Given the above, I thought that the defense would be clearly superior to last year's unit. It has NOT been, although it looks as if they are getting better at the right time. Will Anderson FULLY belongs in the Heisman conversation and freshman Dallas Turner is looking really good on the other side. The DL played what was easily their best game last night.
The Heisman is generally considered an Offense award, and Bryce Young is definitely a contender.
Without BY, Bama is watching the SECCG, not playing in it.
On 11/28/2021 at 6:41 AM, Bill from NYC said:The only way for us to possibly beat Georgia is to force mistakes and turnovers on defense and for Bryce (and of course Saban) to work their magic. I expect Bama to be getting at least 7, and it would be a far bigger number if Saban was not taken into account. I mean, how many points will bettors want to spot Nick Saban?
You said it. It happened.
Pick 6 to boot.
Defense looked solid this game.
So did the Oline.
All the young guns starting to jell, and stepping up.
Even if Bama does not win the NC this year, the foundation to next years team is looking bad ass.

The Lane Kiffin showing a Louisiana license plate part. Is he trolling he'd be interested in LSU or is there a meaning to the plate itself that I'm not aware of?
That's part of it.
Nobody but Kiffin knows what it means.
But that does not stop people from speculating what it could mean.
Tweets like that have the potential to blow up messages boards and Twitter with everybody trying to find the hidden meaning.
Go look at some of the comments under his Tweet:
"Are you going to be next LSU coach?"
"That better be a recruiting trip and not a job interview...... "
"so it’s happening"
"Please...please be a sign!"
FYI: He tweeted a Texas license plate 2 hours later. Again, no comments. Just a license plate.

Got to admit.
Did not see this one coming.
This could turn out to be a good hire.
But $10M -15M a year?
That's a hefty bet.

Rumors are here in Oklahoma.... Riley protested the move to the SEC. Why would Oklahoma need to go to a conference like the SEC?
$$$$$$$
3 minutes ago, ArdmoreRyno said:They practically ran the Big XII. Top 10 recruiting classes and OU has enough money it shouldn't have been a huge increase for their market.
It will.
That's why Texas is willing to dump the Longhorn Network to join the SEC.

Everyone waiting on LSU
LSU is about to be caught flat footed.
Jimbo is not happening.
Napier is gone.
Tucker is off the table.
Aranda and Stoops are not sure things.
What would a coaching search be without Kiffin trolling:

That game (Auburn) was something. If Bama doesn't bring their A++ game against Georgia, they won't have a chance.
More like A++++ with some voodoo thrown in. Hoping UGA pulls a Kirby.
The Bama o-line is just brutal.
And I am still not impressed with O'Brien.

Not sure they had any. Mulldog reportedly hated recruiting.
He wasn't a fan of it.
However, in his defense, he did try to clarify his position:
“First, I’d like to touch on something for all the Gator Nation and all our great fans, something that was taken out of context in Monday’s press conference. As it pertains to recruiting, our staff recruits nonstop. We grind at recruiting all day every day,” Mullen said.
“We're always recruiting and working the best to get great players that fit the Gator Standard and bring them here to our program. As I said on Monday, we just weren't going to get into the specifics of everything we do in recruiting and how we do all of that until after the season.”
Now, if you need some depth in the shoe throwing portion of the game ....

I don't follow them closely enough to know what is wrong there, but their being so bad does puzzle me.
Fulmer is/was corrupt, and drove the program off the road, into the ditch, and, with help from the boosters, off a cliff.
Good place for it.
4 hours ago, Bill from NYC said:Imo, Tennessee is easily one of the best and most beautiful states in America. It would seem to be a highly desireable university to attend.
The state of Tenn might be one of the most beautiful in your opinion, but UTenn is located in Knoxville.
In my opinion, the Chattanooga area is much nicer.

"(Pruitt Attorney Michael) Lyons added in his letter: "We have learned that UT upper administration was involved in or encouraged impermissible recruiting tactics. We have also learned that several prominent UT boosters have been and are involved in efforts to impermissibly recruit student athletes across multiple sports spanning multiple coaching regimes -- some of which are still in place."

He did have something to do with bringing in Joe Burrow and Joe Brady to coordinate the offense and recruiting the players like Jamar Chase etc. So no it wasn't just lucking out, he gets the credit for football success.
Even Chizik brought in a handful of good players to Auburn.
That does not mean both are a good HC.
After losing to UK this year, the Ogre admitted he was "surprised" by the Kentucky run game.
Seriously?
That's Dick Juaron level of stupidity, and WTF-ness.
And you think the LSU admin is making a mistake of getting rid of him.
7 hours ago, Bill from NYC said:I will not shed tears if they take O'Brien. I don't despise him mind you but he is no Sark. This I can say for sure.
Was not a fan of the BOB hire from the beginning.
Feel free to take the Oline coach with him.
As Bills fans, are we surprised the Bama Oline is having issues?

Figured this was coming, surprising that they will let him finish the season. They are completely non contenders for Arch Manning with Ed in the house.
Until a new HC is named, it won't matter if he stays or not.
And being about halfway through the current season, naming a new HC now will create a bigger distraction for the team.

I personally don’t think it really went beyond On field results.Everything that has been reported would have been ignored had he continued to win. LSU suddenly found a conscience? No. What was unacceptable was going 9-8 the last two years.
The Ogre is Chizik 2.0 for sure.
Other than that one special year with a superstar transfer QB, neither coach did squat the other 4 years.
However, with the lawsuit and other off the field behaviors (threatening boosters to a fight is always a good choice for job security!), I believe the Ogre was on a much shorter lease going into this year than anybody else realized.

Id say it is still pretty good. Its probably very close to the Pac 12 overall. Losing Oklahoma hurts bad... and while Texas is probably a money-getter, their football program has been mediocre for more than a decade.
And that's the rub.
TX and OU were basically the TV money generators for that conference.
With them gone, who's left?
Okie State and WVU?
Sure, they will add Cincinnati, Salt Lake, Orlando, and retain the Houston markets, but I doubt those markets will be able to make up for the loss.
If IIRC, out of all the P5 conferences now, the Big 12 has the smallest TV deal.
And the Big 12 was not included in the new PAC 12, Big 10, and ACC alliance.
The Big 12 status as a "power" conference is going to take a massive hit.
IMO, once all the moves have been made, the new Big 12 is going to be on par with old Big East conference.
And we know how well that worked out.

there goes Houston, UCF, and Cincinnati
Once TX and OU leave the Big 12, shoudn't we start referring to the Big 12 as the new G6 conference?

SEC Shorts does it again.

Not at all.
What happened to Clemson last night is a great example of what usually happens when a team has the guts to step out of a pansy ass conference and play a top team. In fact, I think that Clemson will still reach the playoffs because their schedule is just that weak. They will probably win out the rest of their games by scores of 50-0.
Bill, love your enthusiasm.
The UGA D looks legit, but UGA is still being coached by Kirby.
And both QBs looked like trash.
Both teams better hope it was nothing more than opening game jitters, or the season might spiral out of control for both of them.
2 hours ago, Bill from NYC said:I don't know what's up with LSU (coaching?), but obviously they are a historically good team.
Ya think?
It wasn't apparent last year?
The Ogre is Chizik 2.0 until proven other wise.

Looks like LB Chris Allen is gone for the year.
LB To'o To'o appears to be ok.
Happy for the win, but it could been an ugly way to start the season.
Meanwhile, over at LSU, Orgeron was again showing his classy side:
Orgeron is looking like the LSU version of Chizik.
At least Chizik was not a azz clown like this guy.
