Spurrier was 6 and 3 against them including 3 SEC championship games not quite enough games played to say we owned them. But he owned them when it mattered. So I'll give you saying we owned them was a bit much.

Bama has never had any in state competition for recruits Saban has nothing to do with that.
The only real advantage he has is he coaches at a school that historically has a lot of great football tradition (so does Florida) and a school that has a lot of money (so does Florida).
Unless your going with the conspiracy theory that he cheats.

If Mac wasn't a steaming pile of dog shyt what makes you believe he would leave for a "better job". I remember a time when their was no better job unless maybe it was for the NFL and "our true gator" left us for that job.

ps: again **** Bama

they do have Auburn, but you make a great point for me, they have advantages that we don't for local athletes.

Better job might be the NFL, or some place closer to his heart. And it is not just him, look at all the assistants that Meyer had, most left and almost none would return, they are not Gators.

We don't have the money that they have and we spend what we do have somewhat differently.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree, and that is fine.

I really want to stop hearing this as defense of the worst HC we've ever had here. He's NOT a good HC. Winning the East is not a good accomplishment the last two years. We would've been at the bottom of the West. We're not a good football team because of coaching. No chemistry, in-fighting because of questionable play calling, perception of no control over the program...these are all huge problems that are almost insurmountable for this staff. It would be a miracle for this particular staff to turn it around. Can anybody honestly say they think McElwain will win a championship here...ever? No way in hell.
Ron Zook's teams would've dominated the East the last 4-5 years.

Geez, Grier was RS freshman here, getting what 5 quarters of playing main QB. Not a confidence builder with this McStaff. Then 18 months of rust. Now QB on a low talent team. He looks to be in the Top 10 QBs.

Baker Mayfield is now my favorite. Half that guy's successful downfield passes are out of a no-time busted pocket scrambling & ad-libbing looking downfield. When the OL gets more skilled at giving him more time look out! Riley seems to know how to work his talent. OK should develop stronger. Could they wind up in the plaoffshis first year as HC at OK.

Hope Stoops didn't retire due to private, serious health problems.

Not surprised to see these numbers. I hate it that he's not ours, but in retrospect I think he (read: Chad) made a good call by transferring to West Virginia. His numbers will be off the map and he'll likely go first round.

Chad did make the right call.

Idk if we will score 5 TDs all year.

FIFY

:trump:

I'm so tired of hearing this bull crap, goon says it all the time and it's simply not true...

http://www.businessinsider.com/schools-most-revenue-college-sports-2016-10/#7-lsu--1386-million-19

6. Florida — $147.1 million
5. Alabama — $148.9 million
1. Texas A&M — $192.6 million

if that were true, why isn't aTm in the playoffs, winning championships year in and year out?

Lets see what we can come up with.

First TAM is in the middle of paying for an entirely new stadium so that is why they have a bump.

Next this is revenues as reported, and does not include debt.

And finally we spend it in ways that they don't. And it does not include all those special ways to say pay coaches either.

Now do you actually believe we could (assuming money is the only issue) out bid Bama for Saban? If you do well I have nothing further to contribute to this sort of discussion.

In before Grier throws for over 400 yards and 5 TDs against Delaware State - the worst team in the FCS.

Give us time, we're catching them quickly......Do you honestly believe that we have a QB currently on our rooster who can throw for 400 yards in 2 games let alone one against any team?

Yes, Franks is perfectly capable. He just needs a staff that won't keep him handcuffed.

Fumbled the ball to Delaware State at about the WV 10 yard line.

They had Grier still in there with a 35 point lead in the 2nd half. Crazy - what if he got injured.

We will see what Grier does with West Virginia W-L wise once they are done playing these teams that are worse than many FCS teams.
