we're no where near as good as WKU. I suppose, based on the champ game last year, he may be right.

Quote:We had two teams in our league that actually lost to teams that were nowhere near this good (Kentucky lost to Southern Miss and Mississippi State to South Alabama), nowhere near what this team accomplished a year ago, nowhere near the number of players coming back.

"actually lost " - imagine that.

Saban's opinion.

P.S. Anyone know why Florida State is ranked #4?

Nick Satan proves "nice guys finish last" is not just a sayin'...

Ya know, IF I made a billion dollars a year, had championship trophies all around the house and all the Bama Wal Mart fans worshipping the ground I pee on, I think I'd show a little humility, or at least smile once in a while and enjoy life..

I watched some of the WKU vs Rice game. I didn't think WKU ran the ball very well. Going to have to do better to have any chance of staying within infinity of Bammer. Am I wrong? How was their running game?

To answer my own question; 94yds on 30 carries. Bama will kill them.

yeah....it's going to be tough for wku to stay within 14-21 IMO....

however, that ball can bounce funny sometimes....

to the OP, Saban is only coming with coach speak since he doesn't have to play our arse....if I'm Hop, I pounce on that as another motivational tool....

Kelly is good....but the 1 dimensional attack is now biting their defense in the nuts...

time of possession is going to cost ole pissy this one....

This game is beginning to remind me of another game from this past Saturday.

Twas thinkin' the same thing my freund...

USM wins, and Ole Miss and State both go down.

Only thing that could have made this weekend more enjoyable is if Bama lost.

Nothing to see here.

Saban talks up every upcoming opponent like they're the '72 Dolphins.

Agreed. You have to really stretch to find something negative to say about Saban. Well except that he's associated with that evil program.

Normal routine for Saban. He could be playing Co-Lin and would point out the fact they finished 2nd in JUCO three years ago.

Yep. Just typical coach speak. I watched Hopson's presser yesterday and he was playing up Savannah State (they've lost 31 of their past 32 games) like they're some legitimate team.
