God I hope we beat these imbreds next year! Zueter is a perfect example of an Alabama fan. I argued with one this past year when he told me that Saban had signed a 3 year 75 million dollar contract to be their coach. He also swore that Tebow was the worst QB in the SEC. They will never change down there and I'm glad because they are really easy to make fun of.
You forgot one...UT lost to Bama.
We have more of both than any other team in the SEC. Again, like I said before, it's the direction of the program. Don't be haters, just say yes sir...because, as of right now, we own you.
Tim,
If you'd knew what has been going on at BAMA the last 5 years, you'd understand what I mean by the direction of the program. There wasn't much to be happy about. However, it's now on the upswing. It's possible we might go 6-6 again in 08, but it's not likely. It's more likely we'll be something like an 8-4 or 9-3 team next year. My prediction for worst case is 7-5, absolute best I think would be 10-2.
As far as UA/UT you know all that matters is who won the last game. It wasn't a fluke, but it was one of few bright spots in last season.
Yes, obviously 10 is greater than 7. For all the great vs. bad atmosphere talk...the point is UT wasn't able to jack w/ it in recruiting and we were. Yes, yes, yes, I'm aware #1 class doesn't automatically equal a NC, but I can guarantee you bad recruiting equals mediocrity at best.I'm pretty versed in Alabama football and got a good grip on what's been going on down there. Having said this you stated that you guys were headed in a positive direction and we were headed in a negative direction. I'm pointing out the obvious in that we won more games last year than the year before...
Furthermore, an 8-4 or 9-3 season is not success in Orange country.

Secondly, nor is it here. However, it is progress. There is more pressure to win NCs here than in Knoxville. That's why Nick Saban was hired. He's proven he can do it. That is why he was hired, but you have to walk before you can run. That's why 8-4 or 9-3 would be acceptable next year. It takes time.
Seriously, guys, I know ya'll have had some down years in recruiting and, as of last year (especially this year), our recruiting is great. There's really no need of UT bothering either Marlon Brown or Eric Gordon. CNS is already on them.
LOL...don't get your panties in a wad. There's nothing to suggest money has passed hands...quit looking for an excuse. CPF just got outrecruited by 35 other head coaches, that's all.
