Orion Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Agreed. I have never hated Texas like I have most of the teams in the SEC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 No one calls Miles old, just bat shit crazy. Quoted for truth. Les is one broken hip and a bottle of Pedialyte away from being the dirty pantaloon at the "skilled nursing facility" in "Deepindabayou" Louisiana. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 LOL Miles is crazy but I like him. I've watched a few things on him and he seems like a nice guy, just a little off the wall. A few weeks ago they had a reporter from ESPN with him and Miles ran a redlight, she was geeking out hahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Saban's wife seems unhappy with Alabama/the fan base there. And when momma's unhappy, nobody's happy. (Side bar: I think momma's the reason why Urban left Florida/coaching for a year.) Sure, Alabama can throw a boatload of money at Saban too. But here's what Texas has over Alabama: - you don't have to play in the SEC West at Texas - doesn't Texas not have state tax or something? So, Saban gets to keep more of his money - you don't have the extreme pressure to win at Texas like you do at Alabama - Austin is a better place to live than Tuscaloosa - you have a whole lot more and better recruits in your backyard at Texas, and you basically have your pick of the litter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the pressure to win at Texas is a lot bigger than that of Bama. Before Saban, Bama sucked for the most part. I believe the pressure of winning after Saban (Bama's next coach) will be bigger than it was before he got there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, Texas is fine with mediocre whereas Bama has never been. Texas wasn't relevant for years between Royal and Mack, and they've had several very mediocre years under Mack. Hell, there is more pressure to win at several schools in the SEC than there is at Texas. Chizik won a fucking national championship like three years ago at Auburn and got the axe.

I read some where she is a pretty large part of Nick's decision when it comes to coaching. If you don't court Miss Terry, you are not getting Nick Saban. Austin is just a much better city to live and have soo much more to offer than the craphole podunk town of Tuscaloosa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, there were other issues at Auburn. This! The Cam Newton scandal didn't help there, not to mention going 3-9 in his final year there. As for being mediocre, Bama has had their fair share of it before Saban arrived 93: 1-12 94: 12-1 95: 8-3 96: 10-3 97: 4-7 98: 7-5 99: 10-3 00: 3-8 01: 7-5 02: 10-3 03: 4-9 04: 6-6 05: 10-2 06: 6-7 07: 7-6 08: Saban arrives and goes 12-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Pomade Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Let's put it this way: where would Saban have more pressure to win a national title next year - Alabama or Texas? If you answer Texas, you're either delusional or lying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuicedH22 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Interesting article... http://riverfrontball.com/2013/12/09/notre-dame-refuses-play-cincinnati-bearcats-bowl/ I definitely agree with the sentiment. I know for sure once we lost to UL, and our options were pinstripe or Belk... if we got Virginia Tech, I would like the Belk Bowl well enough, otherwise I REALLY wanted to take down Notre Dame at the Pinstripe Bowl.... BADLY.... I want the Bearcats to have a chance to fist fuck ND... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 ANSWER THE QUESTION Next year? Bama, 2 years...Texas! They would give him a year to get his system and players in to place and then it'd be game on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuicedH22 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I mean, alabama fans will actually murder people if they lose to Auburn, so that says a lot about who has the pressure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicranium Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Saban brought that pressure to Alabama. They had been mediocre for so long and they thought he was their savior. And he basically has been. Texas hasn't been mediocre for very long. Recruiting note... 5-star LB Raekwon McMillan announces on Monday. Urban, Fickell, Withers and Vrabel will be having their in-home visit with him on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 LOL at you guys calling Alabama "mediocre." They have more NC's than any other major program and almost twice as many NC's as Ohio State. Clearly they are the definition of mediocre. The pressure on Saban to win at Alabama is about four times as much as what it ever will be at Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Also when Saban takes the job at Texas and his wife and/or comments about the pressure being so great to win NC's at Alabama, all you naysayers will owe me 2 Stella's and 18 wings at BW3's.

They have more NC's than any other major program and almost twice as many NC's as Ohio State. Clearly they are the definition of mediocre. Within a certain time frame they were absolutely mediocre. The period between Bear Bryant's retirement and Nick Saban's first season (25 years - 1982-2007) they had only 8 10-win seasons with just 1 national title and 3 conference titles. Since Saban has been hired Alabama's only season without 10 or more wins was his first. He has 6 10-win seasons in 7 years to go with 3 national titles and 2 conference titles. So he's 2 10-win seasons and 1 conference title short of matching the 25 year period between Bear Bryant and himself but maybe having 3 times as many national titles as that span makes up for his shortcomings... :lolguy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
