Cynical

Syracuse screwed themselves.

I have to admit, this is pretty funny. https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2018/10/4/17936974/lane-kiffin-coach-career-start-david-carr-fresno-state

SEC Shorts: Looking for Auburn's missing O Line In related news: as of game 5, back up Alabama QB Jalen Hurts STILL has thrown more TDs this year, than Auburn's starting QB, Jarret Stidham. Called the number in the video. It actually works, and goes to a voicemail requesting the caller to leave any information regarding Auburns missing OLine.

You really have no idea just how much influence and control the REC has, do you? Ever hear of the Illuminati? Just remember, you did not hear that from me. Saban pissed in your Cheerios again, didn't he?

If it makes you feel better, after last weeks win over aTm, Saban was begging the media to write something negative about the team. And the response was brutal: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/the-monday-after-no-1-alabama-is-actually-trash-and-the-tide-apparently-need-to-know-it/ You might enjoy that article, but I could barely finish it. It was way to depressing for me. And now Bama was outscored in the 4th quarter 14-0? By Louisiana-Lafayette? I had to go digitally silent. I can't take the negative onslaught that's happening. I suspended all my accounts including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, MySpace, Tinder, email, AIM, Twitch, You Tube, Usenet, Patreon, and IRC. This was my safe space. Now, you have ruined that for me.

Looking like Dabo is finally on the Trevor band wagon: https://www.tigernet.com/update/Swinney-announces-change-at-quarterback-30897

Yes it was. Tua finally faced a stiffer challenge, and came away still looking good. And he still has yet to play in the 4th quarter. He came so close this week, but not yet. Going into the aTm game, Tua was throwing a TD pass for very 7.5 passes. After this game, it's now 1 for 6.7 (80 pass attempts, 12 TDs).

SEC shorts strike again:

Like last year results, pre-season and early season polls are worthless in regards to this year. Everything needs time to settle out. Keep trolling. I find it fascinatingly amusing. Are you trying to claim Milton is a top 5 candidate for the Heisman, per ESPN? Per ESPN, as of 9/18/2018 (Note: Milton not even listed). http://www.espn.com/college-football/heisman/ Name Position School Year 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th Total Kyler Murray QB Oklahoma Jr. 4 2 4 0 0 40 Tua Tagovailoa QB Alabama Soph. 3 3 1 2 0 34 Will Grier QB West Virginia Sr. 2 3 2 1 0 30 Dwayne Haskins QB Ohio State Soph. 0 1 2 5 0 20 Ed Oliver DT Houston Jr. 1 1 0 2 2 15 Justin Herbert QB Oregon Jr. 0 0 3 0 0 3 Jonathan Taylor RB Wisconsin Soph. 0 0 0 0 3 3 Trace MCSorley QB Penn State Sr. 0 0 0 0 2 2 AJ Dillon RB Boston College Soph. 0 0 0 0 1 1 Mecole Hardman WR Georgia Jr. 0 0 0 0 1 1 Laviska Shenault Jr. WR Colorado Soph. 0 0 0 0 1 1

In college, there is so much roster turnover from year to year, last year is irrelevant. Troll attempt: Effort: C+ (Going after Tua is a bold strategy Cotton, but poorly thought out.) Execution: F (Better than Tua? Who's next on your list? Murray from OU?)

SEC shorts and Funnymaine team up this week for a video:

Special team coordinator and punt returner talk about the play: https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2018/9/16/17864636/north-texas-fake-fair-catch-punt-return-td Apparently, an Arkie player knew something was wrong, but just could not connect the dots... The play nearly collapsed before it got going, because one inquisitive Arkansas player almost figured it out. Here, we’re talking about this guy: No. 31, Grant Morgan. “The guy right in front of me was actually talking to me,” Brewer says. “Why aren’t they blowing the whistle?” Brewer heard Morgan ask him. Morgan peeked at the video board behind Brewer. The returner silently stared ahead. “I just sat there and waited,” he says. “It wasn’t too hard.”

That's because a big faction of their fan base is circle jerking over Phat Phil Fulmer being a part of the football program again.

In what sport? The Tide have never played UB in football. UB has played Auburn and UGA, but those games took place in Auburn, AL and Athens, GA. Bama did a home-home series with Penn State back in 2010/2011. Is that what you were thinking about? Edit: I just did a quick check of the UB schedule back to 1999. No Bama vs UB.

Layne Hatcher https://247sports.com/Player/Layne-Hatcher-93530

I have to agree. In the second half, Saban threw Jones out there instead of Hurts to finish the game out. Even for Saban, that was kind of an odd move. Hurts will play the 4 games he's allowed, and that will be it.

https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-football/california-high-school-football-team-cancels-season-after-losing-first-2-games-102-0/ "Following a 41-0 Week 1 loss and a 61-0 Week 2 defeat, six of the 18 players quit." Unless these kids are playing in some kind of 7 vs 7 football, that's nuts.

Would not doubt it. But lure of playing in the big boy sand box is more than they can handle. The financial perks and PR is too big of a draw, even though they keep losing money.

Here's are the points of the post: OP is bored OP attempts to troll board OP failed.

Saban does not opt for Citadel. He does not want to play teams like the Citadel. But Saban is not the AD. I realize people think Saban has full control of the program, but this an area he does not have any control over. As I said before, from the time Saban became the HC, he has been vocal about wanting more games against the bigger traditional powers. But if the AD, and more importantly, the big money boosters/alumni, do not want it, it's not going to happen. Nobody "told" UCF they were FBS (BCS?). They are FBS because they chose to move up, and they met the NCAA requirements. Nobody outside the school forced them to move up to FBS. There are 128 schools playing at the FBS level. Quite frankly, at least 50% have no business being there.

What are you talking about? Alabama won the SEC conference in 2016, and was ranked #1. In fact, Alabama had won 3 straight SEC titles prior to last year. Boise State might not want to unless Bama is willing to cough up a minimum of $1M. That was Boise States demands a few years ago. UCF. Cannot say for sure, as they are busy playing teams like Florida Atlantic, South Carolina State, Austin Peay, and Florida International. Don't worry. The people who want to expand the playoffs will fix it by including even more lower ranked teams. If you thought 1 and 2 beating up 3 and 4 was boring, wait till you get to see the sure fire excitement of 1-8 and 2-7. Then seeing 1 and 2 facing the onslaught by the winners of 3-6 and 4-5.

I was against the playoff format from the start. Hated it then, hate it now. Yes, that means Alabama would have never won last year. Doesn't bother me. Here's the irony. For the people who wanted the playoffs because they were tired of the SEC bias, and then clamored to expand it beyond 4 teams, last year had to be shocker. They finally got their justification for expanding. The 3rd and 4th seed played for the title. Too bad (for them) both teams were from the SEC.

I love how these type of arguments are presented. If an SEC team does it, it's disgraceful. Any other P5 team does it, barely a blip on the outrage meter. Hate to break it to you, Alabama and the SEC are not the only schools that play cupcake OOC schedules, unless you think Akron, South Alabama, and Austin Peay (just to name a few) are football powerhouses hiding in the shadows. Do you even know how scheduling even works? Do you honestly think it's Alabama that's afraid of playing a tougher OOC schedule? Saban has been consistent in saying he wants the team to play against more of the traditional powers. What makes you think other schools want to play Bama as an OOC opponent?

Key word: "seems", interpreted as "I did not like the outcome, so something must be shady." The CFB Committee set that precedent when they chose Ohio State over Penn State, feeling tOSU had the better resume. Now, we can debate whether or not the CFB Committee should even be doing that, but they were consistent when they chose Bama over the Barn.

Yeah, he went that way.
