Might be a low estimate. I think we’re going to run and pass at will. We’ll be racking up yards faster than the stat guys can keep up with.

Hope you are spot on but hate the potential for first game jitters for a probable juggled OL and lots of inexperience at WR. LOVE to go your route and see a good bit of our 2 FR RB too.

If other teams with even more natural talent and also good staffs were also doing it at the program-wide industrial level that Nebraska was..then they would not have been bulldozing EVERYONE they played.

That doesn't make sense.

Nobody...nobody...was doing steroids to the level that Nebraska was. It was the CFB equivalent of what Barry Bonds did on a team wide scale.

Jeez...all you have to do is really LOOK at them. They were no more talented than 10 other programs going at the time, it was nothing like the talent gap Alabama and a few others have enjoyed between them and literally everyone else, and they weren't running some new genius offense that nobody could figure out....they literally just bulldozed everyone at the LOS.

Why is it so hard to see what was going on? I'm not the only one tbat believes this, it's not like a million others have not said this for the last 20 years...and I believe that is the #1 reason why those teams don't get the respect that the numbers they put up should have given them.

They would have been really good-great without them...they were insanely, unbelievably, unstoppable with them....just like Barry Bonds.

You keep saying this. That's your problem, you think your the only one who sees and knows things. We saw it!!, yes, Nebraska was roided all the way up...you're just hung up on only them, though, because they were the poster child for it, AND because no one dominated the way they did; but, it was going on full tilt at other places, as well.

Outside of Nebraska, Miami and FSU ran rough shot in the 80s and 90s. How many titles would FSU had won, if not for...Miami. Also, yes, 95 Nebraska bulldozed everyone; but, 94, they beat who for the National Title?? Miami...and, they only beat them by a touchdown. No bulldozing, because Miami was just as big, just as fast, just as juiced.

In 2012, multiple articles were written about an investigation the AP did on steroid use at the college level. They found that it was RAMPANT. That's an investigation that took part in the 2000s...what do you think was happening in the 80s and 90s??

Quoting...
Controversy arose in 2005, when former Brigham Young University player Jason Scukanec, although never admitting to using steroids himself, stated that steroids were used in many notable Division I programs.[5]

Scukanec, who is the co-host of a sports talk radio show "Primetime With Isaac and Big Suke" on KFXX-AM (AM 1080 "The Fan") in Portland, Oregon, made these statements:

Over the course of my five years at BYU, I have concrete proof of 13 to 15 guys (using steroids), and I would suspect five others...And BYU is more temperate than most programs. Being around NFL and NFL Europe players, they would tell me stuff that blew my mind. I know other schools are worse. I would bet my house you could find at least five guys on every Division I team in the country (using steroids)​

As I said, Nebraska was the poster child for it, with good reason; but, do you, seriously, believe they were the only ones doing it, team wide? Are you seriously, not only thinking that, but saying it...out loud?

And Barry Bonds was the only juiced ball player in MLB during his reign.

Not really a fear, just a dislike. I don't like snakes or spiders. Fear is too strong a word. Fear implies I can't be near or around them without a panic response. I can. I just don't like them. I don't want to be around them.

But, if we're going to make fun of fears, why don't you share yours? Other people's fears always seem funny to those who don't share them.

So you've got a mild fear. It's a fear that's real but simultaneously irrational (as are most phobias). It's also not a permanent fear as you can actually cure yourself through education and exposure.

I'm not "making fun of it" as much as I'm putting into perspective how silly it is to think a tiny, harmless animal is the devil. Give it external ears, eyelids, and little legs and its a lizard - something virtually nobody is afraid of but not different in it's ability to hurt anyone.

Second part is a red herring and strange. Not going to entertain that weird request beyond this lol

Thing is, what started all of this, I said the 95 Nebraska team is the greatest I ever saw with my own two eyes. They are, by far. I agree 100 with McGill about their steroid use; but, if he thinks they were the only ones, BACK THEN, smh.

Is this true?
Agree with Aggy if so!

This important point seems to have been omitted from the SEC's release at the spring meeting:

But who would love this more than Sabey and Sabey's direct report Sankey? So I checked a Bammaw source. Per AL.com:

"Fines will now be paid to the opposing schools instead of the previous model that had the money go to an SEC scholarship fund. The new fine structure:
  • First offense: $100,000 (up from $50,000)
  • Second offense: $250,000 (up from $100,000)
  • Third and up: $500,000 (up from $250,000)
"Under this plan, Alabama would have been paid $1 million last year with $500,000 apiece from Tennessee and LSU after the field was rushed after both Tide losses.

"Alabama AD Greg Byrne was part of a three-person working group tasked with finding solutions to field-storming incidents that turned ugly. He suggested stripping home games from offending teams..."

Source: New SEC field-storming rules increase fines

Byrne had an "interesting" suggestion:

“...do you lose a home game?” Byrne said. “I don’t know how much support that has. Is there a way to do some more fines in a little more creative way?"

What you got was Bama-initated "creativity." Source: New policy: SEC teams will pay opponents if fans storm field
