Did anybody hear that Saban knocked Leavitt?

Didn't i also read that USF only has two players who couldn't play in the SEC? and only one of those starts? the big east is far from a joke, but i'd love see some actual evidence volmania... it'd be a first from you.

That's what Leavitt said in a newspaper article I read today (can't find the link in the Commercial Appeal) responding to Sabans comments. He then went on to say that Saban's research people should get the facts right. And I also believe that the Bulls would kick the Bammer's asses.

So that makes Leavitt's job less admirable? As if he gets to coach a better athlete at USF than Saban gets to coach at Alabama. That's a ridiculous comment by Saban.

I agree. It has to be even tougher coaching dumb players.

USF Coach Slams Remarks On Academic Standards

there's the link. Go figure Bammers would make stuff up.

Yeah this is what I heard last night. Saban fits there

"Of 110 players, we have two nonqualifiers, one starts, one doesn't," Leavitt said. "The Big East doesn't allow nonqualifiers. For a guy to make a mistake like that is not right.

Just more of a reason for me to hate Bama.

And if every thing saban said is true. It just proves what a better coach Leavitt is than Saban. he took the players who couldn't "get in and settled for less" and made them into a top 10 team. Can't say that for Saban.

i do think the big east is a joke. yes they have w. virginia who is pretty good, and we all know s. florida is good. but compared to the sec from top to bottom they are a joke.

seriously, who is all that good in the SEC this year? take out LSU and maybe florida who have a bunch of scrubs who are just going to beat the crap out of each other. you don't even know anything about the big east teams. how many have you actually seen play?

s. florida's rb tried to get into bama for 2 years and couldn't. so no i'm not wrong.

I want evidence of the second attempt to go to bama. He failed academically once (2005) and went to Hargrave, where NUMEROUS UT players have gone to meet requirements. When he came out of Hargrave he attended a community college in the fall, then went to USF.

Again, you're wrong. After completing his courses at Hargrave Military Academy, he was cleared to play the following year at Alabama. However, after Mike Shula was pink-slipped in November, he then tranferred to South Florida (started his classes in January).

As I've said before, the Big East doesn't accept non-qualifiers or partial qualifiers. The SEC does in some cases. Like you, Nick Saban was simply ill-informed regarding South Florida's eligibility regulations.

He won't find any, volfanbill. That information flew right of his a$$.

we do have some anal posters on here. Sorry to the guys who i got all riled up. i live in bama and was talking to some hardcore bama fans who i work with(one which her husband played on the '92 NC team), and they were talking about how they tried to get that guy to come there for 2 years. sorry, i was just saying what they were talking about.

sorry for not being all knowing about everything. i will stick to stupid threads such as the countup game, word association II, the question game, etc, because i'm def. not smart like you guys.

no offense mania, one of my pet peeves is ill informed posters. Give some substance to your opinions. Even if ya don't know stuff, sometimes Google can work wonders. Don't have opinions just because you want them.

Rutgers is not a bad team, Louisville is so-so, I'll freely admit I can't explain UConn's 5-0 start (even though they've not truly been tested it). You can't compare conferences to the SEC. But the Big East isn't a complete joke. just understand that. Pitt has been there lately, they just made the worst coaching hire in D1 football.

Mike Ford failed to qualify two different times at Alabama. I follow all Bama recruiting pretty closely. Chris Smelley wanted to come to Alabama but Mike Shula wouldn't offer him. He lived less than 3 miles from Bryant Denny and has been a life long Bama fan. Saban is just stating that USF has a recruiting advantage over SEC schools, he wasn't knocking Leavitt's coaching ability.

The only advantage he has over the SEC is that he's in Florida. Saban made a stupid comment without all the facts.

did he fail after going to hargrave? if so, again, show evidence. I've never seen or heard that anywhere

Mike Ford could not qualify here but he could at USF. That is an advantage over us and other SEC Schools. It's the same reason that we have an advantage over Vanderbilt. If you can't understand that maybe you need to go to USF.

you've also been proven wrong many times. Just back it up that he still didn't qualify after his year at Hargrave
