That and to see what stupidity you and your sidekick PB will spout. I haven't noticed people coming here to check on rumors. Guess we see different things.

wtf is wrong with you? Did I do something to piss you off? This thread is about talking shit just like the title states and all you do is constantly call people names and throw insults.

It's ****ing boring.

I called you what name? Damn cheer up, you take what is said on here too seriously.

apologies. that was the Jack talking. :shake:

Whether Saban stays or goes that article/blog is laughably absurd. He ain't leavin' Alabama bc his OC jumps ship.

But if he does leave I volunteer to help him pack. I don't need the best coach in the country in my league unless he's at my school.

I'd have to sit and think about the parallels to Urban Meyer at Florida. UM always had ties to Ohio so it wasn't inconceivable that he would jump.

However UT is the ultimate. Everyone here likes to banter back and forth but there isn't a more powerful job in America than Texas. The highest concentration of athletes is in Texas and it really isn't close. What Saban could do there is scary. Especially in a conference that only has Oklahoma as a true blue blood competitor.

Winning a title at UT would cement him as the greatest of all time. Why not make a run at it. I think he's maxed what can be done at BAMA.

It's really only relevant if you live in a world where you are so delusional you consider it impossible for another league capable of producing a team that could win yours. And yes there are people out there that stupid.

But it doesn't speak to strength of the SEC in other years.

Urban didn't leave Fla for Oh St. The Tressel stuff hadn't even come out yet. That all went down the following spring. He took a year off and probably really wanted to take more than that but big jobs only come open so often so you strike when you must.

I will be surprised if Saban leaves but anything is possible.

Regardless I cannot conceive that he could be MORE dominant than he is now. In his off years they win 11 games.

I agree. I know the SEC has won 7 straight titles or whatever but there have been certain years where it could be argued that they did not have the best team (or at least another league should have been given the opportunity to prove otherwise)

But yes, the SEC has been and is the best football conference. However there are schools there that have been competing for 50 years and never won the conference. MU is still in that group until they do it. And it won't come without resistance.

The last time someone outside the Big 6 won was a split in 1976 where Kentucky shared with Georgia. Before that it was 1963 with Mississippi!

If Missouri wins Saturday it will make tremendous waves across the conference. There's no doubt in that.

I was trying to see if there was any connection between Saban and Texas. Which I don't think there is.

Who knows what Meyer knew or didn't know. Have you read The System? They talk extensively about OSU and that program has been dirty for a while. Tressel was in trouble long before anything was made public.

Tressel's a dirt bag no question but it's quite a leap to think he may have known what was coming considering it went down months later AND all of Ohio States behavior dealing w/ it initially was that of a school that had no intention of firing their coach until it got to the point they had no choice in order to escape some of the wrath of the NCAA. Remember some of Gordon Gee's quotes?

The beauty of it is these Big Ten schools like to parade around looking down their noses at the cheaters down south while they pursue academic and athletic excellence when in fact they're football factories cheating away just the same and sought to protect their national championship coach who routinely beat their rival until they could no longer do so.

I think what he means is, everyone in this thread is trolling and nobody is taking it that seriously.

Heh Tressel was cheating at Youngstown St. I think they paid a QB like $100k to go there. Which is nuts considering it's 1aa but they had some rogue booster as the story goes who ran amok while Tressel looked away.

He didn't know he swears.

I believe him I swear.

I always thought if Saban left Bama and I have my doubts he will, it'd be to jump back to the NFL.

Could see Washington or Dallas trying to lure him back.

He doesn't have anything to prove, except maybe that he could use Texas to get the biggest pay rise ever out of Alabama.

You're right some years are debatable but the counter is that they won all those games ('06, '07) and sometimes decidedly so. In 2011 I have no doubt the 2 best teams played but I think the sport would have been better off as a whole had LSU played OkSt instead. But the Pokes have no one to blame. The rematches are always blah.

I posted that same stat about the Big 6 in our football thread earlier today. It is quite remarkable.

No way. Too old.

Agree. It's zoo much easier for these old guys to coach college. NFL is psycho level year round.

College is banquets and schmoozing.

Washington job is getting interesting.

If Saban loses his offensive coordinator, might it make sense to say, ‘hey, I had a great run at Alabama, let me go double my salary at Texas and clean up in the vastly inferior Big 12 and grab another title or two before retiring.’

Peterson has rebuffed USC and Oregon in the past...he really gonna leave Boise for.....Washington?

I don't see it.

The highest concentration of athletes is absolutely not in Texas...and it's not even close. Hell, the highest total number of athletes come out of Florida despite Texas having more population. Louisiana and Mississippi are cranking out football talent. They have the highest concentration, but they have fewer residents in total.

Oops, I was incorrect. Seems the most NFL talent comes from California.

Texas is only #2

If Saban really wants to clean up he will take a job in the SEC-E

If Pinkel wins the title and retires, I'd be happy to have Saban replace him. Unfortunately, if he's looking to coach somewhere easy as you suggest, he would obviously be better served in the Big 12 than in the SEC East...that is, if Sagarin is to be believed.

Saban might never lose a game again if he goes to the Big Bevo

He doesn't lose in the sec either

Except for the fact that he's only been undefeated one year out of six there.

ROFL

You fools do realize the SEC E is superior to the entire Big Bevo right?

SEC East BCS national championships: 4

Big 12: 2



Ranked teams in the SEC east: 3
Big 12: 3


Top 5 teams in the SEC east: 1
Big 12: 0

Not sure I see the Big 12 BCS teams losing to Georgia Southern but opinions are opinions.

What about North Dakota State or Northern Iowa?

Right. They just get crushed by Ole Miss.

Don't worry about Florida, they are in a down year but it's not like they are going to turn into KU or anything.

Not sure what you mean by that. KSU won the Big 12 and promptly got beat by an FCS school. Then, they turned around and had a winning record in the Big 12.

SEC teams that lose to shitty teams finish at the bottom of the conference. The Big 12 champ is going to be the only team besides TCU to have a conference loss to West Virginia. Ouch

If Saban wants a breeze he will go to the SEC-E. we've established that of course. If Pinkel wants to TRULY step up competition, he'll take te Washigton job to play in a vastly superior football conference.

The only thing we've established is you looking like a complete buffoon

Sorry, I should have clarified...

"BCS bowl winning teams"

Pretty sure Kansas lost to an FCS team since their BCS win.

Not even you can believe the nonsense you are typing anymore.

The SEC East is pretty bad. Saban hasn't lost to them since 2010 (South Carolina). He would dominate that division. No powerhouses like Auburn or LSU to pick him off once in a while.

I think its kind of like politics. If you tell a lie enough times, you begin to believe it.

When did he last lose to a Big 12 team?

Who cares? I said he'd do very well at Texas playing against the Big 12. Just as he would in the SEC East which when you really examine it, isn't a very good division.

If the SEC East "sucks". The entire realm of college football "sucks" outside of the SEC West. You are goddamn morons.

3-40

Maybe if Texas had Saban they could stay within 4 touchdowns of Ole Miss. Fortunately for Texas, they got to play the soft part of their schedule immediately after getting boat raced by an SEC doormat. Can you imagine if the Big 12 was as good as BYU or Ole Miss? Mack would have been fired after the first Big 12 game. Instead, he reeled off 7 straight wins.

That is absolutely pathetic.

With a loss to an FCS team thrown in...

Its amazing how quickly Bambi can change direction.


Saban at Alabama: I wouldn't want to be associated with cheaters like Saban.

Unfounded rumor of Saban at Texas: splooge



If he does go, hopefully he has some success. College football is better when the Longhorns are among the top teams in Texas. It's been a while since that was the case.

Sagarin or Cochise? Hmmm, whom shall I trust?

the hilarious part is that neither are likely to be even close to 100% accurate, but you don't need to look at bullshit computer rankings to know that's the case with cochise

(you know I love ya, cochise!)

Sagarin is essentially guaranteed to be right because the laws of mathematics. What fools such as yourself don't realize is he doesn't make up math laws, he just takes them and just applies it to sports. In the end it's a data set just like any other.

That doesn't mean he's picking the right data sets. Have you not noticed how often the computers disagree?

I guess North Dakota State is 22 best team in the nation. Missouri State is #107 team in Division 1 football.

Sagarins really accurate stuff.

UCF is either the second best team in the country or the 38th best team in the country according to Sagarin.

I don't want Saban in the Big 12. The last thing I want is a coach in my league that dominates like Saban dominates the SEC East.

I'm not making these photoshops but they are pretty funny.

I'm pretty sure every coach dominates Kansas.

Well until Sagarin 'retrofits' the model.

I do love how the guy tinkers with the formula all season and then calls it 'predictive'.

I'll put my record of predicting past winners up against anyone...man or machine.

There is only 1 data set: scores of games. You might be thinking that he interprets the values of those scores differently but all analysts use the same data set. (Also, "computers" do nothing. It's always the analyst)


As for if they disagree, to some degree they do but more often than not they're pretty equal. There's only so much you can do with math equations. Standard deviations are what they are. How to interpret the error levels are about all they differ on.

I'm really amazed how stupid you sound. It's almost stunning to observe your ignorance here.

Jesus Christ West Virginia sucks at everything.

How about some real realignment news.
http://www.thesummitleague.org/sport...20413-orujoins

It's amazing how laughable the method of deciding a champion is in this sport when you really look closely at how they're judging teams.

Pot meet kettle. There is literally no forum on here where you are not ridiculed for your stupidity and ignorance. Sad.

Upgrade over MU and aTm./ KU fans.

I seriously doubt you're going to find many KU fans who would rather be playing WVU year in and year out than Mizzou. Kansas and Missouri are regionally accessible and obviously the rivalry that lasted for 100 years is much more entertaining than trying to just "start playing someone new" who you have no ties to.

Obviously WVU brings much more athletic accomplishment to the conference than Missouri but that doesn't mean KU fans like the setup. Most everyone preferred the original arrangement.

haha

The "real" realignment news I saw on teh ShaggBevo was that "NCAA Division 4" would be broken down into conferences which are spelled out here: http://ncaa2014.us/pcd70.pdf "

oh hell yea Northern Illinois

Big 12 was 2-1 vs the SEC tonight. Who's next?

Who was the team big bevo couldn't beat?

The Longhorns actually look pretty good this year. Only one loss with a win in their Big 12-SEC game the other night over Vandy.

Totally understand you avoiding the question. To be honest, I had no idea Mizzou won until well after the game, so I can't talk too much.

I don't understand your question then. You asked who Bevo lost to and I told you they won. What am I missing?

typical KU students…

There were quite a few that felt like the Big 12 lost little in losing MU and aTm and adding WVU and TCU made the conference stronger. Granted, this might have just been bitterness over MU and aTm leaving but lets not pretend like a lot did not feel that way. This was not just KU fans, but fans from all the teams in the Big 12 felt this way. We will see in a few years how bad KU wants to renew the rivalry as the Border War should continue on as an OOC game every year (although it would hurt Missouri's overall SOS).
