think she became governor without the consent of the REC?
Just don't tell the Barners, though. They still think she's part of the AU family.
Pro tip: The Illuminati is just a cover story for the REC.

You see, the above I disagree with. If he was told of a crime, he should have referred her to the police. Once again, I'm NOT comparing this to Penn State but when you see, or see evidence of a crime, it is not up to Urban Meyer or Joe Paterno to investigate. I'm a huge fan of Nick Saban but I wouldn't want him to investigate criminal activity.
This is what the police are paid to do.
It appears the police already knew something was going on from 2012-2015:
https://www.cleveland.com/osu/2018/08/records_show_history_of_domest.html
However, if this is true:
"McMurphy’s reporting indicates that not only was Meyer’s wife Shelley intimately familiar with the accusations, but that Urban himself was copied on numerous text messages detailing the abuse."
Then Meyer is screwed:
"Meyer is required by the university's sexual misconduct policy to report knowledge of domestic abuse by a university employee. According to the policy, "An individual need not be charged with or convicted of a criminal offense to be found responsible for domestic violence pursuant to this policy."
Meyer's original contract required him to promptly report any violations of university rules by assistant coaches to Gene Smith and the Office of Compliance Services. Failure to do so could result in termination with cause."
So not only was it in the school policy, it was written in his contract. He did not have to call the police, all he had to do was report it to the higher ups.
