Just get him out of the SEC for all I care. I’m sick of his cronies getting hired and teams wondering why they aren’t any good while they keep making the same mistakes.

The SEC 's raging jealousy of Alabama is endlessly amusing

Now you know how college football fans in the south feel about Yankees who are college football fans. Because that is nothing if not amusing.Zip City wrote:The SEC 's raging jealousy of Alabama is endlessly amusing

Re: college football 2014/2015/2016/2017
I don't agree with that at all. Sure, there are the gumps out there that think this way. But all of my buddies know that we are in one of the greatest runs in college football history, if not THE greatest run. And we know it won't last forever - so trying to enjoy it while it's here.Cole Younger wrote:In the short term. When Saban hangs it up it is going to be a crap storm.

Explain how he's ruined college football ?

Re: college football 2014/2015/2016/2017
I don't get how Saban has ruined football for anyone, much less Bama fans. Sports are supposed to be fun and entertaining, and if you are a Bama fan and can't appreciate it the historic run they are on, I honestly don't know why you are watching in the first place. As for fans of other teams in college football, myself included, all you can do is marvel at the run Bama has put together over the past several years and hope he retires or moves on soon.

I say that because now every fanbas down here sees the anamoly that is the run Alabama is on under Nick Saban and they think they have the right to expect same.
As for how it is bad for Alabama in the long run, for that very reason. They have become what Florida fans were in the 90s. Spoiled and entitled.
As for how you can't watch and just marvel at it, I really cat explain that to you if you did not grow up the fan of an SEC team with all of your family and most of your friends loving that same team. Going to the home games and away games when you could. Knowing about guys who played for your team when your dad was a kid. Etc etc. When one of our rivals goes on a run of great success, fun and entertaining are about the last two things it is.

TW, your an Alabama fan, of course you don't agree with it.
Let me ask you this, did you go to school at Alabama? This is important.

And they've earned that right, just as Patriot fans have. It's annoying, but their teams are dominant and on long dynasties.As for how it is bad for Alabama in the long run, for that very reason. They have become what Florida fans were in the 90s. Spoiled and entitled.
Again, not unique to the SEC. I grew up 4 blocks off of Penn State's campus, in a town that lived and breathed college football year round. You are attributing things to the SEC that are not unique to the SECAs for how you can't watch and just marvel at it, I really cat explain that to you if you did not grow up the fan of an SEC team with all of your family and most of your friends loving that same team.

As for the rest of it, I give up. Yoour comparison to Patriots fans is on the right track but doesn't really work. I wish you could spend some time around some Bammer fans. It is unique.

Re: college football 2014/2015/2016/2017
Bama fans sound like Nebraska fans. They still think it's 1997. Watching their old recruiting base dry up in the Big 10 (where they are way down the ladder for choice Ohio/PA talent) as they slide further into irrelevance pleases me greatly.
I think this kind of thing happens everywhere college football is a big deal, which (and I realize sports media doesn't like to acknowledge this) extends beyond the SEC footprint,

That's some what true, but there would be less of that feeling had the SEC been winning all the titles as the result of some kind objective measure of accomplishment, as opposed to receiving an automatic bid to the title game based on subjective perceptions. The playoff is remedying that to an extent, but of course there's still an insane amount of subjectivity in determining that field.
Of course, that's part of what makes FBS football so damn entertaining. Football is a game where objective factors determine the outcome, as opposed to sports like gymnastics where subjective judging determines the outcome. Yet the champion of FBS football is largely determined through an extremely subjective process that has historically been even more of a beauty pageant.

Re: college football 2014/2015/2016/2017
If he coached anywhere but Bama, Florida, or Georgia I’d wish Saban would just win 1 or 2 more titles and finally retire. Not too hard to respect what he’s done while still hating his guts. I wouldn’t say he’s “ruined” college football or the SEC, but his existence has definitely hampered the growth of the conference (from a quality perspective, obviously not financially or marketing-wise). Feels like the SEC is in a sort of bind until he finally calls it quits and they get rid of the clowns running half the programs.

Born and raised in Montgomery also. Auburn country.
And I know where you are going with the school question. I get the whole "sidewalk alum" thing, but I honestly don't know how it takes away from the legitimacy of the fan.
Sure, there are obnoxious and entitled Bama fans. But football fans in general can be pretty obnoxious and entitled. Winning or not. Just look at UGA fans. Every year is "their year" until it's not. Again. And they are some of the loudest and most obnoxious one's out there. This phenomenon did not begin with Saban or Bama.

Pfft. Whatever. I've been a Georgia fan my entire life. I love them no matter what. You are right that there are Georgia fans like that. But Alabama fans are pretty much regarded as the worst around the SEC whether they are winning or not. Claiming national titles that don't even exist from years and years ago. Back when there might be three or more different polls that all named a different champion. And Bama claims them.

As for sidewalk alumni, it doesn't make you less of a fan. But ive noticed that the really over the top obnoxious Alabama fans are the sidewalk variety. Most Alabama fans that I know that went to school there are usually very reasonable.
Also, never said this started with Saban or Alabama. In fact I said the opposite.

Not really, Iowan. Mostly I was just meeting Zip's smugness with sarcasm. I know plenty of northern college football fans who love their football every bit as much as we do down here. I do think as a whole we are more psycho about it down here and a lot of that is because we didn't have pro football for a long time. Sometimes that being psycho about it makes it more fun. Sometimes not.Iowan wrote:Are you saying Northerners annoyance with the SEC is based in jealousy?Cole Younger wrote:Now you know how college football fans in the south feel about Yankees who are college football fans.

Lol. Clams this is nothing, brother. I mean this is kids stuff. I wasn't going to say this but now I will, this is a really weird college football thread to me. I have been real active on a college football board for several years and it is expected that you are going to absolutely trash each others' teams, coaches, cheerleaders, mascots, fans, everything. And nobody is surprised when you don't act like you enjoy watching a conference rival succeed and hear their fanbase crow. They don't say, "What do you mean he is ruining college football?" Like they are surprised. They instead say things like, "Screw your team and the mule they rode in on.". LolClams wrote:Goddam, when do the actual games start?

Thing is, everybody knows it's just banter. Just trash talk. And it's rare that anybody takes it all that seriously or takes it to heart.

Re: college football 2014/2015/2016/2017
Nice start for my Wolverines today, an ass-whiping of the Gators despite throwing back to back pick-6s in the second quarter. Lost 16 or 17 starters from last years but these new guys can play. The defense looks really good and fast. Not sure we are good enough to beat Penn State and Wisconsin on the road or Ohio State anywhere, but we shall see.

14 carries, 172 yards
3 receps, 54 yards
1 KR, 20 yards
2 TD's
I'm not up on all the good players in the NCAA this season but I'd have a hard time believing there's anyone better than Saquon Barkley. Every time he touches the ball it seems like a TD is possible. Smart kid too. Dude is phenominal.

Baker mayfield yesterday in Lincoln Rileys head coaching debut.
Played first half only. 19/20, 329 yds, 3 td's
Hope Ohio St plays next week like they did in first half of Indiana game. Doubt the Sooners can handle em for 4 quarters defensively but hey, that's why they play the game.
