Indeed you are quite right and Nebraska who Alabama stomped in the Orange Bowl similarly had huge linemen not as fast and athletic as Bubba Smith to be sure but Stabler was renowned for his quick release and ability to read defenses. Before they could get to him the ball would have been long...

Alabama had 9 players drafted. Michigan State would have been hard pressed to cover Ray Perkins and Dennis Homan. When Vince Lombardi was asked how it felt to have the best football team in the country after winning the Super Bowl he replied: "I don't know, we have not played Alabama yet."...

Disagree. Alabama would have whipped either one of them. That team was loaded with speed.

I am not an expert but judging by the ones we have, I would surmise this is the best portal class we have had so far but I wonder if that includes the ones you lose as well? Losing Sanders and Gibbs is pretty big but in my view more than offset by highly regarded transfers in areas of need for...

Alabama maintains to this day that they were robbed in 1966 of a national championship by Notre Dame and Michigan State. There was even a book about it entitled "The Missing Ring". As for Tech, my only beef is that the 1952 team with 6 All Americans and an unbeaten team was not given their...

I don't even have an account and my wife says I am not "credible" about Tech football. IIWII

Heisman was the coach in 1917. More than one consensus All American on that team. 222-0 against Cumberland setting a record that will last forever. Nope, not "overplayed" in the least.

After reading all four of their bios, I must say I am impressed. A 5 star offensive lineman who was rated by ESPN as the BEST high school player in Alabama his senior year? Another offensive lineman who is a four star a quarterback who has been playing football for 7 years, a four year...

It is my understanding that neither one of them played on defense this year. One because of injury and the other because he gained too much weight. Others more knowledgeable will have a better insight into their respective situations.

About those two 4 star linemen...you may want to hold that thought.

When it ended.

Well, Ron Zook lost to Mississippi State and Gator AD Jeremy Foley fired him the following Monday with any further ado. He hired Urban and the result was a national championship largely with Zook players. Funny how these things work out sometimes.

The history of these kinds of rematches is a mixed bag even with the proverbial "It is hard to beat a good team twice". Two best examples were the 1959 Ole Miss - LSU matchup and the 1996 Florida -FSU games both rematches in the Sugar Bowl. In 1959, Ole Miss had the number one team in the...

Like I told my Alabama in laws that are Auburn fans: Its a shame both of them can't lose.

Since he plays for UGA, I will manage to root for Bama anyway.

I think this one is relevant to a lot of teams that are football factories but can't get in the playoffs: "Three or four plane crashes and we will be in the playoffs." John McKay

I don't know but I am open to any suggestions that do not involve suicide.

Investigate? The NCAA? OK, I am gullible.

Which begs the question why watch it? The playing field is so tilted in favor of a dozen or so football factories, what is the point of the other 100 plus even bothering?

It has "evolved" into a club for football factories to run roughshod over any semblance of eligibility or integrity.
