Look, I'm not concerned with the cocaine, pitbulls, armed battery, textbook violations, etc in Tuscaloosa. I mean the list of infractions could go on forever. I also could care less about whether or not UA is suspended accordingly. In regards to Auburn's program I'll be the first to admit we had a pretty mediocre season last year, but one bad season does mean or program is in jeopardy. One lose to Alabama out of the past seven years does not mean the tables have turned. I am sorry the tides have not changed.

"one bad season does mean our program is in jeopardy"
Could a typo serve as a hint about the future?? Hmm..
And the last two sentences make me laugh. Sure, a 1-6 record vs Auburn the last 7 years does not mean "the tables have turned". However, program wise, you might be wrong. The numbers we are talking about here are 12-2 and 5-7. The Tide? Oh, it's changed.
And let's throw out another one: 5-19. You might should give your boy Chizik a fair chance and let him win a game or two in the SEC before you start talking about the numbers Tommy Tuberville put up. Chizik has done nothing. So, as of right now - the tables have turned - program wise. And from my view, the room and the rest of the furniture looks pretty darn good.
Cobia
· 8 months ago
Bama_Babe, if we are going to talk about typos then lets get into a English Blog... You are in fact right. Chizik has not proven himself in the SEC. You may want to do a little research on the Iowa State's previous seasons before you shoot him down. "God Saban" could not turn a program like that around in a few years. The recruiting is horrible there. What decent recruits that area has go to The University of Iowa. This is the SEC, where recruits want to come and play. Granted bama has talent, most of whom are gone. I realize you have had back to back top recruiting classes, but that is high school babe. The rating system is real touchy. You may want to learn just how they rate players before you start a conversation on that topic. Auburn, on the other hand has a lot of young talent. We have a new unproven coach. The great thing about all this is, he is surrounded by PROVEN assistants. Some of THE best coaches in the nation have come to Auburn. If you deny this you are not "one of the boys" and DO NOT know football. You guys had a "Cinderella" season no doubt you were good. I mean you did beat Auburn's worst team in years, 36-0. Unlike Auburn, you guys fail to beat teams at the end, when it REALLY counts. As an Auburn fan I'm not one to dwell in the past. I must, however bring up the fact in 2004 we did win 13 games, and we DID win the Sugar Bowl. Did you? no. Did you win the SEC title game? NO! Your bama team was mediocre at best. Great teams win when it counts. We and the nation know you can not win. I can name three games you should have lost... Kentucky, Ole Miss, and LSU. If I made a mistake I apologize, but I assure you I did not. Those games just put you record from 12-2 to 9-5. But with those losses your record could have been more like 9-3 if you did not go to the SEC title game or the Sugar bowl. Since we are throwing out things, let's throw out this... How many coaches did you actually have during our streak? Four? I'm sorry I normally lose count after two maybe three. Also I think it's a great idea to lower you ACT scores, boost up you student population, have outstanding parking permit costs in order to afford a higher like Saban. An unfaithful coach at that. If you guys do get put on probation for the textbook violations do you think he will actually stay? NO! Saban runs to where he can win and make money. He ran from Miami and he will run from you. Honestly you can have him! I will take a man who will take a pay cut to get coaches he needs vs. a man who will bail on his team for more money. I'm sorry babe the tables have not yet turned... WAR DAMN EAGLE!!!
Bama_Babe
· 8 months ago
Hahahahaha. Thank you for making my day. That post was just hilarious.
Now let me make a few points.
FIRST - Sure, Iowa State is a tough place to win, gets no recruits, blah blah blah. But if you have a GOOD coach, you can recruit and slowly inprove the program. Chizik won 3 games the first year and 2 the second. That's not improvement by any means. Chizik hasn't won a game since September 9. Granted, he has yet to have his chance in the SEC, but time will tell.
SECOND - Ok, let's reread what you wrote. "Granted bama has talent, most of whom are gone. I realize you have had back to back top recruiting classes, but that is high school babe." We have talent, most of whom are gone?? And you followed that sentence by saying we've had back to back top recruiting classes..? That makes absolutely no sense. The point of great recruting is that when talent leaves, more comes in. Most of Alabama's talent is NOT gone. Sure, the OL needs much work. And sure, we have a new QB. But if you haven't heard, we have 9 returning starters on defense. The same defense that finished in the top 10 last year. And top recruiting classes = TALENT. So I don't see how you came to the conclusion that our talent is gone.
THIRD - There's no need for you to explain to me the process of recruiting and rankings of players. I know how they rate players. I also know how you people like to think that players that commit to Alabama have their star-rating increased. Whatever. Great players are great players, and that is what Saban is bringing in. I also think it's funny how you say Alabama has had top recruiting classes but that's high school, then you follow by saying Auburn has a lot of young talent. Where are those players coming from if not high school??? Exactly.
FOURTH - "[Chizik] he is surrounded by PROVEN assistants. Some of THE best coaches in the nation have come to Auburn. If you deny this you are not "one of the boys" and DO NOT know football." Haha. Sure Auburn has great assistants. But Alabama has great assistants PLUS a great coach. You can't win with just assistants, sweetie. Is Chizik a great coach? We do not know yet. All I have to judge from is his Iowa State career. I don’t know about football?? I think plenty of posters on Fanblogs can vouch for me on that one…
FIFTH – No need to lecture me on how our season went. I was at all 14 games and know very well what happened and what didn’t. ”I can name three games you should have lost... Kentucky, Ole Miss, and LSU… with those losses your record could have been more like 9-3 if you did not go to the SEC title game or the Sugar bowl.” Sure, Alabama didn’t play their best in any of those games. Sure, Alabama could have been 9-3. But that didn’t happen now did it? Alabama won those games and finished 12-0 before losing to better teams in Florida and Utah. What about Auburn? They could have/should have lost to Mississippi State and been 4-8. It doesn’t matter though. What happened, happened – no need to pull the ‘what if’ or ‘could have’/'should have' cards.
SIXTH – As for the whole diss at the University and how they handle things? That’s a whole other argument that I will not go into today. Keep praying that Alabama will get hit hard with the textbook violations. As for now, I can’t wait until September. Good Luck to you this fall.
That’s all ;)

There really isn't a whole lot of people to argue with me about Florida recently. Also, compared to Alabama, Florida is the medias golden child, so not a whole lot of controversy.

7-3
16-11
7-6
Since you like quoting your 36-0 figure, I thought I'd give you a few more to savor.
The first one is the worst possible record Auburn will have against Alabama to finish out this decade. It could be as high as 8-2.
The second one is Auburn's record against Alabama since the Bear retired. I don't know if you've been on the planet that long, but I like throwing that one out so we don't have to live 'in the past'.
And the third is Saban's record his first year at Bama. Just curious if you think that Chizik will beat that or not. Answer honestly...
The_Observer
· 8 months ago
For starters, I never said that Auburn has been a bad program or anything. They have been an elite program for the last decade under TT and certainly better than Alabama.
Do I think Chizik will be better than 7-6 next year? Yeah, I do. I am surprised any year Auburn has more the 3 or so losses. I expect them to compete every year.
But....
Do I think Chizik is better than TT? No.
Do you?
Do I think Chizik is as good as TT? No.
Do you?
Do I think you think Chizik is as good or better? No.
Do I think Auburn will maintain its momentum under Chizik? Honestly, no.
I think Chizik is a big gamble that Auburn couldn't afford to make with Saban accross the state.
Maybe Chizik will be great or maybe he won't. But I doubt seriously that anyone is very confident he will.
That is my honest opinion.

I can't wait to see USC 5 years from now joining the Big 12, and claiming to do so because only 8 teams from the MWC were ranked in the past 5 years (USC being 5 of the 8, Boise St taking up the other 3). But, don't feel bad. Notre Dame's decided to join a conference. What with all the holes to fill in the MWC, they figured, "Why not?" Of course, that was just to spite the Big Televen.

What I did find once should get a chuckle outta uze guyze. I was crawling through some inner-bottom tanks on a large oil/bulk carrier. As I passed through each bulkhead clearing the space ahead of me, I noticed a sound getting louder as I proceeded forward. Finally I cleared another bulkhead, where the sound seemed to be coming from off to the left. When I shone my flashlight in that direction, there were 2 shipyard workers making lus...ahem...love. This had taken me as much by surprise as it did them (especially given I had not yet cleared the space as habitable). Not knowing what else to do or say, I simply told them they didn't have to stop, but they had to wear their hard-hats & safety glasses. I mean, what the heck; rules are rules, ya know!?!

There really isn't a whole lot of people to argue with me about Florida recently. Also, compared to Alabama, Florida is the medias golden child, so not a whole lot of controversy.
So, that leaves me mostly talking about Alabama. Today I was bored at work and decided to instigate a discussion with an Aubie. It happened to be you, thanks for cooporating!
Don't forget to release!
Had Ben not done so, this particular Cobia wouldn't have been around to bite!
GO GATORS!!
I'm not sure I am going to be able to, poor fish swallowed the hook!
But the score last year was still 36-0!
And Tubbs still left town with his tail tucked between his legs!
And Gene Chizik is still your head coach.
Anyways, I thought it was Auburn fans that always preached to Alabama fans bout living in the past.
Well, let me be the first to welcome you to reality...last year Alabama devastated Auburn 36 to 0!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
Trying to have legitimate football discussions with you is a futile effort, and there is not point in continuing this debate. I really hope for your sake that you aren't over the age of 12.
Observer clearly answered--and thereby acknowledged--both of your questions:
"...Again how many coaches did you go through while coach T was cleaning house?..."
Answer: "...A LOT!..."
"...who you were [sic] going for in the SEC title game? ..."
Answer: "...In the SECCG, I pulled for Florida..."
So your rationale for pulling the plug on the debate, has no basis. Leave it as is, and we're gonna' have to declare TO winner by TKO!
Carry on....
GO GATORS!!
Ok, I won't stop not pretending that I don't not know what I'm not talk'n bout...
...provided you don't not stop not pretending to not know what you're not talk'n 'bout neither.
GO GATORS!!
16-11
7-6
Since you like quoting your 36-0 figure, I thought I'd give you a few more to savor.
The first one is the worst possible record Auburn will have against Alabama to finish out this decade. It could be as high as 8-2.
The second one is Auburn's record against Alabama since the Bear retired. I don't know if you've been on the planet that long, but I like throwing that one out so we don't have to live 'in the past'.
And the third is Saban's record his first year at Bama. Just curious if you think that Chizik will beat that or not. Answer honestly...
Do I think Chizik will be better than 7-6 next year? Yeah, I do. I am surprised any year Auburn has more the 3 or so losses. I expect them to compete every year.
But....
Do I think Chizik is better than TT? No.
Do you?
Do I think Chizik is as good as TT? No.
Do you?
Do I think you think Chizik is as good or better? No.
Do I think Auburn will maintain its momentum under Chizik? Honestly, no.
I think Chizik is a big gamble that Auburn couldn't afford to make with Saban accross the state.
Maybe Chizik will be great or maybe he won't. But I doubt seriously that anyone is very confident he will.
That is my honest opinion.
Probably one of the best things ever happn'd to you, right?
GO GATORS!!
See link in OP.
I imagine the 'necks are gonna' throw something of a fit when they catch wind...
GO GATORS!!
The sheer volume of enjoyment that CFB fans derive out of Oregon's uniforms is far too great to threaten to yank away from us, even as a joke.
I guarantee that you just gave Kev a heart attack, Mayor. :)
:-)
What the hell's goin' on here?
All my posts are getting dele
GO GATORS!
lol :)
Well played!
Turns out them Federal boys ain't such bad fellas afterall. They permitted my posts to be republished after 12 hours of [@!#! @$%@#$^ @#$%^#$%^*[@!#! @$%@#$^ @#$%^#$] and then some [%^*#^*@!#! @$%@#$^ @#$%^#$%^*#^@!#! @$%@#$^ @#$%^#$%^*#^*#^*], and so it appears it was all a big misunderstanding...
b/t/w: refresh my memory if you will--who's the school on the bottom right?
GO GATORS!! [fyi: 2 !!'s--always 2].
Next up on the block is a fine specimen of Early American craftsmanship & engineering, the Brooklyn Bridge.
What are my bids? Do I hear $200 M, anyone?
Yeah, Ben, too bad USC had to join the MWC at the same time BYU, TCU, and Utah decided to join the Big East. Ole Mike the big Chimpanghese had to pull an ACC type raid on somebody, as if there weren't enough somebody's out there feeling his pain. So, he picked on the MWC. I can't wait to see USC 5 years from now joining the Big 12, and claiming to do so because only 8 teams from the MWC were ranked in the past 5 years (USC being 5 of the 8, Boise St taking up the other 3). But, don't feel bad. Notre Dame's decided to join a conference. What with all the holes to fill in the MWC, they figured, "Why not?" Of course, that was just to spite the Big Televen. Which, sadly, wouldn't be fool'n...much.
....you don't look like the gatekeeper!

What I did find once should get a chuckle outta uze guyze. I was crawling through some inner-bottom tanks on a large oil/bulk carrier. As I passed through each bulkhead clearing the space ahead of me, I noticed a sound getting louder as I proceeded forward. Finally I cleared another bulkhead, where the sound seemed to be coming from off to the left. When I shone my flashlight in that direction, there were 2 shipyard workers making lus...ahem...love. This had taken me as much by surprise as it did them (especially given I had not yet cleared the space as habitable). Not knowing what else to do or say, I simply told them they didn't have to stop, but they had to wear their hard-hats & safety glasses. I mean, what the heck; rules are rules, ya know!?!
....when someone asks you if you're a god, you say...
...YES!

around the plains. Cautiously i might add. I predict youll see a glimps of that on A day.
He has also put together a very good staff which he didnt have at Iowa State. Not to mention a pretty good player talent base. So im optimistic. Do i think we will win the SEC this year,probably not, but id settle for an 8 or 9 win season and a win over Georgia or Bama.
