By whom? Tennessee fans?

Just a reminder: your football team is currently on NCAA probation; mine is not.

The University of Alabama's appeal of vacated football wins hinges largely on how the NCAA applies the repeat violator status of the university, according to a document in the textbook case.
In a Sept. 17 brief as part of the appeal process, Alabama argued the Division I Committee on Infractions (COI) overreached by justifying the vacated wins were due to the school's history as a "serial repeat violator." The 14-page brief, released today by the school, shows the COI criticized the university's history of major NCAA violations as "abysmal." The COI criticism, the strongest yet from the NCAA in this case, came in a brief that has not been made public by the NCAA or Alabama.
Alabama was placed on three-year probation in June, fined $43,900 and forced to vacate wins in 21 football games, one postseason tennis match and several individual and team records in track and field. The NCAA reported that 201 athletes in 16 sports obtained textbooks they weren't entitled to under their scholarships.
Alabama's Sept. 17 brief said the COI response claimed the university's repeat violator status was the "driving force" behind vacating records, and justified the penalty because of Alabama's "abysmal infractions track record."
The COI also wrote, according to Alabama's brief, that the university's "extensive recent history of infractions cases is unmatched by any other member institution in the NCAA" and that what "truly distinguishes this case ... is that the COI faced an institution with an appalling and unprecedented recent infractions history."


hmmmmmm

DEFEND,

Had your previous post said "recent history", I wouldn't haven said anything. But your post said "in history" and you're clearly incorrect.

And I'll point out, again, your team is currently on probation, and mine is not.

ALABAMA + SABAN = ROLLING STONES

Math being the universal language of truth, I'm glad I could help.

Define 'much longer'. This rivalry has become as one sided as it's ever been.

You have a very short memory.
Lets see here 95,96,97,98,99,00,01,03,04,06
Ring any bells?
We've been down the last few years, don't expect us to stay there. Bama was garbage for 20 years before Saban, just saying.

How many of those wins were total blowouts? It's been a decade since UT has scored more than 17 points on Bama. The margin of victory in this streak is the largest of any streak in almost a century, and that's with a two point win thrown in.

Your team isn't close, and it's not going to magically change in a year or two.

Just remember what goes up, must eventually come down. We learned that the hard way. We need a real coach first off, then the rest will follow.

So, you're counting on Saban leaving so UT can get back in the series. That must suck.

I doubt it's much worse than it did back when you guys were sucking on a steady diet of DuBose and Franchione and Shula. Right now Saban has you at the highest level that any college football program has ever been at in the modern era. That's great, but it won't last forever. Either he'll leave and you'll decline, or he'll decide to stay and retire in Alabama, in which case you'll still decline, except that you'll be paying him $8m-$10m a year until he's 70 years old. Modern football history is pretty unequivocal -- once you're six or seven years into a college football coach's tenure, you've wrung most of the good you're going to get out of him. The rest is just him cashing checks while the fans hope they can get back to the good old days.

You must wake up at night thinking phil fulmer in your dreams. Think Bill Snyder. There are coaches who love what their doing, won't settle for less and demand the same from their players. You just haven't found one.

I honestly think Saban is looking for another challenge. Urban Meyer also said he wasn't leaving ESPN either.

Who is Urban Meyer?
Oscars's Brother?

Both of them have a lot to do with Bologna.
