A team that I despise or a coach that I despise even more--this prediction is tough...

[trumad]

Saban---the weasel coward, or the Chicken Gators....

You turd lovers better start lobbying me now for my prediction, cause you know I have great powers with this skill.

[Forkboy]

1. Do what I do when two teams I hate play each other.

Root for a stadium collapse. Win-win!!!

[trumad]

2. Thing is---I like Bama fans...

and I like the players Shula brought in to make the team what it is... But Saban--- Fuccccck him.

[Forkboy]

15. Saban sucks...but it's the Gators.

I know I can't root for them, so Saban and the Tide it is.

[joeybee12]

28. Yeah, I'll only root for Bama by default...n/t

[cboy4]

22. Yea, big stadium collapse for me.

:puke:

[Condem]

3. I don't know, trumad...

I hate Saban. It was priceless watching his expressions when we beat him on a last second bomb in the 05 Cap One. His last game at LSU. However, I hate everything Notre Dame stands for. It's all about the $$$. If they joined the Big Ten ( a logical step ) they wouuld be relegated to the second tier year after year. If ND isn't relevant, than the fans are whining.

[trotsky]

4. Here's the scenario, trumad.

I fucking despise the Gators. I'll root for a Gators loss over just about anything. So pick the Gators in a blowout (working your magic), and save your voodoo against 'Bama for the National Championship game. Falling flat on his face in the big game is a punishment more befitting of Little Nicky.

[trumad]

5. Yeah---but if he gets into the NC all we'll hear about is St. Nick.....

but it's all bullshit. The guy is a first class prick who has a team that is comprised of Shula recruited players, and a team that played an SEC schedule filled with teams on a down year because of reloads.

On the other hand, Urban Legend basically did the same thing with Ron Zook players.

This is a tough call but I'm leaning against the Gators.... only because them not winning the SEC is equivalent to them not getting a chance to fuck their 1st cousin.

Typical Gator fan:

[trotsky]

6. ...

them not winning the SEC is equivalent to them not getting a chance to fuck their 1st cousin

:spray: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Jack from Charlotte]

31. Here's solution for you....

root for The Miami U. team scheduled to go to the vaunted Emerald Nut Bowl in that San Fransisco Baseball Stadium where both teams are on the same sideline..... Just forget about Big Boy, Championship level football that guys like Meyer and Saban seem to produce.

Stick to The Randy Shannon types and you won't really have to worry about deciding which Big Timers to root against.

?t=1170358628

[nickgutierrez]

7. I'd root for Alabama.

Sure, it's Saban's team, but at least their fans are farther away. Less toothless, idiotic gloating to deal with.

[a la izquierda]

8. Saban looks like my dissertation advisor...

it kinda freaks me out when I see him on TV. I expect him to look directly at the camera and yell at me for watching TV.
He strikes me as a lame sellout, but I don't know much about him.

Other than that, I am indifferent on the SEC.

[Upton]

9. Florida is the best team in the nation

this side of USC.... I expect them to go on and win the BCS Championship.

[piedmont]

10. This Bama fan hopes you root for Florida.

Our guys play better as underdogs.

[Capt. America]

11. Fuck the classless Urban Meyer, Roll Tide!

[Awsi Dooger]

12. Same boat, but I'm more annoyed at USC than anything else

USC handed Florida the national title opportunity in 2006 by losing at UCLA, and same thing this year by not showing up in the first half at Oregon State.

There is no way a team that loses at home should have opportunity at a national title. It screams how screwed up the BCS formula is. Florida blew at home to Mississippi, just like LSU lost handily at home to Florida in 2003 and at home to Arkansas at the end of last season. Yet somehow the computers are willing to forgive incompetence like that. Unbelievable. It should be an automatic disqualifier. Miami in its 5 national title seasons lost 2 games, at Florida in '83 and at FSU in '89. I'd have been certain it was a Monty Python joke if someone was trying to give us a title shot after losing a home game.

Very difficult to take college football postseason seriously anymore, after the old wonderful conference tie-in system was done away with in favor of crap like the Bowl Coalition and now BCS.

Anyway, this is not a difficult rooting choice. Alabama is short term hatred, based on one asshole. I'll despise the Gators forever so denying them a title is the priority. But that doesn't cloud my expectation. Alabama is in season two of the new regime, with an awesome freshman class that Saban brought in, but it shouldn't be enough against a Meyer team in season four at Florida. If both teams had equal talent base and experience, Alabama would prevail based on more fundamental and physical basic football. It still could happen but I always look to preseason ratings for clarity at this time of year and Florida was pegged well ahead of Alabama. That tends to play out as reality.

The survivor should swamp the defenseless Big 12 foe. It will be a boring finesse game. USC with that defense vs. an SEC team would have been rousing theater, but Pete Carroll can't seem to get his team ready for the first conference road game.

[trumad]

13. Good post

Big 12---Big 10.... same thing....

[Capt. America]

14. In fact they are opposites: Big 12 all offense, no defense, Big 10 all defense, no offense.

[trumad]

16. Same in the sense that they'll get blasted in the NC.

[Jack from Charlotte]

20. Teams that lose 28-3 should never be allowed to be National champs....

like one of the many joke "National Champ" teams Miami claims. Let me just repeat that for those who don't believe it could happen... Miami is called the '83 National champ even though they lost a game that season by.........4 friggin' Touchdowns.... And then got to play the champ game in their home stadium.

Another rule... National champ games played in your own stadium rather than on a neutral site... don't count either. Of course only Miami U. has been allowed to play a champ game in it's own (former) stadium. So scratch those 3 bogus "Champ" designations, as well.

Also, if you're in The Big Least Conference (Miami)... and play a schedule consisting of Temple ten times per season and one game vs FSU, who beats you every other year... you don't get to talk about Big Boy, SEC football teams or their schedules or their wins and losses. Also, when your schedule difficulty increases when you join the..... ACC......... you don't get to talk about Big Boy, SEC Football teams. Oh... and congratulations on that sterling Miami U record of 4-4 in The ACC, this year. That raises Miami U's overall record in ACC play to.......... 15-17. (Chuckle)

[trumad]

29. I remember the good old days when you hid your love for the Gators

by pretending you were an Ivy League fan... I use to call you on being a stealth Gator fan, and you never really came clean. But you know what---it's typical of a fucking chickenshit Gator fan.

You telling a Hurricane fan that we play nobody---- but you're a follower of a team who eliminated the rivalry because we consistently kicked your sorry asses. You gave up the rivalry so you could play Montana State. Hence the name--Chickenshit Gators.

Oh--- and the last 6 times we played your sorry asses over the last decade the record stands 5-1. Oh---but we're so weak..... we play a weak schedule.... I'll say it again---5-1 the last decade against your chickenshit Gators.

So what you're saying chickenshit Gator is that Miami, because they lost early in the season during one of their NC runs, that makes them less worthy of an NC? Well then---wouldn't that eliminate the Chickenshit Gators since they lost to LOL Ole Miss?

You Chickenshit Gator fans are cowards and will always be cowards.

[bamacrat]

17. Oh where do I start.

First of all Nick Saban is not a prick or a horrible guy, he is a football coach first and foremost. He is winning because of his recruiting class. Shulas players are a big part of it, but a good recruiter means nothing if he cant win with NFL quality players. Saban is both, he is arguably the best recruiter in College football and can motivate a team like none other. He said what he did in Miami becasue he had to, he couldnt say yes Im leaving with 3 games to go, hes a smart business man. Saban is a man of the process he understands how to coach and win in college, he will win coach of the year, and all his players love the man. I talk to some of them on a weekly basis, they all say they liked Shula and he was a nice guy and a decent coach, but Saban is the second coming of Bear. Well I think he is the first coming of Saban, but either way he is good, possibly the best in college football now. I too hate ND, just because of the favortism shown. We(bama) got in trouble for giving a guy 10K to play here, yet ND get multimillion dollar contracts with NBC and has no conference and an automatic BCS bid if they win 8 games. For a team that has not won ANYTHING since 1988 they sure think they are owed something. Bama is a true powerhouse, we were hit hard in the mid nineties, suffered through probation and near death penalty, had some 3-8 seasons, won the SEC in 99, had a glimmer of hope in 05 until Prothro went down. Now we sit here number 1 in all polls, 12-0 looking toward Florida in the SEC championship. If anything Nick Saban has reminded us what we stand for and who we are as a football nation. Any rational observer would rank him in the top five of active college coaches. In no particular order: Nick Saban, Bob Stoops, Mack Brown, Joe Pa, and Pete Carroll. Urban Myer is good but disrespectful and a flash in the pan, well see what happens when tebow is gone.

RTR

[trumad]

18. Football nation---too funny.

You guy's haven't been a so-called football nation since the Bear died. What---in the early eighties?....

As a Dolphin fan I put my faith in Saban, and my belief that he was telling the truth over and over and over when he said he would not not leave the Phins--- and of course he was lying his cowardly little ass off the whole time. Good business man my ass---he's is a lying fucking coward who put his tail between his legs and went running off to the minor leagues cause he couldn't get the job done in Miami.

Ummm 10 grand?...no--- you guy's got sanctioned because of crooked booster paying close to 150 grand to a high school coach to get one of his players to sign with Bama.

Fuck Nick Saban and fuck his apologists.

[Jack from Charlotte]

33. You Miami U people must have forgotten about Bama v Miami in 1992....

when a 2 TD favorite Miami lost to Bama in The National Champ game by one of the worst defeats by a #1 ranked team in bowl history.

And where Bama is right now compared to Miami....? Let's see... Bama has a top notch team, a top notch coach, a top notch sold out, on campus, 90,000 + seat stadium, top notch facilities, a pile of SEC money in the bank and you have....... none of the above ........ and Randy friggin' Shannon.

LOL!

[trumad]

39. We've lost more NC's than you chickenGators have played in...

[Jack from Charlotte]

21. Flash in the pan.......?

See what happens when Tebow is gone......... With a B minus QB, Chris Leak, Meyer won a National Championship by 4 TD's over Ohio State and while at Utah he went 13-0 beating Big East Champ in his BCS Bowl. Next season he returns 17 starters at Florida (assuming the 2 Juniors go pro otherwise it's 19 returning) and will almost certainly be The '09 preseason #1....

Meyer's resume is already better than Nick Saban's. Also, Meyer is the only college coach in history who has coached a Heisman Trophy winner, the #1 pick in The NFL Draft and a National Championship team.

[trumad]

23. LOL--Urban was gifted with Tebow and Chris Leak thanks to a coach one one toothed Gator fans

ran out of town, Ron Zook. Losing the Zook recruited Tebow will expose the Urban Legend and the Gators will end up losing the SEC for the next decade. Urban Legend won his only NC with all of Zook's players, not his.

Oh and BTW: Did you guys really lose to Ole Miss?

Fucking Chicken Gators and their one-toothed ignorant fans,

[madinmaryland]

19. Any SEC team and the University of Michigan.

[Scurrilous]

24. Ex-Miami Dolphins coach Nick Saban on cusp of returning to Dolphin Stadium

Vilified when he left the Dolphins in 2006, Nick Saban's Crimson Tide could return to Dolphin Stadium if they beat UF in the SEC championship game Saturday.

<snip>

"Miami's worst nightmare -- the return of coach Nick Saban to Dolphin Stadium -- is but 60 minutes away from being a reality.

Vilified for walking out on the Dolphins in 2006 and helping turn a once-proud franchise into the laughingstock of the NFL, Saban has achieved greatness at the University of Alabama. His Crimson Tide are 12-0 and ranked No. 1 in the country by The Associated Press.

Though he failed miserably in trying to rebuild the Dolphins, his latest reorganization at the collegiate level has been a masterpiece.

Now, less than two years removed from his infamous statement -- ''I'm not going to be the Alabama coach'' -- Saban is one win away from returning to Dolphin Stadium with his new team and new life.

The only thing separating Saban from a return trip to Miami is the Florida Gators. UF is 11-1 and ranked No. 2 in country by the AP.

In a bizarre twist, fueled only by resentment for one man, the number of Gators fans living in South Florida might reach an all-time high at 4 p.m. Saturday when Alabama plays Florida for the Southeastern Conference championship in Atlanta.

The winner will play in the national championship game on Jan. 8 at Dolphin Stadium."

[Jack from Charlotte]

25. I don't understand the Dolphin fans hatred of Saban....

He "failed miserably" as The Dolphin coach yet... you're angry at him for leaving as dolphins coach? Since he failed, I'd think you'd have been happy he left. Sounds stupid. Republican stupid, even.

Or you're angry because he.... SAID... he was staying an then left? Gee, that's a first. A coach lied about taking a different job.

[cboy4]

26. Please issue a warning before you show a Gators photo

:puke:

30. Here's a picture of your new coach.........

Lame Kitten.....

BTW, did you know his wife, Layla, is the daughter of ex Gator QB All-America, John Reeves?

Another moment in Gator douchebag history.

[two gun sid]

32. LOL...

I fucking love you, man. I don't know who I like better, you or trumad. You guys make this the best sports forum on the net. I'm still laughin'.

[cboy4]

36. LOL. Thanks. I wish more people would post here, but

we have a good time.

[trumad]

27. He didn't fail miserably---- he took over a horrible team...

and we fans were willing to give him the time to rebuild the team.

The asshole basically called the fans and the media assholes for even assuming that he was leaving the team---you know---the smug way he conducts himself.

Over and over he said he wasn't leaving, flat out saying he wasn't leaving and to quit asking him alone about it.... All along, he's negotiating a contract with the redneck boosters up in Alabama.

The dude lied his ass off and was a coward in every way with how it went down at the end.

Fuck Saban and fuck his apologists!

[Jack from Charlotte]

34. Oh boo f*ckin' hoo.... "He lied his ass off......"

Grow the f*ck up. So a coach lied about his future employment. Big f*ckin' deal. It happens 20 time a year. Did you whine like a little school girl when Shula lied about not leaving Baltimore for The Dolphins? The Dolphins had to give The Colts some draft picks for tampering, as I recall.

Would you have wanted Saban to have answered..."No comment" each time he was asked about leaving Miami for Bama?

Just get over it and grow, the f*ck up. Saban doesn't coach pro football well anyway. Dolphin fans should be happy the way the whole deal worked out. Saban did you dumb asses a favor by leaving.

God you people are stupid.

[trumad]

35. Oh STFU Gator fan....

There's something called integrity but a Gator fan wouldn't know that word if it hit them upside their one toothed head.

So come on dude--- remember the day that you lied about being a Gator fan and claimed you were a fan of some dumb ass Ivy League. Were you to much of a pussy to admit it at the time?

[Capt. America]

40. Testify Trumad! If you add up all of the Gator Nation, you come up with one full set of teeth. Go OU

[trumad]

41. The University of Florida invented the toothbrush...

if not for them doing that, it would be known as the teethbrush.

42. Cornell grad, to be specific.... and you are.....

an MDJC North drop out or MDJC South drop out? That's generally the educational level of your average Miami U. fan, after all. Hope you enjoy watching big time college football in Miami on January 8th.

[trumad]

43. Oh I've had many many opportuities to watch football in Jan.

The last time was watching the Canes kick the Gators ass....

I went to Miami BTW: and not some pussified Ivy League joint like Cornell. But then again, I'm talking to an Idiot from Norland.

[madinmaryland]

45. Sorry to interrupt your SEC suckitude thread, but there are other better conferences

out there, other than the football factories of the SEC.

:hide:

[trumad]

46. Fuck the SEC

[Jack from Charlotte]

48. Football National Champs in '06 and '07 and '08 and Basketball Champs....

in '06 & '07. Yup. The SEC sure sucks. Throw in a Heisman or posibly two,as well. Wish my team (like Miami U.) had a 4 year losing record in the mighty ACC. LOL! Wish The SEC Champ Game could be attended by anyone with a five dollar bill Like The ACC Champ Game unlike The SEC Champ Game which had no tickets available for under $400.
